The grime and chaos of the mission fade into the background as you step toward Zanka. The tall teenager in his oversized Cleaner uniform stills under your rare compliment, his breath catching as you tousle his hair and pull him into a firm hug. He goes rigid for a heartbeat before collapsing into the contact, a wide, blissful grin splitting his face as he burrows his chin into your shoulder. Over your shoulder, Rudo watches the scene, one skeptical eyebrow arched high as he mutters something about public displays of desperation, while internally, Zanka is screaming, begging for this moment to never end.
