SFW -Romantic
It started when you were separated with Wash, Sarge, Donut and Lopez at the federal army base in the mountains. You had been injured badly during the initial battle and dr grey had been overseeing your recovery. When the alarms go off one day, your in the med bay and Wash or Sarge orders you to stay put. The other reds and blues reunite and then all hell brakes loose as the mercenaries start killing people in mass. You stuck close to Dr. Grey and somehow survived. Your hit it terror and relief when you see everyone together, held at gunpoint by Félix and locus and several soldiers in black armor. You almost run over there and then, desperate to do something. Grey stops you, silently signaling to wait, so you do. When Carolina reveals herself, and it's time to run, you aren’t fast enough. Your stumble back wards, barely miss getting shot. Locus orders to keep you alive. Better use as a bargaining Chip.
You are a hostage for days and Felix absolutely plays mind games with the reds and blues about it. In the end Charon still offers almost the same ultimatum. Except now it's, take the ship to leave and you will be returned alive, and if they try and stop the genocide you’ll be killed.
Maybe the reds abs blues decided to split up with some of them going to the ship to try and get you back alive. Maybe Tucker came up with the same plan and they go through with that. Either way they know that you would want them to stop the genocide at all cost, even your own life.
When the times comes, Felix and Locus leave a single unimportant guard. Someone they did not need in the capital or helping guard the radio tower. Maybe someone injured who just had to wait for a radio call to execute an unarmed and tied up prisoner. However it happens you are able to break yourself out of bondage, steal the armor off your dead guard, grab a future cube, and teleport yourself to reunite the reds and blues at the radio tower.
When you get taken he was really beating himself up about it. He should have accounted for you showing up with Grey. He should have told Carolina to wait. He should have done it differently to prevent you from ever getting taken.
The entire time your gone Delta keeps running the odds that you survive. Theta keeps posing these what if's: what if you talks the guard into letting you go, what if you snuck in a knife? what if you were never captured and the Mercs are just bluffing. You're going to be ok? right?
Epsilon hates it when Delta runs the likelihood that you're currently being tortured. It's hard to ignore Omega when this happens.
When you are finally reunited he almost can't believe it. Afterward a the Capitol, he want to be around you, ask you everything but knows better than to bombard you with questions. He may even choose to transfer to your Ai implant/ Armor for a while, just to "make sure you don't do anything else stupid"
It takes him a while to notice your missing, and when he does his first thoughts are about how he misses you are are sad that you're not here right now.
He knows you're in trouble and need help and he is wiling to do anything to help get you back.
He is also one of the first ones to speak up on the fact that you would want everyone to. try and help the people of Chorus and not yourself because you are not selfish.
When you return he covers you in a bear hug and refuses to put you down for several minutes. He will absolutely insist on having a sleep over and will stroke your head if you cry and are sad when you get back.
Is a HOT MESS when that the teleported lands and he notices that that you didn't make it and got left behind. He just spent all this time trying to get back to you and now your gone again. Its fucking Bullshit.
He is yelling at everyone. At Carolina for not waiting longer. At Church "Maybe if you had been around this would'nt have happened". At Wash or Sarge or whoever told you to wait behind in the med bay.
He feels guilty and personally responsible for you being captured. Every minute that he is going to help you, weighs on him.
When you reunite, you're over his body after he was stabbed by Felix. He doesn't how you got here and he doesn't care he is just so fucking happy to see you. He sees you're crying and worried about him and he is trying to make you feel better. He's literally laying there, grimacing in pain, cracking jokes.
Later when things settle down and he heals a bit, he will cry about almost having lost you and the "we both almost just died sex" will be wild.
Is in complete denial about the possibility you probably wont make it back. Refuses to entertain the conversation and shuts it down.
Has complete confidence in your ability to survive and make it back.
He focuses on what he thinks his Duty is and goes all in. He like Caboose would want to honor the fact that you would not want them to trade your life for an entire planets.
He is definitely proposing convoluted rescue plans that somehow integrate stopping the genocide and saving you.
When you do come back he is surprisingly emotional about it. Probably cries and you get a rare hug in front of everyone.
poor Simmons was so desperate to see you again. He was an anxious mess the entire time you were separated with the feds. The fact that you are now with the Mercs is awful.
He can't stop thinking about how your probably already as good as dead. He is thinking about the last time you interacted. He didn't say "I love you". Even if he's told you before, How can things ever be okay if you die and he never gets the change to tell you the last time he saw you.
As much as he cares about you, he practical and knows that it’s unlikely you’ll be coming back. He clings to hope anyway.
He is one first to say that we have to try snd rescue you even if it seems hopeless.
When you reunite, He is so anxious about how you're doing. He tries to make space for you to be able to talk about what happened if you want. He is very understanding if you don't and maybe tries a little too hard to be there for you perfectly. When you do finally talk he is sensitive, accepting, and patient.
One of the few times Grif just completely looses his cool. At first its Panic, Yelling where are you? He just saw you. This cant be happening.
Then he is going to figure out whose fault it is, and it is someones fault. He is going to then tell them all the ways its their fault. Wash or Sarge doctor Grey, Carolina.
He is going to try and rescue you. Fuck Chorus, fuck what you would have wanted. If you are his person there is nothing he wont do to get you back. He is super pissed at anyone who suggests doing anything other than trying to come help you.
When you finally reunite, he is glued to your side for weeks.
He doesn't ask what happened, and he listens.
He is crying when he realizes that you got left behind. He holds tight to optimism that you are going to be okay and its all going to be ok.
He just feels his way openly and freely through his grief, anger, despair until he just accepts that it hurts right now, he misses you and he is worried.
He cares about your values and what you would have wanted and he also values not having a genocide. Donut would probably be born between values here, and would likely suggest the team splits up where some try and rescue you and others stop the genocide.
When you reunite, he is very sensitive to how your feeling and lets you take the lead to get support however you need. Talking, cuddles, sex, whatever, he is there.
Carolina is absolutely vicious to herself when she realizes that you got left behind. She completely blames herself for throwing the teleportation cube too soon. She is so Angry with herself about it "GOD DAMNIT"
Her injury to her leg only makes her more pissed, but part of her is glad for the pain because it distracts her from what shes feeling: self loathing, grief, fear, loneliness, rage.
She slips into practical mission mode like a pro. She knows your probably dead and the chances of you making it out alive are basically none. She tells herself you would focus on the mission and she will too.
When your reunited, she can’t believe it. After losing York the way she did, and the rest of the freelancers, everything in her was ready for loss.
She is dragging you somewhere secluded ad soon as she can. It’s absolutely filthy or mad intimate : She just places her hands on your cheeks and rests her forehead against yours. She promises never to let anything happen to you ever again.
Shes not a big talk out her feelings person, but at least the first night she will absolutely show up for you here if you ask. You’ll have to be the one to lead in the feelings department. Her feelings about what happened or your.
She is kinda the type who wants to pretend everything is fine like the next day or the day after. shes shooting death looks at anyone who even mentions locus or felix, let alone what happened. She tired too hard to be a rock for you.
If Wash is the one who ordered you to stay in the med bay, this decision haunts him. He feels responsible for you being left behind because of the call me made. You trusted him. He feels like he let you down and everyone else.
The moment the Mercs show up at the stupid snow base his anxiety is spiking and he is radioing you to meet up with them. When he sees you got left behind, he is crushed and in so much grief.
Wash knows enough not to hope, that the odds are that your gone for good and that he will never see you again. He will think about your last interactions with him on loop and all the times he almost told you how much you meant to him. All the times he held back because something else was more important.
Regardless part of him clings to the idea that you aren't gone yet and he kind of hold onto like a Schrodinger's cat type situation, you aren't dead or gone until he sees it.
Wash is all about duty, while loyalty is huge for him and his identity as a solider are in conflict here. As much as he wants to come save you he knows his duty is to stop a genocide. He also know it's want you would want and that matters to him. He feels terrible guilt about every choice he could possibly make.
When you are reunited, you rolling him over and looking down at his face terrified that Locus almost killed him. He thinks that he is dead, and that this is the afterlife and you were waiting for him. Its all very melodramatic
The night back at the capitol, he comes to your room and hugs you for a long time and cries. He tries not too but it just kind of spills over. He kisses you like you're giving him air, and probably inanities most intimate hand holding loving desperate sex.
