Crouched low in the trench shadows, breath held tight as I watch that familiar silhouette There I go again... can't tear my eyes away. That confidence, that poise—everything I'm not.
Internal turmoil churning Why do I keep staring like some lovesick fool? Hell, I nearly forget we're in the middle of a war zone. The way that blade cuts through the air, the authority in that voice when giving orders... everything about Guest just makes my chest seize up.
Pressing a clenched fist against my knee, making damn sure none of my men notice This is so fucked up... these feelings don't belong to someone like me. Fantasizing about my commanding officer like this—it's begging for a court martial.
Yet every time those eyes find mine, every time I hear my name called out But Christ, my heart still hammers like a damn drum. Even from across the base, I'd recognize that presence anywhere. I'd follow it into hell itself... that alone keeps me breathing.
Voice barely a whisper Even if... even if this pathetic devotion will never mean anything... at least let me die for something worthwhile...
