COD Men x Medic!Reader hunting them down
♡︎ Price has accidentally broken his promise of going to get checked up by you. It's not like he's doing it on purpose, he swears! He'll just get caught up in making sure his men are okay, debriefing and all these other duties that he'll forget to drop by. Him ignoring your phone calls was the last straw, even if it was unintentional. You didn't have to inquire as to his whereabouts; his men saw you coming and not wanting to be caught in the mess pointed you to their captain. And he doesn't have it in him to even get mildly annoyed when you drag him to your private quarters to ensure no one will interrupt you. No one comes to get him either lol.
♡︎ For Simon you'll stay up extra late at night to wait for him to drop by. You know he's often a busy man and prefers to be attended by you when you've got no other patients in your clinic. But the clock hand moves further and he still hasn't shown up. You know not to be impatient but you snap when Soap drops by and is surprised to see Simon hasn't come by. "Oh, you didn't know?" and then he proceeds to reveal to you the most horrific discovery, your beloved Ghost had a grave injury. Soap steps back as you brusquely give him your thanks and set off to hunt down your man. If his injury was this bad, what could have been so important to keep him from coming to you immediately? Truly, he couldn't have been so petty as to want to wait last minute to get it treated... either way, Simon senses your wrath and decides to stand in place to accept his fate.
♡︎ Johnny knew you'd freak out if you found out he had first gone for a celebratory dinner and drink before coming to get patched up. Which is why he tried to slip into your station pretending he had taken a nap. If he acted like he had overslept due to exhaustion then it'd make sense why he was coming so late... right? "Poor Johnny" was all that Ghost and Gaz could say as they walked away after filling you in on their friend's failed plan. You didn't lose your cool, at least not visibly. If Johnny came in knowing how infuriated you were then he'd book it fast. Which is why you kept your cool and instead set up and prepared for a very long and thorough medical examination. Nowhere for Soap to run if you were the one holding the needle.
♡︎ Kyle really tries his absolute hardest to get treated by you as soon as possible. But things just keep getting in his way! The hard thing about being such a dependable and likeable guy is that everyone seeks him out. He's been dodging people left and right as if it were an RPG level he was trying to pass. Still, you can't help but feel mildly annoyed that he hasn't dropped by earlier; causing you much worry. You go looking for him and he can only do his best to hide the growing smile on his face as you seize him by the collar. Stares at you dreamily as you treat him, and you try hiding the small smile that wants to show. It's really impossible to be mad at this man when he's your best patient; barely grunts or makes any exaggerated sounds of being in pain. You end up making him stay the night on the pretense of making sure his bandages don't fall off. He's more than happy to oblige.
♡︎ Roach knows you care for him a great deal. Countless times you've rushed to his side when no one else has, which is why he was hoping to go to you right away. Until that talkative Soap HAD to get in his way. The grip around Roach's shoulder is so strong he can't slip away, and he mentally groans at the mental image of you waiting for him. It's not long that you're stomping through the halls and spot your beloved Roach prisoner in Soap's hold. No one gets in the way of you giving that Scottish soldier a piece of your mind, which is terrifying to observe, and rescuing your patient. You nearly carry Roach away in your arms and lovely tend to his health in the privacy of your station. Since learning that he missed his lunch with the idea of coming to see you in mind, you even go ahead and feed him. Yes, he's a grown man and soldier but who is he to refuse such gentle care?
♡︎ Alejandro will never admit, for as long as he lives, that he actively avoids getting treated by you. It's like ever since your relationship grew deeper you've grown more comfortable with calling him out on his bad health habits. He'll beg Rodolfo to pretend like he doesn't know anything about his whereabouts when he conveniently disappears during your hunts for him. Of course, a betrayal from a friend is always in order when this happens. Rodolfo tells you anyway and you have a field day looking for Alejandro. You don't even know why he tries hiding anymore when you know all his hiding spots. Oh, and no excuses about being too busy! Your word as a longtime medic carries a lot more weight than Alejandro would like.
♡︎ Rudy will come as soon as you call for him. He's seen firsthand how you hunt down unwilling soldiers and would never deliberately do anything to get on your bad side. Scary enough is when you're holding a needle or administering medication. But he can rest easy knowing that despite your tough exterior built over the years, you can still find within your heart to make room for him. His eyes show nothing but complete trust even when you're sternly giving him directions on how to change out his gauzes. Times when you've been so stressed due to the amount of stubborn soldiers you've treated you have accidentally taken it out on him. Your heart clenches when you notice how understanding he's being.
♡︎ Phillip couldn't hide from you even if he tried. He knows his Shadows will switch sides over to you the moment they find out their commander isn't going to his checkups. In fact, he can't pretend to forget his appointment with you because someone is always reminding him every week, every day and every hour. Also, he can pick his battles. He wouldn't even dream of going against a medic like you who is more than capable of taking down a big soldier if need be to administer first aid. He'd rather be on your good side since you're the one with at advantage with all the sedatives. Whenever he's lingering a little too long you'll walk out of your room to find him and drag him along. He, of course, doesn't protest nor mind that some Shadows stop and watch.
♡︎ With Makarov you can't properly arrange a time for him to come see you for his checkups, especially when it comes to unexpected wounds or injuries. You've probably spent more time wandering the place looking for him than you have treating other patients. With all your years of experience, soldiers BEG to be treated by you, but here is Makarov discarding it. You know that if you bring this issue up with him he'll simply tell you to stay by his side as he moves along. It irritates you that he doesn't care about potentially getting in your way. So, you do what's best and you go looking for him the INSTANT you hear about him getting hurt. He's wearing a smug smile when you finally corner him, because he knew you'd be coming the moment he let word slip that he had an injury that needed to be treated.
♡︎ Keegan swears the injury he got from training wasn't THAT bad, he even "forgets" to take the medicine you've prescribed him. Word somehow gets to you that one of your patients isn't listening to their medic and suddenly you're on a manhunt. Keegan hides but not because he's scared of you or anything. He just wants to mess with you for a little while longer. When you eventually get him into bed (woah not like that) to rest. He's doing everything he can to hold back from chuckling as he sees you so focused on wrapping him up. You don't even know it's the way you furrow your brows or pout that has him watching you so intently. When you ask him how he feels he says in a tone so smug you stop what you're doing to raise a brow, "Oh, I'm doing just fine.".
♡︎ It's impossible to haul König all the way to your clinic. Once you tackle him (he felt as if you just bumped into him) you have to figure out how to drag his big self to get patched up. He's prying your hands off of him promising he's fine and not even in pain. "Just wait until that adrenaline wears off!" you yell and stomp off. He's surprised you gave up so soon but goes about his day until he starts getting drowsier and eventually drifts off to sleep. You come back to find him right where you knew he'd collapse. Pulling gloves and a mask on you realize others might mistake you for trying to get rid of a body. You don't know how to explain you're really just treating a stubborn patient.
♡︎ Horangi should really have some compassion for your poor nerves. But you'd rather die than admit it to that smug bastard. He gets injuries all the time that he doesn't go get patched up. And you always find out when he gets up from bed and the blanket slips off his bare torso and these jagged lines and bruises are on full display. You launch into a lecture about how he should tell you about this and get treated blah blah. Horangi is just waiting for you to finish for him to tell you about his most recent muscle pain, completely discarding what you told him. Honestly, what can you do besides sigh and sweetly plea for him to be more careful. And in typical Horangi fashion he says no <3.
♡︎ Since Nikto got taken care by you for the first time, he's been going a bit more often whenever he experiences pain that he can't solve. But whenever he comes in for a serious injury, you can't let him rest alone. You're "running" into him in the hallways to ask how he feels today, any pain, etc. How strange for a busy medic to suddenly have enough time to leave their other patients and focus on him alone. You've warned him to never miss his follow-ups with you, even though he thinks his injury is fine. And God forbid he misses one because he's seen firsthand how you can drag someone nearly twice your size for not following instructions.
