1. Frank's P.O.V

It was late at night, my team had just completed a very hard day of training. It was almost time for the annual tests. They require a lot of practice before hand, usually we allow them a few days off before and after

I was packing up some documents, it was quite boring and time consuming work. First we label and then we order the deck of documents, then we have to pile them into a cabinet, so we're able to refer to them when we need them. But most of the time I have to proof read them

I sighed

I heard the elevator doors open, and saw no other than Stella herself walk out from them, as beautiful as ever. He hair was tired in her usual bun, her lipstick was just calling for me to wipe it off with my mouth- Stop there Frank

"What's been keeping you so long?" She joked, coming over to the desk to help me with this surprisingly large stack of ordered documents

"You're aware of how tedious this work can be right? Oh wait… No, you don't" I replied sassily, all I got in return was a laugh in my face

It remained quiet for a while, both of us just caught up in the task at hand, continuing to clear off the pile

"How's the home life treating you?" I asked, casually to break the silence. "Anything new up in Stella's world"

"No… nothing new, but I've decided I want to move out again, a fresh start, I'm bored of nothing happening in my life. For instance, we're in the late twenties early thirties stage in our life, and just because of our chosen profession, we can't make any risks, always the chance of permanent exposure to the enemies. And I'm sick of it, I should be married right now… I mean I am, but it's to the job and I want kids" She choked out a laugh. "Anything new with you?"

"I- No. There isn't anything new with me. But I know where you are coming from, I want to be able to get married, I want to raise a family, I even want my own to pets, a bird – which is going to be a parakeet, and a dog. I was thinking maybe a German shepherd, or a border collie. This job pains me sometimes. But, it was what we signed up for and we have only ourselves to blame".

The pile was almost finished, thank goodness for that. But I was also disappointed, this meant that Stella would be leaving soon, I probably wouldn't be able to converse with her like this for a while, which is something we both need

I reached out to grab another pile of papers, except my hand brushed someone else, we both raised our heads until we met one another's gaze. Time stood still… I leaned my head towards hers resting it on her forehead. I looked at her lips, they were beautiful and so was she, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself

I lowered my lips and pressed them to hers. It was soft and slow and gentle. I pulled away eager for breath. My breathing was heavy, so I cracked a grin in her direction, wanting to go back in for more

"Frank" She breathed

"Stella" I replied

"You know we can't do this" She looked as hurt as I felt

"Do what?"

"This breaches so many of our rules Frank, you know we can't"

"I know, we can't forget the rules"

Then, she walked to the elevator, and left
