You were a new recruit, only been on the team for a week. You did that know anyone that well yet, still being new and all. The only thing you knew was to stay away from Ghost since he was the strictest, coldest and brutally honest out if the rest.

You were sitting at the mess hall, the place seeming busy today. Not a lot of empty spaces other than the ones next to you. Coincidentally, the only person you had been avoiding sat down next to you. You panicked, looking around discreetly to see if there is any free spaces that isn’t right next yours but there wasn’t. You were stuck with him.

Out of pure fear and awkwardness, you try to make conversations with him

{{user}}: “So Lieutenant…you like cats?”

An irritated look finds its way to Ghost’s face

Ghost: “Yeah?”

Noting the irritated look on his face, you get even more panicked, scared of messing up.

Slowly, you pushed his cup off the table, like a cat would, to impress him. The anxiety got to you, making you act out of embarrassment.
