You had left the Sorcerers' Society feeling quite flustered, but also extremely pleased with yourself. Take that Solomon. You grin. In all the excitement of the following days, you'd forgotten about the rumour you had accidentally spread around the Devildom. Perhaps you shouldn't've pretended to be Archangel Michael to gain entry....
💙💚BARBATOS💚💙
Finds out about the rumours relatively quickly, Little D No.2 sees him nearly dropping a plate before catching it with his tail. He was sworn to secrecy.
Poor Little D No.2
His first thought is shock, his second thought is.
'What did you do MC?'
smiling he dials your number on his DDD.
You were in the middle of doing homework, or rather, sitting at your desk staring at your homework when Barbatos called.
"Hiya Barbs!" You grin into your DDD.
"Hello MC." You can hear the Butler's smile through the phone.
"What's got you calling Barbie?"
"There have been some rumours of a certian bastard sorcerer and Archangel in a romantic relationship...you wouldn't happen to know anything of it?"
You laugh. "My assassination attempt went wrong."
Barbatos lets out a small chuckle along with you. "I can't say Solomon doesn't deserve it."
You pause.
"Barbs?"
"Yes, MC?"
"Would you maybe wanna...go to the next Devildom Carnival with me?" You mumble into the phone, but he catches it. Thankfully, he was feeling nice, and did not teasingly ask you to repeat it.
"Of course I would MC," Barbatos tone softens, smile visible in his voice. "Perhaps you can tell me more of this assassination attempt going aray?"
"It'd be my pleasure Barbie."
❤️❤️DIAVOLO❤️❤️
Barbatos tells him.
Remember the sticker incident? Yeah. Diavolo laughs when he hears about it
This could be a great help in uniting the 3 realms!!!
And hey, if someone commissions Asmo to make stickers of Michael x Solomon, dont look at Diavolo who is very suspiciously whistling innocently.
"Hi Asmo!" Lord Diavolo steps out from the shadows.
Asmodeus shrieks, loosing all colour in his face before gaining it back again and grinning excitedly." Diavolo!
What are you doing in my room?~"
Diavolo shooshes him, pale golden eyes widening as he looks around the Avatar of Lust's room. "Not so loud."
After deeming it safe enough, the Demon Prince continues, "I snuck away from Barbatos"
Asmo makes a noise of understanding, he looks up at the other through foxlike eyes. "So what can I do for you Dia? ~"
The Prince smiles ear to ear. "Remember the stickers you made of me and Lucifer. Well, I'd like to commission something."
Asmodeus gasps excitedly, moving a stray champagne coloured lock from his forehead, he grabs his bejeweled pen and journal.
"Of course! We can discuss pricing later on! First things first! What would you like?~"
"Well..." Diavolo lets out a booming laugh, "Maybe something quite similar to the stickers of me and Lucifer, except with Michael and Solomon?"
Asmodeus sets his pen and sketchbook down, looking up at the
Devildom's present goofball and future ruler. "Y'know what, Diavolo?" He smirks mischievously. "It's on the house."
Diavolo pouts, "At least let me buy you Majolish's new line of clothes."
"Awww!~ If I had a ring that I didn't want to keep for myself I'd propose to you!~"
Diavolo laughs. These stickers were going to be amazing.

Haha L Solomon
Knows it's fake from the moment she hears it.
Upset she didn't think to start it....but when she finds out from Satan you had a hand in it?
Damn bbg she's about to have your hand in marriage😏
You were just trying to walk home from RAD, having finally gotten a moment of peace from your idiots when an extremely loud 'VROOOM' startles you.
A black motorcycle with pink accents traverses the streets of the Devildom like it's attempting to audition for Fast and Furious, before going rogue and coming straight towards you.
Scared, you start to sprint, alas, even as an angel,you can't outrun motorcycles. You don't wanna die! The mystery rider drives beside your sprinting, catching up to you before reaching their leather gloved hands out and;
YOINK!
The motorcyclist pulls you flush against their chest, holding you there with one arm as they use the other to steer.
You've been kidnapped by a motorcyclist who thinks they're in GTA. Great. Being kidnapped by a crazed motorcyclist before GTA 6....actually, maybe this was GTA 6.
"As much as I'd love to hear your screams in a different context MC, can you stop screaming?" A voice asks through the Motorcycle helmet, you immediately stop squirming to get out of the Motorcyclist's arms.
"Thirteen?!"
She laughs, "Awww, I love it when you say my name!" You drive in relative silence for a while until she reaches a small cafe. She stops the bike and takes her helmet off, her long ombre hair is tied in a ponytail, she takes out the bauble and lets it fall down.
Bloodied emerald eyes lock onto yours as she pulls you in for a kiss. "What's this about you dying and not giving me your soul...." She says in mock sadness before jumping off of the motorcycle, helping a dazed you to your feet. "No bother!" She flirts, tucking a stray hair away from your face, "You can just give me your soul, and your heart, and your body, and your mind!"
You blush. "W-why are you in the Devildom Tee?"
"Well a certain someone-" She pinches your cheek, "made up a fabulous rumour about that Rat-Bastard! So I'm here to give them a lovely little dinner date and my hand in marriage as a reward!"
"Excuse me? Could you repeat that?!" You ask, heart racing.
Thirteen just laughs and gives you a kiss that leaves you breathless, a soft blush of her own showing up on her porcelain skin.
You walked out of your impromptu unofficial kidnapping dinner date a married MC.
Time to go to Vegas to make it official!
💜💜MEPHISTOPHELES💜💜
The man found out because you told him.
He is not impressed. Couldn't you have made up a rumour about Lucifer dating someone?!
No MC, this is a serious newspaper! He is not posting gossip. Or advertising fanfictions. Especially ones with a name like that!
What do you mean Lord Diavolo would 'want you to do it, Mephisto!!' are you trying to emotionally blackmail him?!
"Pleaseeeee!"
"No."
You try again. "Mephisto pleaseeeeeee?"
He gives you a rather rude look. Damn, rich people really were good at looking at people like they were dirt on their shoes.
"I won't ask for anything ever again!"
"You will, and the answer is still no MC." He glares at you. Pear green eyes filled with annoyance. "The RAD newspaper is sacred! I'm not posting fanfiction on there! We are a serious organisation!"
"You post popularity polls." You deadpan. "This is why I hate rich people."
"Let me go wipe my tears with my various stacks of grimm lying around. Speaking of which, how did you get into my house, MC?"
You grin sheepishly. "No comment!"
"MC."
"Your little brother let me in! He's very nice, unlike you! Now please I'm begging you!"
Mephisto raises an eyebrow. "You don't look like you're begging."
"I'm not getting down on my knees. I'm going to piss in your cereal."
Mephistopheles scoffs. "I don't eat cereal. That's poor people behaviour."
You sniffle, deciding that the best course of action would be to annoy him. "You know, you're acting like Lucifer right now! Not letting me post this in the Newspaper."
Mephisto waggles his finger at you, "Send me a Devilmail of what you want included later."
"Yay!" You cheer. Satan was going to be so happy when he found out you managed to get your fanfic mentioned in the RAD Newspaper!
🩵🩵SIMEON 🩵🩵
He finds out after you print out the published parts of the fanfiction you and Satan wrote.
He's an author after all! What better person to get constructive criticism from?!
Someone please save this poor man.
Solomon looked up at Michael with dull eyes devoid of emotion, just previously they had shone with tears, now they were just dead. A graveyard of feeling.
"Take it back Michael." The sorcerer mutters, but Michael heard him clearly. "What you said about Humankind...take it back!"
"It's the truth Solomon!" Michael raises his voice, the rain dropping like bullets against the windows of Cocytus Hall.
"I can't do this anymore!" Solomon blurts out, before turning on his heel, cape flapping, as he runs out of the door, into the storm outside, his arms cover tear-stricken his face.
"Solomon wait!" Michael races out after him braving the-
"MC..." Simeon looks up at you, he takes his reading glasses off and gently sets the paper down, attempting to avoid looking at anything else written on it. "MC, what is this?"
"Art." You nod seriously.
"It is good writing MC, but, why?"
"Why not?" You tilt your head.
"With all the love in my heart, darling, I'm forcing myself to forget this story's existence."
You pat Simeon's back. "That's probably for the best Simmy."
🤎🤎RAPHAEL 🤎🤎
Solomon? Michael was going out with Solomon?
This worked out great for him actually, this meant he could eat Solomon's food more often. How delicious!
Disappointed when he finds out the rumours aren't true.
"Raphael for the last time, do I look like the type of person that would date Solomon?!" Michael says exasperatedly, covering his face with his hands and fake sobbing. Drama king.
"You are a bit odd. Are you sure you're not dating him? I won't judge you, Michael, I respect you a lot." Raphael nods seriously.
"I am not dating Solomon."
Raphael pouts, "I see. Have you considered dating Solomon?"
Michael grabs a pillow and screams into it.
🖤🖤SOLOMON🖤🖤
Finds out through Asmo
Is that a fanficiton, MC?
Two can play at this game.
You enter your room when you feel a hand go over your mouth. You attempt to scream, but seeing as there's a hand over your mouth, it doesn't exactly go very well for you.
"Relax Mc, It's just me." You turn your head around to see Solomon and that signature sneaky smile on his face.
You scream louder.
He chuckles and mutters a few words, all of a sudden you feel very sleepy....
Hours later, you wake up on your bed, now around 3 feet tall and with familiar pink wool, your hands and feet are now hooves, beside you Solomon had been oh so kind as to leave you a note.
Cant write Fanfiction if you don't have hands.
Jokes on him. You're a co-author.
🩵🤍LUKE🤍🩵
hears some demons talking about it at RAD while he´s in Devildom history
Michael are Solomon are DATING??!!!
LIKE THE THING PEOPLE DO BEFORE THEY GET MARRIED??!!
Michael and Solomon are getting MARRIED??!!
Is Solomon his dad now?
Luckily for Luke and Unluckily for Michael, Michael is still in the Devildom, so when Luke gets home, he goes to ask Michael about it.
Sounds of sizzling and chopping can be heard from the kitchen in Purgatory Hall, and thankfully, it's not Solomon.
Michael hums as he expertly dices the onions up and puts them into the blender with the tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. His long golden hair had been haphazardly thrown into a plait, small curls that didn't feel like conforming popping out here and there, sauce stains found themselves a home on his dark skin, he stuck his tongue out in concentration.
Frozen meatballs had been left out to thaw, and now the Archangel was making the vegetables in the sauce so they'd undetectable to a certain fussy young angel.
"Michael?" The young angel in question calls out in the doorway resulting in Michael exclaiming something that sounded like 'GAH!' and attempting to hide Luke's view of the blender.
"Hiya Lukey!" Michael grins awkwardly. "What's up with you today? Haha."
Now long used to Michael's strangeness, Luke pays it no mind. "Michael, I have a question."
The archangel turns the various pans on the stove to the lowest heat before sitting on a stool on the kitchen island and pulling Luke up to sit on his knee. "What's up Kiddo?" He grins, tilting his head at the boy.
Luke fiddles with his thumbs, his blue eyes meeting Michael's red ones. "Is it true you and Solomon are getting married?"
Michael's smile drops.
He pats Luke's blond hair, "No Lukey, me and Solomon are not getting married, nor are we in a relationship."
Luke's face flushes, he clenches his tiny fists. "Those demons! Making up lies!"
Michael shakes the image of you from his mind. "Yeah. Demons. Yup!"
lads im gonna be honest here i havent met mephsitles or hwoever u spell it a lot in game (as well as thirteen and raphael) so apologies if theyre really ooc😰

Part 11
<CUE FLASHBACK>
Siberia, Russia, October 12 2010 Day 3-
The storm was making it difficult to see where you were going; the harsh sharp wind was piercing through your morf snood, cold needles prick your skin. You breathe out, the moisture cooling the cold around your mouth.
"Yer drifting right Blue, come to your left a bit" The Captain said over the radio
Looking over to your left you could no longer make out the silhouette of the Captain.
"Copy Cap" You say back and change your direction walking left, you see the outline of the Captain emerge.
"Stick close, we are nearly there" He said over the radio again
"Yes sir"
Both of you walked, slightly crouched. The storm bringing in snow, being the perfect cover for the two soldiers infiltrating the base.
Up ahead you see barbed wire fencing appear, the silhouette of the buildings of the base coming into view.
The Captain puts his hand up, signalling you to stop, you do so.
"Here we are Blue" He says
"Hanger on the right hand-side of the tarmac Cap?" you say
"Aye, make our way through to the left and head to the tarmac where the MiGs are."
"Copy Cap"
The Captain crouched down, looking left and right, and you followed him
"Blue, yer nervous?" The Captain says
You look at the back of his head, he doesn't turn, because you know he's looking on the look out.
"Staying focused Cap" You respond, trying to keep a cool demeanour.
"It's alrigh' to be nervous" The Captain teased
"Nervousness produces adrenaline, which is keeping me on high alert for any Russians sir"
The Captain chuckled through the radio
"Aye, yer nervous" he said "Yer got me, so yer'll good" The Captain added
You laugh back "Aye Cap" you mimic his Scottish accent which earned another chuckle over the radio.
"This is Major Perov! Come up with your hands...."
The hiss of that memory electrified your whole body awake. Hot sweats lathered your body, your baggy t-shirt clung to your back and chest making those parts of your t-shirt damp. You can smell the sweat coming off you as you turn to lie on your front.
Not another dream like that again You think, groaning into the pillow. The sticky sweat had seeped through your t-shirt and onto the bed. Running your hand through your hair and down the nape of neck, you could feel the droplets resting on the surface of your skin as they were squashed against your fingertips.
Gross
Getting up, you sit crossed legged on the bed, the sweat on your body going from hot to cold. You shiver. Grabbing the duvet you wrap it around you. You feel the cold within your marrow.
You grab your phone. It was 3:46am. Laying back down on the bed all snuggled with your blanket and sweat ridden shirt. Pondering at the thought of going back to sleep. The bad odour coming off you made you abandon the thought.
Unraveling yourself from the blanket you head to the bathroom, turning the shower on and wait for it to get warm. Taking off your shirt, still damp with sweat and chucking it in the laundry basket. Catching your naked body briefly in the mirror.
Your torso a lighter shade of brown than your arms and neck. You turn your body admiring the right side of your arm and shoulder, flexing the muscles under the skin. The bullet scar curved over the top of your shoulder, the black humerus bone tattoo standing out. These markings make you, you.
The mirror began to steam up from the heat of the shower, stepping in, bracing yourself for the onslaught of hot water droplets that somehow pierced into your skin and warmed your bones directly.
Once you dried yourself and got ready it was 4:26 am, you were hungry but the mess hall wouldn't be open. Price did say he had a small kitchenette next to his office you could use. In your second drawer you grab a mug along with a small bag that contained your emergency stash of tea, sugar and milk sachets. You hoped Price would have fresh milk and tea, but you brought yours just in case.
You put on a black hoodie over your clean grey shirt that was tucked in your black joggers, trying to keep you warm, and your trainers, walking out with your mug, whilst stuffing the your home tea kit in the large pocket of your hoodie.
Damp strands of hair clung to your face as you walked to the kitchenette, putting your AirPods and playing music to drown out of the echo of your dream.
Meanwhile in Price's kitchenette/break room, Simon sat on the sofa, head laying back with a cup of chamomile and lavender tea, it was the smell of this brewed tea that helped calm him from another restless night, he held the mug close to his chest, giving warmth to his heart.
The steam from the mug drifted to his naked face, his mask hitched above his brows. He brought the mug to his lips and took a sip of the tea, savouring the warm bitterness of the lavender and sweetness of the honey. His ears perked at the sound of approaching footsteps outside the break room, he quickly pulled his mask down his face with his left hand, holding his mug steady with his right.
The doorknob turned and the door opened. There you walked in, your long damp brown hair reflecting in the dim light, you did not turn the light on.
Ghost froze, he had not expected you to come here, especially at this time in the morning. He watched as you headed over to the kettle and placing your hand on it's side.
The kettle was warm, it had just been used, and someone was in here, as you heard movement come from behind you.
Price? You think and then turning around expecting to see a grinning gentlemen.
Nope. It was the masked menace, Ghost, sitting on the sofa, holding a mug of tea. Through the little natural light that lit the room, you could make out his blue eyed-balls widening at you.
"Morning Lieutenant." You say turning back round, and switching the kettle on.
"Mornin' Doc" Ghost gruffed, he cleared his throat. He watched as you took out a bag from your black hoodie, and take out a Tetley tea bag along with a spoon. You didn't even flinch.
Tetley girl eh? Ghost thought gazing down you, wearing black joggers. His eyes went back to your brown hair draped over your shoulders, some parts still damp.
The kettle began to shake as the water within boiled. You placed the string around the handle of the mug and plopped the tea bag into the mug. The kettle boiled as the switched flipped up. Waiting a few seconds then pouring the water into the mug, watching the colourless water become seeped with dark amber.
"Is there milk in the fridge that I can use?" You ask, your back still facing away from Ghost.
"Yeah, blue top on the bottom shelf" Ghost says watching as you move to the fridge
"Thanks" You say, opening the door and grabbing the milk.
Ghost watched as you set his pint of milk next to your mug, you stirred the teabag with a spoon you brought out from the little bag. You take out a sugar sachet, ripping it and placing its contents in the mug, then swirling the tea. He watches as you squeeze the teabag against the side of the mug and toss it in the open bin. You take his milk and pour a dash of it in, stirring the contents, you add a bit more.
Ghost wondered how milky you liked your tea...
You screw the cap back on and then put it in the fridge, grabbing your mug you sit on one of the four chairs surrounding a small square table, where you place your mug of tea. You look over your shoulder and see Ghost still staring at you. Looking down at your wrist, noticing you forgot to put your watch on so you couldn't count the seconds of how long he was staring at you this morning. You let out a sigh, delving back into the music that sprang from your earphones.
Ghost diverted his gaze back to his mug. He then watched you take a sip of tea in the corner of his eye. He looked back down at his tea, the mugs warmth bringing him a sort of comfort as you sat there. Ghost noticed you move your left arm up, like a magnet his eyes were drawn to your movements, you pushed you hair back, he noticed you had those wireless ear buds in, he scanned your body noticing your left leg resting on the chair opposite and your right foot tapping the air gently.
He was frozen in his seat. He felt like he could not move or get up. Ghost was drawn to you again as you raised your arm and placed your elbow on the table, resting your head in the palm of your hand.
You take another sip of tea. Gulping another sip of the hot liquid down, trying to warm your insides that felt cold, warming the nerves.
If only you could make some chai but you didn't have the spices with you.
"This is Major Perov..." echos in your left ear but faintly this time, you try and focus back on the music..
Should've brought my jar from home you think. You lean back into the chair sighing again. You turn your head to the left and see Ghost looking at you, he moves his head down, to look at the tea in his hand.
There was no heavy tension between you two... or so you could tell... He could've left when you went in but he didn't. You wonder how would you bring up a subject like Siberia to him. You don't even know him. He's just a masked enigma.
Wish the Captain was here. You think, worse case, Sergeant Riley would do, the distant memory of him awakens in your mind He'd surely tell you to leave him be but throw in the sarcastic comment to see how'd he'd respond and go off that. 12 years since they've been gone. 11 and 10 years for MG and KD. Your former mentors and comrades. Gone.
Now you've got new ones to get to know. And one currently sitting in the same room seemingly hates your guts or has some major trust issues.
You clear your throat, pausing the music, taking the left ear bud out, taking your shot...
"Did you get the email sir?" You ask, turning slightly towards him, bring your left leg down from the chair opposite.
Ghost looked up "Yeah I did" he responded whilst nodding, his the fingers on his right hand drumming against the mug. Lump forming in his throat again.
You nod back, bringing your mug in your hands and close your chest, and then take a sip. The insides of you cold still. Perhaps cocooning yourself with your blanket will help? You think
Ghost watches as you bring out your phone, taking your other earbud out and placing them back in your pocket. His eyes stuck to you as you get up and take your mug and little tea kit bag, stuffing it back in your pocket.
"See you later Lieutenant" You say not smiling
Ghost nods back at you and watched you leave, closing the door gently behind you. He glanced at his watch. 5:15am... In about 9 hours you both were going to have another interaction together... Why were you up so early? Training perhaps?
The stoic face you had flashed across his eyelids when he blinked.
You were annoyed, who wouldn't be? Ghost retorted to himself, slightly scoffing. The looped voices bouncing across his cranium.
He leaned back on the sofa, his tea now lukewarm, he lifted his mask and took a sip.
"Bleurgh" He said as the barely warm liquid ran down his throat. He gets up, takes the teabag out and tosses it in the bin and pours the tea in the sink, washes the mug and places it on the drying rack. Ghost stands by the counter, looking at the seat which you sat at moments ago.
He had a chance to apologise but missed. He left the break room and headed back to his room, his mind more clouded than before.
Later on that day
"Hope my blood pressure isn't too high" Price said as you wrapped the cuff around his right arm.
You smile slightly and shake your head at Price's remark
"Shall find out soon enough" you reply pressing the start button on the blood pressure machine, the cuff fills up with air, the machine whirrs, the numbers on the machine rise up.
Once you hear two beeps the reading is complete: 125/80
"125/80, that's perfectly good for someone your age" You say
"My age?" Price chuckles
"41 is a good age sir"
"You're 9 years younger than me Doc"
You look up "Don't look it though" You smirk.
Taking off the blood pressure cuff, you write the reading down on your chart for the Captain.
"Your med kit is good, I just put more Celox, the haemostatic gauze, and saline in there" handing him his med kit, zipping it up.
"That shellfish stuff?" Price asks as he takes his kit giving you a semi-disgusted look.
"Yes sir"
"Not a fan" He added looking at his kit
"Good thing you won't be eating it for rations" You retort
Price chuckles, and checks his watch 10:55 am.
"Right, I'll leave you to prep for the next patient" Price says, you get up and take the tissue paper where Price sat and placed it in the bin. Spraying the bed with disinfectant and wiping it down with blue roll. You wait for the remaining disinfectant to dry and go to the bathroom and wash your hands.
For the duration of the 30 seconds it takes you to thoroughly wash your hands you scan your reflection in the mirror. Drying your hands and turning the tap off you head back in the main room.
Laying new tissue on the bed, you hear footsteps approach, checking your watch it was 10:59am. Perfect timing you think
Gaz appears in the doorway, you propped open after Price left, you look up and force a smile
"Morning Gaz" You say
"Morning Doc, you good?" Gaz asked, he carried his half empty med kit in his hand, sort of hoping you won't scold him. He looked around the infirmary, it was done up well. Clean. Organised. A laptop on your desk, along with a few files stacked neatly next to it. A small brain statue lay next to the lamp.
"Good, how are you?" You say gesturing to the med bed as you closed the door.
"Very well doc, er.. my med kit is a mess" Gaz says handing over his med-kit.
You take it, and examine, a little worn and torn, but expected when out in the field, somewhat similar to Price's bits of sand trapped in the edges, unzipping it you see it stocked with a few plasters, one ambulance dressing and gauze. Looking back up, you see Gaz's concerned face.
"I can stock this up fully, don't worry" you say smiling, "Fill what you can on the chart, don't worry about address" you add, heading to the cabinets behind your desk and place med kit on the counter. You turn back to see Gaz and walk back over.
You take out your equipment and move over to where Gaz sat, placing the clipboard with the pen to the side.
"Temp check" you say placing the IR thermometer to his forehead. The screen turned green, 36.4 ℃, normal. You grab the chart and jot this down.
You place a pulse ox monitor on this forefinger on his left forefinger.
"What's this for?" Gaz says flickering his finger where the oximeter was clipped.
"Measures pulse and percentage of oxygen in your blood"
"Cool gizmo"
"98%, good" You say checking the screen and scribbling the number down. "Pulse at 88 bpm, also good"
"Why not 100%?" Gaz asks looking at the oximeter, he breathes in sharply and holds his breathe, the oximeter changed by 1%.
You let out a small laugh "Not always, as we have a little carbon dioxide in our blood" You say
"Interesting" Gaz says continuing to look at the oximeter.
Taking the oximeter off his finger you proceed with the other checks; blood pressure, height and weight check, general well being, medicine enquiries but mostly refilling his med kit.
You hand it back to Gaz and explain what new stuff you packed. Gaz nods and thanks you and leaves.
It was 11:45am, Soap will be here soon, you follow the same procedure, strip, wipe down and set up.
Never did you think you'd be doing the job of a GP, seeing patients one after another, no surgeries, no rotations and no other doctors, least no friendly doctors yet...
There was a knock on the door. Getting up and opening it, you see Soap grinning.
"Morning Doc" He said
"Morning Soap" You reply back, making way for him to enter as you stood by the door, he walked and looked around.
"How are yer?" He asked turning facing you as you closed the door.
"Good" You say "How are you?"
"Been alrigh' Doc, Ghost beat me in target shooting this mornin'" He adds, awaiting your reaction when he mentioned Ghost's name.
You walk over "Ah, better luck next time" You say
"Take a seat on the med bed and fill out the chart on the tray" You gesture to the clipboard.
Soap picks it up and starts to write down his details, he notices are large x in pen over the personal details section apart from name and date of birth.
He fills out what he can and places the clipboard back on the tray.
Walking over, you begin with the your check list of check-ups. Soap took his shirt off, you stare at him blankly, trying not to ogle at the toned and defined muscles of his upper body.
"Ergh what are you doing?" You say apprehensively
"Don't yer need to put those electric cables on my chest?" Soap said looking at you confused.
You meet his confused face with yours. Your cheeks feel hot as your eyes dropped to his abs and down his snail trail, Soap followed your eyes and grinned. Swiftly turning on your left heel I cannot believe I looked you cling to your white coat.
"I'm not doing an ECG, please put your shirt on" You say closing your eyes trying to shake the image, now realising what Soap thought.
"Alrigh' doc it's on" He laughed "Sorry, I genuinely thought.." he trailed off as your turned back around, your cheeks showing a tinge of pink. He saw you biting in your lips and your ears going red.
You proceeded with the checks:
Pulse oximeter on; 98% and 97bpm
BP: 126/70
etc etc etc
You finish by asking Soap to step off the weights.
"Got your med-kit?" You ask
Soap's face dropped, the one thing he completely forgot that he should not have forgotten.
Taking in his shocked face, you smirk
"Get it to me when you can. I have Lieutenant Ghost at 13:30 so before then please" You say and Soap nods as he leaves the infirmary. Glancing at your watch, 12:40pm, enough time for a quick lunch.
Heading down to mess hall, it was busy of course, you wait in line for food along with other soldiers. You felt like you stood out with your blue scrubs, it's not like you were actually working in a hospital. Should've worn my black fatigues and sweater you think as you move along with the line.
Lunch was a steak and ale pie with chips. You felt full after half-eating the pie, you check your watch 13:10pm. You swiftly stop eating and get up, putting the food in the food bin and placing the plate and tray on their associated piles.
Heading back to the infirmary, you spot Ghost and Soap talking outside, Ghost looks at you and lowers his voice, Soap also looks at you and nods, you see him holding the med kit in his hand.
As you approach, they both stop, both looking at you as you open the door.
"Afternoon" You say to Ghost,
"Goo' afternoon doc" Ghost said, taking a deep breathe as he stepped inside the infirmary. He looked around, it was nice, orderly and clean. A better state than before you came.
"Got the med-kit" Soap said, bringing out out of his pockets of his fatigues, it was rolled up and empty. You take it off him, "I'll give it to you once it's ready" You say, Soap nods but doesn't move
"Here's mine" Ghost said as he uncrossed his arms and brought his kit, it was fuller and heavier as it was placed on your hands.
"Right, I'll have a look in a bit." You say looking up at him and then to Soap who was still hovering.
"You alright?" You ask Soap
"Yeah, just..." Soap started looking at Ghost.
"Johnny, you had your check up, now bugger off" Ghost said turning to him, knowing exactly why he was lingering
Soap grinned at Ghost and then at you, he began to walk away but turned slightly
"Lt, if you wanna make the doc blush, all you gotta do is take your shirt off" Soap winks and teases closing the door
"Wa-What?!" You say stammer as Soap closes the door, you could hear him laughing on the other side.
Ghost whips his head from the door to see your wide eyed shocked face, you turn your head to meet his eyes, he taken in your doe-eyed expression.
"He took his shirt off on his own accord" Υοu blurt "Thought he was getting an ECG done" you say motioning to the empty space between you with your right hand as if to swat the memory away.
"It's alrigh' Johnny likes teasin'" Ghost says, he watches your face return to normal, and head to the back counter placing both med kits there and opening them up, examining the contents.
Ghost watched your back, like he did this morning.
"Sorry about yesterday" He says looking at your back, he watches your head come up, listening.
"I was out of line, you're good.." He added "Just was.. cautious" Ghost added slowly. He felt his right hand reach up out to you, wanting to tell you it's...
You take in his words.. inhaling for four, you turn around and head back to where Ghost was, exhaling for four.
Ghost swiftly brought his right arm down in his back pocket of his jeans. He looked at you and you smiled, he relaxed a bit more.
"Thank you lieutenant" You say, accepting his apology, you still feel like he somehow... For some reason he still despises you...
You look up at him and smile, he nods back, you his eyes crinkle a bit, hopefully smiling underneath that mask...
Ah the mask and the clothes... You always observed him wearing long sleeve shirts or sweaters, no t-shirt in site so far...
"So.. I'm going to check your blood pressure, pulse, weight, height..." You trail off looking at his blue eyes grabbing the clipboard on the tray.
Ghost blinks and looks back at your deep brown eyes, framed by your black mascara'd lashes "Yes doc..." He says slowly
"I understand the mask stays on, but need to take a neck reading for body temperature if that's okay?" You add looking down from his eyes to his shoulders then to your clipboard.
"Of course" Ghost says, lifting the hem of his mask to reveal is neck. You were entranced by the sudden willing nakedness of his neck, the hem stopping under his chin with his ungloved hand; snapping out of the haze you grab the IR thermometer and press the button, you look back at his neck and notice a mole on the pale skin covering his jugular.
The thermometer beeps, screen turning green, 36.8 ℃. Good. Placing the thermometer down, you grab the chart and jot it down.
Ghost pulls his mask down, watching you scribble out parts on the form. He unzips his jacket, revealing his own black pullover hoodie.
You look up and notice your lieutenant take his jacket off, and then reach for the hem of his hoodie. Leaning on your heal you turn your back.
Please don't strip down like Soap you plead trying not to imagine what his naked torso would look like.
After taking his hoodie off, and folding it on top of his jacket. He looks and sees you've turned fully, your back facing him, smirking slightly under his mask, he wonders if he should tease you and take his shirt off too...
Turning back to face the Lieutenant, you see him wearing a black t-shirt which hug snuggly to his muscular torso. Grabbing the blood pressure cuff you bring it next to him. You notice on his left fore arm a myriad of different tattoos.
Ghost watches as you move towards with a blood pressure machine, he rolls up his sleeve of his t-shirt, he gazes at your brown hair now braided, slightly messy, as few strands have fallen out are now tucked behind your ear, he notices two small silver hoops hugging your cartilage.
Unravelling the cuff, you wrap it around his chiseled bicep, you noticed a few scars up and down his arm, even a few on his hand, but you didn't say anything or linger on them too long. Not when you knew how awkward it is when people stare and make remarks of your own scars.
Looks bigger than my thighs you think, admiring the muscles laying underneath the flesh of his upper arm.
The cuff did not fit fully. You look up at Ghost, he was looking at you, your eyes widened slightly.
"Good thing the machine came with an extra large cuff" You smirk, taking the cuff off the machine and heading to the drawers he cleaned last week.
"Good thin'" Ghost repeats, sitting up taller, observing the way your white coat glided with your movements. Your left breast pocket filled with pens, he noticed some writing underneath the pocket, but couldn't decipher it.
Walking back to Ghost with the XL cuff, you plug it in the machine, unravel it and placed it around his arm above his elbow. You swiftly look at the tattoos again on his left arm; a black monochromatic piece, a wonderful chaos of skulls, a dog tag, guns and other army related pieces.
Your cold fingers grazed his warm skin, Ghost felt the cold ripple all the way to his chest. He watched on as you adjusted the cuff.
"That alright?"
"Yeah" Ghost says
He watches as you press the machine and watch the numbers go up, he felt the cuff tighten as it filled with air around his arm. The air hissed and he watched the numbers fall down. 137/88
Grabbing the clipboard and the pen, you jot down the numbers, and you frown slightly.
"You've got high blood pressure"
Ghosts huffs Great he moans in his head
"How old are you?"
"34" Ghost grumbled
"How's your diet?" You ask looking up at him
"Alrigh'"
"Are you taking any drugs, legal or illegal?" You ask
Ghost looks at you, stunned by the wording of your question
"Legal?" He asks narrowing his eyes at you. You gotta be pullin' my leg
"Paracetamol, simvastatin, antibiotics, opioid based pain relief etc" You say
"And illegal?" Ghost asks perking up, curious as to where this will go...
"Cocaine, cannabis and other not so fun things" You add smirking at him.
"Only done the legal kin', paracetamol and hold up - opioid based pain relief? Ghost whips at you, now realising what you said.
"Morphine, codeine and oxycodone" You say "They're legal but addictive like heroin."
Ghost takes it in, of course, he had his own familial experience with that dark side of drug addiction. Tommy...
"Just paracetamol and antibiotics from injuries in the field" Ghost said quietly
"Okay" You say, jotting that down.
"Any new stress in your life?" You say looking back up to him
Ghost looks at you, and then back at the reading of the BP monitor, 137/88 flashes at him.
You observe Ghost, looking at the monitor
"High blood pressure is not worrying if we can correct external factors like diet, exercise and maintaining any stresses" You roll off your tongue.
Jeez you sound like the pamphlet you remember your mum getting from the nurse about high blood pressure You slide back slightly on your chair turning your head, manoeuvring yourself to the trolley tray, rolling your eyes to yourself as you aimlessly fiddle in the tray.
Of course these guys would have a few health issues, they are super elite soldiers, they've dealt with so much...
Ghost looks at you. He's been here before, doctors telling him to change this, do that, etc etc...
You grab the pulse oximeter and move back over to Ghost.
Alright, Sergeant Riley taking your advice; sarcastic comment, time to throw that..
"Look, I sounded like a damn pamphlet, but I'm here for all your health needs" You say bringing your hands up to your sides, foolishly giving him jazz fingers and you smile with teeth.
Ghost scoffs a laugh out, then clears his throat turning his head to the side.
"No new stresses" Ghost says, his gaze back to you, he watches you raise an eyebrow and tilt your head.
"Not even me?" You add, remembering the encounter yesterday after the target course.
Staring into your narrowed brown eyes Ghost knew it was you who was slightly causing stress. Ghost shook his head and then looked at the BP monitor again.
You get up and take the cuff off his arm. You show him the pulse oximeter, and he brings his hand up, you clip it on his forefinger.
"What time do you usually get up?" You ask, remembering the encounter this morning at around 5am.
"Couldn't sleep last night if you're referrin' to this morning" He says looking up at you
You nod back at him, your lip curved slightly. 98% and a pulse of 72bpm. Strong heart
"Not able to get to sleep or wake-up in the middle of the night?" You ask writing down the readings of the oximeter.
"Both" Ghost grunts
"Have you tried any medicine for sleeping?" You ask
"That herbal stuff, calm, from Boots" he said
He watches as you wrinkle your nose. "Didn't work?" You say
"Yeah"
"I'll give you zopiclone, just one, for tonight, see how it goes and we will have another check-in tomorrow" You add, heading to the small locked cabinet and cut out one tablet from the sheet. Locking the cabinet, you head back and give it to Ghost, he places it in his jean pocket.
He continues gazing upon your movements, your hand flicking back a strand of hair that got near your amber brown eyes.
"Take it an hour before sleep, avoid going on your phone and alcohol and should help with aiding sleep. Keep water or squash nearby as it can have metallic aftertaste" You command softly whilst writing away on the clipboard sitting on the stool.
Ghost looked at you, all this seemed so natural coming out of you. He nods along, mesmerised with your poise and assertiveness. That's the rookie you remember from all those years ago. He smirked under his mask and leaned forward a bit.
"How was the herbal tea?" You ask looking back up
"Eh?" He guffles, how could you know?
"This morning, I could smell lavender, was that your tea?" You say, eyes becoming doe-eyed.
'Course, the smell of lavender was soothing, especially after that... episode... nightmare
"Yeah Doc"
"Does it help?" You ask
"Sort of, chamomile and lavender tea..." Ghost begins and then pauses.
Gazing upon his eyes, which shifted left to right as he spoke to you. His cool blue eyes strike yours, they were even icier against his blonde eyelashes.
Ghost looks at you, he notices the writing on your white coat, Dr Hari Kaur Neurosurgery threaded in black cursive under the pocket full of pens.
"What abou' you?" Ghost asks, he notices your eyes narrow.
"What do you mean?"
"You were up early" Ghost retorted
Tilting your head back, your roll your head around. Maybe if I open up, he'll too...
"Bad dream woke me up." half-lying to him. You didn't want to talk about Siberia, not now..
Ghost watched as your eyes lost a bit of brightness, becoming dull.
"Tea help?" He asked, trying to bring that brightness back in your eyes
"Tea always helps" You smirked
"What one you have?" Ghost asked, knowing full well you had Tetley.
"Tetley, but I prefer PG tips" You grinned, eyes twinkling again.
"Oooh" he sucked in some air "Yorkshire is best" he sighed
"Tetley is from Yorkshire!" You snapped
"Was from Yorkshire" He retaliated "Run by an Indian company now, Yorkshire Tea is still based in Yorkshire" He added crossing his arms and puffing his chest out.
You scoff at him, looking away and then back at him, admiring his chiseled torso.
"Actually prefer chai, with PG tips" You quipped
"Hmm" Ghost says "Maybe you could use my Yorkshire Tea next time and I'll judge" he added
Nodding back at him you get off the stool. "Next time for tea then?" he nods back.
Ghost watches and listens as you ask him to step on the weight balance, and checks his height. He continues to gaze at you as you complete other checks needed, obliging your every command willingly. It was the least he could do after the way he treated you.
You would understand if he told you later convincing himself that now is not the right time.
You would understand, bad people are out there
He gives a nod and a yes comes out of his mouth, as you say something about his med-kit, his eyes drawn in on your back as you walk to the counter checking their contents again.
You would understand, it's safer for Simon Riley to remain dead to you.
Ghost looks at you, wondering if you ever thought about Simon Riley...
"I am the death of everything you know and love" Roba's voice echoed faintly in his skull
You would understand
