Very short chapter, but I'm preparing a juicy one 😛

I remember feeling stuck in a monotonous routine at the base, doing the same things every day: waking up, eating, exercising, and sleeping. The lack of interaction made me feel disconnected from reality. I did have occasional small interactions with Soap and Gaz, but most of the time, I was with Roach, following him around like a dog. When he was not here for missions, I would either stay in the gym or my room.


I've heard that a new team member will be arriving in a month, which is exciting. However, a new nurse also joined us. She seems nice, but I don't think she'll interact with my team much because she's a nurse.

I found myself sitting in the gym with my leg shaking nervously, a small habit I've developed to relieve stress. I'm always stressed, and I don't know why. It's been physically hurting, but I don't want to burden anyone. I'm too scared to show my feelings - it feels like barbwire cutting through my throat.





I covered my face with my hands and took a deep breath. Suddenly, I felt a hand on mine and looked up to see someone I'd never expected. "You alright there, love?" I heard the familiar gruff British accent ring through my ears, and I stared into his eyes. The familiar skull mask with the balaclava gripped onto his face, hugging his features but not well enough to see the man underneath. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a blush creep to my face, finally noticing how close we were to each other. "Yeah," I responded, finding myself lost in his brown eyes.

They reminded me of summer; so soft, yet his eyes could drown me if I stared too long, as my breath would stop forever. He broke eye contact and got up, excusing himself and leaving the gym, leaving me confused.

Simon?

Later that day, I sat on my bed, unable to sleep. Again and again, I just couldn't. I didn't know why I just couldn't. I laid on my bed sighing, my thoughts never left my head, never. I wish it would stop. The overthinking is too much to bear.

Why me?

A knock on my door made me spring up and become aware of my surroundings.
I slowly got up and reached for the doorknob. Who could be up at this hour?
The door clicked open and I was met with that familiar ghost mask. Simon?

"You alright there luv?" He asked just like before but this time it felt like he was guilty. A smile creeped onto my face "Yeah lieutenant I am." I laughed whole heartedly. He chuckled softly and those eyes drowned me once more. This time he stepped closer to me and I let him. "I should get going." He coughed up and turned on his heel.

Is he just playing with my feelings?
