I stare at the empty wall of my room, the lights were off and the only thing gleaming into my room was the moonlight. Although we just arrived back from the mission I didn't feel tired.

I sat down with half of my equipment on and the other on the ground. I felt like just trying to close my eyes and seeing if that would help me go to sleep.

I begin to take off all the equipment struggling a bit because of how heavy everything is. I grunt slightly kicking and pushing all of it off.

With all of it finally on the ground I organize it, I look up at the clock by my door and see that it was 11pm, although it wasn't that late it would have been better to sleep than anything. I put everything away and stand in the middle of my room with shorts and a tank top, which have been shrunk.

I really ought to decorate the place with at least a mirror or something cause I can't even tell how musty I look right now. I rub my face and sigh, I felt my dry skin and looked into the rack of my clothes, I looked at the time once more for good measure.

Everyone was tired so I could shower right?

The only bad thing well there was multiple things but because it mostly men they had no facility for women so I had to use the same as the guys, which made it worse considering I would have to shower at late hours of the night.

I grab my towels, a change of clothes, and all my bath essentials. I slip on bunny slippers. I tried not to laugh at myself.

I'm a grown women I'm in the best unit of the military and here I was with bunny slippers on.

Maybe I just couldn't sleep cause I felt so disgusting. I didn't even realize how bad I smelled til I took off all my equipment which somehow covered that ick. It's honestly shocking that no one told me anything but they must be used to smelling like that.

I open my door and look both ways, it was good that all the rooms were sound proof cause then I would wake everyone up. I close my door and quickly and quietly as possible, a sigh escapes my lips.

I head towards the shower room and look in between each corner hoping no one would be awake, I knew they rarely had anyone guarding inside during the time which is stupid but it made me sneaking off to shower better.

I twist the knob finally arriving, "hello?" I say just in case, "anyone here?" I continue.

Not even a peep, all I could hear was my own voice echoing. I head to the farthest shower from the door, I place all my things on the floor near me and begin to take off my clothes.

I icked smelling myself, quickly I turn on the shower and let the water drip down all my body. I watch as the water falls from my head to my toes.

I grab my shampoo and conditioner, which both smelled like strawberries and creams. I didn't know why this was my favorite smell it was like something I wanted to make my signature of course this was something I decided before realizing how bad you smell after a mission.

I begin to rub the shampoo in my scalp it was honestly releasing after feeling dirty for 2 fucking days which is the longest I've felt this disgusting for.

"Fuck me!" I yell getting some shampoo into my eyes.

"Mouse?" I hear a voice say from what sounds like by the door. I jump being scared not expecting anyone to be awake. "Is that you?" Once they came closer I realized it was ghost. I swallow. "Uh yes sir?" I say trying to rub the shampoo out of my eyes.

"What are you doing?" He asks, I hear as he steps closer towards me. I blink my eyes quickly as I get the shampoo eyes, "Um showering sir,?"

"It's 11:30." He states. I begin to turn my body to face him, "Stop, don't!" He practically yells. I stop in my tracks and feel my heart start beating.

"Sorry," he clears his throat, "I don't have a mask on and you can't see me." He states.

"What is it illegal to see your face?" I ask.

"No but I'll kill anyone who does." He says.

"Is that a joke?" I question.

"Maybe." He replies.

I let my body relax, I hear the shower head furthest from me. I sigh, can't even shower in peace.

I want to turn to see him maybe just a glimpse to see if he really is attractive but that threat it was most likely a joke he wouldn't kill his fellow mate right? I begin to bite my nails.

"Why are you showering this late?" His voice sounded different now that I realized that it wasn't muffled from the mask. "Uh.." I swallow, "Most of the guys are asleep by this time." I emphasize on the most.

"Why are you, sir?" I ask back, "Couldn't sleep." He replies.

I could hear every-time the water would slightly bounce off his body, it sent goosebumps all over my body. I mean how could it not we were both naked and wet.

"What did you think?" He asks me another question.

"About what sir?" I say in a confused tone.

"The mission how did you think it went?"

"I hope I did good did you think I did good sir?"

"You did alright I like your method." He says.

"Im sorry sir what method?"

"How you made him pass out and then shot him." He explains.

I've found the best way to forget you've killed another human being is to just erase out of your memory but when people bring it up you can't. My mind without control takes me back to that man dying in my arms and as the light left his eyes.

"Thank you, sir." I mutter, I grab my conditioner and beginning scrubbing my head violently almost like I was trying to scrub the memory off. I let the water drip down and kept scrubbing.

For a few minutes he doesn't say a thing and I complete forget he was there as I was lost in my thoughts, in which made me turn off the shower head and wrap myself up with my towel.

I slip on my bunny slippers and take my basket with things and head towards the exit, I look back almost dropping something and at the same time my feet begin to slip on water.

I loose my balance feeling like I was about to stumble down the ground, he threw out his hand to catch me swiftly I grab it quickly and he lifts me, grabbing me tightly by the waist.

I look up at him as he already had his mask back on.

It all happened so fast but I already felt the goosebumps coming back as I felt his strong buff wet body next to mine. "You alright mouse." His voice even deeper then I remembered.

"Uh fine thank you sir." I look down in embarrassment his feet were so much bigger than mine and I probably embarrassed myself more by being in bunny slippers.

He points at them as he still held my body close to his, "Funny." He says in a tone. "I-Um." I stummer trying to find the words to say.

I mean I've been this close to men before I've done numerous things with men before im not thinking that because I want to do things with him but it felt weird I felt tension and I didn't know if it was sexual.

He lets go of me, "You ought to be more careful mouse."

I look at his body, a six pack, my eyes fixate on the tattoos on his arms and the scars that haven't fully faded I never noticed before I mean of course I haven't since he was always completely covered. I swallow as my eyes follow his happy trail leading straight down to his dick but his lower body was covered by a towel.

"Good night." He begins to walk away, "Goodnight sir." I say.

I swallow and watch him walk away his back was even better. I wonder how he would look fully naked

I shake my head.

What the fuck was I thinking? I almost slap myself. He knew my dad he's the same age as my dad!

He let my dad die for him. That actually hit me those 7 words shocked me, I don't think i could ever find him attractive or anything if I knew that.

And again he made it seem like he didn't know him like he didn't care about him.
