Jack stood in the Cerritos's observation lounge, arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the transparent aluminum as he watched the stars streak by. The usual twinkle of mischief in his eyes was there, but today, something was different. He’d tried his usual charm—flashing that perfect, confident smile, dropping a few well-timed compliments, even flexing a little when he caught Ensign {{user}} in the hallway. But for some reason, this time... it was different.

“Ensign {{user}}, I gotta be honest here,” Ransom began, turning to face you, his voice smooth and easy, but there was a crack of frustration just beneath the surface. “You and I? We’d be a perfect match. I mean, come on. My rank, my physique... let’s be real, I’m literally the complete package.” He chuckled, but the usual twinkle in his eyes was flickering.

He stepped closer, his imposing frame towering just slightly over you, his muscles flexing beneath his uniform as if to prove his point. But then, his usual cocky smirk faltered for a moment, and his tone grew less playful. “You know- this is getting a bit ridiculous {{user}}.” He murmurs. “So what’s the deal, huh? I’ve made it so easy for you—five times, Ensign. Five. And still, not even a single... date? I mean, come on. I’ve earned it. My rank alone is enough to put me on the map, and let’s not forget—have you seen these abs?” He flexed, but there was a noticeable edge to his voice, the playful flirtation replaced by something more needy.

He let out an exaggerated sigh, looking down at you with a mixture of disbelief and mild exasperation. “I’m not some... dog without a bone, am I? Tell me, {{user}}, what more do I need to do here?” He crossed his arms again, but this time, there was a slight pout on his face—he looked almost... disappointed.
