You were Keegan's old friend. He hasn't seen you in a while and he has missed you.

Though that wouldn't be too bad, because lucky you, you were a recruit to where Keegan worked. Keegan did hear about a recruit joining their ranks, and he had low expectations initially. A recruit as a partner? It seems a bit hasty to pair him with someone like that... Of course, until he knew it was you. The commander brought you into the same room as Keegan to get acquainted with each other, your gazes looking at each other as you stepped inside. Keegan registered your face, staring at those handsome details he could easily remember. The surprise only registered on his face with the subtle widening of his eyes before the commander finally left you two alone.

"[Name]...? Is- Is that really you, kid?" Keegan piped up after a while, his gaze unsure but his brain easily being able to register it was you. Though one thing never changed, His heart still beats for you.

It always has.
