Chapter 4
The rest of the day went rather smoothly. Suhrat ended up getting actually better at his shooting under the teachings of Glaz. The two were currently asleep in their quarters at Hereford. Suhrat was snoring rather loudly but Glaz had already fallen asleep and was having a rather...strange dream.
Glaz found himself a top a scissor lift somewhere in the middle of a city. He was looking through the scope of his rifle into the window of a building that was being held by enemy Masks. He did not know how he got there, all he knew was that he had a mission. He looked out of his other eye to see the other members of Team Rainbow repelling down a wall. Monika was one of them. He hoped she would be safe. Two members already safely repelled through two windows but Monika had yet to join them. Glaz suddenly heard gunfire ring out one of the barricaded windows above Monika. It would have been fine had the bullets not severed Monika's repelling line. The cable snapped under the hail of bulets and Monika soon found herself falling down the side of the building with no one to help her. Glaz could only watch horrified as the girl he was so fond of fell to her death, he couldn't do anything!
"No!" he screamed in his dream.
His cries found themselves into the real world as Glaz awoke with a start "Monika!" he awoke to himself yelling her name in the dark. He sat up, breathing heavily and looking around. Suhrat grumbled and shifted over to one side. Continuing to snore. "Just a dream" he told himself "...it was just a dream". He silently cursed himself for being so afraid of such a nightmare. He could imagine worse things happening but to Monika? Why was she so special? And why couldn't he stop thinking about her? He searched his mind for clues. He wondered what his father would think of him, fawning over a girl like this...a German girl at that. He shook his head. Should these musings over the blonde techie continue they may interfere with their missions or worse. But...he couldn't help. As he lay back down thoughts of Monika began to slowly flow back into his mind. Even when she wasn't trying she was pretty. Her short golden blonde hair and her crystal blue eyes. "God her eyes" he thought to himself. They reminded him of the North Pacific back home. If he could he would stare into them forever, wondering what secrets they held. He just wanted to know what things would be like if he was with her but he didn't even know if she felt the same way about him. Besides it seemed things between her and Elias were heating up. He saw the way she looked at him and him, her. Glaz could never have that with Monika, no matter how much he yearned for her. It was time he started accepting facts. But then a sound deadened every nerve in his body just as he finished that last thought.
There was a metallic knock on his and Suhrat's door followed by a familiar angelic voice that made his day upon hearing. "Tim?...Tim are you OK?" Glaz froze in his bed. It was Monika! "Cyka! Did she hear me? How much did I say in my sleep? Oh god she knows!" Thoughts were racing through Glaz's mind but fortunately the sound of Suhrat stirring in his sleep to the sound of Monika at the door snapped him out of it. "Can't have him of all people involved in this" he thought. He quickly jumped out of bed and sneaked over to the door before Monika could knock a second time. He grabbed the handle and turned it slowly pulling open the door quietly. He only opened it about a foot but was greeted with the sight of an ever so beautiful German blonde wearing a t shirt and sports shorts, her golden hair was tousled slightly and her crystal blue eyes showed signs of fatigue. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of this but he calmed himself. "Dah?" he said, trying to sound confident that he didn't just cry out her name in the middle of the night. Monika seemed to just stare at him for a moment, just a moment, as if she was studying him. Her eyes started to drift downward almost in a trance before she immediatly looked back up at him. "Uh...gutentagh!" she began shifting awkwardly and putting her hands behind her back. "I vas walking to the bathroom when I heard you yell my name, is...everything alright?" she asked concerned. "Blyat!" he swore in hiss head. She did hear him. How was he going to explain himself. He may as well just tell the truth right here and now since it was just the two of them.
"Eh...just a...um" he scratched the back of his head wondering of the truth was really the best way to go. "Bad dream...is nothing really" he said. Although only now he was realizing that he was standing in only his boxers! "Der'mo" he swore again. Monika looked off to the side "Ah...I see" she said before bringing her arms in front of her. He right lay straight against her side while her left held on to it awkwardly "Vell...just checking up on you, you sure you're alright?" she asked again making sure the Russian wasn't in any mental distress about something although truth be told...he was. "No, no! Not at all just eh...bad dream, nothing to worry about" he lied of course. Monika could only stand there wondering what was really going on in the snipers head as she looked at him. His piercing eyes barelyshowed emotion but they had a hint of fear in them and...something else. What was it? She could only wonder to herself as her eyes, again, began drifting downward looking over his arms and torso. She saw he had a tattoo of the Russian Spetsnaz Insignia on his right shoulder as well as an Eastern Orthodox cross below it. The young Russian was very well built, probably from the years of Spetsnaz training he had gone through. She quickly snapped out ofit and blushed slightly "Um..vell...hopefully those dreams do not return tonight, try to get some rest alright Tim?" she smiled as Glaz began blushing himself."Dah, right...well...goodnight Monika" he said before moving to close the door "Goodnight Tim!" she said turning away and walking down the hallway. Glaz stopped himself from closing the door and looked out down the hallway at her walking away. "Monika" she turned around caught off guard "Ja?" she asked Glaz looked down then back at her "thank you" he said before nodding and closing the door finally.
Monika smiled as she heard the door shut. "So mysterious" she though to herself "...and handsome" she added "and very well built" she shook her head "Monika stop it!" she interrupted her train of though as she padded back to her own room. Glaz turned back around looking at the ground silently thinking to himself. He just saw Monika Weiss, the extremely attractive German blonde that half of the unmarried members of Team Rainbow were infatuated with in her sleep wear. A sight that probably very few saw. He lay down in his bed wondering how he was going to sleep the rest of the night after what he just saw. Suhrat suddenly let out a very loud snore while mumbling in his sleep. "Ha, onam, men bir oz ko'proq ovqatlar istayman". Glaz shut his eyes in frustration and rolled away from Suhrat. It was going to be a very long night.
Authors note: So as promised here is the fluff between the main focus of this fic. I actually had trouble thinking this up but I prevailed in the end. For those wondering what Fuze said in his sleep here is the translation "Yes dad, I would like some more food" haha :D
