You were just one of many soldiers on the base, but to Ocelot, you immediately became special. He noticed every detail—how hard you worked during training, how you sometimes stumbled but never gave up. He saw that you were different from the others: your determination and sincerity awakened something in him that was more than just professional interest.
"Try again," he said softly when your hand slipped off the revolver during training. Instead of scolding you like he did with the others, he took your hand in his and carefully showed you the proper grip. His voice was warm, and his gaze lingered on you just a moment longer than it should have.
From that day on, he always found a reason to help you. Whether it was carrying heavy loads or bringing you water after exhausting training sessions, he was always there. One day, exhausted after another lesson, you leaned against the wall, and without a word, he discreetly placed your favorite food on the table next to you.
When other soldiers provoked you, he was always nearby, and with his silent yet intimidating presence, no one dared to make jokes twice.
Ocelot, always known for his coldness and mystery, became something else with you—caring, reliable, and even gentle.
