#cod romance

We head back to the house. Simon and I walk around to the front of the house while König goes inside to open the window for me to sneak in.

“So I have to stay in here all night? What if I have to pee?” I ask Simon.

“Sorry luv. I think you’ll be alright. If you really have to go you can piss in König’s mouth. I’m sure he’ll love that.” He smirks then heads back into the house from the back door.

König opens the window and pulls me up by my wrists in through the pane. The plastic of the sill scrapes my thighs and knees so I wrap my arms around his neck for better support.

As he steps back to pull me the rest of the way in, he trips backwards and we both fall onto the floor, my arm still wrapped around the back of his neck. I’m so close to his face and just realized he’s not wearing his head gear. He must have taken it off before he opened the window.

I’m still weak from being locked away for years so his heavy head has my arms pinned under him. While in the moment, I notice he has piercing blue eyes and a blonde buzzcut. He has a somewhat sadness in his eyes.

“Oh I’m sorry I uhh…” he starts. I can feel his heart pounding against my stomach and shaky breath on my face.

“My arms are stuck. Can you get up please now…” I sound more demanding than asking. It was intimidating being that close to his face. He’s a beautiful man and his facial harmony would turn heads. Why does he wear a mask outside of work?

He gets up grabbing my upper arms helping me up at the same time.

“Sorry I must have tripped on something.” He says backing up to sit on the bed.

I turn around and look for what he was talking about.

“Oh, you mean the air?” I say with a straight face. He laughs under his breath and looks away.

“Something like that.” He says.

“So I guess you’re stuck in here with me. Unless you’re going to go hang out with your friends too.” I make my way over to his dresser and look at his things to hide the awkwardness. Some perfume, a couple family photos, a pair of square stud earrings and watch.

“No. Those are not my friends. Those are Simon’s friends. Well… coworkers. But they are all we know. I have my own friends who are also my coworkers. But I don’t see them much.” He tells me, averting my gaze again.

“Well, I’m your friend. And I’ll be here all the time.” I turn around and smile really big almost sarcastically.

“Then that’s enough for me.” König smiles back. He has a beautiful smile as well. It seems to reel me in and I freeze forgetting what we were talking about.

“Hey so I really need to get to sleep. It’s like 2pm and sleeping would be a good alternative to feeling these constant hunger pangs.” I say walking over to the other side of the bed.

“You’re hungry? I didn’t even think about that. I’m sorry. I can make you something before you sleep.”He begs.

“No really it’s fine. I can wait till morning. I just really want some shuteye. Please.” I insist. I start pulling down his blankets and crawl under them laying on my stomach facing away from him. He turns the light off and comes back to sit in the same spot he was in before.

I decided to start making drabbles for Louis and the 141. So here it is! This one is going to be Ghost x Louis x Soap and it's just a fluffy and spicy little thing I came up with hehe. I got the romance prompt from urfriendlywriter Love these prompts!

The next morning I wake up looking for the alarm clock. 11:49AM. I roll over and see König is still there. Laying. Next to me. He’s facing the window I snuck in last night with his back to me.

It’s cold in his room. And I don’t have any warm clothes. I must be feeling either super brave or just cold enough to scoot close to him for some body heat. He’s big and surely has enough to share.

I press the whole front of my body against his back in a big spoon position and put my arm around his ribs pulling the blanket back up for maximum heat.

He doesn’t move but it still feels a bit strange. He owes me for his tripping and falling last night.

“Maus, your skin feels so cold. Like ice.” whispers. I jolt back thinking he was still asleep. He grab my hand and pulls me back in draping his arm over mine and grabs my hand placing it against his chest.

“I’ll warm you up, don’t worry. Sorry we keep it cold. It helps us wake up in the morning.” He continues.

“I’m not trying to be a perv, is this okay? I’m shaking it so cold and I don’t want to get up. I thought I would try using you as a heater instead of messing with the temp dial.” I explain. He’s so tall my sock covered feet don’t even reach his knees in this position.

“It’s alright. You can use my body for a heater whenever you like Clover.” I love when he says my name. But I also like when he uses German words in place of my name. I wonder what Simon is doing.

“Can we lay like this all day?” I ask jokingly. I scoot back a few inches and graze my nails along König’s spine feeling him quiver each time I get close to the small of his back. There is no squishy on him. Hes rock hard muscle everywhere.

“I thought you were hungry.” He says snidely.

“And I thought you had work.” I retort, sitting up and making my way off the bed.

“Wait maus.” I pause. “Come back. Keep doing what you were doing. Please. It felt nice.” He says still laying in the same position but turning his head to see me.

“You liked that, huh?” I ask with a smirk. I come back to where I was before stroking his back alternating between my nails and hand and even sliding up to the back of his head.

“Five more minutes then we need to get up before my stomach eats itself and then I don’t have one anymore. It’ll just be esophagus straight to intestines.” I say dramatically.

“I have to ask you something maus.” König begins. “You can heal people, as well as yourself. What else can you do? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I can do a few things. I’m not really supposed to tell you but I trust that you and Simon aren’t out to get me so… I can size shift, and I can sometimes read minds. Also my sense of smell and hearing is crazy good but I never use it because everything is overwhelming most of the time.” I tell him this while still behind him. He really likes a good back rub.

“Size shifting? I’m guessing that means you can grow or shrink. One or the other? He asks.

“Both. I can grow and shrink but I’ve been so weak I haven’t been able to do it for a long time.” I say.

“Why didn’t you just grow or shrink to get away from that man?” He asks, starting to turn around and sit up.

“I know it seems easy but he threatened my family. I gave my life for theirs. Even if he was bluffing. I wasn’t sure. He never touched me so I could never read his mind to find out but his friends and others came and did his dirty work.” I say looking away from him. “Oh shit. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say some of that.” I say with an awkward frown.

“Look maus, Clover I mean… you can talk to me about anything. I promise I cannot judge you. You are our friend and important to us both now and I want you to feel comfortable with your feelings. I know i must sound corny but-“ I cut him off.

“König. I get it. I told you I trust you. But I don’t want you to think I’m desperate or throwing a pity party. I appreciate your words.” I beg.

He watches me pace the room waiting for permission to leave and head for the kitchen. Yearning for the one thing I’ve been waiting for for the past two days. FOOD.

König looks at his phone then back at me. “I guess Simon went to get takeout.”

“Takeout for breakfast?” I ask making a face.

“It’s 12:30pm. You missed breakfast.” He says getting up and heading for the kitchen. My first instinct is the bathroom. I pee, wash my hands and brush my teeth with the new toothbrush that magically appeared on the counter.

As soon as I get to the kitchen, the side door that connects to the garage opens and Simon walks in with a bag of takeout, some other bags with clothing brand names on them and no mask or headgear. He’s in civilian clothes. This is the first time Ive seen his face. He’s also blonde with a lot of scars on the side of his face and dark hazel eyes.

It’s hard not to stare but the daylight is making everything so clear. This is the first time I’ve seen them both without uniforms and I hope it’s not the last. They’re both so good looking.

“I got you some new clothes. I’m sure you don’t want to wear my dead wife’s clothes that are too big for you anyway. I assumed your size. A medium?” He asks pulling clothes out of the bags.

“I’m hungry.” I say. “Oh I’m sorry meant yeah I wear a medium or small and 6 1/2 in shoes. Thank you Simon, that was respectable of you. I appreciate it so much.” He looks down with a lifted brow at me as I swoop around the corner and hug his waist. He doesn’t hug me back and it didn’t go unnoticed by me.

“I’m not letting go until I get one back.” I hiss. He reluctantly gives one back.

“I got you food. Eat whatever you want. And you’re welcome for the clothes. Also, you don’t have to show physical affection as a thank you. The words will suffice.” He says glancing at König.

This one is a bit long and I rushed through it but I feel like I should explain the story since I haven’t yet- Clover Aesahaettr is an extraordinary girl. She has discovered she has some kind of genetically modified body that absorbs magic giving her powers that she accumulated from the XX virus. The XX virus only kills females hence the name. Set in the future(2046) It was created by the one world order which is beginning to collapse. Suddenly rescued and tied to the fate of Simon Ghost Riley and König and later their friends, she needs their help getting humanity back in order now matter what it takes.

(I’m not an experienced writer so bear with me on my dumbed down vocab and loss of details. So pls if u have any questions or need an explanation for something don’t be afraid to ask. It’ll help me write in the future! :)

“We need to talk.” Simon begins, walking to the other side of the island in the kitchen to face me.

“So talk.” I say eating a fry darting my eyes left and right.

“We need rules and boundaries for you. You live here now but you can’t just go running amuck doin’ what ya want.” He says sternly. Everything he says is stern.

I roll my eyes. “What do you think I’m gonna do? Just hoot and holler and let everyone know who and where I am?” I lean on the counter with an elbow and rest my chin in my hand already annoyed.

“All I ask is just clean up after yourself and keep quiet. Oh and you can’t leave this house without at least one of us. We have to protect you.” He continues.

“I can protect myself.” I retort. “I don’t need you guys following me around and stalking everything I do. I appreciate the hospitality here, but I’m not going to be chained up again. Physically, nor metaphorically.” I say rudely.

“You can heal, but how is that protecting yourself? You’re not going to scare anyone off by doing that.” He fights back, looking more and more agitated as our conversation goes.

“I can do more than heal.” Then König cuts me off for backup.

“Clover can do more than heal Simon. She can grow and shrink.” He pleads sternly.

“Prove it. Show me you can be trusted alone. I still don’t think it’s a good idea and König, you’re supposed to be on my side. See my point of view.” Simon retorts crossing his arm over his chest.

I’m seriously considering showing- proving that I can grow and shrink, but I haven’t done it in so long that if I mess up and embarrass myself, Simon will never let me leave here at all. Keeping eye contact I stand up, throw a single fry back into the to go plate and walk into the open space of the living room.

“Keep your distance. I don’t want either of you to freak out and step on me somehow.” I say rolling my eye.

I take a slow, deep breath, then focus and exhale, closing my eyes, and repeating the steps I took long ago to shrink. I feel a bit dizzy during the transition but that’s a good thing. That means it worked.

I open my eyes and all I see is the grey sectional couch from the floor’s height and both König and Simon step closer, peering over the back of the couch to look for me.

“Where’d she go?” Simon asks looking at König with wide eyes.

“I told you she could shrink! We best stay back and wait for her permission to come close.”

I walk around the end of the couch nearing König’s boot. I tilt my head all the way back to look at him and Simon. They’re still looking over the couch for me and still not moving their spots.

“Aww, you guys didn’t crush me. How sweet!” I yell up at them both sarcastically. They both snap their heads down in my direction at the same time and spot me right away, my dark shirt against the contrast of the white carpet.

Simon and König both get down on their hands and knees and into a prone position to see me better. They both are wide eyed like they’ve never seen a person shrink right before their eyes. Oh wait. They haven’t.

“You weren’t bloody joking.” Simon says wide eyed still. Him and König are both lying on their stomachs with their arms folded in front of them like two kids watching an ant carry a tiny piece of food. It’s quite adorable and I take a mental picture.

“You’re so tiny. You’re like… the size of my pinky.” König carefully lowers his hand next to me and sizes his pinky right next to my body for comparison.

“Well… smaller than my pinky actually.” I laugh at his observation.

“Yeah I get it, I’m small. And like I said, I can grow too but I’m definitely not doing that inside, or during the day.” I tell them both.

“It’s alright luv, I believe you now, but it’s still not safe for you to go in public. Especially off base without one of us. Using your power to escape a situation will just cause a scene and more eyes and more attention. I’m trying to keep you hidden from pervs and murderers who hate woman.”

König moves back before getting up and standing behind Simon while Simon still lectures me as I’m still this size. He continues, sliding closer and cupping his hands around me but not touching my body.

“Look Clover. This world is different. You’ve been gone so long, you’re not understanding how dangerous it is out there now. The second you are caught, freeze up and can’t use your powers, you’ll be gone in an instant and I can’t handle thinking about what could happen to you.” He says, tears forming in his eyes and voice getting shaken.

Why is me leaving affecting him so much? He doesn’t even know me and didn’t even want to hug me back. I think about it to myself in a disgusted way. Why is he acting like he cares all of the sudden.

I look around, feeing like a child being scolded by her parents. I eye one of his hands and turn around and sit on the edge of his palm. He jerks his head back a bit in surprise then tilts it to the side waiting for and argument back from me.

“You’re right.” I say running my hand along his. “I’ll respect your judgment and rules because it’s better than risking everything after you guys both risked everything to save me and I’m not going to waste that.” I say looking down at my feet swinging off the side of this hand.

I feel defeated and submissive under them both. But Simon is right. I can’t risk being caught by another vile person ever again.

“I promise maus, we’re not going to let anything happen to you as long as we’re around.” König adds in after hearing Simon’s spiel.

“Simon…” I say as if about to ask him something.

“What is it luv?” He asks with his full attention on me. König goes back to eating and ripping tags off of all the clothes for me.

“Why did you look sad?” I ask staring into his eyes, forcing him to keep eye contact with me.

“Sad when?” He asks tilting his head to the side.

“I’m not blind. And being this small, I can see the smaller details in life much easier. I saw tears forming. So what’s wrong?” I ask more concerned. He sighs heavy then begins:

“I had a wife and two daughters. They were younger than you. Well… way younger than you. The virus caught them years ago and death took them away from me.” He looks away and pauses then comes back.

“When I first saw you I was surprised you were a female. Then I started to resent you because somehow you were still alive miraculously and not my wife and children. But then after you hugged me, I knew I was wrong for feeling that way and it all changed in a matter of seconds. And now I vow to protect you with my life since I failed my family.”

Simon hangs his head down and rests on the carpet face down in some kind of surrender. I can hear him trying to choke back tears.

“I hear you. Simon. And I know exactly what you’re feeling. And you already know I’m going to tell you that this isn’t your fault and you know that. There is nothing that you could have done to prevent what happened to your family.”

I walk up to him and put my hand on his forehead and run my fingers through his hair, leaning my whole body into him as if trying to give a tiny hug. It’s strange seeing a man so vulnerable at this size.

I pace backwards and grow back to my normal size, crawl around to his side and give him a hug around his chest from behind while he still lays covering his face. I rub the side of his head and brush nonexistent hair out of his eyes.

I try not to read his mind because it’s painful for me physically, so I just let his emotions flow through me to ease some mental pain.
