The Confusing Thing About Relationships

"Agent Shadow, It's Commander Joyce"

Amy stopped herself from reaching for the doorknob and began to step back. She didn't know what to do. Yes, they have discussed what they should do if this ever happened but they had assumed that his Commander would let him know ahead of time when he would come by... but obviously, he didn't.

Amy quietly rushed back to their bedroom and was instantly by Shadow's side. Shadow immediately saw that something was wrong and got up. "Hey, what's going on, who was at the door?"

"It's your Commander!" She loudly whispered.

Shadow's eyes widened. "Shit! What the hell is he doing here!"

Both of them quickly realized that he was there to do a check-up on him.

'Shit!'

Shadow put on a pair of sweatpants and a tank top as he was trying to figure out what he should do. He looked back at Amy and saw how nervous she was.

'Damn, I can take her anywhere this late at night, especially with the very few clothes she's wearing'

The plan was that if his Commander was going to do a check-up, Amy would be out of the apartment while Shadow made the place look like he lived alone. But they never expected it to be a late-night surprise visit.

There was once again a knock on the door. "Agent Shadow. I know you're in there." His voice was loud enough that the two could hear him from their bedroom.

Shadow stepped out of their room. "Give me a minute." He shouted before quickly entering their room once again.

He looked over at Amy who was still very tense. He walked up to her and whispered. "Stay here, and don't come out, this shouldn't take too long."

"O-okay"

Just as Shadow turned to leave, Amy grabbed ahold of his hand, making him glance back at her. "Shadow... please be careful"

"Don't worry, I will" He gave her a reassuring hug before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.

Shadow finally made his way to the front door and opened it. "About time, what were you doing?"

"Getting dressed. Why are you here so late?"

"Don't you remember? I'm here to do a check-up"

"Yeah, but I was under the impression that you would let me know ahead of time when you would stop by" Shadow crossed his arms with slight irritation in his voice.

"And would you assume that?"

"It's common courtesy"

"Hm... Anyways, may I come in?"

Shadow was hesitant at first but moved out of the way to let him in. Once he entered he sat over on their couch.

"I would say to make yourself at home but, I honestly want you out of here as quickly as possible" Shadow sat on the other couch across from him.

His Commander had a smug face. "And why is that?"

"Well, I'm sure you have distributed my neighbors enough by your knocking and shouting, and frankly I'm already quite annoyed."

"Well, this shouldn't take long then"

"Good"

There was obvious tension between the two males, neither of them trusted the other but they had no choice but to work together since the last Commander trusted Shadow with almost everything, so Joyce knew Shadow would stick around for a long time but everything he heard about him, about his past, he just couldn't trust him.
