task force 141 + cuddling

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: idk if this counts as a holiday hc but idc i wanted to write this. pretend they're wearing christmas pj's idk.

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so when you really get down to it ghost's just a scared guy

i mean not scared in the traditional sense ig but he's pretty paranoid (not that i blame him)

he's definitely the kind of guy that feels pretty vulnerable when he's asleep and because of that (and nightmares) he's never really been a deep sleeper

like he can fall asleep whenever because he's sorta in a state of perpetual tiredness but it's always a super light sleep and he'll wake up at the slightest disturbance (hence the state of perpetual tiredness)

this all culminates into a very specific mindset ghost has when he's sleeping with you

ghost is absolutely petrified of anything happening to you, especially since he can't protect you when he's sleeping, so he's definitely a fan of spooning (with him as the bigger spoon ofc) bc it makes him feel like he's shielding you from harm

he also likes having you so close to him bc one you're nice and warm and two it lets him know your safe

and honestly it's less spooning and more just him trying to cover your entire body with his body

like he will go full on blanket mode

if he could he would just box you in under him and the only reason he doesn't is because he knows he would end up crushing you

he'll hold you really tightly too

like almost squeezing you

and you always think he'll eventually loosen up a little when he falls asleep but he never does

this has two purposes

first is that it keeps you close

and second is that it stops you from moving around excessively

the second one is important especially if you're a chaotic sleeper because he always gets woken up when you move

also he likes having you face him when he sleep so it's sorta like you guys are hugging but sometimes that can get uncomfortable with all the limbs involved

oh yeah he definitely wraps/throws his legs around you in another effort to keep you pinned down

also hot take but he doesn't like being the little spoon

it's too stressful for him because even though he feels protected he feels like you're vulnerable and that's worse

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so starting off soap is a great cuddler

but then as the night progresses... not so much

ik everyone's been saying this but it's because it's the truth

soap is a spreader

no matter what position he starts off in soap will always find a way to spread out

for some reason he also has a tendency to flip over in his sleep a lot

like it always starts out with the him on his back with your head laying on his chest as he rubs circles on your arm and tells you stories about his childhood

and around halfway through the night he might turn over and hug you while he sleeps for a bit

with his arms wrapped around you and your face buried into his chest

but then by the morning

soap is starfished on his belly

one arm is haphazardly thrown across your back/front (depending on how you're sleeping) with one of his legs tangled into yours

lord knows he's drooling too but honestly same

also soap's definitely a blanket stealer but for no reason

like in the middle of the night you'll be waging a war with him for the blanket

just for him to kick it off the bed by morning time

you've tried getting another blanket but it didn't work and he just stole that one too

you're still trying to come up with a better solution

soap also sleeps like but is also weirdly conscious

idk how to phrase it but like it will take everything to wake him up

but also if you even try to sneak the blanket away from him he will know and you will not be able too

also he definitely snores when he sleeps on his stomach sorry

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

ugh rudy my love my precious my darling

rudy lives for cuddles

but he likes to be the cuddled instead of the cuddler

rudy is always down to be the little spoon but honestly that's not really his favorite position

(he almost always has bruises on his side from training so it can be uncomfortable)

instead he likes resting his head on your chest while you sleep

he'll be like half laying on his stomach half laying on you

and he'll tangle his legs into yours and wrap his arm around your stomach

and good god this man will literally spontaneously combust if you play with his hair

pet it, braid it, scratch it

do whatever you want to it he will eat it up

easily the fastest way to get him asleep

he also really loves listening to your heartbeat and syncing his breaths up with yours

it's always so satisfying to hear your heartbeat slow down when you fall asleep

also rudy has like five different blankets on his bed because he's a really cold sleeper

although with you he usually only needs one or maybe two because you're so warm

he's also a surprisingly pretty sleeper

you've been meaning to take a picture but you always forget because for some reason he just has a way of making you sleepy when he lays down on you

he's also a pretty deep sleeper but even then you try not to move because he always looks so happy

sometimes he'll sleep in the crook of your shoulder and then you can turn to face him sometimes

kyle "gaz" garrick:

kyle likes it when you cling onto his side with your arms and legs wrapped around him

he calls you a koala but he will also die if you stop

he just loves seeing you bury your face into his arm

especially with your legs wrapped around his waist

dang he eats it up

sometimes he'll turn to face you so you can cling onto his front

but he is a back sleeper at his core so it works out

he likes to wrap his arms around you and rub circles on your back or play with your hair

and also the smell of your shampoo has pretty much conditioned him to get tired

like there's nothing more relaxing to him than being able to breathe in the scent of your shampoo at night

definitely also whispers random things to you at night

sometimes it's romantic sometimes it's just him going down random tangents until he tires himself out

but it's his favorite part of the day because he gets to have you with him and explore weird thought experiments

sometimes you'll respond but you usually fall asleep pretty quickly he notices

and he definitely has a picture of you wrapped around him as you slept

it's his lock screen on his phone and it always makes him happy

gaz is like a medium deep sleeper

he also somehow stays really still when he sleeps

like he'll go to bed and wake up in the same position

also he always has to keep like one leg out of the blanket or else he gets too hot

john price:

price likes it when you sleep on top of him

like on top on top of him

he wants you to be his personal blanket

he'll cuddle with you this way anywhere too

on the sofa, on the bed, on the floor (?)

(maybe if there's a soft rug or smthing)

he likes to wrap his arms around you and feel you sorta melt into him as you relax

i mentioned smthing in a previous hc about price wanting a weighted heated blanket for christmas

but let's be real

you are the weighted heated blanket

it just makes him feel really secure and protected

and he's holding onto you so he feels like you're safe and protected too

sometimes he wraps a leg around yours too

and yes price is a snorer what can i say

he'll insist he doesn't snore and then let out the most god awful noise you've ever heard

honestly the price girlies are the true heroes for putting up with that

respect.

(i am a price girly too)

alejandro vargas:

alejandro likes the intimacy of cuddling so that's very important

he also likes being the cuddler but he's always down to be the cuddled

he's a fan of the classics like spooning

but usually he prefers a position that's more equal

that's why alejandro loves to fall asleep hugging you with both of you on your sides

maybe your face is buried into his chest and his hand is wrapped around the back of your head

he just likes holding you close to him can you blame him

he definitely plays with your hair too as you sleep

and he loves whispering sweet nothings into your hair as you fall asleep

he's also very physical so he likes to be touching you at all times

generally just a very sweet and considerate lover and cuddler

also he used to be a chronic insomniac before he met you

but feeling how warm you are and hearing you breathe just manages to relax him

so with you he's able to sleep deeply

If the asks are still open may I make a request. I read your cuddling headcanons for task force 141 and it got me thinking. How would they react to being cradled to their fem s/o's chest. With their fingers running through their hair, listening to their heartbeat? These boys deserve to go to sleep in comfort. Let them go into such a deep sleep they almost go into the light. If you don't feel like doing the whole squad can I just have Ghost?

task force 141 + being cradled

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: help i've been watching neymar jr/jude bellingham edits for so long my fyp thinks im a real soccer fan

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so simon's definitely more used to being the cradler rather than the cradled

he likes holding your head to his chest and feeling you bury your face deeper into his shirt

but honestly he's never been held by someone else

i mean just on size alone the schematics are kinda awkward

which is why he's sort of caught of guard the first time you pull him to your chest

the two of you were sitting in bed and he was telling you about his day

and you could tell that even though his voice was neutral he was absolutely exhausted (plus all the stuff he had to say just sounded so tiring)

so without saying anything (and a bit of struggle ngl this man is huge and therefore heavy) you manage to pull his head into your chest

he kinda stiffens and tries to get away but you hold him firm against your chest because you know that if he really wanted to leave he easily could

but when he sees how determined you are to keep him there it sorta flicks a switch in his mind that maybe this isn't the worse thing in the world

like obviously you wanted this and he's spent enough time with you to trust you

and besides you're so warm and even though you're not as big as him he can't help but feel secure in your arms so he starts to relax

and you tell him to pick up his head so you can take off his balaclava and he happily obliges

and he takes this opportunity to readjust into a more popular position so that he's more shifted on his side with one of his arms wrapped around your torso

and now he can feel the tiredness start to creep around his eyelids but he doesn't want to fall asleep because he wants to be able to savor this moment

but when you bring your fingers to his hair?

oh. my. lord.

simon melts IMMEDIATELY

he's kinda embarrassed about it but his eyes literally rolled into the back of his head

and after that point it is literally so hard for him to not fall asleep

like he is fighting demons just so he can stay awake and listen to your heartbeat longer

but with the way you're fingers are working magic on his scalp it's not long until his eyes are closing

he honestly doesn't even realize he fell asleep until he wakes up the next morning

and is he stiff as hell?

yes.

but was it worth it?

yes.

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap's definitely more chill about it than ghost

like he was the one to put his head on your chest not the other way around

he just likes how soft and warm you are and it makes him feel cozy

but he can't do it all the time because sometimes it gets to hot or he gets worried his head is too heavy

it's like being the little spoon

it's nice but sometimes you just wanna sprawl your entire body over someone else's

so he honestly doesn't let you cradle him very often

plus it's just like an awkward position for him

he doesn't wanna have to crane his neck up to see you and he has to do that when you have his head in your chest

that being said he will sacrifice seeing your face for a bit if it means having you scratch his head for him

although his favorite is when you're sitting on the couch because then he can lay his head on your lap

and then he has a good visual of your face and he gets to have you scratch his head

so it's a win win in his opinion

that being said having his head on his chest is one of his favorite positions to fall asleep in

especially when he's too tired to worry about if it's comfortable for you or not

something about your heartbeat is just soothing what can i say

kyle "gaz" garrick:

hmmm so tbh i don't think gaz is really into the head scratches

like it doesn't really work with his hair texture anyways and they feel funny to him

sorta like how some people love asmr but others can't stand it

and honestly i hate to say it but i don't really see gaz as being super into having you cradle his head and stuff

idk why i just can't see him doing that but maybe im just blind idk

like he might lean his head on your shoulder or even your head or something like that but idk he's just not a cradle kind of guy imo

he definitely loves cradling your head though

like he loves it when you're sitting in the car or on a couch and you lean your head on his shoulder and he can wrap his arm around you

definitely gives a top of the head kiss then too

maybe when he's sleeping he'll put his head on your chest

but again he'd much rather have your head on his chest

plus gaz has found that he has a very sensitive spine

(probably from falling out of like twenty helicopters let's be fr)

and so often when he falls asleep with his head on your chest he wakes up with a super stiff neck

off topic but one time he did fall asleep with his head on your chest and you moved it to his pillow once he fell asleep

and ik it sounds counterintuitive but that day gaz knew he was falling in love because the fact that you knew to do that made his heart soar

john price:

okay so price is obviously older and therefore more mature

and like the wise man he is he's never afraid to rest his head on the chest of a beautiful woman

that's honestly one of his favorite ways to spend his off days

the two of you laying on a couch watching a movie

he let you pick bc you both knew he would pass out by the thirty minute mark

i mean how could he not?

especially when he's laying on your chest and you're fiddling with his hair

twisting it and braiding it and combing through it

also you know he let's out the most guttural groan as soon as your fingers touch his head

and at that point he's more than happy to close his eyes, lay back, and relax as he listens to your heartbeat over the sound of the movie

sometimes you'll say something and he'll grunt in reply

but you both know that he has no idea what you said because he's in that perfect limbo of barely being awake and barely falling asleep

i mean he literally fantasizes about spending his days like that

alejandro vargas:

hm alright so alejandro would definitely rather have you on his chest than lay his head on yours

but also in the end his root motivation for everything is just making you happy so if you ask him to lay his head on your chest he will obey any day

i mean guys...

he is whipped for you let's be real

you say jump he says how high

he'll also never admit it or explicitly ask for it but he does love it when you play with his hair

especially when you curl it around your finger and tug on it a little

sometimes though if he's had a long day he'll come home and just lay his head down on your chest so he can listen to your heartbeat

usually he'll get up after a while so he can talk to you without his words being muffled by your chest

sometimes though he's too tired and he'll just straight pass out

still in his gear and everything

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

hehehehe rudy my favorite

all right guys im sure you already saw it coming but rudy definitely LOVES resting his head on your chest

like it is his preferred position for everything

he will outright ask you to lay down so he could go rest his head on your chest

and yes he will ask you to play with his hair too

and he will sing your praises when you do

this definitely started way early in the relationship so you've had lots of time to get used to it

and it's not like you can complain because even if it does get uncomfortable at times rudy is always sure to let you know how much he appreciates it

i mean it just lets him actually sleep well for once

like as soon as his head is on your chest he is passed out

snoring quietly and drooling ever so slightly

and you know when he wakes up he's gonna have those red indent marks on his skin lol

but all jokes aside it really is his favorite thing like if he could he would record the sound of your heartbeat and play it back during missions

and also when he's on duty and has to sleep alone he definitely props up some pillows and tries to pretend it's you

it's not as good as you though

task force 141 + mistletoe

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: @leopardfang15 wanted this and i've been meaning to do it so here it is. also nilered renting out a whole island for his thioacetone is so iconic

simon "ghost" riley:

okay so ik i already did this in a drabble earlier this month (taken by surprise) so this one might be a little shorter

anyways simon def kinda feels like mistletoe is stupid

he doesn't really understand the reason behind it

and also it's not like he ever went to any christmas parties as a kid so he doesn't have any experience to normalize it

that being said with the right person under the mistletoe he wouldn't be opposed to trying it out

he's definitely shy about it tho and he won't do it if anyone else is around

i feel like if you guys are already dating he might just give you a quick peck

and he'd either do it through the mask or just lift it up just so his mouth can show

ok wait off topic tangent really quick

but like imagine if you and him got caught under the mistletoe in front of everyone

but like it's not noticeable like imagine him just walking behind you under the doorway

and then him secretly kissing you from behind through the mask

idk man it's hard to explain here but you get it maybe

anyways if you're not dating and the circumstances are right then he'd definitely lift up his mask and kiss you more intensely

also @leopardfang15 brought the idea of ghost getting caught under the mistletoe with another task force member

and let's be real he would not even entertain the idea

doesn't even look at them and reprimands them too if they try anything

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so i feel like soap is definitely a mistletoe enjoyer

but it's not like a romantic thing as much as it's like a goofing around kind of thing

like he definitely tries to get "caught" under the mistletoe with every single member of the task force (plus laswell just because)

and lord knows he comes up with way too many overcomplicated schemes to get it to happen in front of as many people as possible

and he always tries to get the people under the mistletoe to agree

and he usually just gives them a big ole kiss on the cheek so that they're more inclined to say yes

but ofc with you he'll give you a giant kiss on the lips

and he'll definitely try to make a giant scene out of it until everyone else is groaning for him to stop

another thing is that he'll kiss you whenever you're under the mistletoe

doesn't even matter if it's when you enter and exit a room he'll kiss you twice and be happy to do it

that being said when it comes to the other task force members they weren't all as forthcoming

gaz, rudy, and alejandro we're definitely down tho and even gave him a cheek kiss back

laswell and price reluctantly agreed but did it with a smile on their faces

ghost just straight up refused

literally shouldered soap off of him like he was nothing

soap definitely moped about it after

kyle "gaz" garrick:

honestly i feel like gaz is pretty neutral about mistletoe

like he's down to kiss you under it but he doesn't go out of his way to find you

he also doesn't kiss anyone else under it

just you

when there's people around he'll just give you a quick peck on the lips or on the forehead

but when there's no one around he can be much more intimate

he'll wrap an arm around your waist and pull you close to his chest

and then give you a long, slow kiss

and you know he's gonna look at you after like you're the most beautiful thing in the world

and you know what as he should

if someone on the task force catches him under the mistletoe he doesn't kiss them back

with the exception being soap ofc (on the cheek)

he does give everyone else a hug though

he also managed to sorta hug ghost though (he sorta dapped him up so it was like that half hug back clap thing men do)

and he lorded this over soap's head for the rest of the month

john price:

alright so the fun side of price likes the idea of mistletoe

it's a pretty plant and he likes the excuse to kiss you

that being said the captain side of price just sees it as a walking hr violation

but he knows that all the task force members are super close to each other and he trusts them to not do anything without anyone's consent

so whenever it's time to decorate the base he always makes sure to get some mistletoe too

one year they were based in new jersey and he could get some fresh sprigs which was pretty neat

anyways price doesn't kiss anyone except you under the mistletoe

idk he's old he has a few conservative viewpoints around dating

but it's nothing problematic he just doesn't want to kiss anyone except you even if it's not romantic

now that being said he won't kiss you in front of the others

because he wants to try and keep his work and personal seperate

(he recognizes the irony if you're in the military)

but also because he's a captain and he feels it's not very professional if he's getting romantic in front of his crew

but when you're on your own he's more than happy to kiss you

and he'll kiss you very passionately too

alejandro vargas:

alright so i think i might have mentioned this in my very first headcanon of this christmas extravaganza but alejandro really likes mistletoe

i mean guys alejandro is like the definition of a romantic and mistletoe is such a romantic tradition

also like price he really likes the look of the plant

that being said alejandro is much more forthcoming with his mistletoe kisses

he'll give the task force members kisses on the cheek or hugs if he gets caught with them

but he saves kisses on the mouth for you

now alejandro also has a reputation of being intimidating but unlike ghost he's more than happy to kiss you in front of the team

but he's still classy so he's not about to be jamming his tongue down your throat in front of the guys

he'll save that for when you're alone

also if you get caught but you guys aren't dating he's super respectful about it

he's more than willing to just completely ignore the condition

he'll offer a kiss ofc (he's gotta do his due diligence) but if you say no he completely understands

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so rudy is really excited to be doing mistletoe kisses

his parents never allowed him to partake in the tradition when he was a kid but it's such a staple of the holidays so he was always disappointed

now when he gets caught under the mistletoe with one of the guys he's much less shy and he's always happy to give them a hug or peck on the cheek

except for ghost and price lol he's a little intimidated by them

but gaz, alejandro, and soap are all fair game

however when it comes to you he can get a little shy

especially if you guys aren't dating, like he'll be blushing so hard and half of him is too scared to even ask if you want to kiss

alejandro definitely ends up seeing you two standing under the mistletoe but not doing anything and tells you two to kiss

and if you're down then rudy's the happiest man in the world

but even if you are dating rudy can still get a little shy

he'll kiss you passionately when you're in private

but when in public he might hold back a bit

that being said if you're being passionate he'll 100% match your energy even if he ends up a little flushed after

hi there! i love your work! i have a request for a cod fic💕💕

so i actually just learned there is ONE(1) all-female spec ops team in the world, and it's norway's jegertroppen("hunter troop"), so maybe how the 141(plus alejandro, rudy and könig) would react to meeting the leader of (or being in a relationship with) jegertroppen who is a no-nonsense, absolute bamf who can, in no uncertain terms, take care of herself

again, love your work and thank you for reading my random 2 am thoughts💕💕💕

task force 141 + bamf!reader

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra, König, Valeria Garza

Warnings: explicit language, reader is referred to as a woman/girl

A/N: yes i realize like half of these ppl aren't part of tf141 hush. also this is why i love u guys bc i would've never learned about this w/o u anon. also srry these are short we have a lot of characters and not a lot of time

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so when ghost first met you he's pretty impressed ngl

like he knows how hard it is to be in special ops and he can only imagine how hard it is when you're a girl

like task force 141 is all men and most, if not all, of the people he works with on a daily basis are men

so yeah he has a lot of respect for you for making it to your position

he also has a lot of respect for your entire crew and he honestly really supports the idea of an all female special ops group

off topic but in the comics we see simon go through an attempted brainwashing (really pared down explanation sorry) where roba essentially tries to make him like a misogynist/rapist which obviously simon is disgusted by so yes simon is canonically a feminist

he's also in love with your strict no-nonsense style of work because it aligns really well with his

together you're pretty much unstoppable

literally the definition of a power couple

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap is honestly wowed the first time he meets you (and a little lovestruck too)

what can i say women in charge do things to him

he's definitely sorta intimidated by you at first though

idk it's like imagine ghostsoap but ghost is you

like he's always trying to fool around with you which maybe you tend to shut down

but honestly he doesn't mind and sometimes he'll keep going just to get a rise out of you/hear you talk

idk man he honestly just has so much respect for you

like if he could he would stop in the middle of an active warzone just to watch you work

also if you guys are dating he takes every chance possible to brag about you to anyone who'll listen

he just thinks you deserve a lot more recognition than you get

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so the first time gaz meets you he's honestly a little shocked

it sucks but women are a pretty rare sight to see especially in his level/field of work so an all female special ops team is like finding a needle in a haystack

that being said he has nothing but respect for you and what you do

he knows how bigoted people in the military can be and so he's glad to see that you've found a space for yourself where you're relatively unbothered by it

also it makes him happy to see more gender representation because it reminds him of his younger siblings and it makes him happy that they can have someone to look up to

like soap he also really likes watching you work

and when he's not fighting or falling out of helicopters he likes to just spend his time with you or watching you train or do menial tasks

maybe he's just too in love with you but you can make doing the dishes seem badass

john price:

alright so like pretty much everyone else here when price first met you the only thing in his mind was respect

he's read up on you and he knows a lot about your work and honestly he just really admires you

he's a leader and so he knows how tough it can be to have that job

plus to do that while being a woman in a male dominated space

yeah that earns you major points in his book

honestly he's hesitant to make a move because he doesn't want to feel like he's disrespecting you by initiating something romantic

but like you're literally such a badass motherfucker he really can't help but catch feelings

plus you're literally stunning so that's not helping the growing crush he has either

he loves to work alongside you whenever he can because you're literally inspiring on the field

plus he knows he doesn't have to worry about you or your forces which takes a lot of stress off his shoulders

alejandro vargas:

okie so like price alejandro really really respects you

again he's also a leader and he knows how taxing that can be which is why he respects you so much for it

i mean alejandro has a history with bamf women (valeria) so it's no surprise he falls for you too

idk man seeing a woman who can take care of herself just gets alejandro going

honestly you kind of remind alejandro of valeria but like in a good way

like not a "he can't get over his ex" kind of way but like a "damn he definitely has a type and his type is hot, badass women who really don't need a man but hopefully will date him despite it" kind of way

he'll also make sure that all of his forces treat you and your troops with the respect you deserve because he's not about to let you guys deal with that on his watch

that being said whenever someone is being a hassle he knows you can handle it yourself

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so when rudy first meets you it's sorta like a mix between awe and also nervousness

like on one hand he's like "omg this woman is literally like the definition of badass motherfucker"

and on the other hand he's like "omg this woman is so pretty i hope she picks me omg can she tell im nervous gahdhshs"

you make his heart flutter what can i say

he's definitely a lot more shy asking you out than he might be with someone else

but that's because he really respects you and he doesn't want to come off as rude or disrespectful if he's too assertive

that being said when you do let him know you reciprocate his feelings he is over the fucking moon

he just can't believe that someone as independent and no-nonsense as you would choose to be in a relationship with him

like soap he will always find an opportunity to brag about you

and honestly he'll compliment you like there's no tomorrow

idk man he's just crazy about you like he respects you so much and so it's mind-blowing to him that you actually picked him

könig:

okay quick disclaimer but i've never written for könig so umm yeah

anyways könig is definitely really really impressed when he first meets you

you definitely make him nervous just because you're really good looking but he'll still talk/engage with you

even though it can be pretty nerve-wracking for him because of his social anxiety he'll suck it up because ultimately the anxiety of wrongly being perceived as a misogynist/sexist who won't talk to women is worse

but he's definitely a lot shyer and less inclined to talk to you outside of work

even though he really wants to

that being said if he's given enough time he will open up eventually

and even though you're no-nonsense you're more than happy to take things slow with him to make him feel comfortable

which honestly just makes him fall in love with you more

i mean i feel like this is obvious but you're definitely the "he asked for no pickles" couple

with you being the one saying it ofc and him being the one asking for no pickles

valeria garza:

ughh valeria is sooo hyped to see you oml

um don't ask how it works out with her being el sin nombre and you technically being in the military

love finds a way okay

anyways as a woman in a male dominated space herself it is so refreshing to not only see you, but to see your whole troop

honestly valeria definitely wishes she could have been a part of it

and tbh if she wasn't el sin nombre i could definitely see her considering joining

like in a way it kind of makes her sad because she knows how different her life would be if she had a group like this in mexico

also im just know realizing the connection to artemis' huntresses (is that what it's called?)

anyways valeria is not shy about flirting with you

like you tick all of her boxes

you're hot, you're a natural leader, you're more than capable of taking care of yourself

win win win

and if you let her she will treat you like a god damn queen

and also she absolutely loves seeing you work if she could she would just perch on some treetop with a pair of binoculars and watch you while you work

i realize that sounds creepy but um it's not

Hey, don't know if you want more requests but here's this. Task force 141 reacting to their daughter grumpily trudging up to them saying some boy at their school won't take no for and answer and "apparently you're scarier than I am so could you please make him go away?" They're just bitter that their dad is more intimidating.

task force 141 + protecting their daughters

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: hmmm i don't normally like writing family au's but in the spirit of growth here we are (and it's not so bad lol)

simon "ghost" riley:

okay so i don't think it's a surprise that if simon found out some guy was harassing his kid at school he would flip out

are we surprised that simon is a super protective dad?

no. not at all.

you would probably have to physically stop him from trying to find out everything about the harasser so he could go beat him up

because lord knows if left unattended he would do exactly that

he has his own experience with people taunting and harassing him as a child and simon wants his kid's childhood to be polar opposites with his own

and this annoying boy at school is a threat to that

and simon's literally been trained to take out threats guys let's be fr

after he manages to cool down he ends up going to pick up his daughter from school and he has her point out who the guy who's giving her trouble is

he doesn't even have to say anything because as soon as this little snot sees ur kid pointing at him with simon staring daggers at him he's two seconds away from peeing his pants

and it's for good reason too because keep in mind this is like a 3'2 child (i don't actually know how tall children are) compared to a 6'4, probably over 200 pounds of muscle, simon with a death glare that's sent shivers down grown men's backs

i mean this kid has no chance sorry dude

definitely turns around and immediately sprints away

and what do you know the next day the snot-nosed turd doesn't even look at your kid except for terrified peeks in her direction

but you know simon still wishes he got to talk with (re: beat up) the kid

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap tries to solve things with humor so when he finds out some turd is harassing his daughter the first thing he does is try to make her feel better with some jokes

"geez that kid's a real idiot, how'd he pass first grade?"

"don't let it affect you, sweets, you're too good to be worried about someone who spends 90% of their brainpower on stupid things."

basically soap will trash talk this kid

and yk what same so i can't even blame him

when his daughter asks soap to deal with the kid, he definitely pats her on the back and says something like "i'll see what i can do" and then takes her out for ice cream

soap desperately wants to be the favorite parent so he's hesitant about going all "this kid must be stopped and i will do anything to ensure justice is served" in front of his daughter

definitely calls the school to get a better read on what's going on and then goes to talk to the parents themselves

and unfortunately soap doesn't exactly have ghost's height to help him intimidate people but one thing soap does have is massive muscles

that being said he doesn't want to go full intimidation mode so he tries to breach the topic lightly with the parents

but he will put his foot down if needed

he also insists on talking to the kid and when he does you know he threatens him in the nicest also most vaguest way possible to try and protect himself from any guilt

and although his methods may be questionable they work because the next day the snot-nosed turd apologizes to his daughter

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so honestly i can see gaz as the kind of parent who preaches being kind and talking things out

but he's also definitely ready to throw hands if some loser is harassing his kid

now unfortunately for gaz he is not very intimidating

i mean he's tall but other than that there's not much

what can i say he has too many pretty genes to look intimidating

definitely will threaten the kid with a smile on his face though

like he's the kind of guy to sorta smile through it and pretend he's having a great time but his words are saying something else

like once he finds out he'll make his daughter show him who the loser is while he walks her to school

and then he'll pull him aside and tell him that he needs to stop talking to his daughter or else it's not gonna be pretty

and even though there's a smile on his face there's something unsettling about it that has the boy unnerved

and so that day at school he's definitely trying to avoid her

and after that he stops being a problem

john price:

alright price is a certified dilf and he's also super duper protective

especially over his daughter

as soon as hears that someone is harassing her he is seeing red

unlike simon though there's no threat of him doing something rash

definitely will have to go outside and smoke a cigar though

he'll ask his daughter who the guy who's harassing her is and will then find out where he lives

and he'll ask you to talk your daughter out for ice cream and a movie and while you're gone he goes to pay the harasser a little visit

i mean when it comes to protecting his daughter price is stone cold

i mean he is more than ready to threaten this kid if he even dares to look in her direction

and he will make sure the kid knows he's serious about it too

and price will only say things once so god forbid the kid doesn't learn his lesson

if so then um

the kids gonna miss a lot of school is all im gonna say

will then pick you guys up from ice cream and a movie and ask how it was

and will tell his daughter that everything's taken care of and to let him know if the kid tries anything again

and then the next day the kid literally refuses to look at your daughter

so mission accomplished

alejandro vargas:

alright so honestly i feel like alejandro is lowkey really intimidating

like idk it's that one smile he does that's sorta unsettling if you're not viewing it through a "omg he's so hot he's my babygirl i love him" lense

so to kids he can be scary when he wants to

when he finds out someone is harassing his daughter he absolutely flips out

one thing about alejandro is he definitely has a short fuse when it comes to people disrespecting stuff he cares about

also with the cartel and stuff he's very very concerned about his daughter's well-being and how she grows up

he wants to keep her seperate from all the violence of his workplace as long as possible so he tries to keep his cool in front of her

but it's pretty obvious how mad he is (as he should)

he makes his daughter point out who the kid is the next time he picks her up from school and then tells her to wait in the car while he deals with him

since it's in public he can't really do anything drastic but he can still be really scary

like he is not afraid to show this kid a glimpse of a gun to let him know that he means business

and maybe it's kinda sadistic but he wants this kid to be wetting his pants as retribution for what he did to his daughter

and you know what it worked because when alejandro returns the car he gives her a kiss on the top of her head, tells her he's proud of her for talking to him about this, and then drives away before she can see the kid crying with a wet spot on his pants

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

ok you guys know i love rudy but we have to face the facts

he just simply is not intimidating

i mean have you seen that clip of him yelling "special forces!" as he breaches that house in texas?

im sorry but he's just too cute it doesn't work out

but just because he's not intimidated doesn't mean he can't deal with his kid's problems

he absolutely loves his daughter and wants the best for her so when he finds out someone's harassing her he's less mad and more sad that she's going through this

he definitely will make sure she is okay at first and then take her on a day out just to make sure she's happy

and then he'll speak to her teacher to try and get a better feel of what's going on

at first he would probably let the teacher handle it because unlike some of the others he's on the fence about threatening a kid

but if the teacher proves to be incapable then he will take things into his own hands

he'll pull the kid aside and try and tell him nicely to back off and stop harassing his daughter

and if that still doesn't work then the serious voice comes out and you can just tell he's ready to throw hands

which honestly is kind of intimidating in and of itself because it's such a contrast to his normal behavior

and then the next day the kid apologized and then spent the rest of the year giving his daughter plenty of space

141 reacting to their s/o getting out of danger like Jack Sparrow. All flailing arms and convoluted escape plans that just seem to work. I watched Pirates recently and I thought it'd be funny.

task force 141 + jack sparrow!reader

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: i realize now that we have completely given up on the holiday theme but oh well christmas passed anyways

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so the first time ghost was assigned to work with you he wasn't really sure what to expect

of course he had heard whispers around base about you're um.. out of the box approach to escapes and he wasn't exactly sure how to feel about it

part of him was assuming (and low-key praying) that they were nothing more than rumors that way he wouldn't have an extra thing to worry about and part of him kind of wanted it to be true because he was curious about how it would play out

that being said he's honestly just hoping you don't get into a situation where you have to pull out one of your infamous jack sparrow-esque plans

because of course that would mean that something has gone horribly wrong

that being said it is the military and so of course something goes terribly wrong

somehow you manage to get separated from the group and taken by enemy forces

which means that now ghost has to go rescue you

however you can imagine his surprise when he's on the way to sneak into the base and hears what can only be described as pure chaos going on

there's like twenty different fires going on and a lot of gunfire in what should have been a peaceful base

and in the midst of it all is you sprinting towards him, an insane but also vaguely panicked grin on your face as you flail your arms at him in an attempt to signal for him to run the other way

you manage to hotwire a car and drive out of there and meanwhile ghost is sitting in the passenger side super confused about what happened

once you're safe you explain to him what happened

along with your escape plan which you think is twenty layers of genius and he thinks is way too complicated and easily could have been cut down to like three steps

that being said it obviously worked and after that point ghost wasn't too worried about your little self-contained movie escape plans

he trusts that you'll figure out a way to escape safely and as long as the mission isn't affected he's fine

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so i can see soap as being a big fan of pirates of the caribbean so obviously he's gonna be a big fan of your whacky plans

it doesn't take him long to figure out the connection and when he does he definitely uses it to give you a new nickname

like sparrow or smthing like that (idk man i haven't watched the films)

that being said he's only ever heard about your methods through stories

either from you or from others

which is why when the two of you are stuck in an enemy base together he can't help but be more excited than scared

i wouldn't be surprised if he already has a plan of his own ready to fall back on in an emergency

but he definitely wouldn't say anything so he can be a part of your misadventures

and he's absolutely shaking with excitement as you explain it to him

obviously when it gets down to it not much goes to plan and it ends up being mostly panicked improv

but that's honestly fine with him and he thinks it's more fun that way anyways

afterwards he won't stop raving about it and how fun it was too

even if he sustained more than a few injuries because of it

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so honestly kyle doesn't know how to feel about your escape plan antics

on one hand the military side of him is saying "no do things as simple as possible" but also he loves hearing the sound of your voice, especially when it's filled with so much passion and excitement like it is when you tell him your escape stories

the thing is your escapes usually end up with you in the infirmary for quite a while when you return and he's not so much of a fan of that

but he is a fan of spending the day talking and laughing with you as you wait to be released

so yeah it's a pretty mixed bag of emotions

ig in the end he's happy that your plans make you happy, but he wouldn't ever partake in one

and it's no offense to you or anything but he just doesn't want to take the unnecessary risk

that being said he admires the way you manage to get yourself out of even the stickiest of scenarios through your little schemes

and one of the things he loves about you is your smarts

even if you utilize them in questionable ways

john price:

alright so im sorry but price definitely despises your little escapades

i mean mans is old he has had enough of this in his younger years

also he's a military captain so his job is to take care of his soldiers

so seeing you pull out your little plans with all their extra side quests and questionable steps makes his poor old man heart beat a little too fast for his liking

i mean honestly his top priority is your safety

and so he isn't necessarily the biggest fan of you taking unnecessary risks

also everytime you do it you pretty much give him a mini heart attack

he'll always try and get you to reconsider a simpler plan even though he knows you'll most likely stick with your original one

but what can i say he needs to do his due diligence

he's always praying that you make it out safe though

also if you're ever in a situation where you're stuck with him and need to escape just know that he absolutely will not allow you to pull up with some crazy convoluted plan

alejandro vargas:

alright so alejandro is sorta a mix of ghost and price

like on one hand he is a leader and he needs to reduce risk which isn't usually the same goal as your plans

but on the other hand he's been working with you long enough to know that you can usually handle yourself

usually he'll try and advise you to go with the simplest route possible

but he also won't go out of his way to convince you to do things his way either

he knows what you're capable of and as long as you walk him through your plan whenever possible he trusts that you can pull it off

he's usually there to make sure nothing goes to awry though

and if things do start to get hairy he's quick to intervene and make sure you're safe and sound

because like price safety is the biggest thing that he worries about with your plans

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so honestly rudy loves your plans

like he treats you like you're some legend and he'll have you tell him all about the adventures you've gone on while trying to escape

and he's also your biggest supporter because he'll go around telling your stories to everyone else

remember those whispers ghost heard about you?

yeah those came from rudy

(also ignore the logistics of that obviously it would be weird bc you'd be with rudy and ghost but maybe it's not weird for you idk man)

all that matters is that rudy is there for you and he will sing your praises

that being said if he's watching you enact a plan in real time he can get sorta stressed

it's sorta like watching a car crash but not in a horrific sorta way

it's like watching you and not doing anything is stressing him out big time but also he's so curious to see how it plays out he won't move unless you're like about to die

okay maybe the car crash metaphor doesn't make sense idk

but basically you're sorta like a legend to rudy

This is going to he so specific so feel free to not do this (but if you do thank you so so much) but how would the 141 + alejandro and valeria react to coming home early to surprise their s/o only to find her crying in the bathtub and cut her hair into a bob because nothing is just going for them at this point in life

task force 141 + distressed reader

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra, Valeria Garza

Warnings: um reader is going through it, also violence/guns

A/N: um u good anon?

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so it doesn't take ghost long to realize that something's going on when he gets home

the place you guys share is silent which isn't necessarily out of character but it is odd enough for him to be on edge

and then he hears you crying very faintly and he goes into panic mode

his first thought is that something bad happened or someone broke in or that you're injured

and that's really annoying because he had been planning to surprise with homemade dinner

so he drops his grocery bags and pulls out a gun and starts sweeping the house until he finds you

the good news is that there was no intruder

the bad news is that you're sobbing in the middle of the bathtub with a chunk of hair in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other

the other thing he notices is that your hair is definitely significantly shorter

ghost's not always the best at noticing small details when it comes to haircuts/spa trips but this is very obvious

because you went from long-ish hair to full on bob

honestly it's definitely doing it for him but he decides to withhold that information for the time being

he's a little taken aback and he doesn't really know what to do

he sorta scans you over and it doesn't seem like you're visibly injured so he's definitely reassured a little

he knocks on the wall so he can get your attention and when you turn to look at him it's pretty obvious you're going through it

and he hates to see you so sad but also he doesn't really know what to do

so he just sorta squats down and awkwardly pats your back while you cry

(if you've seen peacemaker it's very much like when vigilante is awkwardly rubbing peacemaker's back)

doesn't really know what to say to you though because he doesn't have much experience with people crying

definitely makes more than a few awkward comments

"i like your hair"

"did you cut it yourself?"

"do you still want dinner?"

but he's been through enough interpersonal training to not be a total idiot so he also asks if you want to talk about it

if you say no he'll gladly sit with you and continue to rub your back as you cry

and then probably let you take a nap while he cooks you your favorite dinner

and if you say yes he'll let you get it all out there

he won't say much except for the occasional grunt or head nod but you can tell he's listening

and then afterwards he'll comfort you and turn on a warm shower for you while he makes you food

he'll also clean up any fallen hair from the bathroom too

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap was really excited to get home to you because he had found something he thought you'd like at the store and he couldn't wait to give it to you

but when he opened the door and was met with crying his heart stopped

he immediately followed the sound to see you crying in the bathtub

he's not exactly the quietest guy so when he arrived you turned to face him and gestured at your hair

which was now much shorter than that morning

and cried even harder

the first thing soap does is rush to your side to give you a hug

also immediately asks about your hair because he can't help himself

now don't get him wrong he thinks you look amazing with short hair

but it was definitely a shock to see

soap's not the best at these emotionally heavy moments so he tries to lighten them up with humor

definitely makes a joke about how you should cut your hair into a mohawk so you can match with him

he keeps cracking jokes until you're able to start laughing at them

and then he'll ask you how you're doing/what happened

he'll listen to you vent about it for however long you need

and soap's a great person to vent to because he's always happy to chime in with a "oh my god no way" or a "that's so unfair you don't deserve that"

when you're finally done he'll draw a shower up for you

and then order some takeout because he's not the best cook

and then once you're out he'll turn on your favorite movie/tv show and show you what he got you

it's a little figurine from your favorite franchise that you've been wanting for a while

and then he's happy to spend the rest of the night by your side until you fall asleep

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alrighty so when the first thing gaz hears when he opens the door is the sound of crying his heart drops

gaz always always wants you to be happy so even though he doesn't know what's distressing you he knows he has to try and fix it

he immediately runs to your side as soon as he puts down his stuff

and ofc since he's military he's definitely scanning any rooms he's passing to make sure everything seems fine

he's certainly shocked to see you on the floor of the bathtub sobbing with significantly less hair

but he's slightly reassured at the fact that you're not visibly bleeding or hurt

besides your mental state of course

he's very quick to rush to your side and check up on you

he asks if you're okay and what happened

he doesn't mention the hair because he still can't really tell if that's a touchy subject

when you explain what's going on gaz's heart breaks

he feels so bad for not realizing what was going on sooner

definitely steps into the bathtub with you and holds you if you continue to cry

he can tell you kinda need this so he doesn't say much, instead he's just there to give you a shoulder to cry on

and when you've cried all the tears in your body he helps you up and takes you to the kitchen

where he makes you something quick to eat and gives you something to drink

and then he goes and gets you the gift he had been planning on surprising you with when he got home

it's a beautiful necklace with your initials on it that he's been saving up for for a while

it's not even for an anniversary or anything he just saw how beautiful it was and thought of you

john price:

alright so years of being in the military mean two things for price

one is that he is uber paranoid

so when he comes home to a relatively silent house save for the sound of you sobbing his mind immediately goes to the worst possible outcome

he is literally sprinting to you because he's so terrified that if he doesn't you will literally die

so in a weird way he's kinda relieved when he sees you in the bathtub with a new haircut

that being said he can also see you visibly sobbing which brings us to point number two

price is a people person

i mean he's literally a military captain you don't get there without having some bomb people skills

also like 1/3 of the people he meets are dead so he knows a thing or two about dealing with negative feelings

one of those things being that sometimes you just need to feel your feelings

he doesn't even say a word as he gets into the bathtub with you

just rubs your back and hands you a tissue as you cry

he trusts that you'll tell him what's wrong when you're ready so for now he's content to let you just cry your heart out

once all your tears have been let out he runs you a bath and gets you some water so you stay hydrated

and while you do that he reheats the takeout he got from your favorite place which he was planning to surprise you with

and when you come out he pours you a glass of your favorite drink

and spends the rest of the night just being there for you

alejandro vargas:

alright so alejandro is very particular about keeping his family life seperate from his work life so when he comes home to you crying his worst fear is that someone hurt you

he's already planning how he's gonna kill them let's be fr

anyways when he finds you sobbing in the bathtub he has three thoughts

1. omg you look so good with short hair gahhshdhsh

2. alright you're physically safe it appears so in a good and bad way the only thing hurt you is life itself

3. how do you kill life itself

he still doesn't have an answer for the third one

instead of continuing to wonder about that tho he instead runs to your side to see what happened

you explain it to him while he rubs your back and nods sympathetically

once you're done crying he lifts you up and starts running a bath

he also starts pampering you extensively

like he's out here running a whole spa just to make you feel better

ironically he had rushed home early to tell you he had gotten you a voucher for an all expenses spa trip next week

but he figures you could use a spa trip right now more

he also takes the opportunity to tell you how pretty you look with a bob while he's washing your hair

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

oh god bless rudy's poor soul

because his heart literally stops for like a full minute when the only thing he hears when he comes home is you crying

honestly if he didn't have such extensive military training he probably would've just stood there paralyzed with panic for like a full minute

but thankfully his training has him running to your side to see what's going on

and seeing you in tears has him in tears let's be so fr

he's immediately running to give you a hug and trying to shower you in praises in an attempt to make you feel better

honestly he's so distracted with helping you he doesn't even realize the haircut at first

and i mean he is just desperate to make sure you're okay

like he's literally falling over himself and doing everything possible to make sure that you're fine

he practically begs for you to tell him what happened so he can figure out who he needs to go fight

and like alejandro his heart literally shatters when he finds out it's not really anyone in particular but more so just life generally being annoying

but honestly rudy is so eager he would find a way to punch life in the face just for you

he's absolutely beside himself trying to take care of you

like even he has to take a minute to calm down because he's so panicked he's not thinking straight

but when his head is screwed on right he manages to run you a shower and find you a cold glass of water

when you come out is when he finally notices your haircut

and he is absolutely in love

he doesn't even usually care much about how your hair looks but seeing it short is so pretty on you

he also makes you a warm meal to eat afterwards

and it takes him until the next morning to remember to gift you the movie tickets he had been planning to surprise you with the night before

valeria garza:

okay so when valeria comes home and hears you crying she is seeing red

she doesn't know who did this to you but she knows she is going to find them and make sure they don't live to ever do it again

she's already planning out how to track them down while she's running to your side

the first thing she notices is your hair which she is in love with

and then she realizes she needs to stop focusing so much on revenge right at this moment and focus on making sure you're okay

she's quick to get in the bathtub with you and wipe away your tears

immediately asks what's wrong and will persist until you tell her

after which she will hold you to her chest and rub your back as you cry

little do you know she's trying to figure out who she can get revenge on to make this better

once you're done crying though she runs you a bath and grabs you a glass of water

and she'll stay by your side to wash you hair and just make sure you're safe

she also makes a joke about you wanting to copy her haircut

but she also lets you know how amazing she thinks you look with it

when you're out she orders some takeout and then shows you the gift she had been planning to surprise you with

it's a brand new set of clothes you had been eyeing for the past week or two

she makes you promise to wear it tomorrow because she's gonna take you out to make sure you feel better

Pairing: Simon “Ghost” Riley (Call of Duty) x Reader

Warnings: none

Summary: There are few givens in life, one is that Ghost will always wake up before you, and that he will always fall in love with you.

A/N: buhruh this was supposed to be an imagine about gingerbread cookies so how did we get to a gingerbreadless drabble so fluffy it will rot your teeth (i wrote this in like 30 mins not beta read we die like men).

There were things in life that always happened, no matter what. They were givens; undeniable truths that simply couldn’t be disputed. According to Benjamin Franklin, they meant death and taxes. According to Ghost, they meant that he would always wake up before you, and that he would always fall in love with you.

Honestly, Ghost wasn’t sure how his body always managed to wake him up before you. You were so delightful to sleep with, to wrap his arms around, to hold and caress and savor. You relaxed every tense muscle in his body, calmed every nerve. You were the only person he felt truly safe around; the only person he would let himself actually fall asleep next to.

He slept on missions, of course, but he never woke up truly rested, and he never really fell completely asleep either. He always had an ear listening for anything strange, one hand gripped around the handle of a knife. But with you, he could truly and completely shut down. He didn’t have to stay on constant alert, worried that someone would betray him. With you, he could let his walls down, he could be vulnerable, he could finally feel. He always slept so well whenever he was with you. He woke up, usually filled with a painful but satisfying soreness throughout his body, and he felt unbelievably well-rested.

There was something about you that just flipped a certain switch in his brain. You turned off his need to be constantly alert, he could sleep deeply, he could sleep for hours. But even then, every morning when he woke up, he would look over and you would still be sleeping. It happened every single time he slept with you. He could wake up at midnight, at five in the morning, at one in the afternoon, and you would still be there by his side, sleeping contentedly.

He didn’t mind it though, because those quiet moments before you woke up were some of his favorites of the entire day. That twilight world where he could roll over and smile at the way you were tangled in the sheets or pull himself closer to you and wrap his arms and legs around you. When he could just breathe in the scent of your laundry detergent and shampoo and delight in the steady rhythm of your heartbeat.

He didn’t even know how it was possible for you to fill him with so much emotion, and yet, every morning when he turned to stare at your sleeping form, he could feel his chest swell with pride and adoration that you were here, with him of all people. You, who could have chosen anybody else, who could have laughed in his face when he asked if you wanted to get drinks alone, you chose him. You chose to sleep with him, and wake up with him, and stay with him.

It felt like some cheesy time-loop movie, the way Ghost kept falling in love with you. Every morning he saw you by his side he could feel his heart tumbling further and further, leaving him breathless and love-struck. It happened every morning, like clockwork. Even if you guys had had a fight the night before, even if you hadn’t talked to him in days, especially when you hadn’t talked to him in days.

That was why it was so difficult for him to get mad at you, even when you did reckless things. When you lived life like the world was going to protect you, when you assumed that the next day was always promised, when you told him how great it would be to grow old and die together. On one hand, it was so clear to him how wrong you were. The world never protected people, the next day was never promised, and the chances of him being able to grow old with you decreased every time he picked up a gun.

But on the other hand, how could he ruin that for you? How could he take your rose-colored world and shatter it with a few simple words? And so for a while, he would torment himself, battling over whether he should tell you or not. But then you would go to sleep, and the next day he would roll over and see how beautiful you looked sleeping next to him, and he would forget about everything. And how could he not? When he saw you, it’s as if every function in his brain except for pure love and gratitude was shut off. He couldn’t think rationally when he was with you, and honestly? He didn’t want to.

He loved you more than anything in the world. He would do anything for you, kill anyone for you. He would let you live in your rose-colored world where you grew old and died together, because he knew the truth was so much worse. And besides, what would even happen if he did tell you the truth? Would you leave him? Would you find someone else who wouldn’t die on the field?

In a way, you were right, he supposed. Even if he was killed in action, Ghost knew he could never leave you. Even in death he would still be by your side, watching and admiring, unbeknownst to you. But that wasn’t enough, he needed to be able to feel you, to touch you, to smell you. He needed to feel how warm you were and know that it was because you were alive, because there was blood flowing through your veins. And he needed you to know that he was alive, and by your side, because he couldn’t imagine how drab life would be if he could never wake up and see you sleeping next to him.

And so, for the sake of his own twilight world — his world where he was safe and secure, and all rational thought was discarded as he fell in love with you over and over again — he let you stay in your rose-colored one, because if there were any givens in life, it was that he would always wake up before you, and he would always fall in love with you.

Can I ask for the 141 gang (+ Alejandro) reacting to a y/n that will yell at people in german like an angry spanish mom when angry?

task force 141 + reader yelling in german

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: explicit language, potential mistranslations/bad german

A/N: i don't speak german and i don't have a spanish mom so these are pretty short umm enjoy?

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so ghost is definitely not the kind of guy who gets caught off guard very easily

so when something goes wrong in your mission and your german starts slipping through he's not necessarily surprised

he saw in your records that you were fluent in german but you never spoke it in front of them so he was definitely a little confused when you started yelling in a foreign language

that being said german is a very fun language to be angry in so good choice anon

now ghost himself doesn't really know any german but years of being in a multinational task force has taught him a few things

he can recognize a few of the more common insults

so when you're ranting about how the team member that messed up the mission is a piece of scheiße and an arschloch

he knows you're calling him a piece of shit and an asshole

usually he just lets you blow off steam and continue ranting

partially because he doesn't want to get involved and also because he doesn't really have a clue what you're saying

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap was completely taken aback when you pulled up suddenly speaking german

it had been a really long day and as much as you love soap he just kept pestering you and it kind of pushed you over the edge and then the german came soon after

now soap does pick up languages pretty easily so he can sort of get an idea of what you're saying

but it's all happening really fast and his german just isn't good enough for him to comprehend

so he just kinda stands there and listens to you yell at him

and no offense but he also has to fight the urge to smile because 1. you're pretty when you're angry and 2. he's never seen you speak german before and you do it with such an intensity and speed he's kinda in love with you

once he feels like you've blown off all your steam he'll give you a little "you all good now?" look and if the answer seems like a yes he'll move in for the hug

and of course you apologize because you really didn't mean anything you said but everything has just piled up and you needed to get it off you chest

and he just squeezes you tighter and tells you it's all okay and he understands

and ofc it actually is all okay but he definitely does not understand

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so gaz actually took german in school so he knows it pretty well

that being said he knows a very school curriculum-centric version of german

which means he knows a lot of random phrases and not very many colloquial/casual terms

so when someone messes up your shot and almost ruins the whole mission and you start going off in rapid fire german

you know gaz is here to partially understand you and offer support in the form of very broken german

he doesn't know very many insults but you called the soldier an arsch mit ohren (ass with ears) and ding ding ding

gaz knew what that one meant

(sort of he had to take a minute to process it and derive the implied meaning from it)

afterwards he asks you to reteach him german and it becomes a thing you two do together

john price:

alright so john obviously knew you could speak german he saw it in your records

and he also tested you on it when he first recruited you onto the task force

but what he didn't expect was for it to come out when you get angry

and he also didn't expect it to be so fast lol

you were dropping insults in german faster than the speed of light fr

he knows a fair bit of german just from his time in the army and even he was struggling to keep up with you

afterwards he gives you a pat on the back and complements you on your german

you're not sure if he fully understood what you were saying though because you definitely said some things that shouldn't warrant a complement

alejandro vargas:

alright so alejandro had absolutely no idea you could speak german so the first time it came out he was flabbergasted fr

it also took him a while to understand what language you were even speaking in to start with

you were ranting to him about your day

and alejandro knows that the best thing to do is to stay silent and just let you tire yourself out during these times

and since you had started out in english he had kinda stopped listening and was only doing it halfway

but then you randomly switched to german

and it took him a moment to even recognize that you switched to another language

english is alejandro's second language and now you speaking a whole nother language

i mean alejandro is smart but mans had no idea what you were saying

that being said he's really good at reading you so he just nods/hums whenever it seems like you want him to and it works out well

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so you did mention to rudy that you knew german and he's been secretly learning it so he can surprise you with it

but one day you got really mad about this one thing and you started going off in rapid fire german

and then rudy realized that his daily duolingo lessons were nowhere close to getting him to your level

he was kinda in shock/kinda freaked out by your sudden german outburst

he knew your anger wasn't directed at him but german can be a very angry language and he was intimidated nonetheless

he lets you say your piece and then after (when he knows you're not angry anymore) he asks you to translate everything you just said

because at the end of the day rudy loves listening to you talk (even if it is in german) and he wants to be able to understand what you're saying

Hiiii I was wondering if you can write something about 141 and a chubby s/o. If you don’t want to that’s alright. I just can’t find any fics with representation 😭😭💕 have a wonderful day or night

task force 141 + chubby!s/o

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: body descriptions for reader, explicit language

A/N: glarbonbargain sorry these are short i just feel like there's not much to elaborate on w/o it getting repetitive. if there's anything i missed that you want me to focus on tho send in another ask and i'll do it

simon "ghost" riley:

okay let's be serious ghost does not care how you look

like don't get me wrong he loves you, he loves your body, he loves the way you look

but he doesn't need you to look a certain way in order for him to have those feelings

honestly he just doesn't see the point in fussing over how your body looks, especially compared to others

in his opinion, the purpose of your body is to allow you to complete tasks to the best of your abilities and as long as your body can do that he doesn't care how you look

one thing he does want for you is a healthy lifestyle though

and of course he understands that weight does not equal health

as long as you're getting all your nutrients and maintaining strong heart/muscle health he's happy no matter how you look

(off topic but ghost is a strong believer in good heart health, as he should)

he just wants you to be able to live your best life with him

and he doesn't see the point in spending time fussing over your body

john "soap" mactavish:

okay so unlike ghost soap is more opinionated about your body

and his opinion is that he fucking loves it

he's always taking any chance he gets to let you know that too

he tends to do it verbally through words of encouragement/affirmation

he says it's because it's the easiest way to make sure you get the message but with the sheer volume of compliments he gives you sometimes you wonder if he just likes the sound of his own voice

that being said he'll also show his love for you through physical touch too

whenever he gets the chance he's quick to have his hands all over you

he just likes the way you feel what can i say

it's a welcome alternative to all the heavy and hard equipment he has to deal with on a daily basis

plus you're a sight for sore eyes and you provide a welcome reprieve from all the sweaty buff men he has to stare at all day

especially when he'd rather be staring at you

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so like soap gaz is definitely more appreciative about your body than ghost's total neutrality

honestly it was one of the things about you that caught his eye when he first saw you

he really likes your body and he won't let you try and berate yourself about it

sometimes if you're really having a bad day or something and you're complaining to him about how you dislike your body or whatever he'll have to stop himself from getting too frustrated

because for gaz it's so clear to him how your body is an asset and not a burden

and so it really pains him when you don't see yourself the same way

he does his best to be your hype man during these times

because he wants you to see yourself the way he sees you

john price:

alright with age comes maturity and with maturity comes not giving a fuck about trivial things like body types or standards

like ghost price has a sort of practical view when it comes to body image

as long as you're healthy and happy, he's happy

he's definitely more of a body neutrality over body positivity kinda guy

he understands that sometimes you'll have good days and sometimes you'll have bad days

and while he's never shy to give you a compliment he wants you to go on that journey of self acceptance by yourself

he's old enough to know that not everything is permanent and he doesn't want your confidence to be reliant on his words or compliments, especially because there's no guarantee he'll be alive the next day to give you those words or compliments

he's just happy if you're happy at the end of the day

alejandro vargas:

alright so alejandro absolutely loves your body

it's one of his favorite things about you besides your face

and he'll make sure it's drilled into your head just how much he loves you

he's never too busy to drop a compliment

sometimes they're about your body and sometimes they're not

but either way they always get your confidence going

another thing about alejandro is that he is a firm believer in that you look your best when you're confident

so he'll do whatever he can to hype you up and see you like that on a daily basis

honestly as long as you're by his side though he doesn't give two shits about how you look

he's just happy to be along for the ride what can i say

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so rudy just wants to make you feel loved and happy

so if you express any kind of dissatisfaction over your body he will literally sprint to your side so he can make you feel better about it

off topic super quick though but he's honestly not the kind of guy to mention it unprompted

like even though rudy is babygirl he's mature enough to not care about that stuff

and if left unprovoked he'll just assume that you're as in love with your body as he is

but of course if he finds out otherwise then it's a different story

and rudy has some really great compliments to make you feel better

in another hc im like 90% sure i pitched the idea that rudy majored in art/art history so he's definitely gonna bring up the fact that body types like yours literally fueled the renaissance

he'll tell you that you look like you hand sculpted by whatever deity you choose

and that it's like you were made just for him

i mean he's like the rest of these boys he wants you to be as happy as possible

task force 141 + hot cocoa bombs

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: got kinda distracted for a bit but now we're back to the true holiday stuff (i'll get to requests soon, maybe after christmas dw)

alright so price organized this as a "team building exercise"

it's in quotes because you're pretty sure it's just a way for him to get the brass to fund a day off

he called everyone to the kitchen at like nine in the morning for a mandatory training session

but of course when everyone arrives they're met with chocolate chips, hot cocoa packets, silicon molds, and an unnecessary amount of sprinkles

gaz is the first person to figure out what's going on because he made hot cocoa bombs with his family the first time they were trending

also because gaz and christmas desserts go together like milk and cookies

ofc rudy freaks out when he learns this because he's always wanted to make hot cocoa bombs but he's never gotten around to it

soap is intrigued but mainly by the bomb part

alejandro is excited because of the hot cocoa and also because rudy's so excited

and ghost is uh

on the fence to say the least

he definitely asks if this is necessary

and price gives him a pat on the back and says obviously

price also lets them know that they each have to make their own

and then chaos ensues

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so to start simon wasn't really into the whole idea but as time went on he started warming up to it

really he's just warming up to the idea of making a better hot cocoa bomb than soap

he assumed it would be pretty easy after hearing price explain the steps but he found out the hard way that it was definitely not

he ended up having to restart multiple times but so did everyone else so it worked out in the end

the first time he didn't melt his chocolate well and it wasn't smooth at all

so he tried melting it more and promptly ended up burning it

tried another time and it went well, except when he went to take it out he immediately crushed it

tried making it thicker but then it ended up being way too thick and he couldn't get the chocolate to melt when he put the milk over it

but finally after endless teasing from soap he managed to get the perfect thickness

he used dark chocolate too because he's not really a sweets kinda guy

also chocolate has a tendency to clog up his throat and when it's sweet it makes it even worse

plus the darker color makes it look more classy in his opinion

also he was initially just gonna leave it plain but then he looked over and saw what the others were doing and decided he needed to step it up

so he took some white chocolate and made a little skull on all of his

he also took some melted chocolate and drew little skull faces on all the marshmallows he put inside

and tbh they all turned out really well

which isn't that surprising when you consider all the arts and crafts he does to make his mask

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap was kinda disappointed when price showed them a video of hot cocoa bombs

mainly because he assumed there would be an actual explosion involved

not just melting chocolate

but chocolate is chocolate and as long as soap gets to snack on the marshmallows and chocolate chips as he works he's more than happy to participate

he was actually able to get a good consistency and thickness the first time he did it

but then he accidentally knocked all of his bombs off the counter and they shattered

literally saw his life flash before his eyes when it happened too

also ghost definitely laughed at him for this

so then he started making a second batch when ghost made a comment about not really liking hot chocolate

so soap joked that he should put some tea in there instead

and ghost just stared at him like "what the hell did you just say"

and soap just stared at him back

and this went on for like a good minute

but then soap ended up burning his chocolate

except for some reason he figured that if he kept on cooking it it would melt again and be fine

it was not fine

his chocolate did in fact end up catching on fire

he ended up throwing the whole pot out in the snow

and now it just sits there

but like they say third time's the charm because his cocoa bombs came out well and didn't shatter or burst into flames

he made them out of white chocolate and then dyed them an army green

and he ended up decorating them like grenades

bc he's still salty that there was no explosion involved

also he definitely used a blow torch to melt it instead of hot milk

he wanted to use a flame thrower but price wouldn't let him

kyle "gaz" garrick:

bro gaz do not come out to play when it comes for holiday treats let's be fr

it's not even a competition but he was ready to be crowned cocoa bomb champion

literally the poster boy of first time best time

because he's able to get his chocolate at the perfect consistency and thickness first try

okay ig technically it's not his first try since he did it with his family but he also got it first try then too so the idea still stands

he just somehow manages to prepare really really well for these things

like he will take over an hour to just watch recipe after recipe and come up with a design

speaking of designs gaz took inspiration from his favorite film lol

that's right loyal readers gaz made a grinch hot cocoa bomb

he dyed some white chocolate green for the shell

and then used various colors of melted white chocolate to do the details

and bro gaz had no business being as good at it as he was

like he could open up a business with the quality of hot cocoa bombs he was making

also everyone kept going to gaz for help because he was the only one who knew what he was doing

and later he ended up packaging them up and saving them so he could bring some back to his family

john price:

alright so like ghost price also expected it to be easy

but the problem he faced is that price has a tendency to run hot

so the chocolate kept melting in his hands

and then his hot cocoa bombs would be all sorts of wonky shapes

at first he assumed it was just that his chocolate melted weird but he tried like three different kinds but they all kept melting

at this point he had to go sit outside for a bit and smoke a cigar in shame

ended up returning after a while

gaz offered to make one for him but he refused

this time he was determined to make one without it melting so easily

so he did everything like usual

melted the chocolate

put it in the molds

but when it came time to actually take the stuff out and touch the chocolate

price went out and got a bowl of snow from outside

and then proceeded to dunk his hands in the snow every like two minutes

by the end of it his hands were red and super numb

but it was worth it because he was able to put his hot cocoa bomb together without any help

that being said he did not have the patience to decorate it

so his was just a brown sphere

but you bet he was proud of his brown sphere

alejandro vargas:

alright so chocolate is actually alejandro's weak spot

so tbh most of his time was spent snacking on the chocolate chips

also he spent a lot of time watching rudy make his so he could learn from him

and also it gave him extra time to snack on chocolate

he was also able to learn from rudy's mistakes too

also you know that he made himself a cup of hot cocoa to drink while making his hot cocoa bomb

correction he made a cup of ibarra

he insists it's different from regular hot cocoa bc it's better

and he also uses this to fill up his hot cocoa bomb

since he was able to learn from rudy he's actually able to get it down first try

one of his was too thin and shattered though but he was smart and made multiple (rudy made multiple first and gave alejandro the idea)

he ended up filling his with ibarra and more chocolate chips

and he used milk chocolate because he likes sweet things

ended up using some food coloring and alcohol to make some edible paint

and decorated it like an ornament

he then painted a rolo silver and put it on top to really complete the look

and he was so proud of it he went around showing everyone

rudy definitely watched on like a proud mother

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so rudy was sooo hyped to make the hot cocoa bombs

literally ask alejandro because rudy has been sending him videos of hot cocoa bombs daily for the past three weeks

so this has been brewing for a very long time

started off very very strong

but the immediately burnt his chocolate

he was so confused about it too because he didn't even really chocolate could burn

he asked alejandro to come taste some and he knew something was up when alejandro immediately spit it out

he tried some himself and had to immediately get a glass of water to wash it down

lord knows he was so confused too

he kept talking about it too after the fact

"geez, i can't believe it burnt."

"did you guys know chocolate could burn?"

"i didn't realize chocolate could burn."

literally the embodiment of the whole scratching your head joke but it's adorable and i love him so it's okay

once he gets over that though he starts again

this time alejandro is watching too

he keeps asking alejandro for help even though he also doesn't know what's going on

eventually tho they made it through and rudy was able to make his hot cocoa bombs

he ended up piping out some little chocolate antlers and using alejandro's edible paint to draw a reindeer face with a red nose

bc yk what rudy has an attachment to rudolph the red nosed reindeer

task force 141 + ice skating

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: screaming crying throwing up i have my two hardest finals tmmrw halp

guys we've finally got the gang back together

alright so let's be real for a minute

the 141 is definitely not the kind of group to coordinate an ice skating date outside of work

i mean can you imagine like six grown behemoth men at an ice skating rink with like some rando child whizzing around while half of them struggle to even get on the ice

yeah right

so when they do ice skate i see it happening while they're on duty

it's winter (duh) and they're up north so it's extra cold

the base they're staying is right next to a giant lake, which has finally frozen over

gaz was the first to notice

he was eating some breakfast (cocoa puffs) and he looked out the window and saw the lake all icy

and he pointed it out to price who was drinking some coffee and reading the newspaper on the couch

price got up to go check it out too (and u bet he did that thigh slap grunt combo men do)

and gaz was right, the lake was completely solid

and i like to think that the 141 usually has breakfast together/hangs out in the commons in the morning

so price asks if everyone wants to go skating

ofc most of them are happy to say yes

ghost needs some convincing but he gets there eventually

for some reason that base had a bunch of skates

but it worked out so no one's complaining

and don't ask how they had the right sizes or why they would be there in the first place (it's through the power of i have to sleep soon and i can't come up with an explanation rn)

so everyone starts making their way outside to the lake

alright time for some super speedy individual headcanons

simon "ghost" riley:

sorry but ghost definitely does not know how to skate

that's one of the reasons he was so apprehensive to join

it's hard to look intimidating when ur falling on ur butt

and it's not like he has a wall to hold onto

this is also his first time ice skating because he never got to do it as a kid

so yeah going into it he was pretty nervous

he doesn't even have the best balance to start out

but he's a fast learner and he was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly

definitely fell over a few times

much to the delight of soap who got to gloat as he helped him up

and ghost definitely said something like "watch your tone sergeant im still your commanding officer" to try and defend himself

it was not very effective

but once he gets the hang of it he can actually skate surprisingly well

he doesn't skate very long though until he goes back inside

much to the disappointment of everyone else

definitely skates with his hands at his side or in his pockets tho

except one time he almost face planted bc he couldn't use his hands to catch himself

so now he's extra paranoid about skating with his hands in his pockets (as he should don't skate with your hands in your pockets, it's dangerous)

john "soap" mactavish:

surprisingly good at ice skating

skated around a lot when he was a kid

roller skating and ice skating

so it comes pretty natural to him

he hadn't done it in a while but skating sorta like riding a bike in that you never really forget once you know how

he can do the like crossovers and stuff but not any super fancy tricks

def knows how to skate backwards tho

likes to skate super fast and then just go around in loops

laughs at ghost whenever he falls but ways helps him back up

he also had to teach ghost how to even skate

ghost was not very happy about that arrangement

but only because soap kept joking that ghost looked like bambi

ghost got his revenge though when after soap laughed at ghost for falling, he immediately faceplanted

and it was like a comical faceplant

his legs almost went over his head and everything

soap had to go inside after that because he got a bloody nose

in the end it was fine though and he went out and kept skating

soap's definitely the kinda guy to build up speed and then coast on the momentum with his arms out to his side

it makes him feel cool what can i say

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so gaz is a pretty decent skater

he's gone a few times recently with his younger siblings

so he knows the very basics

he's definitely a little more timid about it though

especially after watching everyone else keep falling over

for what it's worth he never fell over once tho

but he was also super duper paranoid about falling through the ice

he had to help out price a little bit too at the beginning

he wasn't very good at it though so soap ended up taking over

definitely is a more mild skater

he's just down to coast and do whatever

he gets cold pretty easily too so he's usually rubbing his arms or his hands together while he skates

also is really really really bad at stopping

especially since there's no wall

so he just kept continuously skating like the entire time

and then he had to coast until his momentum ran out when he wanted to go inside

john price:

alright so price skated a little when he was younger imo

he went on a lot of roller skating and ice skating dates back when he was a young adult

but it's been a long time since then and so it was kinda hard for him to get back into it

so he had gaz and soap help him at the beginning

after a while though he got back into the rhythm

and he started to get more and more gutsy

and started to try little tricks that he was able to do before

skating backwards, turning a little, those fancy stops where they like skid on the ice

at one point he messed up and fell though

and like a true old man he hurt his back

and lord was it a struggle to get off the ice

he had to get gaz and soap to come help him up

when he went back inside ghost was drinking some tea and asked him why he was holding his back like that

for fear of sounding like an old man, price told ghost it was nothing

the next morning though his back was super stiff though

but nothing he's never experienced before

alejandro vargas:

bro man's is actually cracked at skating

like price he definitely went on ice skating dates back when he was a young adult

but unlike price alejandro has actual moves

like he can skate backwards, forwards, on one leg, he can do turns, jumps

it's actually insane

like nobody knows how he got this good and he refuses to tell anyone anything except that he just went on a lot of ice skating dates

because the truth is that one year he had a crush on this girl who was super into figure skating

so he spent like the entire year watching figure skating clips from the winter olympics and stuff and practicing and his local skating rink so he could impress her

she ended up moving away before he could show her though

but he still kept on practicing because at that point he had just sorta fallen in love with ice skating

so yeah when he pulled up on that lake he shocked everyone

alejandro spent a lot of time helping rudy too

and yes they did that thing where alejandro held rudy's hands and skated backwards while rudy got pulled forward

i mean it's a skating staple it has to happen

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so like ghost rudy's never skated before

he didn't realize they had a skating rink and he's also not really a fan of the cold

like i said before he tends to run cold so he needs a lot of jackets when he goes skating

alejandro had to teach him bc rudy truly had no idea how to do it

unlike ghost he was not successful quickly so alejandro spent most of the time holding his hand and guiding him

he definitely fell down a lot of times

wanted to give up at one point but alejandro made him keep going

and it was worth it because pretty soon after that he started to get the hang of it

he actually really enjoys ice skating

what can i say it makes him feel like elsa

definitely jokingly did elsa's hand movements and pretended he was controlling the ice or something

he had to start off skating super duper slow though because he was really nervous about falling

but by the end he was able to speed up and live his ice queen dreams

taken by surprise

Pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley (Call of Duty) x Reader

Type: Fluff, drabble

Summary: You ask Ghost to help you decorate, and he surprises you.

Warnings: Explicit language, kissing

A/N: hard man being soft trope my beloved.

alright so imagine this. it's early december at the base; the weather is bordering on frosty, the last leaves are falling, and that crisp winter smell is filling the air. the team's recently returned from a recon mission, which usually means a short break for you guys as the analysts look over the information you guys brought back. the initial day of rest where everyone goes out for drinks and then immediately passes out is over, which means there isn't much to do besides train, and decorate, of course.

you start the morning off by going to ghost's room, an excited smile on your face as you knock on the door. it takes a while before you hear the sound of feet shuffling, and when ghost opens the door, he's wearing his trademark mask, minus the eyeblack.

"jesus christ, kid," he groans, squinting at you, "why the fuck are you waking me up this early?"

you smile sweetly at him, and he can feel his annoyance subsiding. "wanna help me decorate the base?" you ask.

he stares at you like you're crazy for a moment, but you know better than to get intimidated, so you keep smiling at him. "sure," he finally said with a sigh, "give me a second."

"perfect," you say, clapping your hands together. "hurry up, i'll go warm up the car."

it's not long until the two of you are running around stores, looking for ornaments, lights, garland, and of course, a tree. you really wanted to get a real one this year, but there's not any farms nearby and besides, you didn't feel like going through the hassle of bringing it home.

ghost's been acting pretty nonchalant about all of this, but every once in a while his mask slips and you can tell he cares about this. for example, you were looking at some string lights to hang along the mantle above the stockings. the lights were a really tacky magenta, and then all of a sudden, you heard him behind you, telling you to "not buy them because they'll clash with the red stockings."

honestly you never really planned on buying the magenta lights, you were just looking at the pricing, but the fact that he noticed you looking at them, and had the foresight to realize they would clash with the stockings surprised you. frankly, before then you didn't even think he knew what the concept of colors clashing was.

but that wasn't the only time he surprised you. it was after you guys had returned from shopping; the two of you were in the common area setting up the tree. you were decorating the front with ornaments when you realized you were starting to run low. no problem, you would just decorate the back a little less. but ghost stopped you and insisted that you save some ornaments to decorate the back of the tree, because "you can't just leave half of the tree undecorated."

but sometime in the late afternoon, ghost gets called to price's office and you lose your best assistant. you tried asking soap to help you, but he kept getting distracted or messing up your directions, so you went off to find ghost.

you see him walking down a hall, so you call out his name and chase after him. he waits for you to catch up, before continuing to walk. when you reach the end of the hallway though, he let's out a soft "fuck" and reaches up to rub his head. the two of you look up to see what he hit, and that's when you see it: a sprig of mistletoe.

your eyes fall to stare at his, your lips slightly parted. ghost thinks you look so pretty like this; he wishes he could take a picture. he let's his eyes flicker down to your mouth, noticing the way you bite your bottom lip nervously. "did you put this here?" he asks, his voice low.

"no, did you?"

he shakes his head. your heart pounds in your chest as you stare at him, and you can't help but hope that he wants to kiss you.

"ah well, it's a dumb tradition anyways," he says, and you can feel your face fall.

ghost notices, and it catches him off guard. were you disappointed that he didn't kiss you? he didn't think you would be, after all he didn't think you liked him. but the way you deflated when he said that has him questioning everything, and the way your eyes keep flickering to his lips has to be sign you want this as bad as he does, right?

he sees you lick your lips and then it's like the dam bursts. "fucking hell," he groans, lifting his mask and pressing his lips to yours in one fluid movement.

he can tell he took you by surprise by the way you stiffened at first, but once you register what's happening you relax, closing your eyes and kissing him back. he wants to kiss you more, to press you against the wall and leave marks on your neck, but then he hears the heavy stomping of soap's boots coming around the corner.

ghost pulls away from you, admiring the way your eyes are wide and your lips are red. he smirks at you before pulling his mask back down, right as soap arrives.

"woah," soap says, his voice teasing, "am i interrupting something?"

"that's enough, mactavish," ghost says, rolling his eyes, shooting you a glance, and you can see the grin under his mask.

task force 141 + stocking stuffers

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Type: Fluff, headcanons

Warnings: none

A/N: gshshhshd posted part 2 to the right thing to do today and now im writing this to help the anxiety

kyle "gaz" garrick:

ok so i feel like gaz is a little bit of a nerd/geek

so he enjoys getting little figurines/action figures of characters from shows/movies/games he likes

think like funko pops

he likes to set them up along his desk in his room

and sometimes he pretends they're watching him while he works

his favorite candy to get in his stocking is peanut m&ms

he's just a fan of all kinds of peanut chocolate candies and i can't even blame him

peanut m&ms slap

in terms of getting things for other people

gaz always goes with a classic gift card

he will, however, make sure that the gift card matches with their favorite store

john price

price's favorite thing to get in his stocking is puzzle books

crossword puzzles, word searches, sudokus, riddles, etc.

anything and everything puzzle based he loves

he likes bringing them with him on missions when he has a spot of free time

they're relaxing to him and they keep his mind young

he's also insanely good at doing puzzles

but he's also had years and years of practice

he also got to go on npr and play the puzzle with weekend edition puzzle master will shortz a few years back

he also did really well and so now he never shuts up about it

whenever he pulls out his puzzle book it's followed by a comment about his time on npr

in terms of what he likes to get for other people he usually gets them candy

you know those plastic candy canes filled with different kinds of candy?

yeah price will buy like three of them for each team member and then call it a day

but of course he gets each team member their favorite candy

he also lets them get away with more stuff during the holidays

i.e. skipping chores, training, etc.

oh yeah i almost forgot this but price lives getting socks in his stocking

fuzzy socks, normal socks, thermal socks, patterned socks

he's really just a fan of socks in general

simon "ghost" riley:

ghost doesn't really have a favorite thing to get in his stocking

but his favorite thing is always whatever you get him

even if it's something stupid or small

one time you got him a customized pocket knife and he's kept it with him ever since

but usually he enjoys whatever little knick knacks people put in his stocking

and in general the stuff he gets are more practical then sentimental

and oml when it comes to things ghost gets for other people

ghost is actually insane at gift giving it's unreal

everything that everyone else likes? that's exactly what he gets them

part of it is because he's so observant he can always tell what people enjoy

and the other thing is that he's so good at reading people he knows exactly how they feel about the gifts they get

but like ghost is the kind of guy to get you smthing you mentioned back in january

and he always makes sure to get exactly what people want, even if it's super inconvenient for him

it's hard for ghost to be vulnerable and so giving these little stocking stuffers which are traditionally seen as sorta trivial lets him show everyone in the team just how much he loves them without making a big deal out of it

john "soap" mactavish:

ok before we get to soap's favorite stocking stuffers here's his least favorite stocking stuffer

soap

that's it

every year, everyone on the team gets him soap for his stocking stuffers

sometimes it's a bar of soap, sometimes it's three in one, one time someone got him a soap from lush (he actually really enjoyed it)

so every christmas season soap gets way too many soaps than he needs

usually he sends most of them to a local shelter and then keeps one for himself

now onto his favorite stocking stuffer

i feel like soap is actually an avid collector of lighters

but not normal lighters like novelty lighters

so like lighters with cool colored flames or cool shapes

everyone on the team knows about his collection so they're always on the lookout for cool lighters when they're on missions

so as a result he has a ton of lighters from like all over the world

i think the funniest thing is he doesn't even use them

sometimes he'll light a cigarette with them or fiddle with them but for the most part he keeps them in his room

he's very protective of them though and he doesn't let anyone use it without permission

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

rudy's favorite thing to get in his stocking is mini lego sets

and yes he like big lego sets for his actual gifts too

he's liked legos ever since he was a little kid so it only makes sense

he likes getting the mini holiday sets but he also likes getting those minifigure sets where you try and get all of the characters

he also composes a year long list every year of sets that he wants

he really likes the lego technic car sets too

in terms of what he gets other people

he'll usually make something homemade for them

like cookies or smthing

and then he makes key chain minifigures of them and puts them in their stockings

and they're like surprisingly accurate

it's very very cute

most team members keep them on their key rings or in their bags

he makes new ones every year and he'll even custom make faces and clothes to make them accurate

alejandro vargas:

alejandro's favorite thing to get in his stocking are hygiene products

i know that sounds weird but lemme explain

by hygiene products i mean grooming stuff, face masks, etc.

i feel like alejandro is the kind of guy who isn't scared to pamper himself and take care of his skin/body

so whenever christmas comes around he always asks for skin care/hair care stuff

he always tries to get the rest of the team to join him and he can usually get most of them on board

all of them except ghost of course

but soap, rudy, price, gaz, and him will always have a spa day/hair day after christmas

when it comes to getting other people stuff alejandro likes getting them skincare too

this way when they have their spa day everyone has facemasks and hair products, etc to use

nobody knows how but alejandro is actually really good at knowing what kind of skin everyone has

and he always gets them products aligned with their skin

but along with skincare he also gets everyone cash for the stockings

usually around $25-$35 for each person

task force 141 + santa claus

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: debates over santa's reality

A/N: off topic but könig definitely believed in and was terrified of krampus (same)

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so kinda sad but simon never believed in santa

when he was a kid his mom used to tell him about santa and how he brought gifts to good people

but simon never believed it because both his brother and father got gifts during christmas and in simon's opinion they weren't good people

plus he spent a lot of his nights staying up reading under the covers as a child

and one night when he was around eight or nine years old he heard a lot of shuffling in the middle of the night on christmas eve

so he went out to investigate and what did he see?

his mom setting up christmas presents under the tree

(mb i did not mean for that to rhyme)

it wasn't really shocking to him because he knew santa wasn't real by then

but he had never really put together that it was just his mom buying the gifts

he never said anything about it though because he didn't want to give his mom a harder time

later on as he got older a lot of the magic around christmas started dying too because his parents would fight about finances and stuff

but honestly as he grew up and met the 141 christmas has started to take on a new kind of magic

and he prefers that to santa any day

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap's mom definitely tried to use santa as a parenting technique for soap bc he was a real problem child

she'd always tell him he had to do this or that or else santa wouldn't get him gifts, etc.

none of it really worked on soap though

maybe when he was really young he believed in santa

but then one day he was hanging out around the park and he overheard some older kids talking about how santa wasn't real

and little soap had his mind blown

but he wasn't really disappointed by it

moreso he was like... enlightened?

basically in young soap's mind, older kids = cool kids

so therefore if they don't believe in santa, then he shouldn't believe in santa so he can be cool too

so then whenever his mom would try to get him to do stuff and use santa as leverage he'd always smirk to himself because he knew it wasn't true

didn't make a fuss over it though because he definitely was aware of everything his mom did for him and he didn't want to make her life harder

off topic but why do i feel like soap's dad was out of the picture so it was just him and his mom

definitely went to school and told everyone santa wasn't real though

and yes he thought he was super cool for doing so

kyle "gaz" garrick:

honestly i don't think gaz's family ever really talked about santa

like it just wasn't a thing in his house

like obviously he knew who santa was conceptually

but his parents never tried to pretend that santa was a thing or anything so he had no reason to believe in it

he always went gift shopping for his mom with his dad when he was younger so he knew where the presents came from

however when it comes to his younger siblings

gaz most definitely wants them to believe santa exists

he's always using it as leverage when they're acting out too and it works like a charm

he also does elf on the shelf with them too

whenever he returns home for the holidays he always stays up late so he can readjust the elf into crazy positions because he knows they go crazy over it

he also has one at his house and he tapes little trinkets like lightsabers or captain america's shield to it

he never had that kind of magic as a kid so he just wants to recreate it for his siblings

john price:

alright so price probably has the most basic relationship with santa

he believed in him up until he was around ten or eleven

and then he stopped believing

also price can definitely relate to the whole 'i saw mommy kissing santa claus' thing

i feel like his dad used to dress up as santa claus whenever he set up the presents

and one christmas eve he couldn't sleep so he went downstairs for a glass of milk

i think you can imagine his surprise when he saw his mom giving santa claus a kiss in front of the fireplace

the next morning he also ran to tell his dad that his mom was in an affair with santa claus

to which his dad just chuckled and ruffled his hair ofc

price then went on to tell people at his school when he returned from break and that's when someone told him santa wasn't real

he definitely with through like twenty existential crises that year

definitely was terrified his parents were gonna split up over it

he eventually figured it out after a while though

however if given the chance he would also dress up as santa claus when he set up gifts for his future family

alejandro vargas:

alright so like gaz i don't think alejandro's family talked about santa much

but then one day he went to school and he heard rudy talking about santa and his mind was blown

he was definitely skeptical at first about the logistics of it all

and he was definitely the kind of kid that pointed out how creepy the concept of someone perpetually watching you was

but rudy was so enthusiastic about it he let himself he convinced

that day he went home and he told his parents about santa

and they just chuckled and told him santa wasn't real

but alejandro trusted rudy so he just assumed his parents were lying

that year he and rudy established a grand scheme to capture santa as proof that he did in fact exist

they had everything planned out too

and then on christmas eve they set everything up and waited

ofc santa wasn't showing up and he could tell rudy was getting discouraged

so he told rudy to sleep and he would take watch

ofc he ended up falling asleep too

but when they woke up all the presents were there

at that point alejandro had realized that santa wasn't real but he didn't want to ruin it for rudy so he kept pretending

they ended up coming up with new plans to catch santa every year

none of them worked but it was some of the best memories he had with rudy so he has no regrets

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright so honestly rudy's family didn't go very hard on santa but rudy did

the first time they told him about it it was sorta casual but rudy latched on and latched on hard

it worked out because he was always a good kid because he was terrified of getting coal in his stockings

his parents also had to make his siblings swear not to tell him the truth too

so everyone was just enabling his santa belief

it got to the point where even if someone tried to tell him the truth he simply wouldn't believe them

i mean he was so into the idea of santa claus

this man talked about him like he was the second coming of christ fr

besides his favorite part of the year was having a christmas eve sleepover with alejandro as they tried to stay up all night and catch santa claus

ofc they always ended up falling asleep at some point so it wasn't very effective

at a certain point though, maybe when rudy was twelve or maybe even thirteen, he just sorta stopped believing in santa

but he didn't say anything to alejandro because he really liked their sleepovers

eventually though it turned into less catching santa sleepovers and more just hanging out sleepovers

he would definitely try to keep the magic alive though for any kids he comes across

task force 141 + new years

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Warnings: none

A/N: um the pre new years depression is hitting me hard so im gonna listen to the same music a hs boy would to make it better. see you guys next year :)

alright so good lord i don't think anyone in the task force can really accept that it's already new years oh god

like they're all really busy all the time and so the year has a tendency to just fly by

that being said the task force is more than ready to say goodbye to 2022 and say hello to 2023

of course soap is the first to propose a new year's party

complete with lots of champagne, new years resolutions, and of course lots of celebrating

and yes they will all be passed out and hungover come morning

anyways

simon "ghost" riley:

alright so even though he isn't a party person in the spirit of growth ghost decides to attend the entirety of soap's little party

and you know what it was a really good idea

his new year resolution this year was to try and open up a little more

obviously he's still gonna be ghost when it comes to work, but with the people he loves he's gonna try and lower his walls a little

anyways it turns out to be a pretty fun decision

leading up to midnight he's still pretty much his old ghost self

not really getting into the party too much, sorta just lurking in the corners, you get it

but after the ball drops and everyone else is getting even more and more drunk

ghost lets himself loose a little

definitely starts drinking and interacting more

and by the end of the night he's almost completely out of his shell

turns out with enough alcohol even ghost becomes just another regular guy

he's cracking really bad jokes, laughing at everyone else's really bad jokes, and generally just having a really good time

and yes if you guys are together he will give you a new years kiss

even if he has sneak away to do it

john "soap" mactavish:

alright so soap is really hyped for new years

he's pregaming way before he needs to pregame let's be honest

and when the festivities do start you know soap's gonna be the life of the party

he's definitely getting into way too many drinking games than he should lol

it doesn't take him very long to get stupid drunk

when midnight comes he's screaming the loudest during the countdown

he's had enough of this year and he is more than ready to send it off

and when the ball drops he is screaming as loud as possible

will definitely immediately give you a kiss too

this year soap's new years resolution is to make the most out of every day

it's kinda a cop out resolution he'll admit but that's the one he sets pretty much every year so it's practically tradition at this point

besides he thinks he does a pretty good job completing it

he's a lot more familiar than he would like with how easy it is to die

i mean he is in life or death scenarios like every other week

so it's just important for him that he goes out with no regrets

kyle "gaz" garrick:

alright so gaz gets pretty introspective during the new years

like before all the partying and the alcohol comes out he likes to take the time to step back and really analyze the year

he tries to make each year better than the last and so he always looks at last year's shortcomings to see where he needs to improve

this year his new year's resolution is to fall out of less helicopters

just kidding

his resolution is to try and spend more time with you and his family

this year gaz is all about showing the people he loves just how much he cares about them

after his many near death experiences, he's realized that the next day really isn't promised and it's important to let people know how much you love them

that being said when it gets to the party any introspective is gone for the night

gaz is ready to get drunk and have a good time

he's definitely doing karaoke after a few drinks

and when the ball drops get ready to experience the most mind blowing kiss ever

john price:

alright so like gaz price tends to get pretty introspective during the new years

part of it is just who he is and part of it comes from his military training

he's always trying to be better and improve

and so his new year's resolutions are chances for him to do that

this year his resolution is to increase his mentorship when it comes to the task force

he trusts that ghost can be a good successor if he dies, but he also wants to make sure gaz and soap are prepared as well

ik it's kinda a bummer way to start the year, preparing for your own death, but it's the military what can i say

that being said any pre new years angst is out the window when it's time to start the party

price may be prepared to die but he's also prepared to start the year off right

he's very very happy counting down the seconds with a drink in his hand and his arm wrapped around you

and you can feel him smile against you as he gives you your new years kiss

alejandro vargas:

alright so tbh idk where the origins of this superstition come from but ive heard of a lot of hispanic people doing it so ig it fits

but alejandro is definitely getting under the table and eating his grapes

him and rudy too because they've done it together every year since they met

honestly he's not too big on new years resolutions just because he feels like he always ends up being so busy with work he ends up forgetting

so he just lets his grape wishes do the work for him lol

some of the things he's wishing for is being alive (duh), wealth, love, etc.

i mean it's really all the classics

when it comes to the party alejandro is ready to get drunk and have a good time

definitely cheers pretty loudly once it strikes midnight

is also a big fireworks enthusiast

you'll have to sit under the table with him if you want a new years kiss tho sorry

he'll give you a quick peck, eat all his grapes, and then give you a better kiss once he's done

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

alright rudy's definitely the kind of guy to get sad during new years

and honestly me too rudy me too

idk man rudy just feels like the years go by way too fast

so this year his new year's resolution is to make more memories to make the year seem longer

like alejandro he also gets under the table and does the grape thing

it's something alejandro taught him when they first met and it's one of his favorite traditions

he gets very stressed about eating all the grapes tho

but usually if he rushes he can get them all in

he'll kiss you once he's done with his grapes that way he can focus all his attention on you

and the party is honestly a great way for him to start of his new year's resolution off right and fight off the new year depression

because it's pretty hard to be depressed when he's around a group of people as amazing as you and the task force
