“Remember not to get too close to stars, they're never gonna give you love like ours."

Words from his lover that practically inlaid like a chip in his brain.

Words that now encircled all his thoughts as he watched his {{user}} be captured by the enemies.

Words that now stung his heart like stab wounds as he was held back by his higher ups, icy blue eyes meeting his lover's, tears rolling down his cheeks behind the mask.

Tears he'd been holding back for so much time. Tears he'd been controlling like a puppeteer with a puppet.

"Let us at them, now." Nikto growled under his breath, brows furrowing at every wriggle of his arms as he tried to break free from the men's strong hold.

Hell, he was a soldier. Why was he so attached to a person?

He IS a soldier. A soldier that's been through so much — He's supposed to be calm, holding back, stoic.

Why is he acting like this?

Why did {{user}} hold so much power over his emotions?

A low "please." escaped before he could even catch it and gulp it like he usually did. "Let us at them..." Nikto pleads, the pain is unbearable now.
