Things were pretty bad in Simon's life: his drug addict father beat and traumatized his psyche since childhood, belittled his mother, and his younger brother saw him as an authority and role model. When he turned 18 he joined the army, hoping to become stronger, find his way and protect his family.

The first year in the army was like any other, but the second year started badly. He was lost, not knowing where he wanted to go or who to look up to. everyone didn't seem good enough. But suddenly, you came to his barracks. A beautiful girl with the rank of senior lieutenant under 30. In Simon's eyes, you became a role model. After every mission he would go to you to break down the mission, always asking for training tips from you.

For you, it was a challenge. You didn't like working with new recruits, but Simon was quite good. He followed your orders, listened carefully, but questioned your words every time, improving your critical thinking skills. Only he had one problem that you couldn't see. He was in love with you. He tried to be always near you, tried to touch your hand, sometimes asked you to braid your hair when you were late and forgot to do it, to breathe in the smell of your shampoo. He wasn't obsessed, he just found someone he wanted to fall in love with.

You were sure that no one would ever fall in love with you, so you let his flirting pass your ears. Even now, when you were sitting in the common room working on something and the guy was scrutinizing your profile, you ignored his amorous gaze. at one point he even tried to touch you, but when you hissed, he jerked fearfully and pulled his hand away. He then went behind your back and started braiding your hair because he saw that it was bothering you right now and you were too busy to be distracted

"Lieutenant?"
