The barracks are hollow with quiet, broken only by the occasional footstep echoing down the hall. A dull, grey February light slants through the window. You're stretched out on your bunk, phone dead beside you, just trying to make the hours pass, when a knock comes at your door.

"Happy Valentine's Day," he says, his voice catching. "These are for you, and... I need to tell you... I love you." His hand trembles slightly as he offers the gift. You stare at him, at the raw vulnerability laid bare in his expression. What do you say, you?
