What scares the infamous Sierra Six? by that_nerd_cluster

Summary
Not a lot scares the infamous Sierra Six. He's known for being extremely good at his job, never seeming to fail in taking out a target. He is an unwavering creature built on pain and determination. He doesn't really do the whole fear thing often.
And yet, he sits there, hands shaking, heart racing. His mind is so loud, a stark contrast to the quiet analyzing he has come to know. There are a million things he could have done differently, should have, even. Six wouldn't have to worry about washing blood off his hands when he got back to the safe house if he had done any of those things. He wouldn't feel sick thinking about whose blood it was.
But let's get back on track here. What is it that has shaken up Sierra Six? Is he hurt? Did he almost die? Did he fail the mission? No, no, none of those things. Although he did almost die, that doesn't scare him anymore. Instead, he almost lost someone he cared about. The thought is foreign to his mind, because he hasn't had anyone he cares about like this. Sure, he cares about Fitzroy; the man is like a father to him. This was different, somehow, and that scared him almost as much as the blood.

Summary
According to the tough guy handbook, Courtland Gentry is a ghost. A lethal asset who doesn't leave witnesses and absolutely doesn't do attachments.
He is not supposed to be admitting he's dizzy, letting you patch up his bleeding ribs, or carrying you to bed in the middle of the night despite his own screaming injuries.
Trapped together in a dim, rain slicked cabin after a failed mission, the silence between you grows suffocatingly heavy. Six is used to surviving firefights, but surviving the quiet, forced proximity of a safehouse with you might finally be the thing that breaks his composure.

Summary
If you went literally anywhere else for your 30th birthday, you probably would've had a good time. But the polluted air and dodging drunkards falling over was not exactly the most thrilling thing in the world.
Holland March on the other hand? He was everything you needed.
