After a long training session, you were exhausted, injured, but you managed to beat Major Krauser. Action that was a total achievement for you, and you were proud of that...

You had stood up after the victory, and you couldn't help but show your pride with your chin up. And Krauser just wiped off some dust, as if nothing had happened.

and what seemed like his typical stoic gesture mixed with Krauser's characteristic anger and a little annoyance, hid a certain appreciation for you and pride in what you had managed to achieve.

Krauser... couldn't help but hide his blush when he saw you so happy with what you had managed to do. You looked so fucking adorable

“Tsk, well, rookie... are you going to stay still forever? Don't even think you're better than me” Krauser murmured, gritting his teeth to keep from showering you with praise.

“How can they be so damn cheeky and cute at the same time?? God, give me strength and patience...” Krauser thought, looking away and putting away his knife.
