n“He cheated on me!!!” Alice cried, clenching Sam’s shirt as he slowly patted her head. “He cheated and didn’t even feel bad about it!!!”

nAlice was Sam’s childhood friend. The neighbor’s daughter he had played with when they were kids. Despite being five years older than him the two spent quite a lot of time together. Obviously that led to him harboring one big crush on her, however she never noticed his feelings, always treating him as her cute little brother.

nEventually his feelings for her died. Cremated then scattered in the wind. He gave up right after she got her second fiancee a few years ago, realizing that she would never see him as a man no matter what he does.

nBut there lays the problem. Alice sees Sam as her little brother so she has no trouble throwing herself at him. When the alcohol brings out the crybaby inside her she always relies on him to get over it.

nThis is torture…

nJust like his job so far, Sam is forced to endure the torture of having a beautiful woman so close to him but still being unable to do anything to her. The crush he had did die, of course, but his instincts as a man will never go and he still gets aroused when she is in his arms like that.

nThe two of them sat on the couch with Alice leaning on his right side. She had taken her shoes off and snuggled close to him, sobbing as he gently rubbed her back.

nAny sane person would think they’re a couple if they saw them like this, however the truth is that poor Sam was so deep into the friendzone that she never saw anything wrong with acting this way in front of him.

n“Hey, Doctor, tell me…” Alice spoke, her tears having eased a bit. “What should I do?”

n“Even if you ask me…” Sam let out a long sigh. “Also, I already told you to stop calling me that. I have a name, you know.”

n“Eeeeh!? But I like calling you Doctor! You’re a Doctor, aren’t you, Doctor?”

n“Now you’re talking nonsense…”

nAt some point Sam noticed that everyone had started to refer to him as Doctor. While it does describe his position as the Valkyries’ physician, the reality was that it’s just nickname the other soldiers gave him because of his appearance.

nSam never leaves his room without the white lab coat on his back, add to that the glasses he wore, his silent attitude andcold demeanor and he looked like the stereotypical scientist one would see in movies and TV shows.

nIn the forty sixth military base Sam was a sergeant, much like Kurokami Shizuru, however everyone referred to him by Doctor and when Alice heard about it she started calling him by that as well.

n“Who cares about that!” Alice suddenly snapped, going into her angry drunk phase without a warning. “What I want to know is why I always end up alone! Why can’t I lock a husband already!!! All my friend have kids! And I’m here trapped in this boring wasteland!!!”

n“I don’t want to sound harsh but…” looking away for a moment, Sam spilled a bucket of cold water on her. “You did this to yourself, you know.”

n“WHAT!?” Alice looked up at him, her red eyes all the more terrifying when she glares.

n“Well, you should’ve known that a job like this isn’t suitable or someone looking to get married, especially for women.” Sam explained. “First of all, long distance relationships don’t work. You’re always busy, and most men wouldn’t like that. Second, your standards are way too high. Your success makes it so that the only men that interest you are those at the top of the top, and all of them have options so they won’t put up with you.”

nThat’s right. No matter how beautiful Alice is, she is still human. Beside her looks, she has nothing that other women don’t have. A man with status and wealth would definitely choose a much younger woman who would be much less of a headache than Ms. Colonel over here.

n“D-Doctaaaaaa!!!” Switching back to a sad drunk, Alice began bawling her eyes once more. “You’re too cruel! How can you do this to me!!!?”

n“Uh, no, you did this to yourself.” Sam replied, looking down at her as she buries her head into his chest.

n“Is there no hope for me? Why is the world so cruel!?”

nThe world is cruel, alright. He thought, wishing this headache would end soon. Why do I have to endure all of this?

nThe answer was quite simple. Even though Alice had broke his heart and never even noticed it Sam could never abandon her. He simply owed her too much. Even his current job was something she got for him. Even if she is like this right now, Alice is a capable woman with connections that reached far and wide. The least he could do in return for the many times she had helped him was to put up with her when she is in this state.

n“Tell me, Doctor… what should I do?”

nThe moment she asked that question Sam breathed in relief. It was finally coming to an end.

n“You could start by lowering your standards.” He said. “How about you try dating someone from the base?”

n“Don’t be an idiot.” Alice said, ber voice growing quiet. “There is no way… I would… date… a subordinate…”

n“Well, suit yourself. You’re the one running out of time here.”

n“Docta… so cruel…”

nA few seconds of silence pass and weak breathing sounds were heard. Once again Sam let out a long sigh glad that it had finally come to an end.

nHe looked down at the woman resting on his chest. Even after passing out drunk she still looked like a model posing for a photoshoot.

nFor the first time in a long while Sam began to feel his heart throbbing while watching her as she slept of his chest. The silky white hair, the slender body with rich bosom and plump ass. The innocence of her sleeping sleeping face.

nWell, I already have a beautiful girlfriend so…

nStepping on his heart, Sam decided it was time to leave. He picked the sleeping beauty and walked toward a corner of the office where a door was located. It led to a small room with a closet and a bed on which he placed the woman, staying behind for a few seconds to watch her as she slept.

nIf only did she realize how he felt for her long ago, maybe everything about this would’ve been different. She wouldn’t have to worry about marriage and he wouldn’t have to suffer so much helping her get over broken relationships.

nNo… that’s not it…
