Warning: feminine described reader, swearing, suggestive themes??, this is not proofread.
You honestly could have planned this better.
Never in your years of working have you been asked to cater for a party of this magnitude.
It’s the middle of summer. A celebratory feast. And it is hot as hell in this hot ass fucking ass room you’re in.
But here you are, baking sweets to feed an army. Literally.
Your uniform is unbuttoned, the sleeves wrapped around your waist so it does drag, exposing your arms and shoulders from your tank top.
Your crew made the joke to whistle at your ‘strip tease’ before you snapped and had half of them on prep duty. Earning a groan out of the group.
After the room got hot enough, you sent the rest out to start the grilling.
Bbq chicken, potato salad, stuffed jalapeños, buttered asparagus and mac n cheese was what was on the menu today.
You gave into the requests of Gaz, for half the menu. But surprisingly Soap really wanted chicken for the annual summer grill out.
Since giving you the goodie bag of delicious treats, one of them being home made cookies you swear were made by the fkn chefs of Gods high above, you have made a respectable friendship with the four gentlemen of 141.
And in return of your generosity of friendship, you decided to add a desert.
The best (shittiest) part? The shit in the oven was the fucking garnish.
You groan, rubbing your face with the heat, now worrying that the cute little churro like treats weren’t going to bake well, but using a fryer in the heat was even more so suicide.
One of your teammembers walked into the kitchen.
“Hey boss! One of the sergeant’s is asking for you!!”
You stood back up from where you put yourself in the corner. “Check on these every 10 mins please. I’ll be quick. Don’t stay in here you’ll die-“
The boy was perplexed at your declaration before shrugging and standing outside the open door.
You didn’t bother putting yourself together except putting up your hair.(if there’s short hair on ya then you slicked it back you stud)
Spotting Gaz waving your way, you began to jog over.
“Sergeant, what do I owe this interruption of your finest chef on this base?”
Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, fkn cutie-
“Needed to know where you needed these tables, Crook.”
You begin pointing to the direction of shaded areas. And as you watch other men n women putting up stuff you groan. “Shit. It’s still early. The sun not hitting there.”
“We’ll put up some covers to block the sun from your people.”
You smile greatfully and pat his shoulder.
“Gaz you’re the best, now if you’ll excuse-“
You turn in shock as you and Gaz race back to the kitchen, him hissing for you as you slid down and past the kitchen entrance before hurrying your way in.
You opened the oven, no hesitation, noticing that the treats weren’t burning but something under the trays were charred.
You see Gaz pull out a pair of tongs, pulling out a burnt oven mitt.
“JUST WHO THE FUCK LEFT THEIR MITTS IN MY OVEN?!”
The sergeant can’t ever remember a time when he even thought you were a tiny bit mad. You were furious.
“EVERYONE! HALL RIGHT NOW!”
With such speed you shut off half of the ovens, seeing as now they actually are just crispy enough they should finish with the remaining heat.
There’s a total of ten men/women lined up in front of you.
“I want to know who put their mitts in the oven.” Your arms stay crossed as the group looks amongst eachother.
“We can all be on scraping duty for all I care. I don’t want no Spartacus in this bitch either. Just tell me honestly.”
One of the older gentlemen raises their hands.
“I’m sorry, Crook. Jason asked me to cover to use the bathroom and I was just checking them honest. I don’t know where my head is.”
You can feel Gaz’s eyes on you as you uncrossed your arms, leaving them on your sides.
Paul nods. “Colic. She’s not sleeping. I’m sorry, boss, I swear it wasn’t my intention.”
With a heavy sigh, you motion him away. “Use the cafeteria rec room to take a breather, take a nap since you’re gonna need it. Your on dishes tonight.”
You see Paul instantly relax. “Th-Thanks…boss.”
After roaring at everyone else to get back to work, you managed to get everything else finished in a timely matter.
Gaz managed to calm your nerves, a hand on your back as he assured you everything would be fine.
“It was an accident, and nothing terrible came out of it. I’ll have one of the rookies on cleaning duty check it out.”
You smile, leaning your hand on his arm. “Thanks Serge.”
Enough food to feed over 300 men was set and ready to go. And attending was a solid 130.
141 had a training exercise of cops n robbers with water guns to your surprise.
Team Alpha had red dye in their water tubs, while Team Beta had blue.
You’d be a fucking liar if you didn’t think it was quite the sight, your sergeants, Lieutenant and Captain drenched in colored water, white shirts sticking to their skins.
Paul ended up coming out sooner to help out, seemed in dire need to earn a respect that was never really lost back.
Before you knew it, everything was ready and whistled over, getting Ghosts attention. He raised a fist in the air, repeated the whistle and a mix of cheers and groans sounded from the field a few yards away.
Everyone lined up, getting plastic plates, getting their fill, and eventually- to your absolute pleasure, you got to announce seconds.
Soap and Gaz nearly ran each-other over to get to the chicken.
“If you whores knock over my tables-“
“Easy now, crook.” You heard your Lieutenant chuckle. “Don’t need you biting off more heads today.”
You roll your eyes. “I’m doing no such thing-“
“Really? Gaz tells us otherwise. Said you were *very* mean to your own teammates.”
The gasp you let out, turning to Gaz who immediately put up a free hand in defense. “I said no such thing, Dove. None.”
“You told them I was mean?!”
“I don’t recall ever saying such thing-“
“You said- ‘Crook is rather scary when we get on her bad side. She’ll rip off your head for sure, Cap-“
“Oh that’s very true he did-“
“Paul!” You cry over your shoulder.
“Was I too mean to you?!”
Paul laughs a full belly laugh, shaking his head. “Oh no, I 100% deserved worse than that. Sent me to take a nap- felt like I was 10 again!”
That honestly sent Gaz and Soap into a fit of giggles.
“I cannot believe you throw me under the bus like that- AND I MADE YOU GUYS DESERT TOO!”
As you yell, Jason and two other helpers bring out the cups of ice cream with the delicious baked treats you almost died over.
It revived a solid 5 stars. In fact the whole thing was a 10/10!
You turn, seeing your lieutenant tossing his now empty cup into a trash bin. He motions you over with a wave of his hand.
“You know why we do this great big dinner annually right?”
You shook your head honestly. “I can’t say I do.”
“We do this,” and he leads you to a table, grabbing you by the waist and hoists you up with a suprised squeal from you.
“Because we celebrate the people here who have shown us their best. And thought we already gave a private hoorah to the others,”
He turns taking a bouquet of carnations from one of the women on base you recognized as one of the mechanics.
“We haven’t given you yours.”
He hands you the bouquet and you aw with a very large pout on your lips. “This is so kind of you guys!”
“Yep. Won’t be for long.”
And just as quick as he gave you your flowers, he took them away and you felt a splash of the COLDEST WATER STRAIGHT FROM THE FUCKING ARTIC.
Pieces of ice was stuck where your pants were tucked in, as you gasped for air, as if it would warm you quick. You look down and see your shirt was stained purple in some bits where the read and blue water was dumped on you.
“Oh I’m going to wring your by your necks-“
You turn in time to see Gaz and Soap running to get some distance from your shaking figure, bright smiles as everyone around you laughs.
Even Price is having a chuckle.
“Oh this is funny? Of course it’s fucking funny to you-“
You reach over trying to embrace Ghost to stain his clothing but he slips away.
As the sun went down, you managed to get your crew and the space cleaned up. Soap and Gaz helped since they felt bad for their stunt from earlier.
You let Paul off earlier than you just to get him home to his wife n baby. As you turned off the lights to the mess hall, and headed down the main hallway, you noticed Price’s office light was still on in his wing.
With a hum of curiosity you rapped on the door, hearing a ruff ‘come in.’
You peered in, seeing the man just putting on his jacket, seemingly to leave.
“Oh Captain. Was just checking in on you I saw your light on.”
“Yea, Crook, was just getting some work finished before the weekend.”
You nod with a smile. “Care for company on the way to the lot?”
He gives a huff of a laugh. “Sure. Why the hell not.”
The walk there is pleasant. There’s small talk, plans for a football game with Laswell and her wife, and you’re visiting your grandma this weekend for her birthday.
By the time you reach your car, and him his truck, you hear a loud boisterous laughter coming from your left.
Looking over, seeing Soap talking to Ghost and Gaz, he waves to the both of you.
“I’ll leave some of my mom’s coffee creamer in the rec room fridge if you guys ever want a charge up for the late night.”
Your captains gruff laugh hits your ears again. “Always taking care of us, Crook. Thanks again.”
A/N: heh- sorry for shoving this towards you guys I enjoy writing this paring more than I thought I do.
