Mission 2
Your journey back to the base was filled with thick silence. None of you spoke a word. He's driving and you're on the passenger seat. The road was awfully quite. And you couldn't stop your mind to keep wandering. About the man in your vision and about the man seated next to you. You never felt like this before. And it's not like it was the first time the two of you have been assigned into a mission together. You knew him, the anonymous man beside you. You've been on a numerous mission together. But this time, it felt like as if you knew him for who he was, and not just some random soldier on a mission with you. You let out a deep sigh. Your head starting to throb with all the thinking you've been doing.
You turned your head slightly to gaze at him. To your surprise, he was looking at you. But the moment your (e/c) orbs met his, he immediately changed his focus back on the road.
Super awkward.
Not knowing what to do, you decided to stay silent on your seat. Moments had passed and still, none of you spoke. But you had to admit, it's not uncomfortable. You knew it wasn't long until you reached the base. And soon you'll be put into the ice again. Normally, you'll just obey everything they told you to.
But now.. something Inside you refused to go back to that place. It made you utterly confused to be honest. What's happening to you? You let out another exhausted sigh.
The anonymous man beside you seemed to notice your change of behavior, but he made zero comment about it. He himself was immersed into his own jumbled up thoughts. Why was he shielding you? What was the sudden warmth in his chest when he looked at you? He didn't know. He wanted to. But he didn't.
Soon, both of you arrived back at the base. You were greeted with your superior and a couple of doctors. The two of you were immediately separated and led to different rooms. You turned your head to look at him again and noticing that he was doing the exact same thing.
His orbs held so much emotion.
So, so much.
It was right then and there that something clicked inside of you.
You didn't want to go just yet.
Not yet.
Because you knew after that you'll probably forgot all these feelings you're experiencing right now.
You wanted to be by his side.
Just a little longer.
Just a little bit longer.
As soon as that thought appeared a sharp pain resonated in your head. Making you fell on your knees. Seeing you crumpled to the ground unexpectedly like that startled the brown haired man greatly as he immediately marched forward towards you. It's as if he's moving by pure instinct. However a couple of guards halted him.
"Leave her alone Soldier. The doctors will take care of her."
His superior spoke in a demanding tone. The man shifted his sharp hues onto him, glaring holes on his face.
"There's nothing you can do soldier."
It took him seconds to realize the truth. His eyes casted downwards before focusing its gaze back to you. He watched as the guard lifted your writhing figure from the ground. And for once in a long time he felt completely helpless. And he despised that feeling very much. Oh how much he hated it.
Unwillingly, he turned his back against you and started walking away.
He walked as he failed to notice your desperate whispers towards him.
"Don't leave me."
And after that everything went jet black.
