Heart of the war. [Smii7y x Reader]

Thirty Five

"You Alright there, Soldier?" John asked Puffer who seemed to jolt awake in his arms.

"Youve been twisting the entire ride, and now youre sweating on me." John giggled, patting him on the shoulder while pushing him to sit up.

"Anyway, your team bought you back. Take the parachute and skedaddle." He smiled, Puffer Smiled back.

"Alright. Thanks for the hospitality." He half thanked Price, fitting on the parachute pack on his back, sky diving out the chopper.

Puffer aimed at the house he was told to go, barely remembering its location. Since the heli dropped him right at the buy, he had to scan the area quickly.

His eyes picked up a full team of 6 approaching the buy station.

"Theres a full team On the buy, im divong to you guys. Im still pretty high up." Puffer spoke monotonely over the intercom.

"PUFFER!" two voiced shot back in happiness over the earpiece, making him flinch in surprise.

Soon enough, Puffer landed down in the forest, creeping up on the small hut they were talking about.

"PUFFER!" Y/N and Smii7y Ran up, full sprint, full speed, at the poor guy and tackled him on the ground in a hug. Tears streamed down Smii7ys, Y/Ns and Puffers face.

"Guys..Matt," Puffer coughed, wiping his nose.

"Grizzy..." Puffer recalled the gorey situation that he had to witness. The guilt on Matts face-- how he couldnt help, and how grizzy died smiling.

"Puffer.." Y/N placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Theyre dead! Im so sorry!" Puffer fell flat on his knees, choking on his words.

"...we know.." Smii7y said reluctantly.

"We could hear everything over the earpiece..and it made sense when you were the only option to buy.." Y/N sniffed, rubbing circles on puffers back while he cried in her arms.

Smii7y joined the sob party on the grass, holding puffer aswell.

"And its all my fault! If i hadnt hesitated! Maybe John wouldnt h-"

"John..? John- John price?" Y/Ns voice faltered. Her heart sank. The captain? No way..right..?

"Y-Yes.." puffer stumbled on his words again.

Smii7ys hands balled into fists, as he felt his own blood boil. His teeth grit, his brows furrowed.

"The captain..killed Matt and Griz." A vein popped in smii7ys forehead, but was covered by the ski mask.

"When we woke up in the infirmary after the ambush..he wanted to know Y/Ns position. And he said..he..he said something alarming." Puffer spoke monotonously when calmed down.

"..alarming like what..?" Smii7y asked.

"Like..'that woman will be mine.'"
