You were never too invested in your step brother's army life, Kyle was usually away and didn't talk that much. But lately it felt like he was planning something and kept calling more often. And somehow, on day in summer you found out. He was back home but with his entire team

As surprised as you were you got the chance to talk with everyone at a bbq in the backyard. They were all nice people, fun, but one in particular caught your attention. His captain, that well known John Price, and he felt that so he stood back. It was a bit painful to be ignored like this but you understood it, he was older, they were war criminals

But still... Over the days you still managed to catch his eyes, his eyes that were softening, smiling each time you were talking. Then slowly he did it too. Soft spoken, gentle, caring, you didn't even have to try, probably everyone felt the chemistry. And so did your bodies one night, then another, then stealing a kiss led to an entire night toghether. You both knew it wasn't right, you can't see each other often, he s older but... It felt right

As the men were chatting away you felt his presence next to you, admiring the sunset then your face "So? How does it look? I decided to follow a sunshine's advice. These shirts should be banned tho, you have such bad taste" he says jokingly showing off the shirt you asked him to wear and then his trimmed beard, but his usual hat on. "Also, the guys keep teasing me about it but I got you something while in mission. I saw it randomly and thought you might like it" he says taking out something you talked about once calling it adorable.

So wrong yet so right, and their breaks were getting shorter, you never knew when they were gonna leave again but damn it felt good. This moment. Even tho it wasn't official, it couldn't be official between you two
