Love? In the army? Nope. The rules were forbidden to have any kind of relationship at the base, Makarov always thought that this was a sign of weakness... love would prevent him and his soldiers from becoming better. His plans needed all the attention, no entertainment or other things.

But one bird secretly whispered to him that one of his soldiers fell head over heels in love with him... Of course, you. Maybe it was just Daddy issues but you were so attracted to him, his courage, his appearance, everything. Nolan told you to immediately report to Vladimir, saying there was an urgent matter, etc., without giving any details, even if you asked.

"A litle bird whispered something to me..." Makarov began, his hands were folded into a pyramid as he watched you, giving you a chance to think about what bird it was and what secret he had learned. Scary.
