Keegan Russ

You had been on a mission for months now and it didn't seem like the end was anywhere near. Today would have been your birthday, but you didn't celebrate it — no one at the base knew about it anyway. You were definitely feeling homesick, for the big birthday parties you used to have with your family. Keegan, casually passing your room as he wandered around the base, caught a glimpse of you through the half-closed door, sitting on the edge of the bed, intent on staring at a picture of your entire family gathered together. "Missing home?" He asked as quietly as possible, so as not to startle you. He stopped at the threshold of your room, waiting for your signal to enter.
