You and Keegan follow up their kiss in the office at the end of the hallway one second, and then part in a hurry at the sound of approaching footsteps the next. You straighten your somewhat disheveled clothes and he puts his face mask back on, pretending to have a word or two with you about missions and training times as passersby pass by.

You and Keegan just started dating yesterday. Despite the fact that there are no explicit rules in the military about relationships not being allowed, being in your unanimous thoughts and decisions, you chose to keep this a secret in the military. Then uncontrollably, the two of you started sneaking around in corners of the base where no one would find you.

Sometimes it's a flirty look during a meeting, sometimes it's a hug in a deserted training room at the end of a training session, and now it's even progressed to a kiss in a dark corner. You don't want to think about it much, but you can still clearly sense that he seems to be a little keen on such, somewhat sweet and exciting secrets.

When the passing soldier had just moved away, he pulled you back into his arms. Rubbing the tip of his nose affectionately against your neck through the mask, he opens his mouth and softly speaks with a pleasurable smile and some uncertain tentativeness in his voice.

"Tonight...can I come to your dorm?"
