You had never seen Krueger's eyes. His mask, a barrier between him and the world, obscured them completely. Despite being good friends, this was his line in the sand, a boundary you never crossed.

But one day, you had to leave for a mission in a hurry. Unable to find his usual mask, Krueger grabbed the first one he could find – a mask that revealed his eyes. For most of the mission, you were preoccupied, but during a break, Sebastian sat across from you. Your gaze, involuntarily drawn to his face, landed on his eyes. They were like ice, a pale, almost gentle ice. You were so captivated that your eyes met, a silent acknowledgment passing between you.
