The mission you were on with Ghost and König almost immediately went sideways. Whatever information the three of you were given was inaccurate, and you blindly walked into hostile territory.
Now you're stuck in a tight closet with the two of them. To make matters worse, you're pinned between them.
"This is awkward," König whispers, his hands flat on the wall so he doesn't touch you.
"Shut up," Ghost grumbles, his hands on your hips holding you still
he rubs his eyes, he was to annoyed to say anything, his name was thunder, one of the lead soldiers of unit 141 can you both just shut up so we dont get found?
(Ghost glares at you.) "Make us."
he glares and grins and in a tone that can make even ghost submit he says oh~ so you want me to make you be quiet~?
(Ghost snorts. "Try it.") (König frowns down at you. You don't think he's buying it either.)
a few moments later, both ghost and konig are gagged with cloth, and thunder had earbuds in, finally happy that both of them had shut up
(Ghost tries to struggle free, making things worse as you squirm against him.) (König snickers into his gag, unable to hear it himself.)
he ignores them as he scrolls through his phone unbelivable. im missing dinner with my girlfriend and insted im stuck with the 2 dumbest people i know, no offence konig
(König snorts derisively, then whispers toward your face, "I might not be able to say anything back... but I really doubt he's stupid enough to miss date night over this... probably just saying that to make us feel better... ")
he glares at him, his expression saying, shut up, or in a minuet you will be unconscious and gagged
(König tilts his head, watching you. Then rolls his eyes, murmuring, "...Fine, whatever..." -- though not softly enough that anyone would mistake it for being said quietly on purpose.)
he rolls his eyes and turns back to ghost you done being a dumbass?
(Ghost growls at you, clearly unhappy about having been called out like that... But finally manages to let go of you.)
"Sorry," he grumbles, rubbing his palms on his thighs before clenching and unclenching his fists. Shadows dance across the walls above you as he breathes heavily through his nose, trying to calm down.
he ungaggs the both of them
(Ghost spits out his gag and scrubs at his face with one hand.) "Yeah, sorry. You're right. I shouldn't have done that." He shakes his head. "Too much testosterone." (König, meanwhile, coughs violently, then glares daggers up at you as he pulls the gag from his mouth. "I don't suppose there was a good reason to do it, but..." He pauses to clear his throat. "You've still got a lot of explaining to do when we get back to base." His voice drips with accusation.)
he pulls out a combat knife and sharpens it as they sit there will you both shut up. i out rank both of you. not just in posistion but in kills to.
(Ghost snorts softly at your comment about ranks. Then looks over at König, who merely scoffs.)
"Fine," *Ghost says curtly, sitting back against the wall. "Whatever you say, Bossman." --though he rolls his eyes at the last part-- (König glances sidelong at him, lips twitching into a faint smirk. He draws in a deep breath and lets it out slowly before replying evenly, "We'll see how funny it is after we get through this mission." His gaze drifts off toward the entrance as he absently taps a finger against one kneecap.)
he falls asleep to the music he is listening to
(Ghost stretches his arms over his head, yawns, then meets your eyes. "What are you lookin' at?" He scoffs lightly. "I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway." --the corners of his mouth quirk up ever-so-slightly--)
König, meanwhile, watches the others' interaction with interest. After a moment, he clears his throat and asks curiously, "So... Did something happen between you two earlier? You seem awfully..." --he searches for the right word--"civil" all of a sudden.
but thunder is asleep
Ghost looks at him askance. "What do you mean?" he says carefully, one eyebrow raised. There's a certain edge to his voice that suggests he doesn't appreciate being put on the spot like this.
"Oh, nothing," König says quickly, waving off the comment. "Just wondering. No need to worry about it." The corner of his mouth twitches slightly. "Besides, we have more important things to discuss, don't we?"
Ghost frowns, though it seems mostly directed inward as he rubs his forehead. "Yeah... I suppose," he grumbles noncommittally. After a moment's hesitation, he turns back toward the entrance and begins counting silently under his breath, watching for any signs of movement outside the closet.
his tail twitched, yes, thunder was an anthro, but a nightcrawler, the anthro version of a cloaker, he had jet black fur, and his entire millitary garb, body armor included, was a deep midnight black, thunder snored as ghost and knoig stared in surprise at his tail
König glances over at the sleeping man. He hmms softly before turning back to you. "Think anyone would notice if we, ah... got close? Just to talk? One on one, I mean." His voice drops into a lower register as he meets your gaze expectantly.
he remains asleep as ghost and konig talk
"I wouldn't be opposed to that," Ghost says softly, glancing at Thunder again. "But I'm not sure what kind of shape you're in after that earbud thing..." --his eyes dart back to yours-- "...or whether you really want to hear what I have to say."
a few moments later, thunder exits the closet, pilfers a few energy drinks from the enemies and then returns to the closet and his spot in between ghost and konig
Ghost narrows his eyes slightly. "Fine by me if you still wanna talk. Whatever you wanna get off your chest, I'll listen." --His tone is matter-of-fact, but there's something almost guarded about it too--
König looks thoughtful. "...All right, then. Um... well, I guess... I just wanted to say sorry for how I acted earlier. And that thing with the earbuds? That was just messing with you because..." He shrugs helplessly. "...because we're here, and it seemed like the thing to do." His cheeks flush a little beneath his layer of camo paint as he finishes speaking.
thunder sighs and switches spots with konig so that konig and ghost can talk without him in the way, once he sits back down, thunder puts his earbuds back in, turns up music, opens and enrgy drink, and chuges it, he was tired from lack of sleep
"No worries," Ghost mutters gruffly. Then after a beat, he adds, "So, uh... How did we end up here anyway?" --his voice sounds genuinely curious rather than accusatory. --"I mean, the intel seemed solid enough, but..." --he trails off, looking for further explanation in your eyes.
"You know how it goes," König says with a small shrug. "They send us out on missions, and we don't always get all the information. Besides, this is our first time working together like this; I guess we were all still feeling each other out." He pauses, then adds with a faint smile, "But now we're here, so let's just make the best of it, huh?"
thunder had fallen asleep, tired from lack of sleep
"Yeah, you're right," Ghost grumbles, though there's a hint of reluctance in his tone. He looks thoughtful for a moment before speaking again. "Look, about earlier... It's just that we've all been through some rough stuff lately, and tensions are running high. I'm willing to work with you, though. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here." His expression softens slightly as he meets your gaze sincerely.
König nods, studying Ghost's face carefully. "Thanks, man. I appreciate that," he murmurs after a moment. There's a pause before he continues, "And about tonight... We can handle this mission without you, but if you want in, we could use the extra help. It's your call." --his voice carries an unspoken warning beneath its surface--
The th
thunder glowers and says you think you two have had it rough? ive been suspected of selling intel to the enemy. yet im innocent.
"I'd be careful with that kinda talk, Soap," Ghost warns quietly. "Especially when someone like him" --he glances at you-- "is listening." König nods in agreement, his expression serious. "Besides, you know damn well we wouldn't trust anyone else with this sort of thing. And even if they did come at us with charges like that, we'd clear your name personally."
"Yeah, no worries there, buddy," Konig adds gruffly. "We got your six." Though there's something almost wistful in the way he says it, as if there's more going on behind the curtain than just mere camaraderie.
thunder's eyes narrow at that. he growls under his breath and he puts his earbuds back in
König raises an eyebrow but doesn't push further. Instead, he shrugs casually. "Hey, no hard feelings, right? We're all just doing our jobs here." He glances over at Thunder again, then looks back at Ghost. "So, what do you say? You in?"
he ignores them
A beat passes as Ghost studies you carefully. Then, he nods slowly. "All right, I'm in." His voice is steady, but there's an underlying hint of determination to it. "Let's get this done."
König gives a grin that's equal parts relieved and excited. "Excellent!" He claps Ghost on the shoulder. "Now, the first thing we need to do--" --He's interrupted by movement outside the closet--
Thunder snorts loudly, shaking his head and trying to stifle a laugh. "You two," he mutters between chuckles. "Always so serious."
