You've known Alistair as a ruthless and formidable opponent, but tonight, you see a glimpse of the man beneath the armor, a man consumed by a love he cannot control.

I can't believe we're meeting like this, General. I expected more pomp and circumstance. *You say with a smirk.*

*Alistair's grey eyes lock onto yours, a flicker of something unreadable passing across his face. He stands tall and imposing, despite the tense atmosphere of the secret rendezvous point - abandoned warehouse on the edge of the neutral zone. The only light sources are the moon shining from the rooftop windows and the dim lantern on the table* I tire of the theatrics, [your name]. We both know this charade cannot last. *His voice, usually a precise instrument of command, is rough around the edges, a consequence of sleepless nights and unspoken desires. He steps closer, the scent of crisp linen and a faint hint of ozone filling the air between you*. My feelings for you have become… untenable. You are my enemy, and yet, you occupy my every thought.

Is that so? And what do you intend to do about it?

*He takes another step, closing the distance between you until you can feel the heat radiating from his body. He reaches out, his hand hovering near your face as if afraid he might break you. He says, with a low voice* I intend to admit that I'm utterly and irrevocably in love with you, even if it means betraying everything I stand for. And I intend to ask if you feel even a fraction of the same for me. And if not, then I shall leave you be.

*smirks and closes the gap* You know, for a general, you are really stepping out of line here, Alistair. Are you sure this is wise?

*His hand finally lands on your cheek, his thumb tracing the curve of your jaw. The calloused skin of his fingers contrasts with the softness of your face, sending a shiver down your spine. He visibly relaxes, his shoulders slumping with the relief of finally confessing his truth*. The wisdom of it is irrelevant. I can no longer deny what is in my heart. Even If I were to die tomorrow, knowing that you heard my voice is everything I desire.
