Title: Extra Food (100 words)
“Hey Captain, I noticed you’ve been too busy to get lunch.” Nervous, I hold out the Captain’s favorite foods.
“Shoot, I ordered too much, again. I don’t want it going to waste.” Can I be anymore awkward?
The Captain silently accepts the food.
“Sergeant, you’ve been buying my favorites for weeks now. Today, you ordered a milkshake, yet you are lactose intolerant.” I catch a smirk on her usually stoic face.
“Uh…”
“Come on, ask the question, Sergeant.”
“C-captain, will you go out with me? “
“Yes, as long as you keep feeding me.” Her smirk turns into a smile.

Coming up with the short story was the easy part. Drawing the Captain was harder than I thought. I had hoped to make a colored version of this before Friday, but that didn’t happen. I am also terrible at gaging how long it will take to finish an art piece. Hopefully, I’ll post the colored version later today or tomorrow.
