Task force 141 (y/n x Ghost+mw2-cod)

Better-half

I felt something against my shoulders and wrists as I came back around, the feelings becoming more prominent as I became more aware. I opened my eyes weakly wondering what was happening and my mind was immediately confused but happy when I saw what it was. Soap. His hands were gripping my shoulders tightly, shaking me lightly as he stared deeply with concern at my face. "Captain! She's back!" I heard him call out before he quickly lunged forward and locked me tightly in a bear hug, it hurt like hell to get touched but I didn't care since he was here. My wrists were still restrained behind my back but I could obviously feel someone trying to untie me. I tried turning my head back to see who it was but the large hand of the person pressed against the back of my head, stopping me from turning anymore which in hindsight was probably a smart idea as I had know there was already damage to the base of my skull and top of my spine so I'd probably end up hurting myself more by turning. "Hey, keep your head still.. Captains got your back" I heard Price's voice say lowly yet comfortingly from behind me, it felt so nice to know that my team was finally here for me.

Once he untied my both him and Soap put my arms around their shoulders and began to carry me back to the helicopter, when I suddenly put my foot down to stop them from carrying me any further. "Where's Simon..?" I asked quietly, my voice still not back fully but it was getting there. "Him and Alejandro are gone to kill Graves, they'll meet us back at the helicopter don't worry." Soap said reassuringly and I could feel his hand move to mine for extra reassurance, I nodded hesitantly and they continued to get me to the helicopter. The air outside was cold and felt like it was singeing my skin around my wounds, causing my body all over to string.

We eventually made it to the helicopter, dodging a few bullets in the process. I looked up and saw Rudy standing outside the helicopter on edge but once out gazes met he quickly rushed over to make sure I was ok, I wasn't , but it was the thought that counted I suppose. Rudy and Price disappeared back into the helicopter and Soap picked me up fully to carry me in, I could feel in the way he was holding me that he was trying his absolute best not to hurt me. I rested into his grasp as he carried me, his strength and kindness comforting. Once he had me in and sitting on a chair next to him Rudy brought over a thermal blanket and wrapped it around me before giving me a small hug and disappearing again. He was definitely the quietest out of the team but he still was gentle which was always admirable. Soaps arm gently wrapped around my shoulders and held me close as if he never wanted to let go of me again, he quickly tucked me in under his shoulder as we quietly and patiently waited for the return of Alejandro and Simon.

A few minutes passed and my worry began to grow but was instantly resolved when him and Alejandro jumped through the door, two sets of dog tags and a knife in his hands, his mask covered in blood shed. He was breathing heavily as he glanced around the helicopter but when his gaze met mine it felt like my whole world was paused and the only thing I could see or hear was him, all the speaking and people around me blocked out as both him and we just froze getting lost in eachothers eyes. He was first to break out of this lock as he quickly ran over and picked me up, clutching me in his arms while I felt his hands tremble as his fingers ran through my hair. His head was resting firmly on my shoulder as he continued to clutch me. "Fuck sake I thought you died.. don't ever go away again, I need you.. your my better-half..." he mumbled quietly through heavy breaths as he pressed me tighter into his grip, his voice shaky and tired sounding. My heart couldn't help but ache as it heard his words. I had never been compared like that ever before, maybe because I had never meant that much to someone.. or at least until now. "I'm sorry..." were the only words I could respond with, my voice was almost silent but he could still hear it because I felt his grip tighten.

He eventually loosened his hold on me and pulled back before gazing deeply into my eyes. His dark eyes feeling like a deep ocean that I was slowly getting drowned beneath its waves and his presence was the one thing keeping my head above water. His hand slowly moved up between us, clutching two things. My gaze lowered to see what they were. "You might want these back" he said softly, in his hand was my dog tags and his pocket knife that he had given me before my disappearance. My hand slowly moved to his and picked up my dog tags, clutching them tightly in my hand as I noticed that one of the two tags on it wasn't mine which prompted me to look at it. It was his. "this way I can always be with you.." he said as his hand moved back up to mine, pushing down on my fingers to closer my hand around the one of his tags. This simple act made me want to do anything to be with him, anything... I couldn't help myself from hugging him again, my arms and the rest of my body hurt so much but still somehow the only thing that mattered in my mind right now was him.
