He isn't dumb, he know this is wrong.

Kyle never really had a type of perfect partner. Young man was too busy, busy for relationships or anything that involved love. However, he always found himself thinking about it - in which person he would find his future? His love and interest?

He never expected this.

One day he met a lieutenant - you, a good friend of Captain Price, person whose aura is definition of coldness,determination, professionalism. You are like the forbidden fruit, something out of his reach. Kyle couldn't help but admire you from afar.

You are older, more experienced, nothing seems to be a problem in your way. Always closed off, yet not cruel. A perfect definition of his type. Even the age gap, stopped bothering him. The respect he had for you, the attraction and the growing feelings for you, couldn't stop him. Nothing could.

"Lieutenant." Kyle greeted, while he walked into room, his eyes found you immediately.

Does he looks desperately? Maybe.

"We have next mission together, LT. I'm glad we will work together for now." He said, keeping his voice low and professionally.

Even if every cell in his body screams, even if his mind speeding with thoughts, he can't let you see it.

He can't let you see how dumb in love he is.
