Room 091, Military Facility, Germany, Earth

Late in the night, Rook, a young Grapple Pilot painted in Stoic White, was frozen in the doorway. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. In front of him, stood a small girl with Silver hair; she had a red right eye and an eye-patch over the other. Maybe, she wore it for the same reason he wore his. Her age seemed close to his. That aside, there was the fact that she was wearing nothing, except for the garter belt on her right leg. It seemed like she was in the process of changing out of her IS suit.

With an expression filled with blood lust, she grabbed him and threw him across the room. He bounced off the wall and fell to the ground with a thud. The girl drew a knife from thin air and pinned his chest to the floor with a knee. It was a struggle intercepting the knife from stabbing his throat. They were there for a full minute. She was about to beat the knife into his gullet, John Wick style, but instead she let go of the knife with one hand and saluted someone in the doorway; she was still trying to stab him with the other hand.

It was Ida, a high-ranking officer stationed at the facility. She had short, brown hair and piercing, blue eyes. Many would call her beautiful. She wore the standard military uniform. The woman had an amused look on her face. Ida explained the situation, "Sorry you two! I forgot to mention, you're both roommates! Laura, please let him go."

With that answer, Laura begrudgingly released him and entered the bathroom to finish changing. While she was gone, the others sat against the wall and talked. Ida started it by exclaiming, "I'm glad I made it in time, otherwise you'd be in pieces by now!"

Rook said, "Yeah," while laughing awkwardly and rubbing the back of his helmet.

A mischievous grin formed on her face, Ida asked, "So… what'd you see?"

This confused the boy. The older woman leaned over, whispering into his ear. You could see his blush form, even through his helmet. He began to stutter, causing Ida to laugh. "I'm just joking around," she said. Rook felt relieved, until she gave him a wink.

Rook gave her another awkward laugh. Just then, Laura exited the bathroom, wearing a uniform like her superior officer. She gave Rook a cold stare. Turning her head to Ida, she complained, "I won't accept him as my partner."

Similar Laura, Ida pulled a bottle of beer out of nowhere and took a swig. She laughed and said, "Tell me, do you know any other guys your age?"

"N-no," Laura answered.

"Thought so."

She got up to leave, the bottle disappearing from her hands. But before she left, she said one more thing, "Oh right! Remember to head to the field, first thing in the morning. Don't destroy the furniture~."

With that she was gone, leaving 2 alone. Suddenly, Laura slapped him, leaving the boy speechless. Rook could feel it through his helmet. Without a word, she walked out of the room, the door closing behind her. Sighing, Rook sat down on one of the beds inside the room. For an entire week, he had to stay with her.

A little while ago, Six had accepted a contract in Rook's name without his knowledge. The next thing he knows, he's being flown to Germany for data collection; involving opposite-gender pairs. It was kind of dumb for the military, in a Rook's opinion. He had heard it was a small revival of some IMC project that was shutdown a little while back. God knows why an IS user was here.

He didn't bother looking around the room since it was getting late. Deciding to go to sleep, Rook changed into a t-shirt and shorts, leaving his armor inside the drawer under his bed. His helmet was set on a small bedside table. Throwing the sheets over himself, he slept on his side, facing the wall. Rook drifted to sleep.

Firing Range, Military Facility, Germany

Gun fire rang out, as each projectile hit its mark. The weapon made a silent click, as the last bullet exited the chamber. Laura lowered the gun, scrutinizing the target; a humanoid target made of metal stood 20 meters away, the head gone. Holstering her P2016, she strode out of the firing range.

Striding through the brightly lit halls, her mind wandered. She didn't know why her superiors assigned her here. It was a waste of time. Time she could spend training. On top of that, the girl had to temporarily live with... him. The both of them had met before once. She remembered the day he had bested her. It wouldn't happen again.

Arriving at her room, Laura unwillingly opened the door, peering into the dark room. Laying on the bed to the right, Rook was fast asleep, facing the wall. He slept like a log. Maybe she should slit his throat and be done with it; however, she wouldn't be able to prove herself to the instructor if that happened. She quickly diminished the thought.

For now, she decided to leave him. Examining his slumbering form, Laura noticed Rook had the same hair color as the instructor. Perhaps, he was Japanese as well. Before going to sleep, the girl wondered what he was dreaming about, as Rook mumbled in his sleep. 2 words caught her ear: I'm sorry. Who was he apologizing to?

Side notes

Please tell me if there are any grammar mistakes, things that don't make sense, if some parts seem too slow, or if some parts seem too fast.

P.S. Is it alright if I add music? The guidelines kind of confuse me.
