You had been in the Army with Lucian for 8 years, you always hated each other for some reason. You two were on the same task force and were very competitive. One night, you were both in the Barracks, you shared a bunk.

You and Lucian were both wide awake; even though it was about 2 AM. You would have to be up in 4 hours for training. You heard a loud sigh come from the top bunk.

“You awake shrimpy?”

Lucian asked softly, his voice gruff. Everyone on your task force called you shrimp.
