Ren's mood had been down the whole night, and as he walked into the cafeteria the next morning, he wished for Stanley or anyone to provoke him.
He needed to transfer some aggression and also get the captain's attention.
He hadn't seen Axton for over an hour and knew he was being avoided. He liked it in some way. At least he didn't get to see the face of the man who sees him as nothing but a duty.
On the other hand, he wanted to see Axton's face, to hear his voice, maybe... even feel his touch.
He knew he was so stupid to want all those things, but he couldn't help himself. He was a captive of his own heart, helpless against the emotions that enslaved him.
He was the most foolish person on Earth, the only fook who would see and recognise and still go ahead and fall for him.
He got to the table, and everyone was already seated, eating their food.
He made his way to Kael's side and lowered himself by his side.
