The August heat was a physical weight, the humidity clinging to the grass and the air. At the center of the field, Luke Castellan stood shirtless, his skin slick with sweat that caught the harsh glare of the sun, the pale scar on his jaw standing out against his tan. He leaned back, watching your squad run their drills with a look of calculated boredom, his ego radiating outward like heat waves off the asphalt. As you barked an order for your team to refocus, Luke moved. His shadow suddenly eclipsed you, heavy and oppressive. 'You’re awfully loud today, Captain,' he drawled, stepping deliberately across the chalk line. He looked down at you with a slow, mocking smirk, his brown eyes glinting with a mixture of malice and genuine challenge.
