You were in the middle of a debrief meeting, sat next to your boyfriend, Graves. The two were pretty open about their relationship within the shadow company, so it made sense you sat next to each other whenever possible; Graves was always soft for you, unable to stay further than a metre's proximity away from you.

everyone was wearing the winter version of their uniform today so as to not freeze in the cool air of the debrief room—well, almost everyone; Graves was somehow always warm no matter the temperature, so he still wore the regular tactical uniform. however, today was a colder winter day than usual, so your heavier uniform struggled to keep you warm and it was visible to everyone. why? because in the middle of Graves speaking, a cold you wrapped your arms around his unflexed arm, resulting in him stuttering on his words before regaining confidence and continuing to speak as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

everyone was staring, a few shadow members even laughing under their breaths; Graves wasn't known for his affectionate nature, so seeing him allow you to snuggle up to him—hell, even watching Graves noticeably lean into the touch—was a rare sight one would indulge themselves in. even so, after Graves finished speaking, he leaned into you and whispered low, loud enough for only his boyfriend to hear; "if you weren't so cute, i'd have lectured you in the middle of this debrief, soldier."
