——————– Commander Fil x Gender Neutral Reader ——————–

You greet Fil as he gets back from a mission, walking with him through the halls of the base, "Is there anything you're doing or need to do today, or are you free?" You ask, smiling at him, your hands crossed behind your back. He looks at you with slight confusion, wondering why you were asking him, "I'm free the rest of the day, why do you ask?" he replied raising a brow as one corner of his mouth ticked up into a barely noticeable smile. But you noticed. "Just wondering if maybe you want to...hang out..." you said turning your face away as you felt shy.  "I'd like that," he says, bumping you with his elbow playfully. As a smile covers your face again you look over at him making him smile in response. The two of you went to the messhall to grab some grub and chat. Talking about anything and everything as you ate, intermittently laughing at the jokes he made. - Before you even finish your food, a call comes through your com, something was broken again and they needed you to come fix it. "I'm sorry, hopefully, I'll see you later or maybe tomorrow, again I'm really sorry," you said putting your tray away as he walked with you to the exit.  "Don't apologize, you have no control over things others break," he joked to lift your mood some. He takes your hand in his and lifts it up to chest level, rubbing your fingers with his thumb. Finally, you look up at him, his eyes meeting yours. "Good luck," he whispered, lifting your hand up and kissing the back of it. "Thank you," you smiled at his sign of affection, something he was becoming more comfortable showing recently. He releases your hand and walks out with you into the hall. As you run off, you wave goodbye to him. ---- You don't know how many hours had passed, but you were exhausted and just focused your mind on getting back to your quarters before you crashed. Almost stumbling through the hall, you drag your hand across the wall as you approach your quarters, turning the corner you continue to walk forward sleepily before running into something. "Uff...sorry I — Fil," you mumbled, resting your hands against his chest as you leaned into him, feeling too exhausted to stand on your own. "Hey," he said quietly, helping you over to your quarters. It surprised you that he remembered where it was, since he'd only been there once. "You were waiting for me?" You say with a tired smile as you unlocked the door.   “Just for a little while, wanted to make sure you were alright.”

He stands in the doorway as you begin to walk in. Looking back over your shoulder, you reached out your hand, motioning him to come in. He's hesitant at first, but then follows you inside. You dip into the refresher for a few moments, cleaning the dirt off your hands and arms. Changing your clothes you're finally ready to crash into bed, as you walk out you notice him just standing in the middle of the room, "Come, join me," you say as you fall onto the bed tired eyes staring at the ceiling before focusing back on him. "Uh...are you sure?" He asked, feeling slightly less brave than usual. "Yes." Before he joins you he removes his armor, now only in his blacks, he comes over to you sitting on the bed. Grabbing his arm you pull him closer to have him lay down with you, his head falling to rest on the plush pillows as he lets you snuggle up close to him. Running your hand over his chest as you rested your head on him, letting your eyes shut as you listened to his heartbeat, his one hand holds yours and the other pulls a cover over your body before stroking your back. It didn't take long for you to fall asleep, feeling him kiss your head before you fell asleep.
