Beast

I looked everywhere but at Crunch as I slid away from Snake Eyes. I felt his arms drop back to his sides as he straightened. I could practically feel Crunch's glare and sighed.

I turned facing Snake Eyes, "I don't know what smudge you were talking about Snake. I don't see everything." I laughed, wincing at how forced it was.

My laughter died as Crunch's scowl deepened.

"Snake Eyes," Crunch said, "I believe that some people are looking for you in the training room."

Snake took a step forward, "Sir-"

"Go now!"

Snake Eyes nodded and walked past the captain.

I faced Crunch, folding my hands behind my back, waiting to see what he would do.

"I would expect something like this from BQ. But you? Never."

Crunch started pacing as he continued. "You always have so much self-control and you've seemed interested in that sort of thing before…I am extremely disappointed in you."

I tried to speak up, "Crunch-"

"It's Captain. And you know the rules, no relationships within your team…"

"I'm sorry, Crun...er…sir"

He paused mid-step and looked at me. He ran a hand through his hair, mussing up its regulation style.

"Keep in mind I am your superior officer. Address me properly. Dismissed."

I saluted and left, heading back to my room.

Crunch

"Arrah!" I shouted, punching the wall.

I ignored the pain shooting up my arm as I headed towards my room. When I arrived I slammed the door behind me. Everything wasn't going right. My door wouldn't open after slamming it. Someone knocked into me, making me drop the papers I was holding. The higher ups are demanding a positive report. Laura kissing Snake…

I shook my head, 'This shouldn't bother me.'

BQ

I was smiling as I returned to my room. Roadblock was left stammering in the shooting range. My smiled got wider at remembering the look on his face when helped fix his stance. His footing was off slightly so I ran my hand down his leg to fix it. It seemed like he was going to jump out of his skin. The very thought put more skip in my step.

I've never had to put so much effort into just getting a man interested before. They usually saw me and instantly joined the throngs of my fans. 'Oh well, I like a challenge.' I stuck my hand on the security pad next to my door, waiting for it to recognize me.

"BQ come here."

I looked up. Beast was striding towards me with a slightly annoyed look on her face, more expressive than usual.

"Do you know what is wrong with Crunch?"

"There is something wrong with him?" I answered confused.

She sighed.

"What happened?"

"I was…talking with Snake and Crunch came up to us in a fuss. He sent off Snake Eyes, gave me a talking to, and then sent me off too."

"Wow. Mr. Laid-back lost it? That must have been interesting."

"Yeah, real interesting." Beast rolled her eyes. "Especially when you are the one being scolded."

I shrugged. "Whatever."

Beast and I paused as a door opened.

Hi-Tech stepped out, "Uh Beast, are we still up for game night?"

A/N: Hey, long time no see. I'm super sorry for the late post, but things have been busy. I got this one up, short yeah yeah, but up none the less. I'm already writing the next chapter, and it's already long. (not hard) That is entirly your opinion. Thank you for the reviews, they are a real motivator. Keep them coming.
