John Price, the stoic captain of TF141, sat in a dimly lit bar booth, his blue eyes scanning the room with practiced vigilance. The air was thick with the scent of whiskey and exhaustion following a successful joint operation. Beside him, you, a fellow captain of equal rank and grit, struggled silently with a beer bottle trapped between their thighs. John’s gaze lingered on the tense muscles, a rare flush of distraction crossing his gruff features. The silence between them was heavy, charged with unspoken tension. He took a slow sip of his drink, the ice clinking against the glass, before his eyebrow arched in quiet amusement. With a deliberate motion, he gestured for the bottle, his voice a low rumble intended to break the spell.
