Resident Evil Oneshots

{Jake Muller x Reader} - Look After

Movie/Game : N/A
-----------------------

Would you say you were the best at what you did? No, your ego was big yes, but your skill level not so much you would say. There were so many other people with a better skill set than you, you could easily say a few but Jake stood out instantly in your mind as someone badass. He has saved and covered for you so many times it was really ridiculous while you were on the clock. You could never really thank him ever, never could you make it up to him everything that he has done for you. Some times you wished you could, but the more you felt you achieved saving him a tiny bit you were already knocked down with a couple other times of him helping you out. He never admitted it though which was what made you laugh, he never actually said he helps you and shakes it off as if it's nothing. Ignoring it when you tell him you'll make it up to him some day even though you are far from it over all. But that smirk he would always have after you telling him how he saved your ass multiple times will always be stuck in your head as he would deny it. Making up excuses for helping you in many ways or denying it ever happening. Even when you told him in a argument you had that you could take care of yourself you wanted to take it back, especially right now.

After hours and hours of being on the run you were finally back at base at going on 3 in the morning. Your kill went horribly wrong that you were sent on, being it was the bosses fault that you got caught after the kill was done. He wasn't correct on the amount of security being there, the cameras, or the guard dogs around front. Throwing you off guard when the alarm went off in the home and guards came through the doors. Being chased down streets, alleys you name it you either ran, drove, or skated through it to try and make a get away and finally give them the slip. Taking enemy fire along with you through your arm when you weren't expecting it. But finally after a long night you were back and in your room. Your safe place you wished you had been in sooner. Yet the whole time you were on the run you couldn't help but think of him, thinking of Jake helping you and taking you to safety. You wished he was there, you wished he would have helped you. Yet you had to run your stupid mouth, saying you could take care of yourself and were fine on your own. 

Flashback ------------

"Jake I'm fine on my own, you don't need to worry about me like one wrong move and I end up dead out there. I'm not some baby when we are doing the same job risking our lives for cash out there every day" You started to get aggervated, not sure why he didn't want you going out on a mission on your own when you could handle yourself. You were fine, so you had a few slip ups here and there. Jake saving your ass when you need him and making sure you don't end up in the same place. But you needed some independence and him following you around and protecting you wasn't going to get you there. You wanted to show him what you could do. That you could fight for yourself and that you could take care of yourself just fine. Why did he even care anyway, you knew with how irritated you were all you could see was that it was ridiculous but really you knew he just cared about you. 

You both have always cared for each other through your jobs, trying not to let your feelings interrupt your work. He had your back and you had his, you would care for him when he was hurt and he would do the same. It was always a constant pattern and you knew you could count on him for anything really. To be honest you don't even know why you were arguing with him in the first place. Being that it was a useless argument in the first place you felt.

"That's the whole point of me worrying, you know how many times I've had to save your ass from something or someone out there. You can't take care of yourself and risk your life for pointless shit" He replied with a snarl, his arms crossed to try and hide his anger.

"Well then stop trying if it's so inconvienent to you, leave me in my own messes and you stick to yours. Not everyone is as great as you Jake you know that. People fuck up, I fuck up and i'll fix it if it comes down to it. I'm going on that mission I was assigned to whether you like it or not Jake. I have to fend for myself some time" You replied, raising your voice slightly. You could tell you were making him even more irritated as you continued to talk. With a shake of your head you zipped your lips. Noticing the look of shock on his face that you started to walk away from him with an aura of guilt surrounding you.
