The two times Simon almost killed Price and the one time Price almost killed Simon
First off yall blew up this post and Iâm actually speechless đ„ș Iâve also hit 1,000 followers (SKDJJWDJJEJW) and will be working on the surprise fic shortly. I was working on some birthday posts and wasnât expecting it to happen so quickly so might be a bit before it comes out.
1. When Simon was injured
Price called you to let you know that Simon was injured during an op and he would be fine but you should come get him from the base. Simon never lets you go to base and you knew if he was conscious, he would have an absolute fit and get a cab home. Heâs a very private person and after what happened to his family, heâs not about to let you get anywhere close to work if he can help it.
You obviously know this but itâs Price who called you, not Simon. Price ends the call with âsee ya soon, Mrs. Rileyâ which simultaneously breaks your heart because youâre not his wife but also warms it. It also doesnât give you a choice; youâll be there whether you drive yourself or Price brings you.
The captain doesnât tell anyone that youâre coming or who you are when you get there. He meets you at the entrance and escorts you in. Like a father might, he keeps you close to him as the two of you make your way across the base and to the clinic where Simon is resting. He wouldnât let them send him off base to a hospital so they did what they could and heâs, of course, being difficult still.
The moment the others see you, their eyes widen because who is this? Why are you with Price? Why have they never seen you before? Are you his daughter? His niece? His controversially younger girlfriend? Who are you and why are you here of all places? You definitely scare the shit out of them letâs be real. You pull up looking like this and youâre with their captain.
You have an aura of unwavering confidence and a resting bitch face that rivals Ghostâs. They donât get the chance to pester you because Price is quickly shoving you into the room where Ghost is at and giving them all the death stare.
Simon does a double take when he sees you with wide eyes but doesnât make any other indication that he knows you. The poor nurse whoâs filling out his release paperwork is petrified and he looks like heâs about to pass out. You narrow your eyes at Simon because clearly heâs been his usual asshole self and thatâs why this nurse is about to pass out.
You give the nurse a small smile as you tell him your name and that youâre whoâs going to be taking care of Simon. The manâs knees almost give out from relief and he word vomits all of the information youâll need while handing you the paperwork in a shaking hand. You thank him and wait for him to leave before you finally look at Simon.
Heâs got his mask on like you expected but you can still read his eyes. Heâs pissed.
All you say is âYou were shot.â
âIâm your emergency contact.â
âYou donât get to be mad that Iâm here. If anyone gets to be upset and act like a child, itâs me. Iâm the one who had to find out from your captain that you got hurt so badly that youâre being put on temporary medical leave for 6 weeks.â
He doesnât nod this time. He just stares. Eventually he sighs and looks at the ground.
You sigh as well and give him the hug heâs craving but wonât ask for. You press a kiss to the top of his masked head and rub his back.
âItâs alright, my love.â You murmur into his sweaty mask. âLetâs go home, yeah? The dogs have been driving me mental.â
Although itâs covered, you feel him smile. You feel it in the way his body relaxes under your touch and his arms tighten around your waist.
âLetâs go home.â He agrees.
The others are absolutely gobsmacked when they see you walk out with Ghost. Heâs the same as he always is; guarded and on defense but thereâs a softness in his eyes when he glances at you talking to Price. They have half a mind to ask about you but one sharp glance from Ghost keeps their mouth shut. Whoever you are, youâre the single most important person in the world to him and theyâd be complete fools to even breath in your direction.
Letâs just say that Simon was in a compromising position when Price called him to meet at the base in an hour.
Usually youâre the one in the restraints that are always on your bed butttttt you managed to convince him to switch places. Tonight heâs bound by the leather cuffs on his wrists and ankles. His eyes are squeezed shut and his head is buried into the pillow behind him. Youâve been teasing and edging this poor man for close to an hour. Kitten licks and light squeezes are all youâve given him as you worship his strong body. Each scar on his body has been caressed, licked, and kissed by you. Every inch of him has been loved and adored by youâŠ
Youâve been purposely ignoring it until you finally take him into your mouth. His release is fast approaching as you bob your head up and down. Heâs moaning and whimpering. Then his work phone rings. The stupid phone he only uses when heâs working goes off and heâs never been so angry in his entire life. You pull off of him and he lets out the loudest groan known to man. You giggle at him as you fish it from the night stand and press it to his ear as you place yourself in his lap.
âPrice the fucking king could be dead and that still wouldnât be a good enough reason to call me right now.â
3. And the one time that Price almost killed Simon.
Ever since Price called you to base, heâs been keeping in touch with you. Heâll text you and call you every now and then to make sure youâre okay. Obviously you are; Simon is yourâŠpartner and you can handle yourself but he still likes to check in on you. He feels responsible for Simon as heâs his captain but also for you since youâre his whole world.
Moving on⊠the first deployment that Simon went on was rough. You were anxious as you usually were but this time was worse. He was hurt. He had been shot and even though heâd healed just fine, you couldnât help but worry about him. On the other hand, Simonâs nightmares had made a comeback and heâd been waking up in cold sweats. One time you swore you saw Ghost rather than your adoring man. Youâd told Price about it and made he swear to not say a damn word to Simon. He agreed but kept a watchful eye on his Lieutenant.
On the second night of their deployment, Price had gotten a rather short and strange text from you that read âkeep him safe please.â It felt like a given that he did but something about this felt wrong. He called you and it took until the last ring for you to pick up. You were sobbing, hyperventilating, and wheezing into the phone when you answered. He couldnât get a single coherent word out of you for the first 10 minutes but when he did, he saw red.
Apparently Simon had lost his mind and decided that it would be better if you werenât together. Youâd told Price that he told you some bullshit lie about how he wasnât feeling it anymore and you should go find someone better. The captain was more pissed off that his Lieutenant had lied and immediately found him the moment youâd stopped crying.
âRiley!â Price shouts across from the landing strip. That sends alarm bells off in Simonâs head. It was Ghost or Lieutenant, never his name.
Price stalks over to him and grabs him by the front of his vest, not caring that everyone can see whatâs going on. âYou call and apologize to her right now, ya hear me? Itâs unacceptable for you to lie to her like that and I should have your balls for it. You fix it before she does go off and find herself a better man.â
Simon canât argue with him. He knows that what he did was wrong and Price is well within his right to act on his threat. Hell Simon was about to do it himself if it meant he could rewind time and take back what he said.
However he is still Lieutenant Ghost in this moment. He narrows his dark eyes at Price and slowly takes his hand off of his vest. Nothing but lethal silence fills the space between the two men. Bystanders are growing increasingly desperate for action, practically yipping like starving hyenas for a scrap.
âYou have 30 seconds to get out of my sight.â
Price steps away and Simon disappears into the darkness. The hyenas howl in hunger around them, chattering about the unfairness of it all.
Simon calls you the moment heâs locked away in his room. He spends the next hour apologizing profusely to you and damn near begging you to wait for him. Itâll be a few weeks until heâs back but pleaseâŠjust wait for him.
