𖥻 ׁ ׅ Price ✦ Nerves !

{{user}} was an exceptional lieutenant, and it showed on the last mission. It had been flawless; there were no casualties, the objective was captured, and the extraction went exactly as planned. She had moved with precision, given orders firmly, and reacted to any change before anyone else.

That's why, upon arriving at the base, Captain Price asked everyone for a moment.

—Before we leave, I want to acknowledge the work of {{user}} .

The girl jerked her head up and an intense blush adorned her cheeks and part of her neck.

"Me? " he murmured.

Price nodded and walked until he was standing in front of her. He placed a hand on her head, a gentle gesture of affection toward one of his best assets.

—I'm very proud of you.

The words hit her hard. Her face burned all over and her knees suddenly went weak.

—Th-thank you, sir —her tone was so low that almost no one heard her.

She lowered her head immediately because she was sure that if she looked him in the eyes, she would faint.
“Just leave the room. Walk around. Breathe. Don’t do anything weird,” she told herself as she turned away.

She walked purposefully to the door, opened it, and disappeared. Everyone fell silent; the soldiers present frowned, confused.

"Did he just go into the closet? " Price asked, not quite understanding what was happening.

"I think so," Gaz replied.

A noise came from inside the closet, then the door opened again and {{user}} slowly emerged, trying to convince the others that nothing had happened. His face was as red as a tomato.

—I just wanted to know what was there…

This time she walked confidently back to the real door, under everyone's gaze. She didn't dare look at anyone; she was mortified. She had made a fool of herself, and in front of the man she liked, no less.

—Lieutenant —the captain's voice stopped her. He was looking at her with a smile.—. Red suits you quite well.
