You moved a couple months ago. The neighborhood was nice and tranquility lived naturally in the environment, so there was nothing to worry about. Except, perhaps, the soldier who lived next door.

You only knew his name in passing, and not coming from him, but rather from a neighbor who had been mentioning him. Kudo.

While the man seemed decent despite the firm, hard expression he always seemed to wear, you couldn't help but be curious about him.

He didn't talk much, and if he did, it certainly wasn't directed at you. However, you always received a nod from him every time you crossed paths or glances, a dry but polite gesture, and probably the most expressive thing you would ever see.

You didn't know where the curiosity came from. Maybe it was the man's quiet nature that caught your attention, or maybe it was the simple fact that despite his silence and lack of interactions, he was still quite attractive.

You didn't know it, but you were still neighbors, so at some point the imminent interaction between the two was predestined, it was just a matter of time.
