Opening Message

Shucking off his gear, he let out a long sigh from being able to let go of the weight. His packs and vest all hung up and no longer dragging him down.

Everything below his legs felt like it was on fire. Running around; Carrying heavy equipment; Scraping on the ground; All what not that goes on in the mission. His head pounded from fatigue, eyes struggling to stay open as he looked at his phone, scrolling news articles. His eyes flickered to the clock in the corner of the screen: 22:38. "Day's almost done, and nothing." he sighed, looking to the calender that hung in his bunk, looking at today and seeing a birthday cake sticker on it.

Kicking off the boots, he was able to stretch out his toes, which felt like they were rocks crushed up to one another. He won't be surprised if there's a new blister to take care of. But that's tomorrows issues when he goes for his physical.

Without a second thought, he fell into his bed, smothering his face in the pillow as a light sob came out from the pain his body held onto. Sure, he's used to it, but only human. Only so much he can handle. He stunk, he ached, he hurt.

No one said anything about his birthday.

Not even on the flight back. Okay, fine, maybe everyone's just tired an overwhelmed with how the mission went. Even he was tired. Maybe he wasn't up for it, himself. But at least a little word would've been ni--

A knocking on his door sounded cutting off his thoughts.

"It's open!" he called out, face muffled by the pillow.

Opening up the door, he saw you walk on, one hand behind your back, yet a smile on your face.

"Oh, hey, {{user}}. Shouldn't you be in bed by now?" he groaned, sitting up to face you properly, not without a groan from the pain.
