Chapter 38 - Upheaval

"se un poco de español.." (I know a little bit of Spanish..) You nod along as you answer another of Vaqueros' questions, "pero no tanto." (but not that much.) You shake your head as your fingers moves around under his eyes to apply the black paint.

He only nodded as he closed his eyes. 

"Alright, there you go." You slightly pat his cheek and let him open his eyes. He looks back at you with a smile, then thanks you before joining in with the rest of his team. 

You look down to grab some more paint in your finger, but when you look up, you freeze in your movement. Not expecting one of them to be in front of you now. 

You want to say something, but you decided against it and just bit your inner cheek before you gestured for him to get closer. He quietly did as told and closed his eyes. 

You tried your best to do it as fast as possible because you really had no energy to think about something else. You just want all of this to get done.

Roach, who the whole time was just sitting beside you, was oblivious to his surroundings and way too occupied reading your journal. 

He suddenly said, "Hey, (Y/N)," You hummed at him as you kept doing your job. "I didn't know you saw Soap this high. Looking at the situation right now, bet I could be a better brother for you than him." You paused your movement at his words as you tried to nudge him with your leg to make him stop. 

But he doesn't take the hint and keeps going, "He doesn't even trust you. Lemme be your brother you want so badly. I'll treat youー"

"Gary!"

"What!?" He looks up to meet your eyes as you are already looking at him, and then you signal him with your eyes to look at who is in front of you.

When he does, he only raises his eyebrow as he nods. "Oh, I didn't know you're there, mate. Sorry. Forget what I said." Roach only shrugged, then looked down to continue reading in silence. 

You mentally face palm at his ignorance. You look back at Soap, who is now staring at you. He cast a quick glance to Roach before he gazed back at you. 

You couldn't tell only from his eyes what he's currently thinking. His overall expression is nothing. You internally remind yourself not to get distracted and get the job done. 

"Close your eyes; I'm almost done." You tell Soap as you resume your task in hand. He did as told and got closer to your reach.

You apply some more in the corner of his eyes, trying to be careful when you do so. 

"Alright, you good." You quickly look away and look at his back; seeing no one else, you look down and begin to close the black paint. 

But his figure doesn't move from his place. He stayed there in front of you, which made you pray to whatever God was up there to make him move away from you. It's not like you don't understand how he feels right now about you, but you really didn't have any energy to face that now. 

You just want to get out of Las Almas and at least be away from Alejandro and Rodolfo first. After all, those two feelings are the most important to you now. And you don't want to see how their eyes change when they look at you. No longer held that warmth you love the most. The one that you can call home after you're losing your home back then.

Regardless, you're losing it... again. 

You finally gather yourself as you let out a sigh and look up at Soap. "You need something?"

His blue ocean eyes never failed to cage you in. "I--" When he finally wants to say it, someone cuts him off. 

"Chamber! Come here. We need your word." It was Price who called you across the room. You look back at him as you wave your hand, signalling that you're going there.
