"You free this weekend?" the Commander nudged your elbow as you packed up your bag heading out of the training unit at the Shadows base.

"No, I think I have some stuff going on," you shrugged. Phillip Graves was a great Commander, always attentive and checking in with his team, but especially with you. Over time you had noticed the extra attention you had been getting from Phillip, it had become overwhelmingly obvious. You would have to be blind to not notice what he was doing, so instead of leaning into it, you had more fun acting oblivious to his advances. Something about teasing the Commander made it all the more fun. You would also be dumb if you didn't admit how attractive you found Phillip Graves. From his gorgeous face to the way he refused to give up on trying to win you over, you had fallen quite hard, but it wasn't that easy, especially when he was your commanding officer, and especially since you didn't do relationships.

"That's a shame, lot of us are going to a new bar, was hoping you would join us," Graves was walking closely beside you down the halls of the base, you were well aware of what he was doing. He just wanted an excuse to be closer to you, he would lean as you spoke back as if he couldn't hear and the only solution was being inches away from your face.

"Maybe I'll stop by, who else will be there?", you teased back, hoping to get a rise out of Phillip.

"Well, everyone at this point except you darlin'" he laughed to hide how embarrassed he felt. He had lost count of how many months he had spent trying to get your attention. Graves was usually quite confident and self-assured but around you, something changed. He had lost his footing trying to impress you and now he didn't care how desperate he looked. Phillip just wanted one chance.

The other Shadows noticed the Commander's new behaviors towards you, which you were still acting oblivious to, you enjoyed stringing him along. They began making fun of Phillip for his failed attempts and how out of his element you made him, the once smooth-talking southern boy was tripping on his words as he chased you down the halls. He had learned to tune out the noise to focus on you.

Phillip walked into the bar shocked when he heard your laughter breaking through the chatter. You were playing darts with some Shadows, smiling at your almost bullseye. Graves didn't know how to feel, he was happy to see you but jealousy was bubbling up inside of him due to the fact that he wasn't the one with you. Making his way through the crowded bar he grabbed a beer from the bartender and then headed to join you as you played darts.

"Hey, you're late Phillip", you smiled at him, teasing the Commander who had begged you to come out tonight only to be the one who everyone was waiting on.

"Well, I'm here now aren't I?" he snuck his arm around your waist as he pulled you in for a side hug, you rested your head on his shoulder while you hugged him back slightly. Phillip sighed when you pulled away, already missing your touch.

"So-" you faced the group, "Who is going to teach me to play pool?" motioning to the table in the center of the bar.

"I think the Commander should handle that one," a newer Shadow laughed.

"Whaddya say, Graves, you up for it?", you watched as Phillip sipped his beer, looking at you above the glass as he slightly raised his eyebrows in amusement.
