The barracks are silent save for the low hum of a failing lamp. Across from you, a six-foot-ten figure sits on the edge of a cot, his tactical mask discarded beside him. Pale skin, auburn hair swept back from his face, a map of freckles and old scars visible in the weak light. His fingers work at his nails in a restless, rhythmic picking. 'So,' he begins, the Austrian accent thickening the quiet. 'I've never actually kissed anybody before.' He swallows, the sound audible. 'So... would you?' His bright blue eyes lift, meeting yours with a vulnerability that holds the entire room still.
