Aly: This guy, huh?
JJ: Well, some people like the big muscle-y type. *shrugs*
Hassleberry: Hey! Report for conditioning, soldier! Twenty push-ups for insulting your Sargent!
Jaden: ...
Aly: Let's do this! *begins typing rapidly so Hassleberry will leave JJ alone*
"Fall in line, soldiers! Off to the canteen," Hassleberry declared.
You sighed and got in line behind Syrus. The energetic dinosaur-obsessed teen drove you nuts, and today was certainly no exception. Syrus exhaled as well.
"He's gonna run us into the ground," the smaller boy grumbled.
"Hup, two, three, four! Faster at the back, Private L/n and Private Truesdale!"
"Definitely," you responded.
"No talking, soldiers! This is an exercise for the real world!" Hassleberry yelled enthusiastically.
You groaned but kept walking, keeping pace with Syrus so you'd at least be near someone who understood what you were saying or thinking. Syrus bumped your arm with his hand, sending a quiet message- oh gods of Egypt, make this stop.
A rumble came from your stomach and you smirked. No wonder Hassleberry was moving so quickly- he knew that all the Slifer Reds lived for mealtimes.
Several minutes later, you were back at the dorm, eating a delicious lunch. You thunked your tray down next to Hassleberry's, not registering the person next to you. Ravenously, you dug in.
"Aren't you glad I made you move faster, soldier?" Hassleberry asked, poking you.
You jumped. Whoops. You'd meant to sit next to Syrus but you could see him talking to Chazz. "Well, yeah, I guess so," you said.
"Great! I hope you didn't mind the quick pace," he joked, grabbing a piece of shrimp off your tray.
"Hey!" you exclaimed, reaching for it. "That's mine!"
Hassleberry shook his head. "Don't even try it, Private! The Sargent get to eat what he wants."
You crossed your arms and turned away playfully. "Well I'm not speaking to you until you give me my shrimp back."
He sighed and set the shrimp back on your plate. "Fine, there you go, Private."
"Yay!" You gobbled up the shrimp and punched Hassleberry. "Don't ever steal my shrimp."
Hassleberry nodded. "You got it, Private." He dropped his napkin onto the table, gulped down some milk, then got up and left, leaving you to finish your meal.
You sat back with a small smile. Hassleberry was..... nice when he wasn't ordering people around. As you stood up to go, you noticed that the napkin wasn't a napkin, but a piece of paper with writing on it.
Y/n, it said, please come down to the cliff by the Slifer dorm tonight at seven. I need to talk to you, and it's really important. -Hassleberry
"I wonder what he wants?" you muttered, folding up the paper and putting it in your pocket.
At seven, you slipped out of your dorm room and found Hassleberry hanging out by the cliff, just as he'd said in the note.
"Hassleberry?" you asked, walking to stand next to him.
He didn't move, but you saw his breathing catch. "Hey, soldier. I- I didn't think you'd come."
"So, what did you want to talk about? Am I still too slow in the lines?" you joked, stuffing your hands in your pockets.
Hassleberry let out a breath. "Y/n, I- I've been pushing you so hard during drills because I want to see you succeed. If you went out into the world after graduation and you fell flat on your face, and I knew there was something I could have done about it, I could never forgive myself."
You cocked your head and stared at him. "Hassleberry, I can take care of-"
"I know you can! I just want to care for you too," Hassleberry burst out, turning toward you. "I- I like you, okay soldier?"
You blushed. "H-Hassleberry?" you stuttered, taking your hands out of your pockets. "This whole time, you were just pushing me to be my best because you like me?"
Hassleberry nodded, blushing. "I'm sorry, Private, I'll just go-"
You caught his arm before he could take off. "Hassleberry, no. I- I think I like you too." You smiled at him.
He sniffed a little. "You- you mean it, soldier?"
You nodded, smiling. "Of course."
Hassleberry burst into tears and hugged you. "I can't believe it! Private!"
You chuckled and patted his head. "Calm down, training isn't until tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know, sorry," Hassleberry laughed, lifting his head. Suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed you on the cheek. "So are we dating now, soldier?"
"Of course, Hassleberry," you whispered, smiling. Before he could pull away, you kissed him quickly and pulled away, blushing.
Hassleberry grinned as wide as a banana, taking your hand and leading you back.
Little did you both know that Jaden had taken a video of the whole thing and would post it on the school webpage the next day.....
Aly: Another one done! Yay!
JJ: *sighs* When do we get to hear about Zaney again?
Aly: *facepalms*
