I see a lot of fics and drabbles where the reader is the only human in the 141 and I'd love to see the opposite. would you perhaps write something where theyβre the only hybrid? ππ»ππ»
OHOHOHOHO I CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT!
Anon, you angel, you gave me so much room to indulge, this is pure self indulgence. I'm sorry if you had some specific gender or hybrid species in mind for reader, so I made them gn and went with my favorite big cat native to my country, the Jaguar (I'm Jaguar's biggest fangirl sue me)
You were one of the best. If not the best soldier around. A hybrid, something that's growing more and more common in military fields, and you? You're an apex predator to the core. A black panther hybrid, third biggest feline of the world, bite so strong it can pierce an enemy's skull like a simple ration's cracker.
You were strong, with a swooshing tail and small black years, some might find them cute if not for those striking golden eyes, eyes so sharp they leave any human soldier frozen, their bodies knowing they're in the view of a predator.
And not to mention, differently from lions and tigers, the other two biggest feline predators of the world, you have the upper hand in basically everything. You can climb, swim, stalk, hunt nightly or daily, all dead silent.
And that, coupled with your competence, that lead you a place in the 141 task force. You met with Price beforehand, then, after an interview, was brought to their base. It was a majorly human base, few hybrids, most being ones that didn't have much affect in their results. The sargents and the lieutenant? Human too. And you knew, despite having the biological uphand, for them to be an all human task force and still be so high seen, then they're very capable.
You weren't the most outgoing. It's natural for you to be alone most of the time, so used to having your hybrid side focused on, you tended to lean into those insticts. Jaguars are solitary creatures, and it didn't matter that you were part human and still needed social connection; humans were scared of you, and in your line of work, you already expected it.
What you didn't expect was for Soap to find you quietly eating on a hidden corner of mess hall and sit down in front of you, immediately bombarding you about how does military rations affect you, if you receive bonus food because of being a jaguar, if you hunted for food outside base since the rations were human sized. It left you a big stunned, but you couldn't help it, something in you just screamed to enjoy this little social interaction, so, for the first time in many years, you indulge in your human instincts.
Then, a few days later, after having Soap sit with your for every meal, always curious about your biology. Gaz shows up. He asks about combat, about your past missions, how does it feel to not only rely on guns and knifes, if it was easier for you to use your claws and teeth rather than guns (it was, most of the time), if gunshots are louder to you because of feline hearing (that was the first time someone noticed that).
It was weeks like this. Gaz and Soap warming up to you over the days, going from just asking questions to genuinely liking your company. Slowly, it went from just a few meals together, to hanging out on the lounge area together. And then you went with them on your first op since tranfer.
And there you were, seated on the ride back after a tiring op, the boys talking lots about how it would've been so much slower if not for you, how you were amazing, looking so pumped about the new addition. Price didn't say anything, but he patted your shoulder after said mission, a simple touch, but you felt so accepted, he didn't seem scared of you, despite both of you knowing you could kill him right then, he didn't see you as a threat, and that, that felt good.
And after a few months since you were transferred to the 141, Ghost joined your table in meals too. Not saying anything, but quietly watching as you, Gaz and Soap interacted. His way of socializing was training together, sparring, pushing each other to be better. He didn't say it, didn't show it, but you were so fascinating to him. He secretly admired your competence and how deadly you were ever since that ride back from your first op, where you sat there smiling at Gaz and Soap with your face and claws covered in blood.
Soon enough, you found out you liked having them around. And without even noticing, you started letting go of that closed off, scary persona you were so used to. Yes, you're competent and deadly and strong. Yes, you'd rumble out greetings to Gaz, nuzzle against Soap when you two would be in the couch together, let out rawrs and other vocal sounds that are so scary to the recruits, but so common for Gaz, Ghost and Soap. Even Price didn't escape it. Being licked by your rough tongue that one time he was splattered with blood after an op.
And before you knew, you started treating them as your pack. Something not even you were really sure about. You barely had much of an introduction to pack dynamics since you left your parent's house. So now you're out here grooming Soap's mohawk, scenting Gaz, playfighting Ghost and coddling Price (which consists of manhandling him out of his office and onto his bed when he insists on working late), all while they're all oblivious to it, but happy enough to indulge in. (definitely not because they're all hopelessly pinning over you, nuh uh)
