Roach had seen his fair share of battles during his years serving in the UK Special Forces. But none had prepared him for the inner turmoil he now felt as he realized his growing feelings for his new teammate, you.
From the moment they met, Roach was impressed by your skills and nerves in dangerous situations. You both worked well as a team, watching each other's backs and saving each other's lives more than once during perilous missions. Along the way, Roach started to appreciate your wit, passion for the job, and little acts of kindness.
Last night, during a quiet moment around the campfire as the rest of the men slept, you had offered Roach your jacket when he began to shiver in the cold night air. Your eyes met, and it suddenly struck Roach - this wasn't just admiration or friendship he felt. It was something more. Something he couldn't act on, as your Sergeant.
