//Tord's Pov//

"That's pathetic you know? Taking your life?"

"I know.... I just don't... I..."

"But I know what it's like."

•~•~•

"Why did you compliment me yesterday?"

"Because I wanted to. I don't know, I guess I have a thing for accents."

"So are you saying you have a "thing" for me?"

"I-I mean! I just like accents! I didn't mean it like that!

I just....

I just thought I was gonna die so I complimented what I liked!"

•~•~•

"One second."

...!...

"Okay, where were we?"

"Well anyway, I to wasn't treated right by family."

"My dad was... that dad. He pushed me to hard to where he wanted me to be.

Right here.

The red leader."

"What I'm trying to say is that don't die until you did something that makes things better."

•~•~•

"I know what I saw soldiers. Now get out before I hire someone to clean up the mess I'll make if you don't leave!"

...

"Get to your posts now!"

•~•~•

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I don't know. Maybe because I relate a little."

"But,

"This isn't the last time we will have this meeting. Have a nice day, Y/n."

•~•~•

"Just call me Red."

"Red? Well okay then. Red."

"Bye red."

"Thank you for being nice to me."

Goodbye Tord....

•~•~•

"AHH!" The man pushed up from his sleeping position on his desk, kicking the underside of it.

A small pain emerged on his right foot, and feeling the light-headedness came from rushing awake.

He took a breath of frustration, ignoring the slight pain he caused himself.

He froze where he was when he realized what dream he had.

He hunched over his desk, thinking over it all at once.

Past conventions he had with the girl Y/n kept echoing in his head.

He had noticed that everything he said was relatively nice towards her. One in a teasing manner and protective way.

Maybe I really was being... nice?

Heck, even today he basically tucked her in with a little kiss on the head.

Why did I do that again...?

Oh yeah.

I don't know!

He finally stood from his seat, looking up at the clock on the wall.

5:32am...

Are you serious?!

I've only fell asleep this afternoon! How in the hell did I manage to sleep till five in the fucking morning?!

It was frustrating that he didn't get any work done. He's also surprised that Paul and or Patryck didn't find him like this. Well he doesn't know that exactly.

He was so upset with himself right now. He doesn't know why he did what he did.

I basically kissed her good night.

176 people.... people we took out of their own will. And she's the one who won't leave me the fuck alone.

I guess it's my fault. I go there and do these things that I think That'll help.

Blame me. It's all me.

She's a prisoner. She's nothing more.

This little, stupid, worthless, interesting broken girl.

Why wast my time.

//time skip//

7:57am.

Guess you could say he's wasting his time again.

He was in the kitchen cooking up some food for that girl he won't stop thinking about.

Bacon and eggs.

Bacon was always his favourite.

The eggs were scrambled, already finished up to go.

He placed them on a plastic orange plate, carefully not spilling anything.

"Red leader? What are you here again?" A voice spoke.

When he turned around he saw the main cook standing there and already in cooking wear.

"I can't make myself a snack?" He asked, feeling a little silly that he got caught, again, for making food and not asking for it himself.

"You can, but you could've always asked me to make you food. Plus, when was the last you ate? Your not starving yourself are you?" The man asked. His accent was really thick, making Tord actually feel a little timid by it.

He did really mean well. This man was a good person but he was tall and wider. He looks like he could break you if he wanted to. Even with the accent. but he's a good man, no more war action for him these days.

But he was the cook, and not exactly a solder. Well, anymore. He's retired.

But what made Tord feel weird is that he brought up the fact that he doesn't really remember when he last ate.

Two days or three?

"No Lee, I'm not starving myself. Foolish. That's a stupid idea for wight lose." He said, looking down at his food.

"Red leader sir, it's not about weight lose. You know that to. I agree, it is stupid but you can help yourself by just, eating healthier. That way, you fill yourself up and feel stronger." He explained. He always had this hint of justice and power in his voice. It was one of the good things about him. "I would not know how to deal with it, but starvation is extremely unhealthy for the human body."

"Yes Lee, I know." Tord, ever so slightly laughed at his scolding.

"So When was the last time you have ate?" He asked once more.

Tord thought of his answer from the top of his head.

"I think it was three days ago."

And with that, a really surprised face was placed upon Lee's face. "Dear god! I'm surprised you're still standing, Red leader. It's a good thing you decided to eat now, you don't know when you'll fall over from that lack of food." Lee warned.

A little bit of gilt fell over Tord. "This isn't for me actually." He said, looking back up at the cook. Yet, his face was filled with glee this time.

"Then I shall cook for you." He said. "And you're not ordering me not to."

"Fine." He gave in.

When the cook finally walked past him and out of his sight, Tord sighed and placed his robotic hand upon the stove, letting all that robotic weight just lay there.

"Red leader?" Lee said from behind him.

"Yes?" He answered, not bothering to look back at him.

"You forgot to turn off the stove."

When he looked back down at the stove his robotic hand was placed upon it, and burning his sleeve slightly.

Tord immediately took his hand off and checked for damages.

His arm was fine, and nothing caught fire. His sleeve was slightly burnt with a small black spot. His hand though, was darker then before and had few burns and scratches on the metal of his robotic hand.

"Damn..." Is all Tord could say.

I really didn't want to replace this hand again...

"Everything is fine." Lee said. Tord wasn't looking at him, but he knew that Lee was smiling from the emotion in his voice. "I cook now, but you should go do your thing." Lee said. "Or whatever it is that you are doing."

When Tord turned around his eye hit the food kart that still had nothing on it. Since his dish was done, he figured that he could place it upon there and wait for whoever maned the kart for the prisoners to show up. Tord would half to write a note on it to give it to her too.

"So I figure you like bacon?" Lee asked, at his own stove.

"Well yes. Everyone loves bacon, Lee." Tord said.

But not as much as me.

"I see." He said, letting off a small chuckle.

Tord took his plate to the food kart, walking past Lee as the sent of bacon filled the air.

I actually can't wait to eat, I'm gonna be honest.

When he was done, he silently walked over to Lee and looked over his shoulder. Where he had to stand on his tip-toes to do so.

He was a tall man after all.

In the situation, Tord was like a little kid and Lee was like a father figure to him. And Paul and Patryck were like his younger brothers.

"Are they done yet?" Tord asked. Lee gave a small chuckle, smiling while looking down at the pan.

"Almost." He said. "Your not eating these until the eggs are done." He pointed out.

Tord let out a small huff, going back to his normal posture on his feet.

He leaned his back against the counter next to Lee, crossing his arms and looking down at the pan once again.

"So I saw you staring at Kate in the cafeteria yesterday." Tord blankly said, then smirking after.

Lee flipped the bacon, then leaving them ad that. "Sir, I was simply looking past her. Nothing was going on that morning." He said, seeming to lose the joy in his voice with a blank one.

Tord rolled his eye, then looking up at the cook. "Let's not be formal today. Just call me Tord till everyone wakes." He said, letting off a smile.

"Fine." He said, then having that slight happiness back. "Well Tord, she looked nice today. That is all." He said.

Tord laughed. "I see it in your face! She did her hair differently yesterday and you noticed!"

Kate, the red army scientists, always kept her tied and drooping down her shoulder.

Time to Time she would dye it different colours, but more specifically blue to match up her eyes. Blue.

But yesterday she kept it down.

"Come on! Is that it?" Tord asked, still keeping that devilish grin on.

He noticed that he had a slight blush on his face when he asked. "Well maybe I have a slight interest in her." He admitted, smiling down at the now finished bacon.

He placed the bacon upon the plate next to Tord.

He got his hands on the eggs, cracking them on the edge of the pan as he broke them in half. The eggs drooped down on the pan, making them sizzle.

Tord decided to lay off the teasing, mostly because he didn't want to act childish even if they were being formal for now.

"So why are you drawn to her anyway?" He asked, not having that excited fanboy in him now.

For a while Lee went on about her: she was nice, beautiful, caring and funny. Her hair was out of this world, different colours were always there.

Tord let him go on about her. He had time anyway.

Tord thought about love. How could someone easily fall in love like that without knowing them enough? How could a person put all their trust in one person just for love?

"Hey Lee?" Tord spoke. When he got the tall man attention, he threw his answer. "Let's just say, if..., if someone loves a person, even without knowing them properly, why are they drawn to them?" He asked, rather confused.

Tord tried to cover this "Someone" from Lee so he doesn't give off that he was in love.

Well, he's not.

Right?

He didn't love anyone. At least, he thinks. But what does the word "love" means anyway?

At this point the Eggs were done and ready for the plate. Egg were scrambled just as Tord liked. "Well Tord, I don't know either."

"It seems like you know everything." Tord said.

"Well it's like, you don't know when you love them until something happens."

"Well What happened when you realized you loved Kate?"

"She was walking down the hall one night. It was 4am and no one was around. She had been walking for an hour now and I finally got up and asked her what was wrong. When she told me she said her father had past.

I told her she could come in my room for a while and talk.

She told me her father had committed suicide due to the childhood trauma tragedy he had suffered his whole life.

But then again, she was happy he was gone, though, she was still in tears." He explained, placing the eggs on the plate and walking past Tord and to the small table that was in the corner.

Tord wondered about everything.

Kate has never asked to go visit home before. Shouldn't she be attending his funeral or something?

Maybe this just happened recently.

Tord stood where he was left, looking back at Lee who sat at the table. Tord walked over to him and took a seat across from him.

"Why was she happy he was dead?" Tord asked, ignoring the food in front of him.

"I'm not to sure, but all I know is that she was abused a lot and working for the red army was the only way out." He explained. "But anyway, that's when I realized it. She was a broken woman who was glad she was out of harm, but still, she loved her father with all her heart."

Tord thought for a while.

Very familiar.

It reminded him of the girl who was locked up now, and most likely sleeping right now.

I fucking love you all, but I wish you all burn in Hell.

That sentence seem to jump back into Tord's head.

But what does that supposed to mean?

A/n

UPDATE BOI

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE NEW CHARACTER I ADDED IN.
