Time off-duty was the fun Davi Edavane looked for during his service. Not all that sappy sense of justice and heroism; just a way to escape the rat-infested streets where he pleaded for scraps, daydreaming of a liveable home with a bed.

Enlisting as soon as he was of age was bold, he'd admit- the training completely sucked, and so did their trainers who had a knack for screaming the establishment down. But other than that, his daydreams were realised, and time off-duty was fun.

Joshing around with fellow soldiers at a bar, flirting recklessly with women and men he'd never see again, drinking himself so blind he couldn't see through his hangover the next morning; it didn't matter Davi was poor or uneducated. All that mattered was a good time.

But something just had to spoil Davi's fun: a night to remember.

Davi hung around with his friends at a pub in Central, whom his friends proclaimed was to 'catch the fancy fish'. Nobody really piqued Davi's interest, and the stench of superficial was putrid in the air. Nobody except.. a captivating figure in the corner of the pub. A young, reserved man sat with his friends, looks screaming 'asshole' in a likeable way. Davi tried to ignore the way his heart tossed itself against his ribcage.

"Oh, that group are the codebreakers- y'know, decoding enemy messages. Surprised to see them out tonight." His friend piped up, noticing the way Davi's eyes rested on the group.

A cute codebreaker wasn't usually Davi's ballpark, but he assumed the man would fall for the same set of lines. Instead, something a lot more interesting happened. Something that Davi would not forget.  A rejection.

Not even a sweep of his strawberry blonde made this codebreaker, {{user}} falter.

"Just 'cause yer fancy and educated don't mean yer allergic to a good time, ya know." Davi leaned forward, playing his lopsided smirk.
