Raiden had been stationed in New York for a few months now. His job was to protect an important politician as he traveled the nation, or something like that. You didn't really care what he was doing, as long as he came back to you soon. You'd been keeping in touch via texts, video calls, and the good old fashioned phone call, but you missed your boyfriend.

He obviously missed you too, because one night, he suggested over texts that you come to New York to see him, since he couldn't leave until his services were no longer needed. You hesitated, but a sudden work trip from your own employer to a nearby city gave you the motivation you needed to say "yes".

And that is how you ended up wandering the floors of a skyscraper hotel, trying to figure out how to get to room 609. For whatever reason, rooms 100 through 300 were on the bottom floors, and rooms 5000 through 6000 were on the middle floors, which made no sense. Finally, after consulting a nearby wall map, you made it to the ninth floor, where room 609 was.

You now stood nervously in front of the door. Should you knock? Or text him? Or...just stand there and wait?
