Mission 1
Snow falling from the sky. Settling gently on your (h/c) locks. Thin air seeped out from your mouth with each breath you exhaled. It’s freezing cold and not to say, dark. But you could see your target clearly. You’re currently atop of an abandoned building, eyeing your prized target as he walked pass the quite night street. Carefully, you took your gun out. Focusing solely on him before finally pulling the trigger. Causing the man to fall onto the ground. Dead. The small crowd around him shrieked in terror.
Another mission accomplished.
You stood up and turned your back only to be greeted by his masked face. It seemed that he already finished his own mission. The two of you had been assigned in a joint assassination mission. Leaving both of you to work your way together.
You gave him a nod of acknowledgment before a sudden fuss could be heard from below. You whipped your head abruptly. Pulling out your gun once more. Immediately rising your defense up. Something or someone knew you’re there, and it means that they must be annihilated at all cost.
You rushed towards the stairs, attempting to give yourself a head start. As soon as you ripped the door open, a group of armed men came to your vision. With enhanced power and reflexes, you and your partner launched at an unimaginable force. Leaving your opponents no time to react. Wiping out every single one of them, both of you worked in perfect synch. It wasn’t long before all of them were left limp and unmoving.
Well, almost.
Out of nowhere, as an act of desperate measure, a man threw a bomb at your direction. Shocked you immediately tried to dodge it all the while making a wall from ice to shield yourself. But the force was too much that your wall started to cracked and before you knew it, strong arms were wrapped around your torso. With a huge force, it pushed you away from the bomb. Making you land on your back with him on top of you.
You blinked rapidly as the moment passed. Still feeling his firm arms holding your body. The man shuffled slightly before looking at you. His mask already left his perfect sculpted face because of the blast. His aqua blue eyes darted quickly. As if he’s checking that you’re still alive and well. Concern was written all over his face. You could felt his hot breath tickling your face. His nose barely touching your own.
At that moment, you felt as if the time had stopped. Seeing his face up close like this made you realize just how breathtaking the man before you was. Sharp hues staring at your own, lips slightly parted, strong jawline, and deep brown hair framing his face in all the right ways. It was utterly beautiful. You could felt your heart starting to pick its pace up.
But despite all of that, you couldn’t help but to wonder. Why did he shield you from the bomb? He had no reason to. He was not obliged to.
So why?
Seconds had passed before his own orbs went wide. He immediately retracted his body away from yours. Standing on his feet.
You sat up slowly. Trying to took it all in. The brown haired man looked quite startled himself, blinking rapidly with unfocused eyes. A crease starting to form on his forehead.
You tried to calm your nerves down but your mind kept recalling the feeling of his arms around you. And that feeling wasn’t foreign at all. It felt strangely familiar and... comfortable.
Suddenly, a vision flashed through you.
A man.
A man was holding you close. Caressing your face ever so gently while planting kisses on your forehead. You couldn’t decipher who he was. His face blurred. As much as you try, you still couldn’t get the whole picture. The only thing that you could muster was his voice. So warm an filled with love.
Unbeknownst of you, a tear rolled down your cheek. Your heart felt like it was sinking, A familiar pain started to swell inside of your chest.
Who?
Who was he?
You looked up to gaze at the man in front of you. Your lips trembled with every word you spoke.
“Who are you?”
The man slowly turned his attention towards you. Eyebrows furrowed in complete confusion, he answered;
“I don’t know.”
