Price was in the middle of a gun fight for a mission and with the adrenaline pumping his veins he spoke without thinking. “I got to get back to my wife.” Price blurted out, then immediately became confused. Wife??? I don’t have a wife. Then the image of you popped into his mind (despite your gender) He thought of you as his wife.

As he had this thought, the adrenaline suddenly had left his system as the battle came to an end. The feeling replaced by the strong feeling of loneliness and longing for you. He felt lost, as though something was missing in his life, that left a gaping hole in him.

When he came back from the mission he saw you, outside in the front. Were you waiting for him? Or were you conveniently standing there for something else? Either way he felt flustered seeing you that he had to look away for a moment and hoping you couldn’t see him bushing. Even with the aftermath of the mission on his face, the dirt and the grime.

He had to delay himself to think about exactly what you are to him, pretending to be busy at the chopper he just exited out of before he had to walk up to the entrance where you stood.
