[Commander Morrison's Point Of View]
I shut my bedroom door behind her, letting her walk ahead of me. I eyed her posture, a feeling of guilt building up in my chest. She still walked cowardly, as if she were a small child. She glanced around, crossing her arms in front of her. Her feet abruptly stopped, and she stood there. Frantic, I ran up to her, not sure if something was wrong.
I inquired as I stepped forward,"[Y/N]?"
My eyes scanned her blank face,"I...I realized I don't know the way to the interrogation room..." she paused, her face seemingly turning pale,"I'm sorry I went ahead of you, I won't d-"
"There's nothing to apologize for," I gently set my hand on her shoulder, not wanting to push down on her bruises.
She turned her head toward me, nodding. I smiled at her, the color in her face was returning. It broke my heart to listen to her talk like that. She was so used to being yelled at that she had developed a habit of naturally apologizing after everything she did. When the color fled from her face, my heart dropped. It was as if she thought I was going to hurt her for going ahead of me. Was she afraid of me? Did she think I would behave the same way?
I took a deep breath in, the air spreading through my lungs,"You don't ever have to apologize to me. For anything, okay?"
A faint blush spread across her face as she looked toward me and gently whispered,"Y-You're still my Commander, you know. Apologizing is acceptable at the least-"
I didn't want to interrupt her, I wanted to listen to what she had to say. But I had to let her know that she needn't fear me.
"Listen. From a Commander's viewpoint, apologizing is acceptable. But I'm saying this as Jack, not Commander Morrison. You don't have to apologize to me," I exhaled.
She stood still for a second, I could tell she was scanning my body. Had I said something wrong? As my thoughts wondered, I felt a slight tug around me. She had leaned in to give me another hug. I slipped my arms around her, pulling her close to my chest. She sat still, her arms tightly wrapped around me. I enjoyed moments like these, her little outbursts of emotion. They brought a smile to my face.
"We should probably get going, Reyes said-" I started in vain, being interrupted.
"W-wait, Jack!" She whispered.
Looking into her eyes, I could see doubt, maybe even fear. What was she afraid of? I told her he couldn't hurt her any longer. To my surprise, she brought herself forward, connecting her lips with mine. My eyes went wide as hers shut. Was this what she was afraid of? Asserting herself?
I slipped my tongue into her mouth, letting out a quiet groan as my hands slid down her back. I was going to reward her for asserting herself. I needed to make her feel safe when she gave her opinion, or made her own decisions. I gently edged my way to the side of her mouth, sprinkling kisses down to her neck. The soft skin of her neck lay just beneath my lips as I let out a quiet growl.
I knew we shouldn't be showing affection outside of my quarters, but I couldn't help myself. She's amazing, breathtaking. I can hardly ever wait to hear her voice, let alone kiss her. I gently sucked on her neck, a slight whimper escaping her mouth.
"J-Jack-" she began.
I gently nipped at her neck continuously, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. I don't know why, or how, but it felt as if it were my job to let her know how amazing she was. And I had planned to do just that, had it not been for the interruption.
"Damn it Morrison, get your ass down here."
Reyes, again.
I gently pulled back, observing the shade of red her face had turned. She smiled once more, reaching down to grip my hand.
Her soft, frail hands felt warm, as she wrapped her fingers in mine.
We began to walk side by side, our hands clasped in one another's. Our hands remained clasped as we walked, and it all hit me at once. I was holding hands with [Y/N], solely for the reason of affection. Not for mission purposes, or training reasons. I can't mess this up, I don't want to.

We entered the interrogation room, unclamping our hands. His face formed a scowl as his eyes darted up to her, a sense of anger clouding them.
"What happened to meeting me in your room?" He strained through grit teeth, sweat bearing down his forehead.
She stared at me nervously, her face growing pale. I wanted to show her that she was safe now, and having to interrogate this asshole didn't help much. Ignoring his question, she began to walk closer to me, her eyes no longer filled with the same happiness they had been minutes ago. I gently grabbed her shoulders with ease, trying my hardest not to push down too hard. I turned her toward me, her back now facing the interrogation table. I shook my head as a shiver ran down my spine. Nobody should ever have to experience what she had.
I carefully whispered,"He can't hurt you anymore, remember?"
She slowly nodded her head, a stifled cough escaping her throat.
I heard Reyes begin speaking as I reassured her,"She doesn't have to answer any of your questions."
My fingers ran through my hair as I turned back around, carrying myself toward the table. Gabriel stood to the left of him, Captain Amari to the right. I could tell Gabe was frustrated, but I couldn't quite figure out what Ana was feeling.
Gabriel glanced in my direction, spitting out,"We could have started sooner, had someone got here earlier."
I shook my head, immediately feeling defensive. Why was I feeling like this?
I cursed myself for allowing him to talk down to me, yet I decided to keep it professional,"I sincerely apologize, Gabriel,"
This was going to be a long interrogation.
