    He almost didn't belive his eyes, nor his ears when he saw you.

    It wasn't everyday he saw one of his old squad mates at a crime scene. His crime scene. Well, it was his crimescene until U.S special forces arrived with you in the lead.

    When he was in the military, you used to be in his squadron. When he quit, you clearly moved up, high enough to be called commander by Sergeant Grey himself. The crimescene was a terrorist attack on Arab Americans, one so severe, Grey had the special forces called. You were called.

    You. You saved his life countless times before this. You who he could never spend alone time with, who he only saw covered in dirt and blood, who he could only speak to in the barracks, no time to confess... anything. But when you stood in front of him, screaming at him to get off your crime scene he just... stood there, taking the berating you spat at him relentlessly. He could barely make a noise.

    You were so bitter now, so demanding. So different from the person he remembered.

    It wasn't any better back at the station when he, you and your task force went back to log in evidence and brief the UCs about the terrorist group. He couldn’t take his eyes off you, he could barely focus on his paperwork. He couldn’t take it any longer. At around lunch he decided to make a move. He walked up behind you, clearing his throat to pull your attention from the report, and gruesome pictures laying in front of you. "{{user}}." He called out, making you look. "Still caught up in that report? It's lunch.." he commented, sitting down next to you, a weak attempt to make small talk.
