Thanks now I gotta cry in class

Don't you just love it when you accidentally write a drabble in your English class? Cause I do!
You stand waiting for your meeting to begin as a man of great height steps up beside you. His tall, naturally looming stature immediately makes you feel as if you should not be here.
He doesnât move. Stance still and stiff as if the weight of his mass is causing him to tense up just to stand up on his own two feet.
Of what you can see of his face, the hood of his hoodie covering most of his head, you can see a multitude of faint lines covering the small strip of skin not shielded away by his black face mask with a faded skull motif. Even the outline of his nose is bumped out uncomfortably. Perhaps he broke it. And even with the hood covering most of his features, you could see a little spike or two for light blond hair poking out here and there.
His black hoodie was slightly oversized, yet you could see parts of his frame holding the fabric of the hoodie taut around his arms especially. The bottom of the hoodie met snuggly with the hem of his trousers, a well-loved pair of dark navy jeans.
As you realise youâve been staring for too long the mysterious figure turns slightly, eyes glaring a frozen hole in the centre of your face. The pools of deep bourbon grab your attention as they sit below long blond eyelashes, âIf you continue to stare. You wonât like what Iâd âave do next.â A deep gravely British voice threatened. He turns to leave back now facing you as he calls over his shoulder, âThe meetings in 5.â All you can do is stand there, mouth slightly a gape, staring at his back as he walks towards a building on base; the back of his hoodie reads: âTask Force 141â.

I wanna hug you guys I need a hug
Ghost lost a bet and soap and gaz are loving itđ¤đ¤đ¤
âtumblr mutualâ beloved friend I would pick up at the airport if yâall visited my home city
I by the way take requests, so if you guys have any ideas, feel free to send them, I love writing for ya'll! I write for (almost) all characters, ships and x reader. It may take a bit until I get to your request, since I have to study a lot, but I'll eventually get to them all.
I'm ganna upload a few art pieces I made before finals kick my ass
Note: I got the idea from a prompt on Pinterest
Ghoap but Soap is a energetic, bored prince and Ghost his stoic, quiet body guard
Soap huffed and rolled his eyes, looking at Ghost in his stupidly body shape enhancing armour. âWould it kill you to relax?â, he teased, knowing Ghost would either not say anything or give a short answer to make him shut up.
âProbablyâ, Ghost replied, eyes still trained on the wall in front of him. âLikely it would kill you too, thatâs rather the pointâ. Soap let out a groan. âWhy do you always act like you got a stick up your arse?â Silence. âItâs my job to protect you. Not entertain youâ. âWhy not both? You definitely look like you could beâŚ.funâ, Soap shamelessly flirted.
Ghost visibly tensed up at his comment. âOh, stop clutching your pearls, Ghost.â He grins. âIâd know a way or two how I could get you to relaxâ
Ghost cleared his throat. "This is highly inappropiate" Soap strolled towards Ghost, who stood there as still as a statue. "Oh come on, relax a bit", he grinned. He held out his hand. "Dance with me"
Ghost looked at him with a uncertain expression, but didn't take his hand or made any movement in general.
Soap rolled his eyes and took Ghosts hand in his.
"Now, do you really want to disobey the princes orders, guard?"
I forgot about this blog. again. forgive me.
Ghoap, but they're both gladiators in ancient Rome. Soap, the celt from Northumbria, and Ghost, the always masked fighter from South Britannia. They loathed each other at the beginning, coming from warring tribes.
But being perched and enslaved together, having to share a room in the barracks does something. At first, theyâd fight almost every day, bruises marring their bodies. Whenever they had a fight in the arena together, they were out for blood, even if the fight wasnât supposed to happen between them.
They had to perform in order to survive in the ring. They had to give the audience what they wanted to see, otherwise their popularity would decline and theyâd be sold. So they acted. They played the best friends with flirty fighting for the people, still hating each other as soon as they left the arena, though.
After some time, though, their acting from the arena affected them. They wouldnât punch the other at the slightest provocation, sometimes even going as far as helping the other out when they came back from a fight injured.
Maybe sharing a room wasnât so bad after all. And as the best two gladiators their master had, no one would bother them when there were some strange sounds coming from their room.
Note: Should you guys like this au, Iâd be happy to write some more for it!
Trigger warning: Graphic descriptions of pain, wounds and violence.
Note: The way I described it here is how I learned it in my tactical field care course, which is very different from what spec ops learn, so sorry for the inaccuracies. Also, there will be tactical inaccuracies as well, I have no idea what strategies the SAS uses on their missions.
Pairing: Ghost x Soap
Trope: Hurt/comfort, whump, angst
Word count:
It was a simple intel mission, something theyâd done dozens of times before. Soap grabbing the intel from an old abandoned warehouse, Ghost in sniping position from a hill near the warehouse.
âSmooth as butterâ, Soap thinks as he scouts the warehouse. The few hostiles were quickly eliminated, and he starts searching for the laptop. âHowâs going in there, Johnny?â, Ghosts deep voice cracks through comms. âBeautifully, sirâ. âGood. As soon as you got the intel, come to my location. Evac will take about half an hour to get hereâ. Soap rummages through a desk. âUnderstoodâ.
After a few minutes of searching, he finally finds the laptop. âGot it, Ghostâ, he announces. âWell done, Johnny. Now get your arse over hereâ âYes sirâ.
Soap quickly leaves the warehouse, carefully making his way towards the hill about two hundred meters away. âHowâs the view from there, lt?â, he jokingly asks. No answer. âGhost?â, he asks again. Still nothing. He gets a bit worried. âGhost, you OK over there?â. Silence. He curses and picks up his pace.
As he reaches the foot off the hill, he sees something bloody in the tall grass. He scrambles towards the figure, sighing in relief when he identifies it as not Ghost. But a knife stuck out of the mans neck, it was one of Ghosts. He was in trouble.
As quickly as he could he runs up the hill, searching the ground for Ghost in his ghillie suit. When he finds him, his blood runs cold. Ghost is lying face down on the ground, a puddle of blood pooling around his torso. âFuck, Ghost!â, Soap curses, quickly kneeling down next to him.
He turns him around and immediately grimaces at the sight. The mask was broken, his eyes closed. Blood pools out a bullet wound in his stomach, dark and slow.
âNo no no noâ, Soap mumbles, immediately pressing down on the wound, grabbing the med kit from his backpack. âGhost! Wake up!â, he tries to urge the other man, putting on latex gloves and scissors, cutting away the fabric from his torso. Ghosts eyes flutter open. âJohnnyâ, he mumbles.
âHey, heyâ, Soap tries to talk to him, keeping him awake somehow. Ghost tries to speak, but his voice strangles into a pained moan when Soap starts packing the wound with quick clot gauze.
He tries to hide it, for Ghosts sake, but Soap panics. Ghost is hurt. That doesnât happen. Some cuts and bruises, sure, but not like this. He was in pain, and he couldnât hide it. Soap had never seen Ghost lose his composure, but here he was, hands gripping the fabric of the ghillie suit with white knuckles, small moans and whimpers leaving his lips as Soap tries to keep him from dying.
âIt hurtsâ, Ghost mumbles, writhing under Soaps hands. âI know, I know, Iâm sorryâ, Soap tries to comfort him, running his hands over Ghosts body to check for other injuries. The thoughts in his mind are running a hundred miles and hour as his hands press against his muscles, trying to ignore how he feels underneath his fingertips.
He grabs the morphine pen, uncapping it and stabbing it into Ghosts thigh, releasing the pain medication into his blood stream. âItâll be better soon, I promiseâ, he tells him. His fingers reach up the the dishevelled mask, slowly pulling it off âI have to take this one off, lt. Gotta make sure you donât accidentally swallow your tongue, yea?â Ghost faintly nods, not enough strength in him to speak, a warm, comfortable cocoon starting to envelop him.
The sharp and agonising pain in his side slowly lessens to a dull ache, which is far more manageable. He tries to stay conscious, for Soap, but it is no use. Heâs so tired, and no amount of struggling keeps him from slipping into a comforting darkness.
Soap in the mean time attempts to stop the shaking in his hands. Heâs a sniper, a demolitions expert in the SAS, for fucks sake. He can keep his cool in the most stressful situations, but right now, heâs scared. Scared that it wonât be enough, that Ghost will die under his incompetent hands, killed on a stupid mission in a strange country.
Soap takes a look at his watch. Evac should be there in ten minutes. He prays to God heâll be able to keep Ghost alive in the mean time. He doesnât know what to do if he canât. Ghost has passed out. At least he doesnât have to feel the pain anymore. Soap would do anything to take it for him. With shaky hands he grabs a tube from the kit, intubating Ghost as gently as he can.
There isnât much else he can do now anymore, only making sure Ghost keeps breathing and his heart keeps beating. He takes a look at the other far less damaging wounds, a fairly deep gash on his thigh and some bruises. With careful hands he cleans the gash from the dirt and dried blood, tightly wrapping a pressure bandage around it.
There isnât more he can do now. He just has to wait and hope. A shuddering breath escapes him as he leans back on his knees, looking at Ghost. He looks so⌠Small. It is terrifying. Soap is used to being cared for by Ghost, whether it be being pulled out of the line of fire by the straps of his vest or big hands pressing into his body to stem a flow of blood. But not the other way around. The most he did for Ghost was helping him wrap a bandage around his arm once. But now, the mighty, strong and scary Ghost lies on the ground, hurt and weak.
It wasnât the first time Soap had seen his face, but definitely the longest. His eyes were closed now, but Soap knew they were beautiful. A deep and rich brown, like the bark of an oak tree in summer. His lips were dry but of a slight pink colour, and way too plump for his own good. Soap wonders what theyâd feel like on his, on his skin, on his-
The familiar sound of a chopper coming closer tears him out of his thoughts. He quickly scrambles up, packing the leftover plastic wrappers of the med kit in his bag pack, kneeling next to Ghost with a hand on his chest.
Two soldiers storm out, a stretcher in their hands. Soap helps them to roll Ghost onto it, and he gets quickly carried inside the chopper. A medic awaits them, and Soap hurries to report about Ghosts condition to him.
âSit back, Iâll take it from hereâ, he says and turns to Ghost. Soap lets himself fall heavily onto a bench, his own exhaustion getting stronger. He fights to keep his eyes open and trained on Ghosts unconscious figure, taking his hand in his and squeezing it, hoping he could feel it.
âYouâre gonâ be alright, ok? Iâm here, I wonât leave you aloneâ
If you're still up for some drabble ideas, I was thinking of Horangi falling in love with his neighbor's foreign bestie (reader). He just got back from an assignment, and he meets a foreigner at his apartment back in South Korea. He's smitten the moment he talks to them and is elated that they're staying at his neighbor's place for their time there.
If it's too wild of an idea or if it's not your type of style, then you could just ignore this.
Note: Hey there, anon! First off, thank you for being my first ever request. And sorry it took so long, I honestly just didn't know where to start with this one. I'm only going to make it a short drabble to see how ya'll like it, should you do, I'll write more : ) Also, I don't speak Korean, so I had to use google translate, sorry if it's cringe to read. Word count: 289 Trope: Fluff, gender neutral reader
The mission was a full success. Everything went smoothly, and Horangi got away with only some small bruises and cuts. He was placed on leave for two weeks, and went back to his apartment in South Korea to relax a bit. He could hear his bed call him when he stood in the lift of his apartment building, the duffel bag over his shoulder heavy. When he stepped out, he saw you. Standing in front of the door next to his, big smile on your face. He looked twice. You were beautiful. "ěë íě¸ě. ě ę° ëěë댴ęšě (Hey there, can I help you?"). "What?", you turned around, smile still there, albeit slightly confused "Sorry, I don't speak Korean". "Ah, ok. Can I help you?", he asked again, this time in English. "Oh, I'm just waiting for my friend, but I think they're asleep", you chuckled. A grin spread on his tired face. You had a nice smile. "Are you going to stay longer?", he had a slight hope in his voice. You nodded happily. "Yup! Two weeks, to be exact" It made a warmth flow through him, even though he tried to suppress it. He thought about saying something, maybe invite you over for a drink or something. But before he could, the door opened and your friend, very sleepy and ruffled hair, appeared in the doorway. "Sorry", they mumbled. "Oh, no problem (friends name)". You grinned at Horangi, and the familiar flutter came back. "I'm (name), by the way" you extended your hand. "I'm Kim", he shook your hand, but you dissapeared in your friends room before he could say anything.
He was definetely going to sleep well.
A ppart five of love potion where Soap is forced to watch Simon "serve" Roba?
That is so horrendous and terrible, anon I will literally kiss you on the lips from how much I love this
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Ghost knew that Soap and Roach were up to something. Whatever it was, it didnât involve him as far as he could tell. He was tired. So tired. He hadnât been able to sleep in a while.Â
Thatâs why he fell asleep while with his Lady. She had been riding him and he had stepped away from himself like always. As long as she enjoyed herself, that was the important part. Who cared if he drifted away as long as his body stayed⌠interested?
Ghost felt the sting of the slap. She started to curse in her language and jumped off of him.Â
He went to get up, to apologize and take his leave to giver her space, but she shoved him hard on to the bed.
âStay right there. I have told Roba that running you ragged ruins you. Your performance is pathetic.â She sounded so angry but there was a tinge of concern. Pilar was always the nicer of them and he dimly hoped that maybe this was one of the rare times she stuck up for him. âStay here for the day. Sleep.âÂ
Ghost swallowed. âThank you.â
Pilar scoffed, but she softened just a little. Ghost felt his heart do something funny. It wasnât like with Soap or Roach. It felt less like his heart fluttered and more that someone ripped into his chest and squeezed his heart.Â
âI said sleep.â
Ghost smiled slightly but his eyes drifted close. After a week of nothing, it was too easy.Â
Pilar put her head on his chest as they laid together.Â
Roba came back from his time away and, despite how nice Pilar was about it, she still had him whipped. He had Ghost kneel down on the floor. âShame I canât do this in front of everyone. Your appearance is just too different though. Even if I cut off those fucking ears, theyâll still be able to tell.â
Roba kissed the whip before striking his back. Ghost closed his eyes as pain lanced through that mark. Blood dripped as his skin just tore.Â
âYou still havenât found that thing in the woods.â He hit him again, the leather going straight through Ghost. Ghost forced himself to make a small pained sound. If he was quiet, Roba would try to hit him harder or would escalate it. Better to give him what he wants.Â
âThere ya go, sweetheart. Remember this next time you fail, yeah?â He hit him again. And again.Â
Ghost made a noise every so often, but honestly? The pain wasnât much anymore. Blood spilled and he knew heâd start to feel light headed soon.Â
He loved them.Â
He loved Roba so much.Â
Sometimes, it hurt that they were so much nicer to each other than him.Â
When was the last time he had felt⌠loved?
Ghost let out a sob in to the otherwise silent room and there was a pause. Roba let the leather of the whip trail against his open wounds. âOh, sweetheart.âÂ
No.Â
No, no, no,no, no,no,noooo,no.
âPoor thing. Stay on your knees.â Roba patted his face. âFeeling lonely lately? Surrounded by us vile humans? Unable to even talk about yourself? Must be terrible.âÂ
Ghost glared up at him. He hadnât felt so alone recently. Honestly. Things had become easier with Johnny and Roach.Â
A knock.Â
It was so loud.Â
Roba looked displeased as he crossed the room to the door. He opened it slightly and looked inside. âMacTavish.âÂ
âHello, sir. I havenât been able to find Ghost. Weâre supposed to go out tonight to hunt for the creature.âÂ
Roba looked back at Ghost before glancing at MacTavish. âCan you keep a secret?â
âI⌠I can, sir.âÂ
âCome in.â
Ghost felt himself deflate. No⌠NoâŚÂ
Soap walked in and he could hear how his heart picked up.Â
âMy prized possession.â Roba spoke softly. âHeâs freshly punished, so he wonât have his usual wit about him. Itâs how I prefer him honestly.â He yanked him back by his hair. âWould you like a lesson over elves?â
âI know how to kill them. I feel thatâs enough.â Soap sounded nervous.
Roba hummed. âTheir mouths are sharp. Not just their teeth, even the flesh of their tongue. Itâs textured. Not the best for oral, which is a real disappointment.â He shoved his fingers into Ghostâs mouth, holding his head. âA masochist might like it. You a masochist?â
âNo, sir.â
âShame.â Roba backhanded Ghost who let out a soft groan. He spit up a mix of blood and saliva at his Lordâs feet. âMight finally have a use for that mouth.â He grabbed Ghostâs chin and held him tight. âGuess not. But trust me, they have plenty of other uses.â
Soap walked around him, trying to look at Ghostâs face he assumed. He wished he wouldnât. This was humiliating enough. Truly. âThat so, sir?â His voice was tight as he stared down at him.Â
âSir, please. This is unnecessary. I can put my gear on and go back out.â Ghost swallowed. âIâll find it this time.âÂ
Roba stared at him before yanking him around but his hair. âDid i ask elf? No. I didnât. One day Iâll cut that tongue of yours out. You barely speak anyway.â He glanced at Soap and then Pilar.Â
Ghost looked at him, blood still dripping from all the broken skin.Â
Roba put him on the bed, all gentle like. Lovers. Even prepped him. Trying to put on a show for his captive audience no doubt.Â
Ghost pleaded to him quietly to please dismiss Soap first. He was his superior. This was awful. Please, do anything else just donât do this. Let him have a little dignity.Â
Roba put his hand around his throat. âShut. Up.â
Ghost buried his face in the bed and tried to be silent. To disappear and never ever be seen again.
Soap swallowed so loudly he could hear it over Robaâs grunting. âCan i?..âÂ
âYes.â
Ghost felt fingers card through his hair. So gentle and sweet.Â
âSimon. A little effort, yeah?â
Ghost shivered and made fake whimpers into the bedding. He looked at Soap and they accidentally made eye contact. It was so intense.Â
Soap let out a breath. Pity.Â
Ghost wanted to cry. He instead glared at Soap before burying his face back into the sheets as he serviced Roba. His hips rocked back and he tried His best to speed this process up.Â
Soap ran his fingers along his cheek and Ghost bit him, sinking his teeth into the kind flesh that wished to be nice to him. Soap didnât pull away, instead letting him keep his teeth into him.Â
âBarely even sentient. A step above an animal.â Roba smiled. âYouâre not allowed to touch him like this. But you can watch. Youâre clearly enjoying it.â
Ghost looked up to see Soap was, in fact, fucking hard. From his humiliation. Humans were awful.Â
They were cruel.Â
And fucking sadists.Â
âYou can get off.â
âNo, thank you, sir.â Soap wouldnât look at Ghostâs eyes now.Â
Roba continued to fuck him until he finished. He pulled out and fixed his pants. âSimon. Get up and get clean. Then put on your armor and find that fucking monster.â He slapped his ass hard and Ghost wasnât sure he could get anymore red.Â
Pilar and Roba left and it was quiet for a while before Soap started moving. He cleaned up the wounds on his back silently. âIm sorry⌠i didnât⌠i didnât mean.â
âShut up. You got off on it didnât you?â
âNo! Its not like that! I sweat justâŚâ
âYou find it sexually attractive. Me being fucking degrading.â
Soap winced. âNo. Sorry i didnât mean to react to it, just⌠youâre attractive but i swear its not⌠i donâtâŚâ
Ghost stood up, feeling such an intense pain everywhere. His back. His fucking⌠He grabbed the bed to keep himself steady. âJust give me my fucking clothes.â
Soap handed them to him. âI really⌠Iâm sorry.â
âShut up. Letâs just fucking go.â
Hi! Im a new writer to Tumblr, I write about Call of Duty (CoD), My Hero Academia (MHA) and more! I take requests, I am older than 18, and I take requests, even NSFW! I look forward to being part of the Tumblr Community so please be nice! If you have any requests, I take them!
Help me I was just at a job fair and went to the army and there was this guy in full combat gear and mask from the special forces and I talked to him about his job and he had these deep brown eyes and was so nice I swear I was trying to listen. But. We were talking about how much his gear weighed and he chuckled, took my hand and put it on his vest so I could lift it and see for myself. Then he told me he could just pick me up and carry me.

Simple portraits
since i'm rambling about self inserts? (is that it?) now you're miserably turning over on the bed, pulling the comforter over your head because you wasted a whole whopping 70$ for MW3 only to get an unfinished game and a piss-poor half-assed shock value main character death.
You fall asleep thinking about what you'd do differently- how johnny wouldn't die so needlessly, maybe even convince Captain Price to let Johnny put a bullet in Makarov's head in that helo.
And when you wake, your surroundings are different. The bed is too small when yours is a king, the innerspring mattress creaks when you sit up, even though you explicitly bought a memory foam.
The walls are spartan instead of the personalized decor you had. Looking over the edge of the bed, the floor isn't carpet. It's an ugly, white vinyl tile.
Where the fuck are you?
Your hands are callused but the only time you even got one was when you tried your hand at gardening, only to eventually realize you could kill a cactus with your brown thumb.
Hopping out of bed, you beeline to your bathroom and look at yourself in the mirror. Almost everything is the same. Eyes, hair, body, height.
Only difference is your flesh. It's littered with scars- both old and new. A thick, pink jagged line across your clavicle (a blade?), a puckered star shaped keloid above your hip bone (A gunshot wound?)
Stepping back out into the room, you carefully survey the space around you. A tac vest you swear you've seen before hangs on the back rest of your small chair.
Two black glock-19's sit on the desk. How do you know that? You don't know lick about weapons.
There's a large sheathed blade by your nightstand table. Didn't Rambo have one of those?
Suddenly, it hits you like a ton of bricks. You're dreaming. Jesus. Maybe you should start reading some smut fanfiction before bed to get Simon in your-
A knock at your door pulls you out of your degenerate thoughts.
oooookay.
Padding quietly to the door, the metal of the handle feels shockingly cold. How wildly vivid.
"Ye- what the fuck?"
What the actual fuck?
"Language."
...
Your mouth gapes in utter disbelief. "Simon?"
His dark eyes narrow behind his skull mask. "Chummy, are we?" He steps forward, forcing your neck back at an uncomfortable angle to keep your eyes fixed on his. "You and I, Sergeant, ain't friends. It's Ghost to you. Clear?" he snarls.
You swallow thickly. "C-Crystal, sir."
He tips his chin forward. "Get decent, I'm to take ya to the debriefin' room."
what?
"Now."
Spinning on the balls of your feet, you hastily dress, and grab the vest on the chair. UK flag on it. Tactical. Heavy as hell.
Your hands move on their own, and fingers smartly clip buckles, pull up zippers and close the pockets- as if you've been doing this your whole life.
What is happening?
When you get to wherever it was you were going, you're met with more recognizable faces.
Captain Price stands in front of Laswell, bulky arms crossed as he speaks to her in a hushed tone.
Gaz sits on a chair with his head hanging back as he blankly stares at the ceiling, trademark cap in place.
And then there's- "Bonnie!"
Johnny.
"Good to see Simon dinnae eat ye on the way here."
Simon Ghost doesn't react to the jibe at all.
Why are you sitting in the middle of the 141 listening to Laswell debrief about Hassan? Why aren't you waking up yet? You're lucid. The sharp sting of your nails digging into the palms of your clenched hands isn't dulled.
"Good hunting."
This can't be happening.
This isn't real. The heavy helmet strapped to your head. The weight of the bulky tac vest full of equipment. The painfully tight straps around your thighs. The way the rifle feels in your hands, solid and dense.
Not real.
Until you're offloading with Bravo Team in Al-Mazrah on the search for Major Hassan. The tall grass grazing your pants, the NVG's over your eyes to help you see in the dark. The harsh recoil of a weapon you've only ever used in a video game. The gurgling sounds of the enemies as they choke on their blood by your feet. The bullet whizzing past you, clipping your cheekbone. The burning sting of it, white-hot pain.
Real.
It feels fucking real.

Do you like Call of Duty because of cool character and cool guns, or do you like the idea of people seeing you at your worst/nastiest, yet they know you have value so they don't hold that against you and try to work things out
You always wondered how KĂśnig was when he was back at base and being colonel. You wished you had some type of secret superpower and could teleport to see if what Hutch or Stiletto said was true. You had asked him one time, and he didn't even answer the question. Well, he sort of did. Blaming the recruits for causing him to be mean and making them run long miles.
"You don't get it, liebe. They're all morons, and they think they can fool around all the time. So I, as a colonel, do my job and make them suffer the consequences."Â
You learned your lesson to not ask ever again on a sunny friday morning when you got a little taste. You had decided to join him on a run and at first you were all giddy and confident. How bad could it be? The weather was perfect and working those 12 hour shifts had prepared you.
Yeah, you were wrong.
You were practically on your knees, breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. It felt like each breath you took was getting worse. Your giant husband just stood there. There was some sweat on his forehead, but he didn't look like he was struggling.Â
The man had the nerve to scoff.
"C'mon soldier. You wouldn't survive a day in the field with just." KĂśnig checks his watch. "Only ten minutes of running."
You look up and glare at him. "I-I can't catch up to you! You're taller!"
"My height has nothing to do with your running capabilites." KĂśnig says.
"You're running faster! You have experience." You shout, very annoyed.
He shakes his head. You can see a grin forming on his face even when he's wearing that damn hood. "Nein. Just excuses. Even a rookie could do better."
How dare he.
"You know what! I may not be able to beat you, Mr. Colonel, but I know dang well you couldn't clear a screen during a rush in minutes." You spat back, the bottle in your hand falling to the floor.
"Quit your babbling rookie and get to running."
Oh and you indeed showed him. Even when your lungs were burning and you almost twisted your ankle, you made it before him. Soon as you got to the top of the goal, you did your little dance and mocked him the way he was first.
"Guess what? This little rookie just beat your ass colonel." You say, your finger poking his chest. Almost getting distracted by the way the black shirt was sticking to his skin.
"Is that how you talk to your superior?"
You nod. "You best believe it."
And with that you own yourself a piggyback ride home by your mean husband( he literally let you win but won't admit it because he loves your competive side).
KĂśnig just loves you âŁď¸
Note: I made this two parts since I really wanted to post this but couldn't find the energy to write for the others tonight.

Alejandro: Alejandro was no stranger to sleepless nights. It took an eternity for him to fall asleep, worries and sorrows keeping him awake. When he did finally fall asleep, the nightmares came. He'd stand in the town square of Las Almas, having to watch as his family, friends and comrades were put against a wall. He couldn't run or scream, just stand there. When he suddenly stared in the barrel of a gun he finally woke up, shirt wet with sweat, the rooms silence filled by his heavy breaths. "Joder (Fuck)", he mumbled, getting up and putting on a new shirt. It was 0200 (2 am). He decided to get a tea. As he stepped in the community room he was surprised to see the lights on, you standing in pyjamas in front of the boiling kettle, a mug in your hand. "(Name)? What are you doing in the kitchen an two in the morning, tesoro?" You turned around, grinning but tired. "I could ask you the same, Ale" He sighed and grabbed a mug and tea bag (Spanish orange) "Can't sleep. You?" "Same. Do you... Wanna talk about it?", he shook his head. "Not right now, I think.... Just need to think about something else" You shrugged. "Understandable" You two sat down on the couch, sitting in silence, drinking the tea, each lost in their own thoughts. "Would you rather fight one hundred duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?", you suddenly asked. He looked at you like you had grown two horns. "Ehhh, madre mia, the horses, I think?", he answered. "Me too. Even though it would depend on the horse" He chuckled. "Are you trying to distract me?" You grinned "Is it working?" He rolled his eyes "A bit". You leaned you head on his shoulder, and after a moment he put his head on yours. "Good" You continued to banter about random nonsense until, finally, fatigue overcame you and you finally fell asleep. It was the best sleep either of you had gotten in a while.
Gaz: Falling asleep wasn't the problem. But as soon as Gaz drifted off into dream land, he was haunted. Faces of fallen comrades screamed at him for not saving them, the screams of agony of their last moments, the pleas of enemies he tortured filled his mind. With a muffled yelp he shot up in his bed, chest heaving. "Fuck", he muttered, getting up and pacing up and down in his room. His heart was beating like a racehorse. He grabbed his gym bag and decided to head to the training rooms. He was surprised to see the lights on, the thudding of fists hitting the punching bag filling the room. "Not bad, (name)", he stepped closer, looking at you. You sighed. "Can't sleep either?", you asked. He nodded. "Yea. Damn nightmares", he punched the bag, making it swing violently. You stepped back, sitting down on the mat and leaning against the wall. "Wanna talk about it?". He thought for a moment before turning his attention back on the bag. You thought he'd just ignore you and stay quiet, but as he started punching the bag, he muttered under his breath. "I couldn't save them. I killed them" His punches got harder and more aggressive. "It's my fault. It's my fault". You weren't sure who he was talking about, but it didn't quite matter right now. "Hey, hey, Gaz", you tried to calm him down. "Cmere", you patted the mat next to you. He seemed to contemplate for a moment, but then finally sat down next to you. A shuddered breath escaped him as he slumped in on himself. You opened your mouth, but quite honestly you weren't sure what to say. So you just sat in silence, but it wasn't an awkward feeling. It felt... Safe. Suddenly, you felt his head on your shoulder, and smiled, leaning yours against his.
Ghost: For Ghost, a good nights sleep was as common as a unicorn. Everytime he closed his eyes, he was there again. Buried alive, in a coffin, squished next to a decaying body. But this time, he didn't get out. He thrashed and screamed, unbeknownst to him not only in his sleep, but it was no use. He was trapped, he was trapped, he was trapped. Panic flooded his every fiber, but he just wouldn't fucking wake up. His eyes widened when he finally woke up. His breath came in short, shuddering gasps, tears staining his cheeks. He wanted to run, he needed to run or else he'd suffocate. He almost fell over putting on his pants and running shoes before he ripped open his door and ran. He didn't know where, he just needed to run. The sky was still dark, with the faintest shimmer of violet light creeping up the horizon. He aimed for the woods behind the barracks, mindlessly running along the paths. "Fuck, Riley, watch your step, big boy", a sudden voice squeaked. He opened his eyes which he didn't remember closing. He looked down, seeing you knocked over on the ground. "Sorry", he mumbled, giving you a hand and pulling you up. "What are you doing here at this time of night?", you raised an eyebrow. He shifted his weight. "Can't sleep". "Me too...", you looked at him. His gaze was weird... Dead, somehow. "Do you... Want to talk about it?", you asked carefully. "No", he said, voice firm. "Come with me", you grabbed his arm, leading him to a bench nearby, guiding him down and plopping next to him. "I'm here for you, you know that, right?" He gulped. "Yea..." A deep sigh escaped him. "...Thank you". You smiled, leaning your head on his shoulder. "No problem", you mumbled, feeling him relaxing under you.
Horangi: They were here, they'd kill him, fuck, he needed to hide, he needed to hide. Horangi panted, clenching his fist in the sheets. His eyes opened wide and he rubbed the scars on his face. He grabbed a pack of cigarettes and stepped outside, sliding down the wall. He lit it and took a deep breath, letting his head roll back and closing his eyes. "Whatcha doin there?", you voice suddenly sound beside him. "ëšě´ë¨šě!" (Fucking hell, may be a bit wrong since I don't speak Korean) He had jumped up, sighing when he saw it was just you. "Stop sneaking up to me like that, (name)". You chuckled. "Heh, sorry". You sat down next to him. "Can't sleep?", you looked up at him. He nodded. "I don't wanna talk about it". "Then lets just... Sit" You leaned against him, feeling the tension melt slightly from his form.
KĂśnig: As soon as he closed his eyes, the memories came. He was strapped to a chair, only dressed in boxer shorts, his hood gone. He felt exposed. They whipped, beat and cut him, the scars still evident on his skin. He stood up on shaky legs, the scars on his body aching. A small tin of ointment stood on the table, which he grabbed and carefully rubbed it in. He was not gonna fall asleep anytime soon again. With a heavy sigh he put on his clothes and shuffled towards the armoury. He plopped down on a bench and started cleaning his guns. "Hey there", he hadn't heard you, and immediately pointed the empty gun at you. "ScheiĂe! You scared me!", he mumbled. You giggled, sitting down next to him. "Sorry". He rolled his eyes and watched him clean his weapons for a minute. "Can't sleep?", you asked. "Nightmares", he answered shortly. You leaned your head on his shoulder, feeling his muscles move under it as he wiped down the barrel of his gun. "You can always talk to me, you know?", you mumbled. "Yea... Danke"
tw: simon's mean and a sexist.
Simon who doesn't like you. He respects Laswell, who's intel is vital to their missions. Price as the leader of the Task Force. Gaz because he's proved his mettle time and time again, and Soap whose stubborn self has burrowed under Simon's thick, knotted flesh.
Not you, though.
You've yet to do anything substantial.
As a sniper, your job is to aim and kill; provide overwatch. Why Johnny insists on giving you praise for doing what is required of you is beyond him.
You aren't taken to below-zero temperatures as emotional support. Why you're taken at all is also another mystery.
Without your gun, you're utterly useless. And Simon proves it, time and time again during training spars at base.
He comes at you as if you're the enemy, with dangerous precision and quick movements. Simon gets enjoyment out of seeing your eyes widen when he moves, like an injured gazelle who's just spotted a ravenous lion.
His grip is bruisingâ the force that he slams you to the ground with devastating.
Simon can hear the air punched out of your lungs once your back hits the mat, and the time it takes for your vision to sharpen, he's already pinning you down viciously with a knee to the sternum.
Useless. Women don't belong in combat. He's seen that big brute from KorTac. He'd crush your pathetic little head under his palm, he'd kick your ribs hard enough to crack and the splintered ends pierce your lungs.
He'd kill you without a hint of effort.
And Simon intends to remind you that there is no place for weak, bitty things like you in the front lines. Unless you're to be used as a distraction by flashing your tits at the bad guys.
Out of place.
Every time you go up against him, he uses his size and strength against you, just like every other person will. He launches you across the floor with a single arm, only to watch you struggle to get up and continue this sham of a fight.
Confidence born of ignorance.
As if sheer will would ever beat physical prowess.
If your feet won't touch the ground, then the rest of your body will. Through spilled blood and bruised flesh, may you learn.
He whistles at Johnny, gesturing at him to take his place, only for the end result to be the same, albeit much more gently.
Simon watches you through half-lidded eyes as he leans up against the wall. You fight against inevitability.
Pathetic.
And then one day, you come at him with a snarl on your lips. Blunt teeth that have never had to sink into someone's neck and rip a throat out, out of utter desperation. An unblemished face that's never felt the sting of a sharp blade as it's sliced open contorted into 'rage.' Frothing at the mouth like a lap dog with rabies, barking out words that are as empty as your future.
A forceful wave of his hand abruptly halts you mid-sentence, causing you to involuntarily flinch in response. Good.
"If ya have a complaint, take it to Price. I am not obligated to humor your stupidity."
He spins on the balls of his feet, leaving you to sputter indignantly.
Then on a mission, you get shot. Simon grabs the handgun that's holstered on his chest, and places it in your bloodied hands. "Keep them off of us, or we're both dead!"
His fingers are curled around the thick strap of your tac vest as he drags you toward the LZ; his pace never faltering even while getting clipped by stray bullets. But you?
He'd think you got your legs cut off. Wailing like a cat in heat over a wound above your hip. A clean in and out, nothing vital hit.
Simon has seen Gaz fall out of a helicopter, dangle from a rope, and still use his gun. He's seen Johnny cross a town full of Graves' Shadows bleeding from his shoulder, armed with nothing but the makeshift weapons he crafted on the way to the church. Price inhaled toxic gas and made it out just fine. Even Laswell was taken hostage and didn't crack under the pressure, going as far as killing her captor with her bare hands.
And you're decomposing in front of his very eyes over a superficial wound.
Landing at base, he walks out without a glance back and heads straight for Price's office. He didn't join the 141 to babysit anyone, least of all someone who belongs in either intelligence or a kitchen.
HIIII!!! I just wanted to say that i really love ur writing! I've read ur traitor series and I can't wait for part 4! I'm a new author, and english isn't my first language, so it's sometimes very hard for me to write bcs i'm stil not that good, but ur fics have helped me improve<3đ!
thank you so much!𫶠im glad youâve enjoyed the series! and speaking of part four, here it is :)
part one / part two / part three / part 3.5 (drabble)
simon didnât turn to watch you leave the gym.
he stood there, eyes forward, mask clenched in one fist. he could feel the blood drying on his skin. he made no move to wipe it away.
he didnât blame you for your angerâ he couldnât. he understood the rage. had felt it himself a time or two.
but he couldnât take everything lying down.
did he deserve your wrath, your fury? yesâ and he knew that. there was no making up for what he did; he realized that, but why couldnât you understand?
heâd never fully taken his walls down around you, and that was no fault of your own. he was a guarded man, and his past gave him every right to be.
he had been burned and broken too many times. heâd seen the people he loved murdered because of him.
he swore he would never let that happen again. he put those walls up, and you knocked some of them down.
but there were some youâd never gotten through, at least, simon told himself you hadnât. there was always something he was holding back, a piece of himself he wouldnât give freely. he told himself it was because he couldnât stand to love you so deeply and then watch you leave.
but really, it was because he needed an out. he needed a way to justify his leaving if something ever happenedâ and thatâs what got him here.
simon trusted the 141 with his life. he trusted his captain with his life. price had never led him astray; john knew his face well before any of the others. well before you.
and when someone you trust so deeply, someone youâve followed for years, tells you that the person you love has betrayed your team?
you canât help but believe them. and thatâs what simon did.
the evidence was coincidental at first. wrong place, wrong time. but then, everything started to seem like more than a coincidence. pieces of a complicated puzzle were fitting together. things only you and the rest of the 141 would know were leaked.
and all the signs pointed to you.
and although he didnât want to, simon couldnât help it. the second price had confided in him that you may be the rat, simon began to distance himself. you had been confused, but he had offered no explanation.
price was the one to question you first. it was a heated conversation in his office, consisting of him showing you the evidence and you becoming furious at the accusations.
johnny came to you next, buttering you up with his flirtatious and unarming words before asking if youâd leaked information.
then there was kyle, who pleaded for the truth. he told you that a case was being built against you, and that if you came clean now, things wouldnât be so bad.
simon never tried to talk to you about it. the other men would tell him what youâd said, but he had never gone to talk to you himself.
maybe it was pride. simon wasnât trusting, not after his past. he had let the 141 in, had let you in. and now you were a suspected traitor, and he was angry at himself. angry he hadnât seen it sooner; angry heâd let you in at all.
but maybe it was hurt. hurt that youâd done this to him, to the team, after knowing everything theyâd been through. after stitching up wounds on the battlefield and taking bullets for one another. after sharing simonâs bed and whispering you loved him.
all he knew was that he trusted price. and as evidence built, so did the distance between the two of you, until you were tied to that chair.
and simon had taken his hurt, his anger, out on you. he wasnât proud of it, and he knew now that he was wrong. but he was still a little angry. angry because you couldnât see his side of thingsâ not like he could see yours.
so, he was an ass. he didnât apologize. he snuck flowers to your bedside but kept his distance. he told you to watch your tone because you were still part of the team, and speaking to price like that was only something an outsider would do.
and he told you that heâd spared your life because he had. anger had consumed him, and truthfully, you were lucky he hadnât done worse.
even if heâd smothered his feelings for you with rage, he still harbored love for you, and thatâs why some part of him held back.
he knew you would probably never forgive him. he had made his peace with that.
but he couldnât stand the fact that you couldnât understand why heâd done what he did.
the creak of the gym door opening broke simon from his thoughts. he pulled his mask back on before turning around and making his way to the door.
it took one firm knock on the door for price to answer.
the door clicked open, and price sighed when he saw simon, scrubbing a hand over his unruly beard before letting the taller man in. price turned, walking back to his desk chair, while simon closed the door behind him and locked it.
âthis is a bloody mess,â the captain said, falling heavily into the chair. it squeaked at the sudden weight, old leather crinkling and crackling.
âdoc came and saw me earlier, âfore she left for the night. told me about some new injuries, and yelled at me for letting that happen.â
simon didnât speak. priceâs eyes met his, and he sighed again.
âfuckinâ hell, simon. what the fuck did you say? doc said she had to stitch up both their hands.â
âdoesnât matter what I say,â simon spoke, eyes still on the captain âthey wonât fuckinâ listen.â
price shook his head. âthatâs not true, ând we both know it,â he sounded tired as he spoke, dark bags under his eyes. he paused for a moment, then spoke again.
âspoke to laswell after you left earlier. she said sheâll try to speed up the transfer process. tryinâ to avoid more fuss, and im not fightinâ it any longer.â
âtheyâre part of our team,â simon spoke, tone rough.
price shook his head. âthey are, but I canât keep doinâ this. canât keep pushinâ off transferinâ because of you lot. it may be better for us, but not for them.â
the room fell quiet. simon inhaled, exhaled. his fists clenched at his sides before quickly unfurling once more.
he didnât have a right to be mad at you for leaving, but he was.
âlaswell say anythinâ else about thaâ transfer?â simon asked.
price leaned back in his chair, arms folded across his chest. ânot much. no word on where or with who, but even if she knew, doubt sheâd tell us. for their sake.â
simon gave a small nod and made to turn, but froze as price spoke again.
âshe did say she didnât know if it would go through. theyâd have to pass another eval.â
they both knew what that meant. if laswell said that, then she didnât believe the transfer would happen. kate wouldnât outwardly say it, but price had known what sheâd meant.
pushing the transfer through wouldnât matter if you couldnât pass a physical and psychological evaluationâ and laswell didnât think you could.
although he wouldnât admit it, price was unsure, too. torture was something that took an incredibly devastating toll on the mind and body.
but torture at the hands of your team? there was no telling the damage that that would do to someone. to you.
an honorable discharge was more likely. and, if that was the case, then your rage would likely grow tenfold.
you career, your livelihood, taken from you by the hands of the men you trusted the most. your family, cutting you up and pushing you out.
damned by your team and your country, regardless of everything youâd done for both of them during your service.
you were just another cog in the machine, one that had been damaged and discarded, and a discharge couldnât make that any clearer.
he thought back to what you had said in the gym earlier, before youâd left.
âyou should have killed me.â
maybe he should have.
thanks to everyone for your patience! also just incase you didnât see my post about itâ
im no longer doing a taglist! my side blog @troiastitans will reblog my works from now on, so if you want to know when I post, follow that account and allow notifications!
as always, thank you for the love! (also I hope you all enjoyed a little peek into simonâs head!)
the 141 x reader fic that you did was so yummy!!! pls make them suffer the wrath of reader and make 141 realise how much they need them when they leave,
your work is so amazing btw and your way with words is simply â¨chefâs kiss⨠(((o(*ďžâ˝ďž*)o)))âĄ
thank you!! hereâs part 3 :)
part one here / part two here / part four here
angry didnât even begin to describe how you felt as you slammed the door to priceâs office behind you.
you were tense, muscles taut and poised to fight. your fists clenched at your sides, blunt nails digging into your palms hard enough to hurt. your jaw was clenched, teeth grinding together as you resisted the urge to march back in there and unleash your fury.
no. not like this. not when you werenât a hundred percent. not when they would still look at you like you were a wounded doe, stumbling around on broken legs.
in the back of your mind, you can hear that psychologist saying âthis anger will eat you alive if you let it. you need to let it out somehow.â
you inhaled, unclenched your fists, and made up your mind. you pulled the iv from your arm, wincing at the pinch of the needle.
you left the iv pole standing there as you made your way to the gym.
the gym was empty when you arrived, which made sense for this time of day. many would be occupied by drills or in the mess hall. others would be sleeping off long nights. you had the place to yourself, and you were grateful for the absence of watchful eyes and sweetened tongues.
you were tired of those who knew nothing acting like they knew something. of those who apologized or asked if you were okay. word spread like wildfire around base, and the subject of your âbetrayalâ had been front-page news since the start of the witch hunt.
the gym door clicked shut behind you, and you surveyed the room. you knew your doctor would have a fit once you returned to the infirmary, and that she probably wouldnât let you out alone again, but you didnât really care.
you needed to let off some steam, and the best way you knew how was with your fists. either you start swinging at a bag or at a certain someoneâs face. the bag wonât be condescending, and that makes your choice easy.
you approach one of the bright red punching bags in the corner. itâs scratched and taped from where someone had busted it open. scars that didnât go away, that wouldnâtâ just like yours.
you huffed. it didnât do any good to start feeling sorry for yourself. you hadnât done anything wrong. your team had.
you stretch your arms out in front of you, fingers interlocking to pop your knuckles. you catch sight of your severed finger, still healing. theyâd recovered what had been chopped off, but hadnât been able to save it.
just another permanent reminder, something to make sure you didnât dare forget. you didnât think you ever would regardless.
you shook out your hands and rolled your shoulders back. fists raised, you angled yourself towards the bag. feet spread, shoulders squared, thumb tucked under your fingers instead of inside. a stance that was second nature after years of sparring and hand-to-hand drills.
the bag was firm when your fist connected with it. you would have been lying if you said it didnât hurt. you punched with the other handâ same results. the time youâd spent confined to an infirmary bed had done a number on you. muscles had atrophied, bones had weakened. the leg youâd suffered a bone-deep cut to shook under your weight.
you didnât care. you kept punching, your breathing picking up as your emotions guided you. sweat dripped into your eyes and rolled down your back. you felt weak, physically and mentally. you hated feeling this way, and so you punched harder.
âslow down,â a voice grumbled from behind you.
you ignored him, continuing to punch the bag. you hadnât heard the door open, nor heard the sound of him approaching, but you would have been surprised if you did.
simon always had a penchant for sneaking up on people, intentionally or not.
âgonna pass out if yâdonât stop,â he said after a minute. you could feel his eyes on you. you ignored him again.
you didnât need to turn around to know he was standing there with his arms crossed, eyes full of something unreadable.
âstop,â he says firmly, and you sense his movement as he surges forward. his hand lands heavily on your shoulder, pulling you back from the punching bag. you heave in a breath before spinning around and punching him in the nose.
simon stumbles back a step, eyes widened slightly. for someone who prided himself on being so observant, he clearly didnât see that coming. it made you feel the tiniest bit smug that youâd caught him off guard for once.
you dropped your hands to your knees then, squeezing your eyes shut as a wave of nausea washed over you. damn the bastard, he had been right. you shouldnât have even been in here in the first place, let alone exerted yourself as much as you had.
your hands were shaking as you tried to pull yourself together. you opened your eyes to see drops of blood on the gym floor, by your feet. you had split your knuckles open.
there were also drops of blood at simonâs feet. you looked up then, slowly straightening your posture. heâd removed his mask, his face bare as he stared at you. blood dripped from his nose.
âgonna have to hit harder than that if yâwant to break it,â he says, and you narrow your eyes at him.
âdid you follow me in here?â
âno.â he says, and youâre giving a mirthless laugh.
âoh, please. im sure price sent you, yeah? youâve always been his little lap dog. he says âjumpâ and you say âhow high,â isnât that right, lieutenant?â
your tone is tense, angry. you throw his title in his face, seeing as heâd been so quick to remind you of yours back in priceâs office.
simon watches you, and you want to tackle him. he had always been quiet, always stoic. youâd been with him for years, but you still didnât think youâd broken down all of his walls.
he was so good at masking his thoughts, his feelings. you werenât. soap had always called you an open book. whenever you were mad or upset, everyone knew it.
no one knew anything about simon unless he wanted them to. it drove you mad then, and it was sure as hell driving you mad now.
âyou need to get back to the infirmary,â he tells you. he wipes the back of his hand under his nose, smearing red across his skin. for a moment, you want to chastise him, reach up and wipe the remnants from his face.
you quickly shake that thought from your head. what is it they sayâ old habits die hard?
these habits would die if you had to strangle each one with your bare hands. anything you harbored for the four men on your team, for the one youâd called yours, was dead and gone.
âfuck off,â you tell him.
âwhy are you so damn stubborn?â he says then, and itâs the first time youâve seen him start to crack since everything had happened. emotions are beginning to leak through his stony exterior, whether he means them to or not.
âyou donât get to tell me what to do anymore. none of you do,â you say, and you take a step forward then, eyes blazing as you stare up at him. ânot after what you did.â
he doesnât speak for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts. his eyes never leave yours.
âit shouldnât have happened like that.â he tells you. you scoff.
âlike that? you mean the four of you torturing me? tying me up and mutilating me like I was just another fucking target?â your voice was rising as you took another step forward, shoving a finger into his chest.
âif Iâd treated you like another target,â he said, tone even. âyou wouldâve been dead.â
âso you showed me mercy, is that it?â you bared your teeth, a hollow laugh escaping your throat. âoh, thank you simon. I really felt that fucking mercy when you cut off my finger, and when you cut through layers of skin to get to bone.â
you inhaled before continuing. âI should be grateful then, right? is that what you want from me? for me to recognize your fucking âmercyâ and take you back? take you all back?â
he just stands there. you can see his jaw clench, but he makes no move to speak. you find it funny that he hasnât even tried to apologize. john, your ever prideful captain, had swallowed his failure and pleaded for your forgiveness.
johnny and kyle would surely have done the same if theyâd had the chance to speak to you, even if they only had a minute.
but simon? simon doesnât. he doesnât outwardly admit his wrongs. he doesnât apologize. doesnât seem sorry, even. you donât know whatâs going on inside his head, but you find yourself not really caring to know.
the fact that he canât bring himself to admit, in blunt words, that he had astronomically fucked up and that he felt even the slightest bit of remorse, told you everything you needed to know.
cold, stoic ghost. you hadnât been afraid of him when youâd first joined the squad, and you werenât afraid of him now.
but back then, youâd wanted to break down those stone walls of his. youâd wanted to be someone he felt safe around, someone who knew him inside and out.
now, youâre packing your time with him into a box in your mind and dumping it into the trash. simon riley means nothing to you now.
âtake your mercy and shove it up your ass,â you tell him. you step back and drop your hand, your eyes still locked on his.
âand by the way,â you say as you start towards the door. he doesnât turn around, doesnât move an inch. itâs as if heâs rooted to the spot.
âyou shouldâve just killed me.â
authorâs note:
not really sure how I feel about this one tbh. I have plans for a part four, but Iâm not quite sure how long Iâll be making this series.
and as for simonâ I want to write an extra part about his thoughts/feelings about everything. let me know if thatâs something youâd be interested in!
anyways, let me know your thoughts please :) (I honestly may end up deleting this and rewriting it when Iâm not tired lol)

that 141 x reader you just did was so good! i need to know what happens next. like after reader is better, do they stay in the military? stay in 141? or do they take a discharge? Iâm not the original ask but it was just so good.
love your writing btw!
thank you! hereâs part two :)
part one here / part three here
you were beginning to hate the infirmary.
the white walls. the moans of pain. the smell of bleach and blood.
the reminder of why you were here. of who put you here.
your friends. your family. your team. john. johnny. kyle. simon.
youâd told the doctor to not let your teammates in, and she had tried, but there was only so much she could do. she couldnât monitor the door all the time, and so a week after waking up from your coma, john price is sitting at your beside once again.
his hands are clasped together, knuckles white with the intensity of his grip. heâs leaning forward, elbows resting on the bed, hands under his chin. his position conveys his regret and worry. he looks like he should be in church, knelt between the pews and spewing silent prayers to a god that isnât listening.
you havenât spoken to him since he sat down ten minutes ago. the second you saw him step inside the infirmary, you knew he was there for you. there to try and speak to you, to apologize.
fuck him and his apologies.
you turned your head to the side, eyes staring at the white curtain separating your bed from the next. you studied the stitching while you listened to him breathe next to you. he hadnât spoken eitherâ just sat down and watched you.
it made your skin crawl, how he thought this was okay. how he thought this would be the way to get back into your good graces.
he clears his throat then, a sound youâve heard a million times before. it makes you want to gag now.
âlove,â his voice is soft, caring. you want to hit him in the jaw.
âcan we talk? please?â
you donât turn over, donât even spare him a glance. you keep your gaze trained on the curtain. the only giveaway that he has your attention is the fists you clench at your sides.
he takes the silence as an invitation, that bastard.
âwhat happenedââ he begins, then grunts. stops. takes a second, then begins again.
âwhat we did,â he says, and you roll your eyes. âit wasnât right. the intel was from a trusted source. weââ he sighs then, and you can tell heâs rubbing his temple. he did that when he was stressed. when he was anxious.
âwe were wrong to believe them over you, love. and imâ im sorry.â
silence ensues. you donât give him any indication that youâve heard what he said. he sighs again, inhaling deeply.
âyouâre still part of this team. johnny and gaz, theyâve been sitting outside this damn room like sentries. can barely pry âem away for drills.â he chuckles then, but itâs sad. pitiful. mournful.
âthereâs nothing we can do to make this right,â he tells you. youâre still mulling over what he said about johnny and gaz. still hung up on the fact that he didnât mention simon at all.
simon, who did the most damage to you, both psychologically and physically. simon, who shared your bed. simon.
simon, who is too much of a coward to face you for his crimes.
âbut we want to try,â price is speaking again. âif youâll let us.â
he stops talking. waits a beat, then two. then, you hear his chair scrape. heâs getting up, and thatâs when you turn your head to face him.
he looks bad. bags under the eyes, skin pale, beard overgrown. you think he deserves this. deserves worse than this. his eyes meet yours, and they widen the tiniest bit at the attention youâre showing him.
your voice is full of venom as you speak.
ânothing,â you seethe, angry tears blurring your vision. âwill ever undo what you did to me. what he did to me.â
price knows youâre talking about simon. the whole team knew you were a thing. hell, when theyâd strapped you to that chair and debated who would âinterrogateâ you, they hadnât even thought to include simon. why would he want to torture the person he loved?
to their surprise, he had volunteered to take point.
âwhen i get out of this bed,â you continue. âim gone. and i never, never, want to see any of you again, or else im putting a fucking bullet between your eyes.â
the captain doesnât speak. you can see the remorse on his face. you couldnât care less about his feelings.
he gives a short nod, and without another word, he turns and leaves the room.
after johnâs visit, no one else tries to visit you. you no longer catch glimpses of kyle or johnny outside the infirmary door. youâre glad theyâre starting to get the hint.
but youâre still getting flowers. you donât know where theyâre coming from. sometimes theyâre dropped off by a nurse, other times they appear in the morning after a restless sleep. thereâs never a note. never anything to suggest who would be leaving them.
you know itâs one of the 141, but you donât know exactly who. you feel certain itâs not simon.
but, unbeknownst to you, it is him. he knows you donât want to see himâ to see any of them. price had told them all about what youâd said to him during your talk.
price had also told them that heâd already started preparing your transfer papers. that had caused an uproar from soap, whoâd quickly been quieted by a saddened price.
simon had expected it. expected worse, actually. he knew that if the roles had been reversed, he wouldnât have been as merciful as you. it made him hate what theyâd done to you so much more.
there had been the tiniest doubt in his mind when all the evidence pointed to you. he hadnât believed it at firstâ and then things became damning. everything pointed to you. trusted sources were pointing their fingers at you, and everyone listened. he had listened.
he had volunteered to torture you because heâd been angry. rage he hadnât felt in years bubbled to the surface of his skin, and he wanted to tear you limb from limb. how dare you come into their livesâ his lifeâ and betray them so substantially?
simon didnât trust easily. he was battered and broken and scarred. shattered and malformed pieces hastily glued back together. he let the team in. let you in. let you see his face. let you into his bed. let you into his fucking heart.
and you turned around and drove a dagger into him. or so he thought.
he thought his anger and actions had been justified. thought he was doing the world a favor by butchering you. but he was wrong. the team was wrong.
he finds himself regretting how he hadnât listened to your pleas, but thereâs nothing he can do about it now.
he knows the chances of you forgiving him, of letting him back into your life, are slim to none. but how could he not at least try?
youâd know each other for years. been together for years. all of it thrown away because he still knew the hurt of betrayal all too well. because it was too easy to fall back into the mindset that it was him against everyone. that the only person he knew, the only one he could rely on, was himself.
so he left flowers. your favorite ones. and he did so without making you face him, without apologizing or groveling. it was the least he owed you.
a month after your coma, you were finally allowed out of the infirmary. you were still healing, skin still tender and bruised. pink, jagged scars lining your skin; eternal reminders of the pain youâd been subjected to.
youâd been given a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, which youâd pulled on with much fuss. every time you struggled or stumbled, you found yourself getting angry. angry at the men who did this to you.
the anger was going to eat you alive, at least thatâs what the psychologist that had been dropping by to see you had said. sheâd told you you need to let it go, and youâd laughed in her face.
how do you let something like this go?
you didnât know. you didnât think you were strong enough to do that. not a good enough person to forgive the men that had carved into you.
once you had dressed, you shuffled out into the hallway. youâd profusely denied an escort, and the doctor had reluctantly acquiesced. sheâd let you go, with just the promise that youâd keep your iv hooked in.
so here you were, trudging down the halls of the base, iv pole rattling along behind you.
you could feel eyes on you, but no one dared to get too close. you were glad. you didnât want more empty apologies and sympathetic words.
you still remembered the way to priceâs office like the back of your hand. you doubted youâd ever forget it.
time and time again youâd found yourself here. sometimes, getting reprimanded. others, congratulated. a few times youâd shown up in tears, and price had let you in without a word.
now you were standing outside his door, trying to contain the rage in your veins.
you raised a hand. knocked once, firm and loud.
âcome in!â price called from inside.
you were already twisting the door knob, pushing into the room.
your eyes found price first. he was leaning against his desk, arms crossed over his chest. his hat was absent from his head, instead resting beside him on the desk.
and then you noticed simon.
he was wearing all black. his hands were covered, bones decorating the black gloves. gloves youâd seen many times before. gloves that had been pressed to gunshots, trying to stop the bleeding.
the lower half of his face was covered, allowing you to see from his eyes up. his sandy blonde hair was ruffled.
you quickly turned your attention back to price.
âlove, what are you doinâ here? you should be in bedââ he began, but you waved a hand as you stepped further into the room. you pulled your iv pole in behind you, then kicked the door shut.
âdonât talk, just listen. i still mean what i said when you came to visit. the only reason im here right now is because you havenât put in for my fucking transfer.â you hissed.
the captainâs eyes widened, his face taking on a sheepish expression at the revelation that heâd been caught. simon stood quietly beside him, eyes trained on you. you ignored him.
âlove, i didnât want to do anything before you were readyââ he began. you cut him off.
âbullshit! you didnât want to do anything because you donât want me to leave. you want me to forgive you, right? hear you all out? come back and be a happy little family again?â
the room fell eerily silent as you stared at the captain. your heart was roaring in your ears.
âput in the fucking transfer, john.â you finished.
he reluctantly nodded. he inhaled, his eyes glancing at his lieutenant briefly, before he spoke again.
âof course, love. âm sorry.â
you didnât say anything else. you turned to go, your back to the men, when simonâs voice cut through the air.
âyou should be respectful to your captain, sergeant.â
you froze as you took in his words. was he fucking serious?
you didnât turn around. you trained your eyes on the door as you spoke words through gritted teeth.
âyou should watch your tongue, lieutenant, before I fucking cut it off.â
with that, you pulled open the door and stepped into the hallway, slamming it loudly behind you.
authorâs note:
apologies for the wait! I hope everyone enjoyed! (this is being posted before proofreading, so I hope itâs okayâ Iâll read through it later, itâs just late and im tired lol)
Simon x Reader whose already work with TF 141 for a pretty long time. And one day, there's a traitor around the base, leaking their information. All of the proof are leading to reader but reader always deny it! And they interrogated reader, and reader always deny it! And he's (with other 141 members, of course, but it mostly him) do their torture methods to get information out of reader. They keep doing it until someday, the real traitor finally captured!
And make the reader traumatized, pls. Like, she would have trust issues, trauma, and others. She wouldn't forgive them, tho.
ooooo the angst. had to sit on this one for a few days before I wrote something, but here goes nothing.
part two here! / part three here
when you blink open your eyes, the room is dimly lit. itâs silent save for the sounds of your labored breathing.
you mustâve passed out. one second johnnyâ a man youâd known for yearsâwas slicing into your skin with a knife. the next, youâre staring into an empty room.
your hands jerk up involuntarily. still bound. the rope holding them to the arms of the chair have rubbed them raw. the skin is bright red and bloody. it makes you grit your teeth.
you look down at your lap, taking inventory of the parts of your body you can see. large gashes break up the fabric of your tac pants. the blood surrounding the deep wounds is dry and crusty.
one of the cuts looks like itâs getting infected. you swear you can see bone.
youâd taken this kind of suffering before. been capture by enemies, held and tortured and pushed to the brink of death. this was different. this was being done by your team. men youâd bled with. cried with. laughed with.
one youâd even slept with. the same one you loved. the one you called yours.
the door to the room swung open, hitting the wall with a metal thud. your head slowly lifts, eyes squinting to see him. by his stature, you know itâs simon.
he doesnât bother shutting the door behind him. instead, he walks towards you slowly. as he comes closer, can make out his eyes in the sea of dark paint he smears around them. the same paint youâd helped him apply a time or two.
âback for more?â you say, and itâs meant to sound sarcastic, but all it sounds like is pitiful. your voice cracks, and pain seeps into your tone.
the first rule theyâd taught you about scenarios like this was to never let the enemy know itâs working. never let them know that theyâre hurting youâ that theyâre slowly wearing down your defenses.
well, youâd just broken that rule, and you hadnât even meant to.
you didnât know how long youâd been tied up, subjected to torture by men you had once called your family. all because a fucking liar whispered your name into their ears. all because they fucking believed it.
apparently the years meant nothing to them. to him, least of all, considering heâd done more damage to you than the rest of them.
simon comes to a stop in front of you. his hands are empty by his sides, but thatâs not reassuring. thereâs a table full of weapons off to the side. he would have his pick of the litter.
âready to talk yet?â he says, and his voice is gruff. his tone is hollow. heâs speaking to you the same way heâd spoken to countless enemies. it makes you sick.
âfuck you, simon,â you spit out.
the betrayal of john, gaz, and johnny had hurt. but simonâs betrayal? that was enough to almost put you in the ground.
youâd stopped pleading with them the second they tied you to the chair. now, you were angry. furious. rage filled your veins, and if you werenât beaten to all hell, youâd find a way out of these fucking restraints and strangle the man in front of you to death.
the man you loved. youâd thought you meant something to him, but apparently notâ because who tortures someone they love?
âif you talk,â he ignores your outburst. âitâll be easier. quick.â
âfuck. you.â you enunciate the words, your jaw impossibly tight as you grit your teeth. âim not the fucking rat.â
âall the evidence,â he starts as he disappears from your vision. you know heâs going to pick his weapon of the hour. you force yourself not to shudder.
âpoints to you.â
âtake that bullshit evidence and shove it up your ass, riley,â you seethe, ropes pulling taut as you lean forward in the chair.
heâs back in your line of sight now, brandishing a large knife.
âyouâre only making it harder on yourself, love,â he tuts, and then heâs swinging the knife down, right onto one of your fingers.
you scream as the blade cuts right through skin and bone. your teeth dig into your lip, drawing blood as you refuse to give him more of a reaction. it fucking hurts, but youâll be damned if you let yourself cry.
âfeel like talking now?â he asks, watching as half of your left pinky finger falls to the floor.
âor should we take off another?â
you look up at him, hoping he can see the hatred in your eyes as you speak your next words. âyou could take the fucking hand off and Iâd still have nothing to tell you.â
âletâs see how true that is then, eh?â he replies, and raises the knife again. heâs about to swing, when someone comes running into the room.
âghost!â
itâs johnny. heâs obviously winded as he stops beside simon, dropping his hands to his knees as he struggles for breath.
âwhat, mactavish? im busy.â
âtheyâreââ he gasps. âtheyâre notâ theâ rat.â he says between breaths.
the room goes impossibly still. so quiet you swear you could hear the menâs heartbeats (or maybe that pounding in your ears was your own).
âyou sure?â simonâs voice is softer as he lowers the knife and turns to johnny. the younger man nods, his eyes trained on you. you can see the regret in them, the sorrow.
âitâs fucking shepard.â
itâs not funny, but at the news, you burst into laughter. the men stare at you in confusion, but you canât stop.
youâre laughing so hard youâre crying, and theyâre just standing there.
âare you alrighâ?â johnnyâs asking as he moves towards you. heâs fully recovered his breath now, and he drops to a crouch to be eye level with you.
you donât answerâ you canât. you keep laughing. distantly, you hear the knife simon was holding clatter to the ground. can just make out the sound of more footsteps out in the hallway, coming towards the room.
you pass out.
when you wake up again, youâre in the infirmary. your eyes open slowly, adjusting to the bright fluorescent lights.
âeasy, love,â a voice to your right drawls.
your eyes are fully open now. you look down at yourself, noticing the lack of bindings. noticing the iv taped to your arm, the stitched cuts, the black and blue bruises, the missing fingernails and missing finger.
the person sitting next to you clears his throat. thatâs when you look up and meet the eyes of your captain.
your captain. the man who was supposed to lead you, to keep you safe. what a fucking joke. heâd started the damn witch hunt.
âhow dâyou feel?â he asks, his words soft, like heâs trying not to scare off a timid animal.
you stare at him for a beat. then two. then youâre moving, pulling the iv from your arm and shakily pushing yourself up in the bed. price is telling you to stop, reaching out to push you back down, but you slap at his hands.
âget the fuck off me!â you shout, and that takes him aback. he stops, frozen, as he watches you shift in the bed. you throw your legs over the side of it and prepare yourself to stand.
âyou really shouldnâtââ he begins after heâs regained his senses, but you pay him no mind. you place your feet on the ground and start to stand. your legs wobble, almost give out, but youâre able to stand. barely.
âshut up,â you growl, stumbling forward and towards the exit. heâs moving to cut you off, and you slide him a gaze thatâs sharper than a knife. âand leave me the fuck alone.â
he halts again. he seems almost scared of youâ but that canât be right. even on your best days, he would still beat you in hand-to-hand combat.
heâs not scared of your threats or your frail body. heâs scared of what heâs done to you.
just then, johnny and gaz come through the infirmary doors.
âcap, yâalright? we heard yellinâââ johnny begins, but his mouth snaps shut at the sight of you out of bed.
youâre heaving from your spot next to the bed. your legs are shaking violently, threatening to give out any second. you feel nauseous and numb.
âletâs get you back into bed,â gaz says, and he starts towards you, but you stop him as your gaze snaps to his.
âdonât come any fucking closer. any of you.â
âbonnie,â johnny murmurs. he sounds miserable, but you donât care. donât give a fuck about how any of them feel.
âdonât. im leaving,â you grunt out, moving a foot forward slowly. youâd be damned if you fell in front of them.
âyou canât, love. youâre in no shape to be walking.â john says, and you snarl.
âand whose fault is that?â
the men stay silent as they watch you slowly shuffle towards the foot of the bed. youâre bracing yourself to walk on your own when simon walks in.
âget back in bed,â his tone is blunt. you ignore him.
you remove your hand from the bed, move to take a step forward without support, and you begin to crumple to the floor.
simon moves forward, quick as a cat, and catches you. he lifts you into his arms bridal style, and youâre screaming hysterically. your limbs are flailing the best they can in such a battered state. youâre in fight-or-flight mode, your body betraying your desire to put up a steely front.
your palms slap against simonâs upper body and his masked face. he gives no reaction. he doesnât say anything. the others are watching the exchange silently. the room is buzzing with tension.
âget off me!â you screech, landing a slap to simonâs cheek. âlet meâ let me go! let me go!â youâre gasping for breath, tears streaming down your cheeks. youâre panicking. your heart feels like itâs going to beat out of your chest.
âput me down! getâ getâ off me! stopââ you sob.
the doctor rushes into the room then, yelling at the men for allowing you out of bed. you canât make out what sheâs saying over the rush of blood in your ears. you feel light-headed. you canât breathe.
âput them down, now!â the doctor yells at simon. âtheyâre having a panic attackâ I thought I told you four to stay away from them? theyâre too vulnerable right nowââ the doctor is chastising them as simon places you back in the bed.
spots are dancing in your vision. you donât even feel it when the doctor sticks another needle into your arm. the words being exchanged above your head are muffled. itâs like youâre underwater.
johnâs face comes into view, then johnnyâs, then gazâs. as your eyes start to close, you notice the only face you donât see again is simonâs.
when you wake up again, itâs been two weeks.
the doctor had put you into a medically induced coma to allow your more serious wounds time to heal, without risking another episode. unbeknownst to you, the members of your team had stayed by your bedside almost the entire timeâ minus simon. he hadnât come within ten feet of the infirmary since the day of your panic attack.
thereâs fresh flowers on the bedside table. a steady beeping of the heart monitor. a fuzzy feeling in your head.
it feels like a dream, all of it does. none of it feels real as you settle into your body again. but then the hurt starts, and you remember the truth.
your family betrayed you. your lover betrayed you. they locked you up and tortured you. they didnât believe you.
when the doctor came to your side to check your iv, she smiled.
âhowâre you feeling?â
you look up at her, and it takes a moment for you to speak.
âdonât,â you begin. your mouth feels like itâs full of cotton. âdonât let themâŚin here. donâtâŚwanna see them.â
the doctor nods in understanding, and she doesnât say anything else to you. she turns and walks out of the room.
the door clicks shut behind her. she lets out a sigh before turning around to face the three men.
âthey donât want to see you.â she tells them, and their expressions drop. they donât protest, and like wounded puppies, they walk off.
no one else comes to check on you for a few hours.
youâre in and out of consciousnessâ canât tell whatâs real and whatâs a dream. flashes of your torture come back to you. flashes of a smile. of a scarred face. of hands on your hips andâ
you crack your eyes open, and the room is dark. the only light is the blinking of some of the machines. it illuminates the room enough to allow you to see a large, dark figure slip from the room. the door clicks shut so quietly itâs almost imperceptible.
thatâs when you notice fresh flowers on the bedside table.
your eyes start to droop once more, and you chalk up whatever you just saw to a dream, while simon exhales heavily on the other side of the infirmary door.
ââââââââââââââââ
authors note:
I hope this alright! itâs one in the morning (and Iâm half asleep writing this) so I apologize for the errors that are most likely present, and the sense this most likely lacks. I feel like I could write a whole book about this idea, but im cutting myself off to sleep lol.
thank you for the ask, I hope I did your idea justice. đŤś
