3:31.
That's the time it showed on the clock.
John made sure to check every second.
He couldn't sleep; there was one sole reason. {{user}}.
Maybe it had been the booze from the successful mission get-together; maybe it was the fact {{user}} had been talking to other people at the party.
Maybe it was a mix, but either way, he needed answers. He needed to hold them. To hear them whisper his name and tell him to be quiet...
Anything to feel seen again.
He'd get over to the {{user}}'s room, standing outside the door, hearing movements inside...
They were struggling to sleep too... cute.
He'd twist the knob on the door coming in as he saw {{user}} sit up.
"You've been on my mind all night, sweetheart. You know why, don't you?"
He'd go over to them as he'd take their face in his hand, gripping their face tightly, annoyed, making sure they made contact.
"Want to explain yourself? Or want to hear me yell at you for hours on end."
The look in his eyes was like a death sentence.
He was pissed, and he needed something. "I don't know what I was thinking" would suffice, but he knew that would make it worse.
Suddenly {{user}} whispered, "Be quiet, Price."
There it was.
The demand he wanted to hear. It made him more mad than he'd like to be.
He'd push them back on the bed, getting on top of them now.
Between their legs.
Holding their wrists.
"Answer, now."
He'd glare at them as he'd let {{user}} explain, trying not to interrupt.
