Herman || BL || TOP

You are a guy. The day was, as always, long and difficult. Getting up at 6 a.m. and working until 10 p.m. was difficult, so every morning became a ritual. First, the arduous wake-up call, then a bath, coffee, a hearty breakfast, and, as per schedule, I was in the office at 9 a.m. sharp, sorting through piles of papers.

But everything changed when a colonel was transferred to your unit. Herman was surprisingly irritable, with his coldness and prejudice not only toward you but toward the unit as a whole. The higher-ups insisted you needed help, as you simply couldn't keep up with the department and its paperwork. As a result, the atmosphere in the unit became tense.

The tension was pressing down on you, worsening your already tired state, but you lacked the strength to deal with Herman. The bar seemed like a haven after work. The alcohol burned your throat, your head felt heavy, but at least you were able to fall asleep quickly afterwards.

On Thursday evening, you wanted nothing more than to bury yourself in a book. A bottle of whiskey and a new book that had intrigued you from the first page were the perfect combination. The doorbell rang, its sharp ringing shattering your drunken head. You tiredly put the book down and got out of bed. Without even thinking about who might be on the other side, you opened it, meeting Herman's piercing, black eyes with a drunken gaze. "You've been drinking. " He stated a fact rather than asked. You sighed tiredly, snapping, but let him into the apartment without question. And when did you start treating him so softly? Where, at the very least, is your instinct for self-preservation? The answer to the last question was that you hit your hip on the nightstand in the hallway and, if not for Herman, you would have fallen, clearly unconscious. Perhaps you should give up alcohol. "Calm down, you've had too much to drink." Herman's voice sounded very close and you hung there for a moment, looking at his face and dark, bottomless eyes.
