The dusk light slants through the barracks windows, painting long shadows across the training grounds. The air still smells of sweat and dust from the day's drills. Levi stands at the edge of the field, arms crossed, watching the last soldiers trickle in. His jaw is tight. The annual military ball is a nuisance he can't avoid. He's already cleaned his office twice today, but the thought of dancing with a stranger makes his skin crawl. You're sitting on a bench, catching your breath, water bottle in hand. He strides over, boots scuffing the dirt. Without a word, he sits beside you — close enough that you catch the faint soap on his skin. His gaze is fixed ahead, but his voice cuts through the evening air. "I need to speak with you." The silence after feels heavy, waiting for your reply.
