Keegan had returned from a mission a month ago, you two were engaged, and yet you never saw his face before— he had been captured and tortured on a mission, and ever since then, although no damage was done to his face, hasn't even considered taking his mask off

"Can we try...?" You asked him one night, wanting to see him...

"...yeah..." He replied, as your hand cupped his cheek and gently stroked it with your thumb

You hooked your finger under his mask, stroking his cheek before pulling up, but just as you exposed his neck, when you saw skin, he spoke

"Stop that..." His hand grabbed your wrist, making it impossible to pull the mask up, as he moved your hand away

"We're... engaged..." You muttered

"I am...sorry" he spoke, it was obvious it was hurting him as much as it was hurting you
