I look at all comments, messages, inbox, I don't usually answer because it gives me to much anxiety. If you asked to be tagged I will just simply tag you in the next part, and I will answer questions about my work.

Getting you to trust Price was surprisingly easy. Because the guys were staying for longer than expected and their mission was technically over, they needed a place to stay. Thankfully Alejandro was able to arrange a place for all of them almost directly next to his team. But the place was mostly empty, only really had the major furnishings like beds, couches, and a table. Other than appliances the kitchen was entirely empty, so Price headed out with Alejandro to the store, and so that you could feel more comfortable knowing there was food for you, he also took you.

But before you left the house, Price went out to get you things to help while being out and about. He got you cute bunny ear muffs, both to help hide your ears, and because he knew you had sensitive hearing and being in a store surrounded by people would likely be too much. He got you something small to fidget with and a small stuffed animal, just so you had something to hold. There wasn't much he could do to hide your tail, so he bought a long dress and a long jacket to go over your regular clothes. Price let you choose what you wanted to wear. He just wanted you to be comfortable while still hiding you from the public like Laswell had recommended.

You just stared out the window while driving to the store. You recognized everything, but yet it still looked different to what you remember, maybe that's what happens when you're locked in someone's basement for years. You guys were there before you could dwell on it too much. Price patiently waited for you to get out of the car, you immediately were hiding behind his legs, no one was watching you but you hadn't seen this many people in years, and you're all too aware of how you look compared to normal people. Price walked in the front, letting you hide behind him, and Alejandro walked behind you, not too close to make you feel trapped but close enough to make sure nothing happened to you.

Price didn't rush through the store, but he also didn't linger in one place for too long. At first you just watched Price, saw everything he was looking at and what he picked up. Mostly you just stared blankly, but when he grabbed something sweet you could help staring. Alejandro saw you clutch your stuffed animal harder, mouth slightly open, and he saw the disappointment on your face when Price put it back down. Price moved forward but Alejandro stopped him, he picked up what Price was just looking at “¿Quieres esto?” (Do you want this?) you nodded slowly, and Alejandro passed it to Price to put it in the basket. “Make sure you tell me what you want something, just pull on my shirt” Price waited for you to nod before continuing.

By the time you guys left the store Price somehow had multiple sweet deserts, juices, candy, and even some more crayons in the basket. You happily followed Price to the checkout, hiding behind his leg so the cashier couldn’t see you. Even with you attempting to hide, they still saw you, even offered you a sticker. When you guys got in the car, Price snapped a picture of you, candy in one hand, juice in the other, sticker on your face, you weren’t exactly smiling but you were clearly happy, Price sent the picture to Ghost with a  thumbs up.

You spent the rest of the day baking. Honestly you weren't sure what they liked so you just decided to make a variety of cupcakes. You wanted to deliver it on the same day, but by the time you finished making all of the cupcakes, Price was already home from work. He noticed the cupcakes but didn't ask about it. It wasn't the first time you've made a big batch of desserts to bring to people. So instead you went the next day, you spent the morning getting ready, showering, doing your hair, even wearing a simple yet nice outfit.

When you showed up they weren't in the front area like last time. Honestly it was hard to see where you were going holding two huge containers of cupcakes, you didn't even notice Ghost in the corner. And you only saw him when he grabbed the containers from you “I got it luv” he spoke to you softly, and before you could even say thank you he was yelling for Gaz. Ghost turned back to you “who are these for luv?” you looked a little confused while replying “you guys, it seemed like you guys wanted some yesterday” Gaz came from behind Ghost, wrapping an arm around your side “oh that’s so sweet of you darling” and Gaz held your hand the entire time while leading you to a room, Ghost following behind you guys.

Laswell and Soap were in the room, but no Price. They both smirked when they saw you “missed me already bonnie?” Ghost placed the containers on the desk “they brought cupcakes for us” Soap gasped “oh thank you bonnie” “must’ve been thinking about us last night” Gaz added. Soap seemed to notice how close Gaz was to you and pulled him away from you and towards the cupcakes. Soap and Gaz opened up the containers with Ghost watching from behind, but Laswell's eyes were entirely on you. You pointed to the cupcakes with a little pout, you made them for her too, she came closer, almost whispering in your ear “what did you make for me doll?” you shyly told her how you made cupcakes and really wanted her to try them. 

Laswell squeezed past the guys, grabbing two cupcakes, she handed one to you and carefully watched you eat it. She stared the whole time, getting closer to whip extra icing off your mouth before shamelessly licking it off her fingers. You looked at her with wide eyes but before you could say anything Price walked in, he immediately shooed Laswell away from you even though he didn't see what she was just doing. Laswell just sat down, staring at you while she ate her cupcake. Price turned to you, asking why you were here and you simply explained you were delivering some cupcakes, Price couldn't even be mad at you. 

Price never planned for you to meet them, but he forgot his lunch at home and he knew going out to buy something would mean buying for the whole team too. So he asked if you could bring it to him since you didn't have class today, it took you a while to answer but you said sure. It was supposed to be simple, you would come in and Price would just grab it from you, Laswell wasn't supposed to be there yet so all the guys were still in the back. Well Laswell showed up early, right as you were getting there. 

You weren't dressed up nice, in fact you had completely forgotten to take off your apron before you left the house. Hair a mess, dirty apron on, random shoes thrown on, while holding Price's lunch. And before they even knew who you were they were on you like vultures, “what's a pretty thing like you doing here” and “got lost luv?” Gaz and Ghost said. You looked around a little confused before saying “uhm, I have Price’s lunch. Captain Price" Laswell was the first to realize you were the mysterious sister. She took the food from you, placing it on the desk before circling around you. 

Soap was looking you up and down “Price’s been hiding this from us, so selfish” Laswell pulled you closer by the apron before he could continue, she pointed to the stains on your apron “what were you making" you hesitantly said “cake and icing" Laswell smirked before whispering “need some help making it” and of course that's right when Price came in. He shoved Laswell away from you and into Soap, while giving all of them a dirty look, Price walked you to your car while apologizing on their behalf. And you, being oblivious, had no clue why Price was apologizing, no clue they were flirting, honestly just assuming they wanted some of your baked goods, so you headed back home with a smile on your face, planning on making even more so that you could bring them some tomorrow.

After that it didn't take much effort to convince the doctor that Gaz would be better in your care, even she could see how terrible it would be to separate him again. But, she gave you a long list of things that needed to be followed, Gaz’s mentally state wasn't something you could fix all on your own, and he still needed physical help. She wanted to give him another check up, now that he could talk to her, but Gaz was still crying, so she scheduled one with you. So you happily headed home with your three boys.

Even though Gaz trusted the guys, he didn't necessarily trust you. He would just freeze and get quiet when you were around. So that first night you offered for them to sleep in the stables or in the spare room, depending on if Gaz wanted to sleep shifted or not, and Gaz chose to stay inside. It was the first time in a long time you slept alone, it was peaceful, no huge bodies pressing into you but it also felt empty, you missed them. You woke up before any of them, by the time they did wake up you had breakfast all spread out. And much like you expected, Gaz was hesitant to eat around you, or move at all really, but the moment you were out of the room he was eating like he was starving, which he probably was. 

There was only a few days before Gaz's appointment and there wasn't much you could do to prepare him if he didn't even trust you. So you just planned to take the days slowly, let them just relax and be around each other. And hopefully in that time you could spot what injuries are hurting Gaz. The doctor told you he had tons of un-cared for injuries, and while some of them might have healed on their own, others injuries might have been more serious. But Gaz is unlikely to just say what is hurting him, if he hasn't outright become immune to the pain. He might be willing to tell the guys but you're not sure so you're going to keep an eye on him, see what hurts when he moves around. And if you're lucky you might notice some social cues that make Gaz tense up, or other signs that could help with his mental healing as well. 

Gaz spent most of the morning just staring at the guys while they did their normal thing. Soap, trying to help Gaz get comfortable, offered to go outside. Gaz agreed, although it was hard to tell if he really wanted to, he agreed to almost everything. And as they headed outside, Soap told him about how you had set up a whole area for them. Soap happily explained the process, and all the effort it took just so he could have a place to fly around. You weren't sure if Gaz liked flying like Soap or if he preferred the safety of the ground like Ghost, but either way he seemed interested in the area. 

Soap's favorite part was probably the water area, and so of course he wanted to show that area to Gaz first. And Gaz was just starting to open up, his arms weren't wrapped around his body anymore and he was looking around the area like he was ready to shift and fly up to see what it was all about. That was until Soap turned on the water, the sound alone made Gaz’s head snap in the direction and the moment he saw the water he was frantically backing away before curling up into a ball. Soap immediately turned it off and ran to Gaz’s side, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, but it seems like you guys found the one thing Gaz can't handle, likely what was used to make him so compliant.

Finally, after much talking, you and Simon have the final guest list. And when you first sent it to your sister she was super excited about it, then she actually looked at it and called you worried “this is it? This is everyone?” you agreed “it’s your wedding, but there's a lot of people not on here, I’m sure you remembered what happened with my wedding” Simon could see you wavering so he gently took the phone “we know, but it's our wedding and we just want it more personal, I’m sure we can handle it” Simon said while pulling you close. “That's what we thought too” your sister muttered, and Simon immediately said “if anyone has an issue I'll deal with it, that's what I'm here for. No offense to your husband” Simon quickly added the last part. Your sister was quiet for a moment, and you started getting worried again before she said “well this works, we can start planning a lot more now. But you two need to take engagement photos as soon as possible. And you'll need to tell mom about the guest list before the save the dates go out.”

You were relieved to know your sister was okay with the smaller guest list, but now your mind was already elsewhere. Not only did you and Simon need to take the engagement photos on a short notice but telling your mother was going to be a whole issue. Simon tried to keep you calm “it’ll be okay luv, jus’ let me handle it” so for the time being, you focused on the engagement photos. 

You were going through your clothes trying to find something nice that fit the engagement atmosphere. Although you were already thinking about going out to buy something, you wanted to look through your clothes first to make sure you didn't have anything. So you were giving Simon a mini fashion show every time you found something that might work. And you learned quickly that Simon was absolutely not going to help you choose what to where, every time you came out he said something along the lines of “that’s stunning luv” or “it’s perfect on you” or he would just silently stare at you with love in his eyes. You didn't mind too much though.

Eventually you found something you liked, but you were still going to have to go out and find Simon something that matched. You didn't need to look through his clothes, you were there when he bought all of them. When you finished changing out of the outfit and back into your regular clothes, Simon pulled you on top of him, falling onto the bed, even though it was covered in the clothes you had pulled out, much like the rest of your room. “Do ya know where we’re takin’ the photos?” you shrugged “I don't know, my sister just said she ‘had something in mind’” Simon just let it be, if you weren't stressing about it then it was fine. 

Except it didn't take long for you to start stressing about your mother. You two were supposed to be having a nice time making dinner, but you would just zone out mid conversation, mind worried about your mother. So Simon offered to call her now “all you need to do is tell her luv, I’ve got the rest” so while your food was cooking you sat on the couch, one hand holding on to Simon's while the phone rang. All you had said was “me and Simon finished the guest list” and immediately she said “that's great honey, you can send it to me so I can check it over and approve” that last part had Simon pissed, she didn't need to approve it, it’s not her wedding. “It’s already finalized, but I can send it to you, it’s going to be a small wedding” you said while texting her the list. 

Your mother barely had a chance to look over it before she was complaining "you're missing so many people, this isn't going to work. You didn't even ask me before putting this together” you turned to Simon for help, you had already told her no but she wasn't accepting it. Simon took the phone from your hands “we’re choosing to just have a small intimate wedding, that means there's going to be a lot of people left out. But that's our choice” maybe it was the authority Simon had when speaking, or the fact that he wasn't her son but your mother didn't push much after that. She still tried to guilt you by telling you how disappointed people were going to be, but Simon held your hand and told you it would be okay. Like he said, he would deal with that, you didn't need to worry about it.

Honestly the day’s gone much better than you expected. It was your therapy appointment, and usual you wouldn't be too bummed about, but it wasn't just your regular appointment. Rather it was an evaluation appointment to see if you're where you need to be, and to see what you still need help with. Those kinds of appointments are always stressful, not during but before. You sit there for days worried she’ll tell you you're behind in training and that it’ll impact your future abilities, always a small part of you worried she’ll say you won't be able to walk on your own one day. You know that makes no sense, everyone has been hopeful and even your therapist says it’s likely, but of course you still worry, you know how fast things can change.

And on top of that, you would normally go to these kinds of appointments with the 141. Both because they want to know what’s going on with you and your healing, and so you have more comfort, and that was your plan before they had to go on mission, you didn't even have enough time to switch the date to an earlier one. You still had Simon, which you were unbelievably grateful about, but still it was scary. Yet in the end, you left the appointment with a smile on your face.

Not only did your doctor confirm that you were exactly where you needed to be, she also said you could move forward with harder training. You could begin using your crutches for longer, of course if it was easier to use your wheelchair or have Simon carry you that was fine too, and you could start walking in small increments, well after some training. It would be too risky for you to just go straight to walking, even if it was just for a short distance, but you can start practicing with Simon there to help you. And on top of that she confirmed that a full or almost full recovery was still possible for you, although you're not sure you'll ever be as strong as you once were, but it’s better than nothing.

Simon wanted to celebrate, even if it was something small. So after the appointment he took you out for a little picnic, just something small and intimate, where you two could relax and eat together before heading home. While you two were packing up to leave you gave Simon a look, “what’s wrong” you shrugged before admitting “sometimes it feels wrong to have fun when I know they're out there” Simon helped you up, holding you close “they would want you to be happy and not in pain luv”

I’m thinking foster dad price x foster kid reader (familial/platonic only) and reader has a service dog and perhaps uses a wheelchair for their disability (preferably pots but can really be any physical disability) but due to readers past family/families that they’d lived with, they struggle to express their needs and price has to help them open up!

(one of my favorite parts of writing fics is getting to do research on stuff, medical or other. Also I write all the 141, Ghost is just my favorite. Also the dog is names Riley, just cause) Platonic/familial Price x reader

You've long since gotten used to pots, what isn't normal for you is being around people who actually care and see the risks. You're used to people brushing off your concerns, or giving advice without actually knowing anything about pots. But Price wasn't like that surprisingly. If anything he was the complete opposite. It was a huge change compared to your regular foster homes.

Not only did Price let you use your wheelchair all throughout the house, you learned he completely rearranged almost the whole house so your wheelchair could fit, he’s even started making a ramp in front of the house for you. No furniture in the whole house has sharp or jagged edges. There's tons of sitting areas around the house and bars on the wall so you have something to grab and lean onto when getting up. The pantry is always stocked, and unlike some of your other foster families, Price doesn't make you follow a strict diet. There’s snacks that help with pots, and just regular snacks, Price leaves it up to you. But he does strongly encourage water, especially if you're going outside where it's hotter.

You even brought your dog Riley, which some of your foster houses had issues with, but Price doesn't mind, even offers to walk Riley or take him out so that you don't have to go out into the heat. Overall, it's probably the most accepting place you've been in. But even still there are things you struggle with. And the main thing you struggle with is asking for things. After so many people telling you you're asking too much, it gets hard to ask for things without feeling like a burden, especially when you can see how much effort Price has already put in. Even just opening up is hard after being in that environment for long.

And of course Price has noticed, he even offered to get you a therapist but you're not ready for that right now. But you've been struggling the past few days. When you first got to Prices home you already had a few things to help you with your pots. Riley, your wheelchair, a heart rate monitor, and compression socks. But the problem is that most of that stuff is really old and falling apart. Your compression socks have holes, your heart rate monitor broke last week, and your wheelchair has been slowly falling apart. 

Price did notice the wheelchair when he first met you, offered to buy you a new one or fix it up, but you insisted it was fine, because at the time it was. And Price just assumed you had an attachment to it and didn't push. But now the armrests have cracks and aren't sturdy enough for you to use when getting up, the wheels are loud and get locked up easily, and worst of all the seat itself has begun falling apart, you can't even sit comfortably anymore. It feels like a lot to ask for though, especially when Price wasn't the one who bought it in the first place. And you're worried he won't think you genuinely need them, you've had plenty of foster families not understand how much the small things help.

And of course everything came crashing down while you two were out. It was supposed to just be a quick trip to the store, short enough that you didn't think you would need to bring Riley or your wheelchair. But without Riley or your heart rate monitor you didn't see the signs, and without thinking you bent down to grab something from a shelf and immediately fainted. Price quickly helped and brought you home, during the mini chaos he somehow noticed you were missing your heart monitor and weren't wearing any compression socks, which maybe wasn't odd if you were home, but Price knows you don't leave the house unprepared.

Laswell outright said Simon was damn near asking for the impossible. Everyone from the Mexican military and the cartels would try to stop you from leaving. She wanted to just tell Simon no, it wasn't possible, but Price pushed, telling her how desperate Simon was, and with a sigh she said “you and your team always have the most outrageous tasks” but she agreed to look into it. In the meantime she advises they do everything they can to keep you secret while also trying to gain your trust, all of them, not just Simon.

Which is why the 141 are standing in front of a table covered in everything they think someone your age might like. While you just stood with your arms wrapped around your body, staring at them wearily. Eventually Simon came into the room, you already trusted Simon, at least more than you trusted anyone else, so right now it was just the rest of the 141 trying to gain your trust. As soon as Simon saw them he shooed them away, “jus’ think how scary you seem to them right now” even though they were no longer just ominous standing there waiting for you to move, you knew they were still watching you. You tried to cling onto Simons leg but he stopped you “Lo prometo, puedes confiar en ellos.” (I promise, you can trust them.)

Simon stayed for a bit, just to see what you would do. And eventually, very slowly you moved towards the table. You know good and well this could just be bribery, luring you into a false sense of safety, but you're also bored. There's nothing to do, you've spent years in that little basement, and now that you're out you want to do things. Plus, you trust Simon, you're still not sure why, but you don't think he would trick you. So you hesitantly grab a coloring book and some crayons before rushing back to Simon. Simon gets you all set up on the couch, before leaving, he takes all the 141 with him. 

After a while Gaz came back in, he sat on the other side of the room, he had his own little book but you couldn't see much from where you were. Honestly you were curious, you tried to ignore it but you wanted to know what he was doing. So you slowly put down your own book and cautiously walked over to Gaz. Even up close you still weren't sure what he was doing, it just seemed like a bunch of words on the page. But Gaz brought the paper closer to you, while explaining in a soft voice that it was a word search. He pointed to one of the words in the word list before showing you where it was.

Gaz wasn't really sure if you understood, or even found it interesting, but still he flipped through the pages to an easier one before handing you a pencil “you try?” hesitantly you grabbed the pencil and started the puzzle. You were surprisingly good at it, and if there was a word you couldn't find you would point at it while looking at Gaz and he would help you find it. When you managed to finish the puzzle Gaz offered you another one but you just grabbed your own coloring book and began coloring again, this time sitting next to Gaz. After a while Simon walked past and noticed you, he gave a small thumbs up to Gaz before continuing on, 2 down, 2 to go.

Simon misses you. And at first he really isn't sure what kind of excuse he could make to see you again. He knows he could just knock on your door and ask to join you for dinner, and he knows you would let him in with a smile on your face, but that feels too direct and intrusive. You're just his neighbor that's helped him out a few times, he only really sees you in passing or the few times you've helped him out. So in Simon's mind the best way to see you again, would be to have another problem that needs fixing, even if it meant making the problem himself. 

The problem with that though was that you were just over like a week ago to fully clean his place. He only asked you to come help with his fridge but after seeing the state of his apartment you took it upon yourself to make sure nothing else was broken and give the place a good cleaning. But that also means you know nothing in his house is broken, since you checked everything. So Simon's been walking around his place for the past 20 minutes seeing what he can brake without it being too obvious.

And as Simon walked into the small laundry room he remembered something. When you were here you used lots of towels for dusting and cleaning and even a mop head. Most of it was your own, but because everything was already in Simon's apartment you asked to just wash it in his washer. So you never got a chance to actually look at his washer or dryer, which made it the perfect thing to break. Problem was, his washer was absolutely fine, in fact Price bought it like a year ago, and Simon had no clue how to semi break the washer without completely ruining it and potentially causing a fire or flooding.

So Simon sat down and did some research before going out to buy stuff. Did he feel a little foolish buying stuff to intentionally break his washer just so you could come over again and fix it? Yes. But he tried to keep it simple, originally he was just planning on buying a bunch of towels to overfill the washer, then he stumbled onto a weighted blanket, which sounded like a much better idea so he got that as well. He bought a very small tool kit, not cause he was planning on fixing things himself, no he had you to do that for him, but so he could unscrew parts of the washer and remove things. Originally Simon was embarrassed to get so much help from you but now he’s entirely accepted it.

Simon waited till he knew you were off, he didn't want to take up too much of your time. First he unscrewed the back of the washer, honestly he wasn't sure what he was doing, he simply moved some stuff around, loosened stuff here and there, enough to cause worry but not stop the washer. He thinks. Then he loaded it, completely ignoring the washing instructions on the weighted blanket’s packaging, even adding in extra towels. Then he threw in small random things, coins, pins, clips, anything small enough that it might clog the drain. Then he sat back and let it run, it didn't take long before it started making noises, but Simon let it keep going till it stopped on its own, still filled with water. 

Then Simon went get you, clothes wet, arm soaked, he didn't actually make an attempt to stop it, he just wanted to look the part. And immediately you were grabbing a towel for him and asking what happened. Simon walked you to his washer “don’t know what happened, jus’ started a load before I went to sleep. Sorry” you waved your hand dismissively “oh it’s okay, just go sit baby, I’ve got it.” you brought him to the sofa, careful with his injured hand, just imagining how much he could've hurt himself trying to fix himself. Once he was sitting you headed to the washer.

Your first step was to remove all the items in it, you moved all the towels to a basket, taking it to your apartment to put it in your wash. His weighted blanket would have to wait though. While you were in your apartment you grabbed towels, your tool kit, and a bucket. First you unplugged the washing machine, then placed the towels around to catch any spilled water. You undid the back panel and let the water slowly drain out, before removing all the items that were trapped in the drainage area. Once it was drained you checked everything in the back, there were multiple things loose or out of place and as you fixed it you silently cursed yourself for not remembering to check it early. You were so focused you didn't even notice when Simon got up from the sofa, or when he appeared in the doorframe, you had no clue he had been watching you almost the whole time. 

You finally noticed him right when you were done “did I break it?” Simon asked softly and it just broke your heart. You pushed the washer back in place “no baby, it’s all fixed” you pointed to the weighted blanket that was still soaked in the basket “you just need to wash that by itself from now on” and you pointed to the pile of stuff you had pulled out from the drain pipe “and maybe check your pockets before washing” Simon apologized again, promising it wouldn't happen again. You simply gave him a hug, promised it was okay, and asked if he wanted to come over to eat, and of course he said yes, he did this whole thing so he could see you again, and he isn't going to pass up any more opportunities to see you and be around you. Especially not if it means getting more images for his imagination at night, because the picture of you bending over while fixing the dryer is definitely going to be stuck in his head tonight.

You three made it back right in time to find Price and Soap huddled around the table listening to the radio. “What’s happening?” Ghost asked, immediately sitting next to Price to listen in, you and Gaz joined after putting down the equipment. “He seems to be losing it, someone reported him barging into every room looking for someone and now it seems like he is demanding all soldiers go outside again” Ghost nodded before pointing at you “he remembers them, and realized he hasn't seen them since” both Soap and Price let out a small “oh” 

“That makes more sense,” Soap said in a whisper. “We need to pack up” Price said, before leaving to head outside. You absolutely were not going to have that, why the hell would you guys leave right now, their boss is going mad, that's a good thing for you guys. You wanted to just barge outside and demand some kind of reasoning, but that would definitely get you kicked off the team, Simon's kid or not. So you just begrudgingly packed up the few things while calming down, you still wanted an answer but you weren't going to demand it. 

As soon as you were done you headed outside to Price, and in your calmest voice you asked “why are we leaving, we’re in the perfect position” Price shook his head "there's still way too many unknowns to say that, yes things could go perfectly but they could also go horribly. And we’re not leaving, but we’re heading further out, no trace of us here, it’s too risky” it wasn't the answer you wanted but it was better than just outright leaving the place and abandoning the mission. As you were walking back in Price added “it’s only until we know what their next move is”

Price said you guys would wait till night before leaving, just to see what would happen in that time. And while waiting their boss did the unexpected. Gaz was the first to notice something was off, he pointed out how there was absolutely nobody outside, not a guard in sight. Then Soap added that they hadn't heard anything on the radio in hours, even on the other channels. Honestly Price was about to say screw it and head out early, right now he’d rather be safe than sorry. Then while Soap was flipping through channels there was one active one. “Do you think he’s serious” “yeah, everyone is packing up” 

You all shared a confused look, crowding around the radio. You weren't sure who was talking but they were obviously talking about the boss and not wanting to be caught. “He’s gone crazy, sending everyone on base back home” “this whole thing was stupid and risky anyways, I’d rather be home” whoever they were, they were done talking. Soap tried flipping through more channels but there was nothing. Price was whispering to Ghost inside, while you and the sergeants just sat outside waiting. It didn't take long before people started exiting the base with their items. That's when Price came out and said, “We're leaving now, but we’re leaving a recording device here and we’ll be back in the morning. 

As you guys were leaving you asked “do you think they’re headed the same way” in such a thick forest you doubted there were other airfields in the area. “Possible, but we’re leaving earlier and there's only 5 of us compared to them, so we have an advantage. Still we may have to hide out while they are there” and sure enough as you guys were walking, Gaz checked on the recorder and he could hear talking and footsteps, not close enough to make anything out but it did confirm they were coming in the same direction. And on top of that, while walking, Price also got an urgent call from Laswell.

Simon who falls for reader without even realizing it. He’s never voiced his autism to anyone in base, yet somehow you just know and perfectly accommodate him. It started when he had to stay in the nurses area for a few days due to an injury (and Simon not having a good reputation of taking care of himself) he sheepishly asked you for soft loose fabric instead of the standard and when you asked he said that the regular uniform just felt wrong. You didn’t complain, you simply got it for him and even brought him extras so he wouldn’t have to wear the old uniform after his stay. 

Then during that same visit, you saw him gagging on all his food, and refusing to even eat half of it. And of course as his nurse you can't let that happen, you needed to figure out what's wrong. Simon tried to just brush it off as him not liking it, but eventually you told you how he didn't like the texture of it, and how he didn't like the taste when the food touched or mixed together. You took Simon's tray and threw it before leaving the room, and Simon just assumed you were tired of his behavior and pickiness, like most people. But you came back not long later with a new tray, this one had portions and none of the food was touching. It was all nice safe foods and you even brought Simon extra utensils so he didn't have to use the same one for two different foods. Simon was honestly speechless and you simply said “it’s not an issue, just have to tell me”

You also somehow noticed all of his little habits and the things he didn't like. How looking directly at him while speaking made him nervous, so you started talking with your body slightly faced to the side. You also noticed the way he never looked directly at you while talking, eyes always either on the floor or the wall on the side of you, but you never corrected him or demanded he looked at you. You noticed the way the bright overhead light made him nervous and gave him a headache, so you brought in little lamps that Simon could change the brightness on. You noticed Simons fidgeting and even brought him little fidget toys so he would have something proper to fidget with.

Soap was antsy the entire car ride over, Ghost tried to keep him calm but he was just as nervous, just better at hiding it. As soon as you got there you encountered your first issue, they didn't want to let you in. Said you needed permission, or proof of an appointment. So you backed up and called the guy from earlier, he had you pull back up and hand your phone to the guy blocking you. You're not exactly sure what he said, but the man immediately let you through.

Then you encountered another problem after entering, you had no clue who Gaz's doctor was nor did you have any relation to Gaz. In fact they didn't even know Gaz’s name. You were honestly confused on what to do when a doctor came out from the back, she asked if you were the one that helped save multiple dragons the other night, and once you told her yes she motioned for you to follow her. She didn't take you directly to Gaz, just a more private room “listen, I applaud what you did, it must've been a lot to sit through. But that dragon isn't in a good state right now and he is highly valuable. The dragon isn't yours, therefore I can't let you see them.” Her words were strict but totally understandable considering the circumstances.

But before you could say anything, both Soap and Ghost stepped forward, they recounted everything they could remember about Gaz, physical marks on his body, color of his scales and eyes, even his blood type. She didn't seem to believe them till they mentioned a small mark on one of Gaz’s legs, she left to grab her notes before coming back with a confused expression “it would have been incredible hard to see a birth mark from far away, especially with the scars over it” she looked at Soap and Ghost genuinely confused and still weary, but she let the three of you see Gaz, with her watching.

Gaz was in a huge indoor area, yet, he was laying perfectly still in the corner. The three of you stopped when you saw him, he was awake, just watching you guys across the room. “He’s not hostile by any means, in fact he’s concerningly docile. Barley even moves” you knew it was extra concerning considering he was a dragon. Before you could move closer or say anything, Ghost and Soap shared a look before saying “Gaz” it was loud but not a yell. Immediately he looked up, eyes directly on them. You could see the shock on the doctor's face, she had definitely tried everything to get him to react, so seeing him react so easily was obviously a shock.

And even more shocking was when Gaz got up and ran straight towards Ghost and Soap, the doctor practically screamed even though he wasn't aiming for her. Gaz laid entirely on top of them and they just smiled. The doctor turned to you so confused, looking for some kind of explanation “they’re all shifters, and old friends” she seemed to find that hard to believe, but it was hard to deny when Gaz shifted back. His clothes were tattered but he had the biggest smile on his face. “I missed you two” his voice was breaking the whole time speaking, like he hadn't spoken in years. While hugging them, his smile faded and the tears started falling. And once the tears started he couldn't stop them, just desperately clutching Soap and Ghost, unwilling to let go.

Part 28

After lunch you guys went to the park, both so your niece could play and so your sister could get some fresh air. You and Simon only got home around 4 pm with clear instructions from your sister, making a guest list. And at first Simon was confident it would be easy, but after seeing you and your sister's reactions he’s not so sure anymore. “We should get started” you said almost as soon as you two entered the house “it’s not going to take that long luv, I’m sure we can at least sit for a bit”

You agreed, and the moment you two did start working on a guest list, Simon immediately understood the look from earlier and why you had wanted to start immediately. “Luv, it's a wedding not a family reunion party” you had written down everyone who was a potential guest “who the hell even are half these people?” you held Simon's hand as you explained “half the people at our wedding are going to be people I don't know or I barely know” Simon looked at you so confused “everyone knows everyone here, and when you don't invite certain people to your wedding, people talk, it comes off as rude.” Honestly Simon was still confused, and he was so sure that not everyone needed to be invited, “can ya at least put your relation to these people so I know who were talking about” with well over a hundred names Simon was definitely going to get confused.

It took some time but you finished labeling everyone, and that only made Simon more confused “your kindergarten teacher is on here, your old mailman, and your moms childhood friend, do you even know these people?” you shrugged “kinda” Simon just looked at you with a blank expression, “I know I know, it's a lot. But we can narrow it down. I just don't want people to be mad if we don't invite them. My sister almost had someone crash her wedding because she didn't invite them” Simon pulled you closer “that won't happen. We just need to take time going through it” Simon would much rather just run off and get married alone, but he knows that's not what you want so he’ll spend however long is needed to go through the list.

It was hard for you to remove people from the list, you were just picturing their disappointment or your mothers harsh words. So Simon set up a system, at the top of the list was your family and close friends, then it was old/childhood friends and family friends (that you personally know, Simon did have to specify) then it was people you know, but never close with, lastly it was people you didn't know, which Simon thought it would be easy enough to kick them off the list but no. “Why does your old neighbor need to be invited?” you really didn't have an answer for him “do you even know this woman” he said pointing at another name “I met her once” you said sheepishly and Simon grabbed the pen to scratch off her name but you stopped him “my sister didn't invite her and she kept bothering them for weeks day and night till she invited her”

You two weren't getting anywhere and Simons started to realize it's less about you wanting everyone there, and more about you being anxious about people's reactions. Simon made you take a break, he pulled you into the bed, you wrapped your arms around him, smushing your face into his side. After a while he whispered “this is our wedding luv, no one else’s” he left it at that for now. You guys stayed like that till dinner and that's when Simon brought it up again “why don’t you make a list of everyone you truly want at the wedding, then we can go over everyone else” you agreed, and your personal list was around half of the total list. Simon wants you to be happy on your day, now he just has to convince you that they all really don't need to be invited, he’ll deal with them, you don't need to worry about that.

Part 32

You and Simon spent the morning helping the guys get ready to leave. You made sure they ate and drank water before sending them off to change, that's about all you could do not being able to walk. When you two got on base, Simon helped grab weapons, ammo, tech, water, food, and extra gear. He brought you everything for you to sort through and make sure they had enough, knowing you would feel useless being unable to help. Simon even triple checked the first-aid kit, weapons, and gear, he needed to be extra sure. 

When there was nothing more to do, Simon sat down next to you. The guys were still in a meeting going over the mission again, going over the plan, and making sure they had everything. You reached over and grabbed Simon's hand. you thought you had accepted it, you would never be in that room again, going over a mission, never getting in gear again. But being here on base, helping your teammates get ready, it hurts, knowing you never get to do that again. You knew this day would come, they would need to move on, and when you think about Simon going with them right now your heart hurts even more. Knowing Simon chose to stay and help you makes the whole thing hurt more in an odd way.

Simon squeezed your hand “it’s okay luv” he knew what you were thinking, at least a part of it. It hurts being here, helping, but knowing you won't be going on the mission with them. But Simon knows it feels different for you, he chose this, and he would make that choice again and again, but being forced to stay home, physically unable to join them, he knows it's a different kind of feeling. But Simon is optimistic, in a few days you guys have another therapy appointment, even if the guys will be gone, you can still keep healing, he knows they'll come back, they have to.

When the guys finally finished their meeting they packed all the supplies into the plane before getting off to say goodbye. Soap leaned down a told you "you're going to do amazing, by the time we get back you'll be able to beat me up again” you both smiled, remember the time you managed to flip him over while training cause he pissed you off that morning, you doubt it'll ever happen again but Soap was right, you would get stronger while he’s gone. Gaz stopped in front of Simon “it’s going to be hard without you both” he hugged Simon before adding “take care of them, and yourself” Price was quiet, you knew he was already thinking about the mission, so you told him “everything going to be okay, it always is” none of you fully believed it, but it eased some worry.

You and Simon stayed until you couldn't see the plane in the sky, and honestly you shed a few tears while watching. Simon helped you into the car before heading back to Price's place, both to clean up after last night and to grab all the food. Price had already started cleaning up earlier in the morning even though you and Simon told him not to. You sat and organized the board games, making sure all the pieces and cards were there, especially since you remember Soap throwing his cards at the wall on of the times he lost, he’s really bad at uno. While Simon cleaned up the food and drinks, Simon even vacuumed Price's couch, and mopped the floor. It took Simon multiple trips before he got all the food in the car, then he came back in to get you “won’t have to cook for days luv” Simon mumbled while carrying you to the car. When you guys got home you both just laid in bed silently, not exactly sure what to do now.

Part 33

Simon has a huge problem and he has no clue what to do about it. It took him way longer than he’d like to admit to figure out what he was feeling, but he has a crush on you. Simon hasn't had a crush in years, well before he was even in the military, but now he has the biggest crush on you, he’s damn near obsessed. Which wouldn't be the biggest deal, except, you’re Price's sister and you're totally off limits. And when Simon has a problem he would normally ask Price for advice, but obviously that's completely off the table.

Thankfully you don't work directly on the team, but you work with Laswell just on a smaller scale, you work mostly with the 141, in fact your office is on base. Even though being around you makes Simon super nervous, he loves that you're so close. Being mid mission and getting to hear your voice feels like salvation for him, and just passing you in the hallway has him forgetting his name. Occasionally you join the 141 during their team bonding, and Simon just spends the whole time staring at you.

How you nor Price are able to see his obvious crush the sergeants aren't sure, but they see it clear as day, and they immediately corner Simon about it. They tried to help Simon, but Simon wasn't ready to ruin your relationship, he had no clue if you even liked him, and he knew Price was absolutely going to say no. So that's where the sergeants started. Soap tried to subtly ask Price if you were single, but he saw through Soap clear as day, and very sternly said he was absolutely not allowed to date you or even flirt with you. Which only made Simon more discouraged. Gaz tried to offer advice on asking you out, even if it wasn't a date, but Simon was just too nervous.

Simons simply accepts that he’ll never get to be with you. And so instead he devotes his time to appreciating you in subtle ways. He knows he isn't the best with certain social things, so he goes out of his way to learn, and more specifically learn what you like and what you're comfortable with, what makes you tense up or makes you start fidgeting. Simon has a whole little notebook with things about you. 

He knows you don't like eating around others because being in a public setting makes you nervous and combined with food you get nauseous. He knows you don't like drinking coffee because it can make your anxiety worse, but if someone buys it for you'll force yourself to drink it. He knows before they go on a mission you often have so much to do, he knows you won’t sleep or eat, panicking trying to get everything done. So he makes sure to stop by, he brings you a snack even though he knows you wont eat it in the moment, but he makes you sit with him for a bit, while playing soft music, and just naturally your breathing evens out and you slowly calm down. He knows all the signs to tell when you're getting nervous, your leg shaking, cracking your knuckles, fidgeting with jewelry, biting at your lips, and if he pays really close attention he can see you sweating and the change in breathing. He knows what areas you avoid, and makes sure you don't have to go there. Simon knows this and so much more, he goes out of his way to help you in any way he can.
