Chapter Text
1) Having them on the same room means either long silences of witty banter and jokes. Buck was surprised to discover that side of Glaz, since the sniper usually gives off the impression at first of being quiet and cold/detacheted. Glaz replied people underestimate him constantly, and the smirk coupled with how he intently stares at people while sketching in that notebook of his made for a slightly unsettling answer.
2) Shooting competitions. Buck is a decent marksman, but Glaz always wins and he likes to show off. The Canadian is determined to win even if it’s only once, but he’s beginning to accept that unless he resorts to some sort of trick or cheating, his chances are slim. At least he’s still the undisputed champion of snowball fights, and he’ll admit feeling a surge of satisfaction whenever a plump ball of snow hits the sniper square in the face.
3) Glaz is the only of the Russians who attempts to improve the relationship between the Spetsnaz and the JTF2, and he renews his efforts after getting closer to Buck. On his part, Buck tries to help him and even made an effort in getting to know the other Russians as well. The results are not as bad nor uncomfortable as he thought it would be, even if the rest of the Spetsnaz seem to distrust him. The tension between both CTUs is still present, but lesser than it used to be.
4) Being close to Glaz means being asked to pose for him. Buck still finds a little unnerving how the sniper’s focused gaze will asses him while drawing, but he’s learnt there’s a lot of warmth beneath the sharpness. Glaz will often gift him the portraits and sketches of him he’s done, and Buck even sent one of the cleanest portraits to his mom. She loved it. When he relayed her praise to Glaz, he saw a rare occurrence: Glaz blushed.
5) While everyone in Rainbow trains hard, watching the Spetsnaz spar made Buck think they were trying to kill each other for real. Sometimes he has a bit of trouble remembering Glaz is as deadly as they come, whether he has a weapon in his hands or not. The same hands that are so talented when drawing/painting too, and cooking as well. It makes Buck wonder at what else those hands can excel in. And maybe Buck has a competence kink
