Mac has been particularly stressed in the last period, because of the unsuccessful research of his father, so you and the team decide to take him to a peaceful place, where he can relax and free his mind. You and him come for first, spending the whole afternoon at the beach: the wind is cold so you stay wrapped in your heavy jackets and beanies all the time. When it’s around 7 pm you hear the sound of a car, parking in the street that hugs the coast of the beach. You turn yourself to look and see some familiar faces getting out the vehicle.

“Reinforcements arrive” Jack reaches for you with some packets of beer in his hands. “You guys didn’t think to throw a bonfire party without us?” he says laughing.

Riley and Bozer walk behind him, bringing food. “Guys, how long have you been here? I’m arrived from five minutes and I’m already frozen.” Riley says.

“Yes, Mac, why don’t you start a bonfire using some of your “in the wilderness” hacks?” Bozer asks the blondie while rubbing his hands to warm them.

Mac does as you requested and you, Bozer and Riley cook the dinner for everyone. When the food is ready you all sit in a circle around the fire: Mac and Jack from one side, and you between Riley and Bozer from the other. You all spend a beautiful evening together: and from where you are sit, you can tell that even Mac is enjoying it.

After dinner, Jack insists to play “Truth or Dare”, as usual. It is your turn, and since you don’t have anymore interesting truths to tell, you choose dare.

“Okay, Y/N I dare you to go swim in the sea” Jack says.

“Jack I hoped you asked me something more difficult” you say starting to open the zip of your coat.

“Do you really want to do this?” Mac says looking up at you shocked.

“Do you really want to do this?! She’s a grown up woman. Let her do what she wants” by the way Jack is mocking the boy you have the suspect he’s a little bit drunk, but you don’t dislike the idea of Mac getting worried for you.

“Do you know what temperature is the sea at this hour? You can risk…”

"Let me guess hypothermia or some other weird stuff you talk about everytime?!" Jack interrupts laughing at him.

"Don’t worry I’m better at swimming than walking, and then I don’t have to stay there for an hour” you reply to him, trying to hide your amused smile.

“Atta girl!" Jack keeps talking nonsense under Riley and Bozer's concerned looks.

“Jack, seriously it doesn’t seem a good idea” Bozer says shyly.

“Yes, Jack, if Y/N won’t be okay, I don’t think you’ll come rescue her, after all those beers you drank” Riley says mocking the man.

“Don’t you worry, guys. I’ll be good.” You say removing your trousers and sweater. “And then if you’re so concerned, you can always come and join me” you wink at them but you doubt that anyone will follow you in this challenge.

You are walking towards the sea, wearing only your underwear. You take a deep breath anticipating the cold feeling of the water on you skin.

“Y/N, wait” you turn yourself hearing Mac’s voice from far “I won’t let you go alone” he says taking off his trousers and shirt in front of you. You look at him speechless before diving in the dark water.

When you come back to surface, you are surrounded by darkness. The coldness of the water penetrate your skin like a knife. You keep swimming in deeper water until you feel something touching you on your lower back. Your heart starts beating faster.

“It’s me, don’t be afraid” he says smiling.

“You scared me to death! Never do that again, okay?” You say leaning on him to take breath.

“Are you okay?” He keeps his hand on your hip.

“Yes. Now let’s come back, okay?” You say starting to swim in the opposite direction.

“Tell me if you need help. I will keep you” he says swimming faster in front of you.

“I follow you”

You see his wet haired head and his muscled arms moving in the water, until you don’t see him anymore. Maybe he’s gone underwater or you just swim too slowly and you lost him. At a certain point, you feel something hitting your feet. That’s weird since the sea is deep at least 150 inch in that point.

“I told you to stop, Mac!” You scream in the darkness, only silence as response. “Mac, are you there?” You scream louder.

You are about to do it again, when you feel a rough hand on your mouth and two arms lifting from the water and pushing you with violence on a motorboat. You can count three men on the small vehicle: one of them got a flashlight in his hand and, while he’s struggling to turn it off, he lightens the portion of sea where you were swimming until few minutes before. You now understand what was the thing that touched you. There was a dead body floating under you.

Orange roses: Fascination, Enthusiasm, Desire

[Y/N] sat on the couch, constantly checking the clock. He was late. Of course, airport traffic was always terrible, and it was also possible they’d lost his luggage or something… The list of things that could be holding him back was just about a mile long and that only made things worse. They let out a sigh and began to rearrange the orange roses that sat in the vase on the table in front of them. He’d been gone for months and they guessed an extra hour or two couldn’t be all that bad.

It had felt like forever before they finally heard the sound of a key turning in the door, their head perked up and they looked over just in time to see Angus walking in.

“I’m home! Sorry I’m late you wouldn’t believe- oof!” He began to call in but was quickly cut off by [Y/N] nearly tackling him. “I guess, you missed me huh?” He laughed, dropping his bag so he could wrap his arms around them.

“Three months, of only being able to communicate by letters, of course I missed you.” They said, resting their head on his shoulder.

“I know, I’m sorry Love.” He spoke, gently rubbing circles into their back and resting his head on top of theirs. “But I’ve got good news for ya this time!”

“What’s that?”

“I’m not leaving again for a couple a months and during that time, I’m all yours.” He told them, laughing again as he felt them hug him tighter. “Are ya gonna let me go anytime soon or are we just gonna stay like this the whole time?” He asked.

“Like this.”

“Well, it’s sure gonna be hard to sleep standing, also those pretty flowers over there will die.”

“Oh right!” They quickly let go of Angus and spun around to look at the roses, they’d actually forgotten about those. “I bought these for you. I thought you’d like them cause-“

“They represent fascination and enthusiasm, right?” He asked, walking over to the table and looking the flowers over. “And desire too if I remember correctly.” He added quickly with a small wink, grinning as he watched them flush.

“That is- That is not what I was thinking when I got those.” They stuttered out, looking away form him before clearing their throat. “Do you like them?”

“I love them! Suit me perfectly don’t ya think?”

“Well, with the meaning of fascination and enthusiasm yeah.” [Y/N] looked back to him with a smile. “You certainly have enough of both, they’re two of the many things I love about you.”

“Awwww, now you’re being sweet on me.” Angus laughed, walking back over to them and loosely wrapping his arms around their waist. “Ya know, I find you fascinatin’. Maybe after I unpack, we can go out and see what I can learn from you.”

“You’re pickup lines are still just as horrible as always I see.” They laughed, making him scoff and feign a hurt expression.

“Oi, I had to really think about that one. If you don’t start appreciatin’ the work I put into those pick-up lines, I’m gonna just have to stop them all together.” He removed one of his arms from their waist just to wag his finger at them, but they just swatted it away.

“I can only hope.” They teased, placing a kiss on his nose. “Now go unpack mister, you’ve already made me wait an extra hour for you.”

“Oh, getting bossy now huh?” He laughed as they stepped back from him.

“Only when you make me wait and there’s food involved.”

“Sounds about right.” He said with a small nod, before turning around and snagging one of the roses from the vase, inspecting it before nodding in approval and taking it with him.

“Why’d you do that?” [Y/N] asked with a frown as he walked past them.

“I’m gonna try and press it, that way I can keep it with me when I travel and have a piece of you with me even when I’m a world away.” He spoke with a thoughtful look and [Y/N] could feel their face starting to heat up again.

“I uh… Right. I um, I like the sound of that.” Their head perked up suddenly as they had an idea, turning and walking to the table to grab another rose from the vase to give to him. “You think you could try and press two of them?”

Angus looked down at the second rose and took it without a second thought. It would be like a link between them when he was gone when he would look at the rose and think of them, they could do the same.

“Of course, I can.” He said, kissing their forehead before picking up his bag with his free hand to take to their room.

“By the way, Angus…” [Y/N] said to get his attention before he disappeared down the hallway. “I have a confession to make.” They sighed, rubbing the back of their neck.

“And what’s that Love?”

“I actually didn’t know what the roses meant. I just bought them because I thought they were really cool looking.” They admitted.

“…Really?”

“Yep, I had no idea they meant that. Sort of a happy accident really.” They shrugged with a laugh.

“Well, you still picked great and I still love them. Now, I should really get this unpacking done before you get too hungry. I know better than to deal with a ravenous wild animal.” He said, turning to walk away again.

“Hey!” They shouted, watching him quickly starting to sprint and hearing a muffled “Love you!” after the door to their bedroom was slammed shut. “You’re lucky I love you…” They muttered to themselves with a smile.

I didn’t really try to do the accent too much on this one, I tried to look something up like I did with the German accent but couldn’t really find anything... Anyway! Here I’m picturing that the reader and Angus have been together a rather long time. Plus I figured that of course the Survival Hunter would know all about plant meaning and such, so why not have the reader be clueless for once? Haha! Anyway, as always I accept any and all feed back, I hope you enjoyed the blurb and thank you for reading!
