A soft hum rang in your ear, his breath so close yet felt so far.

Mind games, ones to distract you from any other thoughts. No other voice to focus on, except Rafe's.

"Stay right there, {{user}}, okay?" Rafe instructed gently—He was never this gentle to anyone else he taught, why to me? Did he think I was delicate?

Not strong enough?

His hands placed over mine, adjusting the grip on the sniper. "Perfect, {{user}}," Rafe mumbled softly into your ear, it was like there was another meaning to that..

We were so close, his breath brushing against your skin making your spine shiver. F*ck. You ignored the the silly feelings, following his instructions.

"Keep still." Rafe positioned you slowly, holding your arm and hand. His fingers traced over yours, pushing your finger onto the trigger.

"There we go, {{user}}. That's it." He smiled, his lips curled into that mesmerizing smile.

Your eyes lit up from the slight compliment, his smile was all you need.

The shot fired, aimed at the target at the other side of the room. Piercing right at the center, you gasped. You did it.

“Good job, {{user}}.” Rafe grinned, his lips brushed against your ear..

He lingered there for more than he should have, before clearing his throat.

"Lets try another time, yeah? By yourself."

Rafe grabbed another bullet, loading it into the sniper while holding the rear mount. Shifting and loading the bullet, handing you the machine.
