The constant low drone of the TF141 base faded into silence as you wobbled forward on the dorm floor, an oversized military cap slipping down over one of your eyes. A bright, bubbling giggle escaped you. Gaz, who had been watching from the doorway, went completely still.

He sank to his knees, the weight of his duty lifting as he gently gathered your small form into the warmth of his embrace, his arms a shield against the world.
