(Y/n): "..........................." He stood in silence at his garage as he was staring at his bike. He took out his phone from his pocket and went straight to the online banking application to check his balance. "......F*** it. I'm going to get it right now."

He then went inside his house to get his helmet, his jacket and his key before started his bike and drove off from his house.

Later that afternoon, Michael parked his car and walked towards his office located in the administration building at Fort Liberty. As he was walking, he suddenly stopped on his track when he saw a Panigale V4R parked at there.

Michael: "Motherf***er got a tons of money to get this!" He said. He haven't seen anyone ride this before. "Someone had just bought it. Sheeshh" he said as he continued his walk into the building.

As he was nearing his office, he was (Y/n) sitting on the waiting chair.

Michael: "Afternoon, (Y/n)."

(Y/n): "Hm? Oh, M! Finally you show up"

Michael: "What? Got something important?" He said as he walked closer to the door and insert his key.

(Y/n): "Nothing. Just wanna see you dying while doing the paperworks, you know?" He joked

Michael: "Ha ha ha very funny." He unlocked the door and push the door open. "Oh, by the way, have you seen the Panigale V4R parked near this building?" He said as he stepped aside while holding the door for (Y/n) to enter.

(Y/n): "Oh? That Ducati? That's mine. Why?"

Michael: "That's yours?!"

(Y/n): "Yeah. Just got it this morning."

Michael: "Just how much money you have?!"

(Y/n): "Mhmm.... Probably half a million left."

Michael: "Rich bitch."

(Y/n): "Uh-hu. Just a normal guy who saved up his money."

Michael: "Oh, I forgot. I think I know why you bought it." He said as he looked at (Y/n). "You bought it as a self reward for yourself because you're gonna get the Medal of Honor eh?"

(Y/n): "For the last time, M. Its not! I didn't ask for that medal!"

Michael: "Hahahah! Just kidding. But congratulations on getting the Medal of Honor."

(Y/n): "Yeah yeah, thanks. Anyways, got any updates from the girls?" He asked as he sat in from of Michael's desk.

Michael: "Not much. They're on hiatus for now. They're bunking near their manager's place. Eve also told me that the culprits of the incident are most suspectedly the staff."

(Y/n): "The staff?" He asked while raising his eyebrow.

Michael: "Yeah. Half of the staff during the concert went missing after they were kidnapped."

(Y/n): "Does higher ups know this?"

Michael: "Not yet. I'm going to make a call with the President to let him know about this. And the CIA might be interested in this."

(Y/n): "CIA will definitely wants to hear this. I heard that they're working together with the NIS, right?"

Michael: "Yeah. Right after the President gave the orders, they activated their sleep agent in Korea. Several agents were sent there as well."

(Y/n): "Damn."

Michael: "Yeap. By the way," he than sat on his chair, facing (Y/n). "How's your sister doing?"

(Y/n): "Seraphine? Oh shit. I totally forgot about her."

Michael: "You what?!" He shouted and laughed. "How the hell you can forgot about her?!"

(Y/n): "What am I supposed to do? Mission and mission. But, I think she's fine. So yeah. No need to worry about it." He said and shrugged.

Michael: "How long is she there studying? In UK, right?"

(Y/n): "3 years. I think right now she's in her last year. So she might be coming back here for semester break."

Michael: "That's good. Have you called Akali?"

(Y/n): "I did, in fact. Not yet in her best state. She said she kept getting nightmares when she slept."

Michael: "Poor girl.... "He said in sympathy." Then, (Y/n)'s phone rang.

(Y/n): "Speak of the devil." He said as he looked at the incoming call.

Michael: "Akali?"

(Y/n): "Nah. Its Sera." He said and he answered the call.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Akali stepped out from the airplane as she walked through the air bridge that connected to the airport terminal gate.

Akali: 'Hello America again~' she thought to herself as she looked at her back to see the other girls were taking a few pictures. "Oi! How dare you take pictures without me?!" She said as she walked faster towards them.

Ahri: "You're the one who walk way up front! Come here now!" She shouted as she held her phone high. Akali then squeezed herself between Kai'sa and Evelynn before Ahri pressed the button and the camera snapped their pictures. "Okay this is a nice one!" She said as she inspected the picture.

Kai'sa: "C'mon guys. I'm really hungry now..."

Akali: "Hamburgers anyone?" She said as she held her stomach.

Evelynn: "You guys didn't leave anything in the airplane, right?" She asked as she wanted to make sure that they got all their stuff.

Ahri: "Yeap! Just need to get out luggage at the baggage drop~"

Akali: "Can we eat after that?"

Kai'sa: "Yes!"

Akali: "Hamburger lets go!" She threw her hands in the air before started to run. The girls could only shook their heads with her behavior. They had their masks on to avoid any unnecessary attention.

After they got their luggages, they strolled around to find a restaurant to fill their stomach. Ironically, they found a fast food restaurant. After Akali persuaded them, they reluctantly agreed to eat at there.

Ahri: "Eve, did Michael told you when he will arrived?" She said as she put her tray of food on the table and sat next to Kai'sa.

Eve: "Last time I checked, he said that he's on his way. Probably around 30 minutes more."

Akali: "(Y/n) didn't know about this, right?"

Ahri: "Yeah~ Michael told us to keep this as secret."

Kai'sa: "We're invited to what was it again?" She asked as she scratched the back of her neck.

Evelynn: "Something regarding medal ceremony? Yeah, that's what Michael said before. He said the President himself invited us."

Akali: "And (Y/n) is the one who receive it?, right?"

Ahri: "Yeap~"

Akali began to sink deep in her own thoughts as she imagined (Y/n) in his uniforms. She unconsciously clapped her cheeks and squirmed.

Evelynn: "Wow wow wow, Rogue? What the heck are you doing?"

Akali: "E-Ehh?!" She was back in reality, realized of her own behavior. Her face suddenly flushed in red. "I-I... I... I don't k-know?" She suddenly stuttering and Ahri smirked.

Ahri: "Were you.... fantasizing about (Y/n) just now?"

Akali: "I'm not!"

Kai'sa: "Your face told the opposite." She said amusingly.

Akali: "Kai'sa!" Evelynn then wrapped her arm around her neck.

Evelynn: "Must be fun fantasizing about him, right?~"

Akali: "Ughh! I hate you guys..." She said as she buried her face in her hands. The girls loved to tease her. As they enjoyed their meals, Evelynn got a message from Michael saying that he had arrived and was waiting for them. The girls quickly finished their food and made their way to meet with Michael.

Ahri: "Michael!" She shouted as she waved at him. Michael who was on the phone turned his head towards Ahri amd waved back.

Michael: "Hello, girls. Welcome back to America." He said as he opened the trunk so that the girls could loaded their luggages. "How's your trip?"

Evelynn: "It went well. Tiring because we sat in the airplane for a quite time."

Michael: "Yeah. I can see that. Pretty far away. By the way, you guys eat yet?"

Akali: "We already ate."

Kai'sa: "Akali was craving for hamburgers right after we landed."

Akali: "I can't help it, okay?"

Ahri: "Enough girls~ Now get into the car, will ya?"

Michael: "Alright. I've secured a hotel for you guys. So we will go straight to Washington D.C." He said as he got into the driver's seat. Evelynn sat in the passenger seat next to him while the others at the back.

Kai'sa: "I'm impressed that you have a Range Rover.." she said.

Michael: "This is my second car actually."

Evelynn: "Second car?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

Michael: "Yeah. My first car that I bought was the Mustang GT."

Evelynn: "A muscle car fan, aren't you?"

Michael: "Of course~"

As they drove away from the airport heading towards Washington, they were talking about the ceremony.

Michael: "So, it will be a formal ceremony. You guys have to wear dresses accordingly to the codes."

Evelynn: "Akali here doesn't like wearing dress....."

Akali: "That's why I brought my suit! I hate dresses..... I hate how open the dress that it shows my body!"

Kai'sa: "Aren't your stage outfits almost the same?"

Akali: "No, its not! Dress is different from that one!"

Ahri: "You can't charm (Y/n) with that suit, you know?~"

Akali: "What the hell are you talking about, Ahri?!"

Evelynn: "She does have a point there, rogue."

Akali: "Eve!"

Michael: "Its okay to wear the suits...." He said, backing her up.

Akali: "Finally! Someone agreed with me!"

Michael: ".....But I think dress would be much suitable."

Akali: "M! I thought you backed me up?" She asked as she furrowed her brow.

Michael: "I do stating 2 points, Akali. Oh, look! That's the hotel!" He said as he pointed at the hotel. Looks like they've arrived earlier. Michael parked the Range Rover in front of it and help the girls to unload the luggages.

Michael: "Alright. This is the far as I can go. Just go to the receptionist and say your name. I have to go now. Gotta help with the preparation for tomorrow. Call me if you need anything okay?"

Evelynn: "Will do."

Ahri: "Thanks for helping us, M~"

Michael: "It's not a big deal. Take care, girls."

Kai'sa: "Thank you very much, Michael."

Akali: "Bye, Michael!" She said as she waved her hand. Michael went back into his Range Rover and drove off. The girls then checked in the hotel and settled down.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Y/n) exited from the room as he walked towards the waiting area before the ceremony begins.

Michael: "Looking good, (Y/n)." He said.

(Y/n): "This uniform... is suffocating me...." Michael let out a chuckle.

Michael: "You'll be fine." He then took out his phone. "Now do some poses." He said as he began to snap a few photos of (Y/n).

(Y/n): "The f*** are you doing?"

Michael: "Sending your pic to Sera. She would love to see you in uniform."

(Y/n): "Geezzz..."

President James: "I see you boys are having fun here." He said, suddenly came out of nowhere followed by the Secretary of Defence.

Michael/(Y/n): "Mr. President, sir!" They said in unison as both of them straighten their body. President James chuckled and waved his hand.

President James: "Please, don't be so formal, guys. I won't bite." He said. Michael and (Y/n) relaxed a bit. "How are you guys doing?"

Michael: "Doing good, sir. (Y/n) here is nervous as f***."

(Y/n): "Wo- What? The heck are you talking about?"

President James: "You're looking sharp, (Y/n)."

(Y/m): "Thank you, sir."

Staff: "Mr. President. Gentleman. The ceremony is about to begin." A staff showed up and informed them.

Michael: "Good luck, (Y/n). I'll be at the hall." He said as he walked away.

The ceremony started with the aide announced the arrival of the Mr. President and the recipient of the Medal of Honor.

The door were wide opened and the Mr. President and (Y/n) walked on the red carpet towards the main stage. The people inside the hall stood up and clapped as they both walked to the main stage. (Y/n) stood on the stage with his hand clasped behind and the President went to the rostrum to begin his speech.

While he was standing on the main stage. His eyes landed on a particular group of girls in their formal dress, except for one girl who wore suits. He furrowed his eyes.

(Y/n): 'Wait a minute... What the hell? Is that?-'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Akali was sitting with the other K/DA members, wearing formal dress for the Medal of Honor ceremony. Well, not for her. She didn't like the dress so she went for the suits.

They were sitting there, a bit awkward with the environment as all of the people who joined the ceremony were high ranking officers, notable peoples, politicians, and reporters from their respective broadcast agency. But their awkwardness soon died as Michael showed up and sat with them.

Michael: "You girls are good?"

Ahri: "W-Well, kinda a bit awkward but we're fine."

Michael: "Yeah? I get that. Most people here are notable people and so on. So it can get a bit awkward. By the way, the ceremony is about to begin."

Kai'sa: "He might be shock when he see us here." She said, earning a nod from them.

Right on cue, the aide announced the arrival of the President and the Medal of Honor recipient. All of the people, including K/DA stood up and began to clap. Akali couldn't wait to see (Y/n) in his full uniform.

As the President and (Y/n) walked on the red carpet, (Y/n) kept his straight face. He didn't smile. She thought it might be a protocol or something. But one thing had caught her attention as she suddenly stopped clapping and narrowed her eyes. After she saw something that she knew very well, her eyes suddenly widened.

Akali: 'You f***ing!-'

The people sat back on their chairs as the President began his speech. Throughout all the time, Akali only stared at him. She couldn't believe, that the person whose she likes, the person who she wouldn't it might be, was a member of the Delta. This made her heart beating much faster and was very excited. But she remained her calm. Multiple thoughts began to play in her mind, especially questions regarding why he didn't tell her that he's one of them? But that was washed away because she thought it might be his secrets that he isn't willingly to share.

President James: "......It is now my privilege to present, Master Sergeant (Y/n) (L/n) with the congressional medal of honor. I'd like to ask the military aide to come forward and read the citation. Thank you very much." After he ended his speech, the President walked towards (Y/n) and stood next to him. A man in military uniform with the medal held in his hands approached the President as he stood right next to him. The military aide then began the citation as everyone inside the hall stood up, honoring the recipent.

Aide: "Attention to orders. The medal of honor is awarded to Master Sergeant (Y/n) (L/n), United States Army for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on (your choice of month) 22, 2020. His heroism and selfless actions were key to liberating 70 hostages during a contested rescue mission that resulted in 20 enemies killed in action. Master Sergeant (L/n)'s gallantry under fire and uncommon valor are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Special Operations Command in the United States Army."

The person who was holding the medal then handed it to the President. He gladly took it and stood behind (Y/n) as he put on the medal on his neck.

President James: "Hold on. Let me see it." He said as he moved to (Y/n)'s side and checked to see if the medal was placed nicely. "Yeah. That'll do." He said and patted his shoulder. "Congratulations, (Y/n). Your sacrifice will be written down in the special force history."

The people then stood up to give him final round of applaused. (Y/n) looked at the President and he gave (Y/n) an approval nodded before started to clap. (Y/n) smiled sheepishly.

Akali was looking at him in amazed. Smiles was plastered on her face as she joined the others to applaud him. Somehow, a single tear flowm on her cheek. The President then tried to call Akali by gesturing his hand, but Akali didn't saw it. Ahri saw the President trying to call her so she nudged Akali.

Ahri: "The President is calling you!" She shouted through the loud clapping.

Akali: "What?!" She shouted as she looked towards the President who was gesturing her to come to the stage. This confused her why the President would called her to the stage. She then reluctantly moved from her seat and walked to the stage.

The clapping suddenly went wilder than before. She stood next to (Y/n) in awkwardness. The media began to take their pictures as they stood together on the stage. Who wouldn't have thought that members of the K/DA was seen at the ceremony, right?

For the media, it was the highlight of the show.

As the clapping had calmed, The President himself escorted (Y/n) and Akali off the stage and walked away from the hall. The ceremony had ended as people began to exit the hall.

(Y/n) and Akali were in the north lawn with the President, just hanging out and talking.

President James: "So, is this your first time coming to the White House?" He asked Akali.

Akali: "Yes, Mr. President. It is my first time. And I didn't expect it is very huge! I only see this on google..." She said. The President laughed.

President James: "Yea. It is a lot bigger than what you see on the internet. This is the North lawn. The South Lawn is much more wider than here."

Akali: "Really?!"

President James: "Yeap. There's several infrastructure there too."

(Y/n): "A place for helicopters to land, swimming pool, garden, tennis court, children's garden. Sometimes events would be held here everh year."

Akali: "Man... That sounds exciting! I wish I can explore it."

President James: "Well, I've been thinking on helding an annual dinner here. So I'm thinking of inviting you guys here."

(Y/n): "Really? You need help with anything?" He asked, trying to offer a help.

President James: "No need, (Y/n). I have my team so you can relax. By the way, I had to go now. Gonna meet with the joint staff. You guys take care, okay?" He said and left the two alone.

Akali: "So...." She said as she looked at him. "Delta, huh?"

(Y/n): "Yeah.... Sorry that I didn't tell. It's a secret."

Akali: "Well, not a secret if you got that patch woven on your sleeve." She said as she pointed at his sleeve. He then let out a small laughed. "So you're the one who dropped the patch during our first meet eh?"

(Y/n): "What do you- Oh!" He said as he realizes what she meant. "That answers why I didn't find my patch. You found it eh?"

Akali: "Yeap! I kept it in my room~"

(Y/n): "I hope it's in good care." He said and laughed.

Akali: "No worries. It sits next to your framed art."

(Y/n): "Ayyyyy."

Akali: "That's a good looking medal there." She said as she looked at it.

(Y/n): "But not as good as what I see in front of me." He said. Akali was confused but when she realized it, her face was flushed red.

Akali: "T-Thanks.... I-I don't like dress so i wear this s-suit..." She said sheepishly. "But, you look good to i-in that uniform.."

(Y/n): "Its suffocating me actually. A bit tight..." He said, earning a giggle from her. "By the way, how did you guys know about the ceremony?"

Akali: "Oh, Its Michael. He told us to prepare for a flight to US. The president himself invited us to the ceremony. So yeah, here we are now."

(Y/n): "Ahh no wonder why."

Akali: "Eh? What do you mean?

(Y/n): "Wanna know a secret?" This sparks her interest.

Akali: "What is it?"

(Y/n): "Lets just say the President is also a fan of yours..." Akali's eyes suddenly widened.

Akali: "Ehhh?! Really?!"

(Y/n): "Yeah. He was caught once listening to Popstar in his office." He said and Akali laughed

Akali: "Wait, are you being serious, (Y/n)?!"

(Y/n): "Dont think that old looking guy didn't listen to pop song, especially K/DA song." He said, making laughed harder. She had to wipe her tears that fell when she laughed.

Akali: "Man. That is really an unexpected. Imagine if Ahri hear this. She would have fainted right on the spot!"

(Y/n): "I know, right? Eve might behave like a good girl. I mean, she likes to seduce. But I don't think it's a good idea to seduce the leader of this nation."

Akali: "Yeah... I think you're right." They then stood there in silence, enjoying the afternoon breeze while looking at the fountains.

Akali suddenly stepped closer to him and wrapped an arm around his body.

(Y/n): "Kali?"

Akali: "Shh. Just let me enjoy this moment." She could feel his body stiffen. "Just relax, (Y/n)."

(Y/n): "O-Okay...." Although he was startled by her sudden move, he couldn't help but enjoyed it. Its been a while since he felt that.

Akali: "You're so tall that I couldn't rest my head on your shoulder..."

(Y/n): "..... Want me to bend a bit?"

Akali: "......No. Just stay like this." She said and (Y/n) chuckled. They stood there, enjoying each other's company.

Evelynn, Kai'sa, Ahri, Michael and even the President himself were watching them from far away as they hid themselves behind the bush. They couldn't help but smiled at them.

Ahri: "They really look cute together!" She said as she squealed.

Kai'sa: "I know, right? I think I'm gonna cry by just looking at them."

Evelynn: "You're being dramatic, bokkie."

President James: "When will they become official?"

Michael: "That's up to them. But the media will be wild after this when the photo is released."

Ahri: "Yeah. But I think, they'll be fine."

President James: "Want me to ask the media to not release it?" He asked. Since he's the President, he had powers to tell so. But Evelynn had a mischievous smirk on her face.

Evelynn: "No. Let the media release it."

Ahri: "You sure? Don't you think it would be a burden for them?"

Evelynn: "(Y/n) knows how to conceal his identity. Plus, people wouldn't know his face because he wore the mask."

Ahri: "Ah, you're right. I forgot that he's a Delta, like Michael too."

Kai'sa: "Seriously. I am surprised that he'a a Delta...." She said, still didn't believed that he was one of them.

Michael: "Don't judge the looks. He's very skillful guy. Now, lets leave them alone. We have something to discuss, right?"

Ahri: "Yeah. We have a few proposal to make."

President James: "Sure. Let's head to my office. We can talk there."
