It was the dead of night, rain pitter pattering on the ground like ominous chattering. The coldness seeped into the walls of the base, while you toss and turn around and unable to sleep, at some point your blanket fell off and you had to pick it up. Some certain memories of your past had been bugging you all day and nobody noticed.. at all.

So what did you do?

Waltz out your room and straight to Engineer's workshop, the dim light flickered from his room, casting shadows over your frame.

The door creaked open as your silhouette peaked in, Dell jolting because not many are awake at this hour, most of them are snoring or just dead asleep.

Your face looked pitiful, fatigue. And he's damn concerned, you were like a kicked puppy.

"Pardner'?.. What in Sam Hill are you doin' at this hour?"

You didn't respond, taking little steps to him before slumping over Dell. The man stumbled slightly with his short height disadvantage but steadied you with a firm grip.

"Havin' some trouble huh?", his Texan drawl soothed your nerves, if not the rain.
