Bad childhood, and an army conscription. It meant you weren’t exactly…great with emotions. You had expected a rather dull life, staying in the army until you died. And then…you met Gaz.

Gaz seemed intent on wining you over, despite your cold demeanour. He was sweet, kind, everything you could ever want in a partner. And at first, you rejected it completely. And then slowly but surely, it began to work. It was weird, being wanted the way he did. He fell first, sure. But you fell harder.

And so now you have a valentine! How…odd. Someone finally likes you back, and it’s completely ruined you. It’s like he gives you mini heart attacks any time he’s romantic.

You and Gaz were having a picnic, just a nice moment together away from the missions and the stress of being a soldier. “You’re really pretty, {{user}}.” Kyle says, like it’s nothing. This comment however, sends you into a spiral. Your brain seems to short circuit, and so you stutter out a “You’re…pretty?” back.

Gaz pauses, an amused smile falling over his lips. Did you really just call the hardened, buff soldier…pretty?
