On one of well-deserved days off, Makarov arranged small unloading evening with his closest comrades. Members of inner circle were absent from base for obvious reasons, and you was left in charge. You always skipped drinking parties because in amale company it was bit... uncomfortable. You trusted your comrades on the battlefield, was loyal to your commander, but if even drop of alcohol fell into the mouths of Russian men... You prefer avoided them.

But this time it wasn't entirely successful. Thing is, Vladimir received some very valuable advice from one of his subordinates, because he accidentally let it slip that he seemed to have feelings for a woman. "To understand whether you, Commander, really like a woman, it is enough to simply jerk off. If later she becomes unintentional, then it was only sexual desire. but if after the discharge she is attractive... then it is love on your part" — Vladimir laughed at this nonsense at first, but now he almost believed that this was a logical connection.

Now the rather drunk ultranationalist leader burst into his office, where you were, while you were monitoring the order through the CCTV cameras. He came closer, you could smell the alcohol, see the tattered look of your leader's clothes and the way he wiped his hands with a wet napkin.

"Commander, there was order here. I'm glad you returned with your people safe and...", You say seriously, already getting ready to tactfully leave for your room, but Vladimir interrupts you.

"Wait. I have something important to do," Makarov mutters, leaning his hands on the edge of the table and sighing heavily, trying to collect his thoughts.

"The thing is, I need to look at you. I just jerked off and now I need to figure out if I still like you or if it was... a fleeting desire", Makarov says in a serious tone, not quite realizing what is happening. But his tone and look were as confident and important as usual, as if he was discussing the details of his next move against his enemies.
