#fender cod

a/n: Fender is a great operator. His newest skin for season 2 battle pass is AMAZING. a beautiful specimen tbh. but I hope this is a good read for some. (@lee-by-thy-side​ looking at you bestie) gonna throw a soft warning for the fact there is an angsty ending. 

“Fender” Takacs. First name unknown, however something tells me that his first name could be Ferdinand (Thank you Lee), Viktor, or Andre. Born to an American CIA operative, and Hungarian woman, ‘Fender’ never knew who his father was. The more he grew, the more his mother would tell him about the stories of who she knew him to be, causing ‘Fender’ to aspire to be as strong as he was.

Fender loved his family history, the cultural side of things. Embracing his heritage, he often dressed in the clothing and would participate in the dances during  the many festivals his home would host. His mother was an embroiderer, and growing up he adored every intricate detail she gave to each item. So much so, he asked her to draw up a design she wanted to do, and got it tattooed on his shoulder onto chest, left side, to hold his mother close to his heart when he would then travel due to his Military commitment. 

When his mother received word of his position on the 1st Explosion Ordnance Disposal Regiment, she grew worried for her son, taking a small piece of cloth and embroidering their family crest upon it, before mailing it off. She continuously worried, hoping he would receive the carefully crafted gift, until one day she received a letter in the mail from her son, a thank you letter for the gift, accompanied with his own drawing of his mother’s favorite flower; Tulips. 

Often times, she would mention how he had features that resembled his father, only for him to become a little sad due to never knowing who he really was. He often heard his mother cry in the middle of the night when he’d wake up, only to feel really bad. Sometimes he thought his appearance upset her; reminding her of the man who was taken too soon, never able to meet his son. Thought that because he resembled him so much, that he would follow the same fate as his late father.

“Fender, you look very handsome. Just like your father.” Her dainty and worked hands reach to caress her son’s cheeks, him leaning into her hands with such adoration. 

“Anya*, I’m sorry I took after him. I know it must hurt.” His voice cracked a touch, his own hands cupping hers before bring them to be held in her lap. (Anya = Mother)

Unfortunately, due to his mother’s family history, and age, she grew very ill and sadly passed away before Fender could return home. With this, he found a letter she never sent out, the final sentence saying, “Szeretlek*, my Fender. Szeretnélek újra látni.*” (Szeretlek = I Love You; Szeretnélek újra látni = I’d like to see you again.) He started to tear up, adopting the small nickname she had always called him as he grew. He was definitely a Momma’s Boy. He always was there for her when she needed someone, being her ‘Defender/Protector’. 

He always loved the name. No matter how much everyone made fun of it.

It was a stormy night, and thanks to a loud thunder now you're wide awake. Great just what you wanted! Now that you're awake at 3 AM you could just snuggle to your sleeping boyfriend. you reached out to his side you felt his side cold. Maybe he went to the kitchen to drink, so you decided to wait.

Minutes later you grew a little impatient so you went out of the room and saw that he was in the living room and he was sitting on the couch. "Fender?" He looked at you with widened eyes, he didn't hear you walking to the living room.

"Hi.. i didn't hear you walking around" you smiled at him while walking towards him, you sat next to him on the couch "is everything okay?" He nodded and gave you a weak smile "yeah i just couldn't sleep, but what about you why are you awake kedvesem?" You melted when he said that petname, almost forgotting he asked you a question.

"Didn't you hear that loud thunder? I'd be suprised if no one woke up to it." He chukled at the joke and he gently took your hands and you stood up from the couch with him "come on, let's go back to sleep" he said while walking back to your shared room.

Now you're in bed with him, he's spooning you from behind. " Good night, szeretlek." He whispered and you knew how to anserw to that one word. "Én is téged, Fender."

Notes:

Translating

Kedvesem - my dear

Szeretlek - i love you

When somebody says "szeretlek"

We respond with " én is téged" ( only if it's mutual love) and it basically means that we love them too

So- me as a hungarian- Im going crazy cause we having a rep in COD made me be just a little bit obsessed with Fender. And i was just wondering...that the math ain't mathing in his bio. I mean i can be stupid but here me out

So we kinda got his birth date, but i don't think the creators meant this like DECADES before 1989 right? I guess he was born soemwhere in the 80s.

BUT.

A revolutionary in Soviet Pest? Ma'am, that is true that Hungary was in fact under communist control but.....what revolution? Where? Our last revolution was in the 50s 💀

And so. Even if his parents (idk if his mother was too, or it just refers to his unknown father but) even if they were already alive by 56 they at least should have been teens. Or in their 20s cause the Pesti Srácok, the youth who fought againt the communist were aged mostly from 15 to 20-something. And if their parents were in their teens, young adulthood in the 50s then +30 years before having a child is massive.

Let's say they were 15 in 1956, and Fender was born in 1980 (which as i said is unlikely, why would they write a decade range for his birth) then by the time Fender was born they are 39. Which is not very ideal for a first child. Maybe if it was his father, but still. Mentioning the revolution in his bio that his parent(s) were/was a part of it is useless by this logic.
