trust is something simon never could fathom. yes, he trusted his team. but could he truly trust you? you were new and someone that price knew very well. if price could trust you, should he be able to?
when you first met, it was by accident. you were looking around the base, trying to get used to it. you seen him in the dark kitchen, his head in his hands, leaning over the countertop. he knew you were watching. he could hear your footsteps.
âitâs rude to stare,â he spoke, his deep british accent hit hard. he looked up at you, his piercing eyes sent a chill down your back.
âi didnât know if you were deadâ
âwhy the hell would i be dead?â he fully stood up this time, towering over you even if you were feet away from him.
you shrugged and walked away. his eyes continued to watch your movements.
the next time you spoke was during a training session. he fought against soap, while you fought against gaz. he watched the way you fought, it was obvious you knew what you were doing. he was so focused on you, he never noticed soap come behind him and kick his legs out, making him land on his ass. that earned a loud laugh from you and gaz.
after training, he walked up to you and tried to make small talk,
âhow did you learn that one move you did?â
âitâs something price taught me a while backâ
âhow long have you known price?â
âlong enough, probably 13 yearsâ
âis hand to hand combat you skill?â
the questions continued, almost like he was fixated on you since he last talked to you, wanting to talk to you as long as possible.
your first mission proved that he could trust you. you had his back.
you followed him blindly into that building. he knew what he was doing. he lead you through the darkness while you kept both of you safe. that was your job.
watch his back.
why did you turn around?
why did you face him for three seconds?
how did the enemy move so quickly?
the first time you turned to look at each other, the enemy snuck behind you, and immediately fired a round into your back.
when you hit the ground, ghost had understood what had happened.
you were shot.
you were dead.
he dropped the enemy quickly and got to his knees, pulling your head to his lap. his gloved hand checked your pulse on your neck. it was gone.
your eyes had shut and the blood rushed out quickly. it was a hard sight to see.
he had only known you for two weeks, but he trusted you with his life.
