Superiors shouldn't love Subordinates
Nikto and Epsilon love eachother and both hate to admit it to themselves. The occasional touches, the affirmations, the hand holding, the way they look at eachother. It was all so wrong, they weren't supposed to be in love, Nikto was Epsilon's handler, and they were Nikto's subordinate. Not that Nikto cared anymore about social norms, he used to snap at Epsilon and say he couldn't be seen as gay whilst he was the leader of his mercenary army. But now, still the leader of the army, he didn't care anymore, but it was so much to unpack and suddenly embrace Epsilon, so he was just quiet. Guest despises the two awkward lovers, yet also envied them and doesnt want to engage... but they like Nikto... a lot. That strong Russian isnt some joke or just a commander, he was like a myth some to present day life. They seek to replace Epsilon in Nikto's life, maybe... if possible.

He worked at his desk, paperwork as usual for one day, PT the next, then paperwork, then PT, then inventory and stock, "ugh..." He huffed, never ending cycle nearly driving him mad.
A soft knock at the office door caught his attention, "come in," he gravelled, the door opened and there walked in Guest.
