How about we have a challenge then?
I ask him playfully.
Who? Us?
He asks me confused
You and Ethan, there's an annual training session at the mansion every five months. The next one is in two weeks.
He looks at me,
Sure. We can do that
He smiles,
Just make sure you're having a good day. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.
I tell him a little concerned. He nods,
PHOENIX'S POV
We soon arrive at the location of our campsite and we get out the gear,
Should I help you set up the tent?
He asks me.
No it's ok I can do it
I reply back, this was the easiest part of our routine back at base. Any skilled soldier could set it up in five minutes.
I insist. I'll help you.
He said and I thought to myself (sure why not. How bad could this be...) very hard cause we were still standing there after half an hour.
I'm sure that's not where the pole is supposed to go....are you sure it's not broken??
He says while fumbling with the items, while I stand to the side trying not to laugh.
How about I take over?
I ask him trying to contain my giggles at his attempts, it was quite adorable how a mafia boss was struggling with a two person tent. He nods and gives me the poles and cloth, I undo what he did to the tent and start over, the same technique I was taught 8 years ago and in under five minutes, the tent was up and I turn around to see a dumbfounded look on Sebastian's face,
I swear this thing is rigged...
He said while flopping down on a lawn chair. I take a seat besides him,
It's ok. You can learn.
I say as I let out a little chuckle.
My princess is talented.
He says with a smile. I look at him all embarrassed,
How about we stick to another nick name?
I ask him still embarrassed,
Then what about babe?
He says while leaning in to kiss me,
Do whatever you want.
I tell him and he steals a kiss and goes back to his own seat after chuckling a bit
Babe it is then.
He said while giving me a playful grin which made me laugh, he looks at me with his brown eyes,
You look beautiful when you smile you know...
He leans in to kiss me,
Mnn~
I push him away,
Absolutely not. You've already left way too many marks. I'm not risking any more.
He looks at me and chuckles,
Can't you make an exception?
He asks his face all pouty
No.
I tell him blankly, he sighs and settles back in his chair
Are you mad at me?
I ask him,
I can never be mad at you princess,
He says with a soft smile, (I wonder if that's gonna be true if he finds out about who I really am...)
Actually...this is the most peaceful I've been in ages.
He says while looking at me fondly l,
I wish this could last forever,
He adds, (I wish too...here Wilson can't have anyone spy on me...)
Should we get dinner started?
I ask him and he nods
Yeah sure. Let's eat
He says and I start the fire and cook a meal, a couple minutes later were sitting with our freshly made sandwiches,
This tastes good.
He comments,
Thanks, it reminds me of a certain meal we had at the base,
I chuckle a little,
What do you mean?
He asks me,
A bird stole my sandwich. And then I came back and stole my friend's sandwich too.we had to sleep hungry.
Ichuckle, he laughs hearing me story.
It's ok you can have it now
He says while laughing,
So tell me what the military was like?
He asks me with curiosity,
Brutal...it's like being micro managed 24/7. They wanted us y be ready at all times...we couldn't let our guard down even for just a minute...some days we would train for 13 hours without break...
He takes a deep breath,
Tha sounds brutal,
He says,
It was but I kind of miss those days...
