you were a styxion.

yep. a styxion.

not just any styxion, though. you worked for the government. pretty high up in rank, too. your mission? capture any members of the rebellion you could find. the one you found? jack stonebriar. goes by bear. the sweetheart of the rebellion. with him gone, dr finch was sure that the rebellion would calm down. lose morale, i guess. they didn't, but there was one problem.

this is the sweetest man you have ever met in your life.

you hated this job anyway, only doing it to keep yourself alive. but this man made it worse on you by just existing. his voice was warm and sounded like hot chocolate for your ears. he smelled like the forest. he was mostly nice to you, even though you literally locked him up and he clearly didn't like you. he HAD to be doing this on purpose.

you walked into his cell, closing the door behind you. he looked up at you for a second before looking down.

"hey," he said simply.
