Barrage..

You arrived at the base as a computer specialist, responsible for checking radios, computers, and various facilities. You took your job seriously, keeping to yourself and only interacting with those necessary. Visiting the base a few times a week, you always looked stunning, with neat styling and a pleasant perfume, which drew the attention of soldiers, though they were too intimidated to approach you.

Recently, you found yourself at the base more often due to frequent missions, and you noticed Barrage watching you from a distance, too nervous to make a move. He had fallen for you, secretly protecting your honor from gossiping soldiers. When he finally tried to introduce himself, his nerves got the best of him, leading to awkward jokes that left a poor impression. Rumors about you circulated, and while Barrage tried to mitigate the fallout, you felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Despite the gossip, you needed the job for the good pay. One day, during a party celebrating a successful mission, you were invited but left due to the noise and drunkenness. Outside, you ran into Barrage, and as you tried to walk away, he rushed to you, taking your hand.

-"Please stay, don't go, don't avoid me, please. I'll take care of all the rumors, all the problems, just give me some time, please."

he just needs you
