Literally nobody asked for it but here's a sneak peak into Red vs Blue: Redux, my rewrite of RvB. I'm hoping to upload the first chapter by the end of this month.
Church sighed and returned to watching the reds stand in a square and jabber on about who knows what. Just like he had done every single recon patrol for the last three weeks. It was like they were physically incapable of doing anything interesting. If he were closer he could at least listen in, but from here all he had was their halfhearted gestures. At least the pink one was pretty expressive with his hand movements.
“What are they doing now?”
“I’m going to give you ten seconds to answer that question for yourself. And if you can’t figure out the answer, I am going to shove the scope of this rifle so far up your ass I’ll be able to figure out where your fucking brain went.”
Tucker stood up, throwing his hands in the air, “Well if you’re just going to be an asshole about it, then I’m going back to base. I was just trying to make some conversation.”
“Fine! This’ll be so much easier without you in my ear anyway.” Church said, slumping his shoulders as he pressed his eye against the scope.
With a sigh of relief, he could finally watch the reds in peace. He watched as the maroon and orange one led the pink one back into the base. As they disappeared inside, the red one, the sergeant, went back to looking at their new vehicle. Church watched in confusion as the red team leader stood in front of the car and gestured occasionally.
Is...Is he talking to the car? Church thought as he tilted his head in confusion.
As the sargent walked toward the vehicle, giving it a loving, sensual pet on the hood, Church dropped the view finder from his eye. Whatever was going to happen next was nothing he wanted to see. With a sigh, he turned to watch as Tucker returned to the base before standing up to follow him.
Church made his way down the slope, watching his feet as he walked. He might as well get ready for the supply drop. They should be arriving any minute now. Not to mention the fact they were going to be getting new recruits and he didn’t trust Tucker to give them a proper introduction. Heaven forbid one of them is a girl; Church just knew his teammate wouldn’t be able to keep it in his pants. Besides, if he wanted to be the leader, he needed to act like one.
He cursed Captain Flowers for up and dying on them, forcing him to take over and be in charge. Church didn’t have the slightest clue what he was doing, and now he was responsible for making sure himself and the others stayed alive. At the very least Command could give him a promotion to make all the headache worth it. But no, all they decided to do was give them two new people to even the teams.
A sonic boom took him out of his thoughts and turned his eyes to the sky. Church watched as the ship landed beside the base, steadying himself against the gust of air that threatened to bowl him over.
Before him and Tucker could even exchange a glance, the bay door was open and a small crew was pouring out to unload supplies. Pushing past the men carrying crates, Church started hunting for the new recruits.
When he entered the belly of the ship, he saw two people in armor sitting beside each other and giggling. He raised an eyebrow in confusion as he realized one of them was in yellow armor. That must be some sort of mistake.
“Are you two Private Grif and Caboose?” Church asked hesitantly.
“That's us!” The yellow-clad recruit chirped, “Are you the Captain?”
Church pressed his lips together as he shifted from one foot to the other, “I'm the one in charge.”
Seemingly not noticing his non-answer, the one in blue stood up and held out his hand, “Nice to meet you! I'm Private Michael Caboose!”
It took everything in Church to not gasp in surprise. Caboose was massive! He was nearly seven feet tall and was by no means skinny. The new recruit could probably break Church in half if he really wanted to. He swallowed before giving his hand a quick shake, gritting his teeth in pain as Caboose nearly broke every bone in his hand with his grip.
As Church began to massage his hand, he turned to the other recruit, “That means you must be Private Grif.”
“Sure am! I'm excited to be here!” She said with a chipper tone.
“Me too!” Caboose chimed in.
Church looked between the two recruits with trepidation. At the very least these two had a much better attitude than Tucker, but they did not seem at all prepared for the reality of war. How could anyone be excited to get shot at?
“Well… How about we go meet the rest of the team?” Church suggested, unsure how to proceed.
The two nodded eagerly before following him out of the ship. Tucker was waiting at the end of the ramp, watching the three of them. Church really hoped this went well. He felt like he was introducing two overly excited puppies to his cat with an attitude problem.
Hey y'all I'm sick af today, but I wanted to put this out before the end of rarepair week. I was inspired by @leonardalphachurch 's Temple/Tucker ship to write this. This is just a rough draft, but I was honestly so inspired by this that I think I may flesh this out into a short multi-chapter fic.
Synopsis: Temple thought he could trust Tucker with his deepest secret, but it turns out he was wrong.
CW: Brief mentions or death and decomposition, canon-typical violence
@rvbrarepairweekdos Thank you so much for hosting rarepair week! I had such a blast.
Tucker followed Temple down to the basement, his hand squeezing the other’s tightly. He was secretly hoping that the other man was going to be showing him a good time. Temple has been acting so giddy and nervous about whatever this surprise was going to be, and Tucker was more than happy to join him and find out what he looked like under all that armor.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Temple stopped in front of a large door. To Tucker’s surprise, he took off his helmet. He had seen the other man’s face several times at this point, but each time still made his heart flutter. His long, chaotic black hair and his bright, wild eyes were enough to make Tucker’s breath quicken. Temple had this unique, striking beauty to him that Tucker couldn’t help but be attracted to.
“Tucker, before I open this door, I want you to know I really trust you. Ever since you got here, I’ve just felt gravitated to you.” Temple began.
“Yeah, I think I’ve really started to care about you, too.” Tucker replied, trying not to let his impatience show. He wanted to get Temple out of his armor right now.
“I just need you to promise me one thing.” Temple said, his expression turning serious.
“Anything.” Tucker breathed, reaching out to cup Temple’s face in his free hand.
“Before you react to anything, I need you to hear me out.” Temple said before putting his helmet under his arm and turning to the door.
“Of course!” Tucker said, blinking in surprise. Temple had always seemed a bit neurotic, but he seemed really intense for sneaking off to have sex.
Without another word, Temple opened up the door. As soon as it opened, Tucker was hit in the face with an awful smell. It was putrid, like when they burst open those sewage pipes on Chorus. Tucker had to hold back his urge to gag before following Temple into the room. He could cope with the smell, he decided, if it meant he got to see what sort of sounds he could get Temple to make while on top of him. All he had to do was ignore it.
When Temple stepped aside, however, any thoughts of sex completely left his mind. Tucker’s heart dropped into his stomach at what he saw. It was Carolina and Wash! But they weren’t moving. Why weren’t they moving?
“Tucker!” Wash’s tired voice strained, “Run!”
He couldn’t run, his limbs turning to ice as he stood there in disbelief. Had this been where’d the two of them had gone for the past five days?! Tucker couldn’t believe they’d been down here this whole time! Why would Temple lie about where they had gone?
Why weren’t they moving?
“Guys?! What’s happening?” Tucker gasped in disbelief before turning to Temple, “What’s going on?!”
“Go! Run!” Carolina demanded through gritted teeth. She sounded like she was in so much pain.
“I was hoping you two would be dead by now.” Temple grumbled before turning to Tucker, “Don’t worry about them, Tucker. This is for the best! If you’d just let me-”
“For the best? What are you talking about?! We need to help them!” Tucker interrupted, turning to Carolina and trying to pull her free. All he got in response was a weak cry of pain. Their armor was locked up, and he couldn’t make them move.
Before he could keep trying to free them, Tucker felt a pair of hands grip his shoulders and pull him back. With a cry of fear, he was turned around to face Temple. His eyes were wide with desperation and his fingers were trembling.
“I had to do this, Tucker. To all of them! After what the Freelancers did to me, to you, to innocent people. They deserve this.” Temple said, his voice shaking with intensity.
“What are you talking about?!” Tucker cried, “Yeah they were shitty people once, but Wash and Carolina are my friends! They’ve spent years making up for what they did. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”
Temple stared at Tucker for a while, his grip tightening on the other man’s shoulders. Tucker started to back away, but Temple pulled him back, his lips pressing together and his brow furrowing in anger.
“You can’t be serious. Nothing will ever make up for what they did! Nothing short of dying a slow, painful death.” Temple growled, “And if you can’t see that, then you can stay down here with them.”
Tucker turned to run, his eyes on the stairs. If he could get to the others, they could help! He needed to tell everyone what Temple had done. He just had to make it up those stairs. However, before he could even take the first few steps, Tucker was frozen to the spot.
“I really thought what we had was special, Tucker.” Temple said, looking at Tucker with tears forming in his eyes, “But you’re just like them.”
“Temple! Wait!” Tucker screamed, “We can talk about this! Wait!”
But Temple was already walking through the door. He turned back one last time, and Tucker could see tears streaming down his face. With a shake of his head, Temple put his helmet back on and closed the door, leaving Tucker, Carolina and Wash trapped together.
