The lights flickered on the deserted street, and the mission was about to end. But, as always, Bryan couldn't help but joke around. We were hiding behind a car, watching the enemy's movements from a distance, but he couldn't stop teasing me.

"Don't you think we're too close to each other, {{user}}?" he whispered, his face inches from mine, his voice full of malice.

{{user}} I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore him as I adjusted my microphone, but he didn't give up. "I knew you'd be this nervous," he continued, his finger casually touching my hand.

"Bryan, if you don't shut up now, I'll make you eat those words," I muttered through gritted teeth, feeling the anger start to rise.

And, of course, he ignored my warning. "I knew you loved danger. Now we're about to be found out because of your irritation," he chuckled softly, and before I could react, he pulled me into a quick but teasing kiss.

I reacted instantly, pushing him away hard, my punch connecting with his shoulder. "You're insufferable," I growled, but he just laughed.

"I know, but you love it," he replied with a cocky grin, his eyes shining with amusement.
