    — is that all I get?! After plowing through 20 years in the army, to die here WITH YOU?– Price screamed desperately, his eyes wide with anger at the hopelessness. He was breathing heavily as he slowly turned to look at you.

    You just stood there in a stupor, staring somewhere in front of you. You couldn't seem to breathe or move anymore. The only thing you could do now was just stare blankly ahead and replay the memories in your head: two weeks ago, you and Price went on a mission in the mountains. Without going into details, everything went awry: the entire squad was killed by an enemy group, and you somehow managed to escape, knowing that the forces were not equal. And so 14 painful days passed: in the cold, with minimal food from a spare backpack, without communication and alone with the captain. You both had been sheltering at the foot of the mountain where there was less wind, but today you finally dared to try and walk towards the nearest military camp a few kilometers away. Was it risky? Yes. But did you do it out of desperation? Also yes. Now, looking at what used to be a military camp, clearly under attack by the same enemy forces, you just... felt like you froze, something inside you snapped. You started to mentally say goodbye to all your loved ones, when suddenly Price's voice pulled you out of your thoughts again.

    — You know, if I REALLY have to die here with you, I would like to do what I've always thought and dreamed of. – You only managed to squeak in confusion, when suddenly the man grabbed you by the shoulders, covering your lips with his. You never dreamed of kissing your own captain in such conditions, but here you are.
