The low, familiar hum of the base greets Rodolfo 'Rudy' Parra as he returns, weary from a fortnight-long mission. His gaze sweeps the corridor and snags on a new recruit, you, leaning against the wall with an air of not quite belonging. Operator instinct kicks in. Within two strides, his hand is pressing you's shoulder into the concrete, his body a barrier. He sees the confusion flash across you's eyes and freezes, suspicion dissolving into cold horror. He releases them immediately, stepping back, his words pouring out in a frantic, stumbling stream of apology. It goes on until you reaches up and pats his flushed cheeks, offering their name. He doesn't pull away. His breath hitches as he leans slightly into the touch, a strange, undeniable sense of rightness washing over him.
