The Ghost and Spider (Ghost x fem reader)

Convicing

Soap decided to talk the whole way to the table, I honestly wasn't fully paying attention, something about Ghost but I could care less. After we reached our destination, he finally stopped talking before he said one last thing.

"You can sit with us if you want." patting my shoulder twice, he pointed to a table with Gaz and Ghost sitting at it. I gave him a nod and got my dinner, I was going to regret sitting with them by the way Ghost's eyes were burring into the back of my skull.

Walking to the table they all stared at me, I'm starting to get uncomfortable but I won't let it show. Confidently walking up I see Soap and Gaz talking, I decide to sit next to Soap and Gaz. No way in hell was I sitting next to a skull-masked man that looked like he would kill me for accidentally chewing loudly. Sitting down, the conversation between Gaz and Soap continues and I start eating whatever food I decided to grab, lost in thought I feel eyes on me but not just one pair either. Paranoid, I look up to realize all three are just staring at me. Gaz and Soap stopped talking and Ghost didn't even have a plate in front of him, he was simply just sitting in the chair listening to the conversation, well now staring at me too. I shrug trying to communicate that i'm so completely lost on what they're looking at, maybe i have something on my face?

"What?" confusion laced in my voice I started to wipe my face with my sleeve.

"Lass, slow down the foods not going anywhere." Soap laughs, gesturing to my plate almost empty. Gaz looks shocked while Ghost is still staring, judging, picking me apart without a word.

l sat there completely unaware of how fast I was eating, back at my old base we didn't have much time to really do anything, always planning for new missions and training. I picked up my plate, losing my appetite and quickly apologizing before getting up. Before I could get far Gaz spoke up,

"Spider wait, where are you going? no need to apologize we get it." He almost said panicked.

"It's fine really, I should let you guys be anyway." I was in no shape or form comfortable with Ghost around, not really Soap or Gaz. My walls were down as I ate and I didn't like that, I didn't want them seeing me embarrassed, confused and shy.

"Sit down solider." Ghost spoke, the first sentence i've heard from him since I got here.

"Yeah Spider I wanna know more about you." Soap said after Ghost seeing I was hesitant. I'm hoping they aren't too personal or I wouldn't answer any at all.

Third Person pov
Spider finally sat down interested in what questions Soap have to offer, she guessed Gaz had some too the way he scooted his chair and leaned in after she sat down. Soap waisted no time getting to the questions wanting to know answers.

"Are all the stories true? I've heard 'bout you even before Price looked into your skills."

"I can't answer that" She calmly responded, not shocked there were some going around but knew they were about failed mission and didn't want to respond or go further.

"Okay then, what's your favorite drink?" He instead asked a less personal question after his last.

"Bourbon is my go to but I don't mind tequila."

"Lass we need to get you out to this bar party we're having Friday, it'll be fun I promise."

"I'll have to sleep on that one Soap" she gave a slight laugh a little unprepared for that question or rather a request coming out of his mouth.

Soap went on trying to convince Spider in that moment to say yes, it was after all a Thursday afternoon and he wanted to know. The excitement in his voice made her want to say yes, but again as she had said she wanted to think about it first. After about 10 minutes Spider called it a night nodding to Soap and Gaz before leaving. She had no reason to acknowledge the other lieutenant's presence as he had not acknowledged hers one bit besides telling her to sit down, and not in a friendly tone she noted.

Spider decided to go straight to her bed after entering her room, she didn't let Soap win but he secretly had. She did want to go to that bar tomorrow and bond with the new team, who knows even get wasted and lose all the stress she's had since she got there for one night. She slowly drifted asleep hoping there were no nightmares to follow.
