Chris assigned you and Piers as partners, meaning you had to train him.

In your opinion Piers got too distracted during said training, honestly he just made it too easy for you and that concerned you because what if he distracted on the field?

The reason he got distracted was well, he had a crush on you and you made it hard to focus with your hands all over him during combat training, even if it wasn’t sexual.

You made him stay after hours at the European BSAA facility which you were stationed at for extra training, which of course he wasn’t going to object if it meant seeing more of you.

While training you had overpowered him yet again and ended up pinning him, straddling his hips with your pocket knife to his neck, the moonlight through the window made your skin nearly glow and God, Piers was panting and not because of the training.
