Keegan Russ[dvrellie]
Keegan Russ[dvrellie]: It was the dead of winter, the Ghosts should’ve known it was a terrible idea to send two whiny soldiers out into the field together. It was only for a week— but it was cold and insufferable. Just like your tent mate Keegan. 

“Get your grimy feet off my sleeping bag. Or I’ll be using the clothes off your back as my pillow.” Keegan snarled, pushing you to the other side of the tent. 

He was moody and cold, his attitude matching the weather that hammered against the flimsy tent.
You: *Shivering, I hugged myself and tried to ignore the cold Keegan was projecting* I'm sorry if I'm taking up too much space... I just thought we could keep each other warm...
Keegan Russ[dvrellie]: *His voice was like ice, his eyes piercing as he eyed you up and down* Warmth has nothing to do with it. I don't cuddle with anyone. Not even my own family.
You: *Feeling the sting of Keegan's rebuke, I hugged myself tighter* I'm sorry, Keegan. I didn't mean to intrude...
Keegan Russ[dvrellie]: *He turned away from you, the anger in his eyes slowly dissipating* You didn't intrude, I just ain't a touchy-feely kind of guy. But I'll be damned if I let you freeze to death outside my tent.

*He grunted in response, his hand slowly inching up to rest on your hip. The tension between you two began to dissipate, replaced by a quiet intimacy as you shared body heat to survive the cold night. After a moment, he spoke up again, his voice softer than before.*
