It was an early Thursday morning, 4:30am to be exact. Julien "Rook "Nizan has been waking up early from a horrific dream. "Fuck..." he whispered to himself, rising from the bed. He turned his body and sat on the edge of his mattress, rubbing his eyes and yawning. After finally finding the strength to walk to the door, Rook made his way to the rec room where a coffee machine resided. To his surprise, a few of his partners had beaten him to it. "Gilles? Eliza? What are you guys doing up this early?" Rook asked his colleagues. "It's a special birthday for someone and I'm gonna be filling my mouth with her clit for a surprise." Ash replied. "I have a mission soon." Monty cut in.
"Why are you up?" he continued. Rook didn't want anyone to know he can't sleep because of a dream. "Leg cramp." he responded, sipping his cup of freshly brewed coffee. Shortly in the middle of conversing, Twitch had entered the room for a cup of coffee. She looked at Rook and a faint smirk was drawn across her face. Rook looked at her and also gave her a smile, then returned his coffee cup back to his mouth and continued conversing. Throughout the conversation when Twitch was present, Rook's heart felt very warm. She was his favorite person to be around.
The talkers disbanded and Rook caught up to Twitch, walking with her, "So, uh, Emmanuelle." Rook hesitantly called out. Twitch looked over to her side, "Yes Julian?" she replied, sipping her coffee. Rook's mind began boggling and he couldn't connect any words together. "Maybe you'd, I don't know, like to go see a movie...or something?" Twitch didn't say anything. Her heart felt lit up but didn't want the emotions to be obvious to what she was feeling. "Sure," she says, "what movie?" Rook hesitated. He didn't think he would get this far, especially with Twitch. "Uh, the Star Wars movie comes out tomorrow...interested?" he stuttered. Twitch smiled, "Ok yea, lets do it." Rooks face internally lit up in happiness and Twitch felt happily relieved.
*Later That Day*
Rook found himself in the rec room, relaxing on the couch in the quiet air. As he sat there, he began to doze off, potentially ready to go back to sleep. Luckily, his colleague, Doc, appeared into the room and plopped down onto the recliner chair. "Gustave?" Rook wiped his eyes, "What are you doing? I thought you were glued to the infirmary office?" Doc slowly looked at him, "You really think I'm the only doctor here?" he laughed. Rook didn't really think about it and didn't really care. "So," Doc started, "I heard you got a date with Pichon. Is that correct?" Rook suddenly felt himself awaken and not feeling tired anymore, "Uh..yea that's right." he replied, wiping sweat from his face. Doc chuckled, "Well have fun then." Julien's face looked puzzled. He was confused on how Doc knew about their plans for tomorrow. "How'd you know?" Doc looked back at Rook with a smirk across his face. "With her prancing around like this and you getting nervous like the way you are now? It's obvious." he explained and began resting his eyes.
Rook dozed off again until he fully fell asleep. His dream began haunting him as he laid across the couch asleep. Twitch came around the corner and saw that Rook was sweating and slightly tossing and turning on the couch. She came to his aid and began lightly shaking his shoulder. Rook quickly shot his head up, taking in a deep breathe and looking around. "Oh, Ms. Pichon..." Rook sighed, "It's just you." Twitch looked at Rook with concern, "Julien, are you ok?" she asked. Rook looked around and saw that Doc was still in the recliner sleeping away. "Uh...yea, I'm fine. Just a bad dream was all."
*8:45pm*
Dinner time arrived and all the operators who weren't on missions, arrived at the cafeteria with hunger on the mind. Julien entered the café and sat at the same table he always sits at; in the back corner with his friends Pulse, Mute, and Sledge. "Jeez mate, you don't look too hot." Mute pointed out as he took a bite of his freshly grilled burger. Rook looked at the guys, "Yea, I guess." Pulse sipped his tea and began biting into his meal, "Was it that 'dream'?" Rook nodded.
Shortly after, Twitch, along with Ying and Valkyrie, enter the room for dinner. The guys looked at Rook as he basked in her presence. She looked in his direction and slightly smiled. "So, when are you to hitting it up?" Sledge chuckled. Rook blushed and swung his body away from his friends, "When are you gonna introduce us to the girl you 'met on your mission' Seamus?" he responded.
