Dead Man's Deed (Ghost x reader x Soap)

No.21 Simon Riley

You were paralyzed with fear when registering Grave's words. In your peripherals, Soap turned to you and started yelling something that you couldn't understand.

"Don't throw this away, Y/n. Eli wanted you to have this, and if you come back to me right now, I'll give this recording to you." Graves spoke through the comms to you, causing vivid memories of your time with Eli to flash through your mind.

~~Flashback~~

"You told Soap that Y/n is your real name?" Eli asked, causing you to smile and nod your head excitedly. "Huh, I suppose he also thought that Y/n fits you a little more than Elizabeth would." He laughed while you two sat across from each other on your bed, cleaning your weapons together.

"I can't wait for this whole thing to be done and over with. I don't know where I'll go or what I'll do whenever I leave, but I'm sure I can figure out something." You rambled on, looking to see that his green eyes were glued to you.

"What?" You laughed out. "Why are you looking at me like that?" In Eli's eyes was an expression you couldn't place your finger on as he suddenly leaned forward and brought his hand to the side of your face.

Your guns were still in your laps as he brought his lips to yours and kissed you tenderly. His dark hair glistened beneath the light since he'd taken a shower a few minutes prior, his scent thick with men's shampoo.

Eli's tattooed hand was calloused against your skin as he pulled away and stroked your cheek with his thumb. He breathed heavily on your lips before delving into a more passionate kiss with you.

"Fuck— I'm... so fucking in love with you, Y/n." He whispered with a slight laugh in his voice. He tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear as he just stared into your eyes that he'd grown to adore.

"Would you marry me if I asked you to right now?" He asked, and you bit your bottom lip as you smiled and looked at his lips. They were lightly chapped as they curled into a gentle smile from seeing your reaction.

"Depends... how nicely are you asking?" You questioned in a playful tone, and he pressed his thumb to your bottom lip. His black shirt was wet in some places from his hair dripping, and you let out a small laugh as he lowered his lips to your neck.

"Pretty please?" He replied, and you gave a small hum before holding both sides of his face and staring at him intently.

"Yeah... I think I will." You whispered back before kissing him tenderly while wrapping your arms around his neck.

~~Flashback End~~

You were quickly grabbed and pulled down by Soap as he helped you dodge a grenade that you hadn't even realized had been thrown. You shook your head to help rid yourself of the tears that threatened to fall.

"Don't listen to him, Y/n! Look at me, look at me!" He yelled as he held both sides of your face so that you'd be looking directly into his grey-hued irises.

"Nothing and nobody will ever hurt you, not on my watch. I need you to stay with me until this is completely won, do you understand?" He asked as his skull mask encased his face so that you couldn't see it.

You didn't say anything and merely gritted your teeth before grabbing one of the bombs from his belt. You let out a loud yell as you threw the bomb onto Graves' tank, watching the extensive damage it was causing.

You took your knife from its sheathe and began stabbing over and over again, not even stopping when you stared into the eyes of the Shadow Company members. You watched the light leave their eyes as you moved onto the next victim.
