"Y/N, nice work today." Rourke called out to you as you passed him at the camp.

"Thanks, Commander. I did my best." you smiled at him.

"Really, I didn't realize you're that good. I should have taken you to our last expedition, the Sheperd's Journal would have been found in a day."

You snorted. "Oh stop the flattering, I'm not that good."

He smirked. "You're cute when you try not to blush."

You rolled your eyes and let out a groan. "C'mon Commander, you know I'm not blushing."

Rourke didn't answer anything, just rose his eyebrows and you made your way to your tent. Rourke was charming and always made you laugh... and though you never agreed to show it, he had made you blush on several occasions. You just escaped the scene with a scoff so everybody would just think that Rourke tried to flirt with no avail.

You knew that romances on expeditions weren't a good idea. If one of you got hurt, it's affecting the work of the other. It messes with the other's mind, constantly worrying. And that's why you had decided that you wouldn't fall in love with anyone.

Rourke made it harder every day though. But maybe you could free your feelings once you had returned to the surface...
