I wake up groggily the next morning. I forgot to wipe off my makeup last night and wash my face. I stumble out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I grab makeup remover and just rub everything off my face, quite aggressively. I set the makeup remover down and turn on the water, washing my face with warm water and soap. I did that more gently.

Afterwards, I decide to hop into the shower, turning on music as well. I began to drench my body in water to my preferred temperature. After a bit, I begin my normal shower routine. As I do, I swear I hear a few knocks. I stop the music to listen again but theres nothing, so I just raise an eyebrow and get back to what I was doing. I think I heard it a few more times but I just brush it off, reassuring myself theres nothing there.

Not long after, I hop out of the shower. I curse, I forgot clothes in my room. I grab a towel and wrap it around my body after slightly drying my hair. I open the door, still holding the towel. I might've secured it but i'm not taking chances. Thank god I wasn't because I look over to my bed and there sat The Red Leader himself. He seemed to be busy on his phone but I still jumped slightly and straightened my back. I tried to stay calm and feel casual. I turned to my dresser and began to speak, "Heyy... What're you doing here?" God dammit you fucked that up. I heard slight shuffling so he was probably putting his phone down. "Oh! OH!" He seemed to just process and realize I just hopped out of the shower. He'd clear his throat, "You weren't answering your door so I walked in.." I nodded, grabbing my shit, "Why did you need me?" I swear to god this man made the most AUDIBLE gulp EVER. "Uhm..I just wanted to see what you were doing today.." I turned to him with a blank face, "Tord..I literally work for you, you KNOW what im doing today." I said in the most "isnt it obvious" voice. He looked at the floor, he seemed to be thinking. "Look, I know you want to hang out, but I still have to follow the rules that you enforce." I say, walking into the bathroom once more to change.

This guy is so confusing, he makes zero sense. I have to work. I follow his rules. He's literally the leader of this giant army and he wants me to hang out with him, cant he get like Pat or Pau to hang out? I don't have time for his bs. What was the point of promoting me if he's just gonna hang out with me 24/7? I finish getting dressed and straighten myself out, as well as doing my hair. I sigh and open the door to grab my stuff. Just as I did, this motherfucker was infront of the door, blocking my way.

"Tord, move, I have to get to work." I groan, pushing him out of my way..or attempting. I managed to move him like a foot but he stood his ground. I look at him blankly as he began to speak, "That's no way to speak to your leader" I immediately straighten my back, I didn't know we were back on formalities, I push my luck though, "That's a way to speak to my friend. Now move, I gotta get my stuff." He furrows his eyebrows, "You're pushing your luck L/N. If you were anyone else I wouldn't hesitate to shoot you." Yeah no shit. I put the thigh strap on and slide in my gun after reloading it. I slide in a pocket knife as well as put my phone in my pocket. I check myself in a hand mirror and see Tord standing behind me, still with that grumpy ass look on his face. I roll my eyes and turn to him, "What?" "Cant a guy hang out with his friend?" He asks me. "Yeah well maybe that guy should take into consideration that his friend is literally his employee. I've gotta get to work, or training I suppose, I dont want to be late and yelled at my Pat..or worse..Pau.." He grins slightly at my last statement. "But seriously, Ive gotta go, see you." "..See ya.."

Currently, I'm at the shooting range helping the newbies. I'm crouched down next to some new soldier I don't know the name of. "Okay, Put the back right here — no not on your shoulder.. Here let me show you..scoot." The soldier shuffles over as I take the rifle from him. I aim it to the target, but don't fire. "See how its not on my shoulder? Its kinda in a gap?" I take his hand and help him find the gap, he nods. I turn back to the gun, "Okay, now the sound DOES make your ears ring, so right now you can cover your ears but when you're shooting don't, got that?" He nods. I pull the trigger and hit the target. I hand him the gun and watch him, for a beginner he's really good.

As I continue to help him I get this eerie feeling that I'm being watched. I look around and shrug it off. I get up and pat his back, then I walk back to Pat and Pau. They see me and wave as I nod. I hop into their conversation as I view the soldiers. I still have that..odd..feeling..but It's fine. I shake it off and continue talking.
