Ménage à trois | Ghost x König x FemReader

Chapter 6

The awkward air was so thick you could almost see it. Everyone just looking at eachother in between looking at the floor. Even Alejandro was quiet, no music was playing. You could just hear the sound of the road under the tires.

Ghost finished patching up my cut in the meantime before I got stitches. He gave my leg a gentle squeeze before he readjusted himself to sit beside me.

I couldn't help but just stare at Gaz. He used to snipe before yet he couldn't keep track of us in a three story building with all the windows kicked out? There were only three people he was supposed to watch, and he couldn't even do that. Not even in terms of sniping, he would've had to do the same thing if he was just aiming using his hand gun for god sake. Could he even fucking shoot if he can't keep track of his aim?

I was beyond pissed. But more towards Keegan. Sure, Gaz could've gotten us killed, but I think Keegan already almost got me there himself and he wasn't even on look out. Fuckin distracting me from my job, coming onto me again after what happened the last time. This dude was so conceited that he still thought, after all my no's and rejections, that I still wanted him. That I even wanted him in the first place. I have never seen this much unprofessionalism in one group before. Soap, Alejandro, Ghost, and Price seemed to know how to work, but Keegan was a sly perv and Gaz seemed to be a subtle moron.

I break my stare at Gaz to look at Ghost who was also looking at Gaz, who was just staring at the floor, probably trying to avoid eye contact with us and the rest of the group.

Ghost must've seen my glance from the corner of his eye because he turned his head to look down to me. I give him a reassuring smile, trying to tell him to let it go for now. I would've given his knee a squeeze but I didn't want this van's atmosphere to get worse.

______________

It was an hour of deafening silence sitting in the back of a hot van, until we finally made it back to base. Ghost was closest to the door, so he opens it to let me out and walks out with me.

We all walk into our living quarters in the base, while I start to walk to the other side to get to leave to the rest of the building, since I wanted to get these stitches out of the way.

Everyone stops in the living room and starts taking off all their gear, except Gaz who just goes to his room, and Ghost who seems to walk past his room to follow me.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

"I'm taking you to get stitches." He responds.

"That's where I was already going. I can go by myself it's fine."

"No. Not until Keegan comes back and I know where he is." He tells me.

I don't say anything, just continue walking, as I know no matter what you tell Ghost, he'll still go his own way. Although it was nice to know he's looking out for me, making sure that he knows that Keegan isn't near me.

We enter the nurse's station that the base offered, and Ghost hovers around me while I get taken to be sewn up. It was nice that I didn't have to wait hours to see someone like a real hospital, they just took me right in.

I get sat on a bed while the nurse starts to stitch me up. It hurt like a bitch. Not only had the adrenaline completely worn off now, but everytime I swallowed, the muscles in my would throat contract and more pain would come.

I look over to Ghost who was standing off to the side, who was giving me a look of concern. Knowing how much this hurt, he asked "can't you give her pain meds?"

"I have someone getting her some." As she turns to talk to me, "you'll be put on some oxy okay? Just a little bit to help you with the pain." She continues, "you're going to have to try to not do any straining movements with your neck for the next week. You can still work in the field, but you have to be mindful of your stitches. They'll come out in seven days." She finishes as she starts cleaning, letting me wait for the other nurse to bring my pain meds.
