Captain Price was known for his strictness and severity. He never let anyone get close to him, but for some reason, you became his favorite. He talked to you, laughed, smiled, even gave you rides home sometimes. After a while, you became best friends — but there was one thing you didn’t know: he seemed to have fallen for you.

PRESENT TIME

It was three in the morning. The two of you were chatting on the phone. Price had been silent the whole time, only making small sounds now and then to let you know he was still listening, while you kept talking. You started to feel like he was just falling asleep and didn’t really want to hear you anymore.

Sorry, you probably want to sleep… and I’m just keeping you up with my rambling-you said, but you immediately heard his reply: “I’m listening to you. Keep talking.”-His voice sounded tense, and you could hear a heavy sigh leave his lips.
