Spartans [FINISHED]

(A/v) play the song when I tell you it will seriously make you explode. Maria don't kill me because I'm in love with a fictional character.

John's POV I pulled out my pistol and cocked it. Memphis was telling a doctor to evacuate. He nodded and ran down the hall after hitting the evacuation button on the wall.memphis cocked her pistol and aimed. "Sir, I know you're upset but you need to put the gun down." She was trying to be respectful, but I could tell she was trying really hard not to go off on this guy. Fred's supposed "dad" aimed at the ceiling and shot. It started to crumble and I looked at Memphis. "Shit!" She screamed. We shot and started running down the hall to the exit. Fred's dad was in front of us and he lit a fire. "I really hate this guy." I say to Memphis as we're running for our lives. We make it outside and someone's holding a woman back from running into the building. "My baby! He's still in there!" Oh for fuck sakes people! Keep track of your kids! "What floor." Memphis replies almost immediately. "Second. Please hurry." Memphis turned around and went back into the burning building. I turn around and followed her. We climbed to the second floor on a pile of what used to be the floor. It was getting hard to breathe with all the smoke. "Help!" My eyes darted to the side to a kid whose leg was stuck under a perfectly stacked pile of pieces of the ceiling. "118, over here!" I called and Memphis came running. She looked at a broken pipe then the pile of ceiling pieces. "You get the kid, I get the rubble." She said and I nodded. I grabbed the kids arm and Memphis lifted the piece of the ceiling just enough so that I could pull the kid out. "Can you run?" I asked letting go of him. "Yeah, names Connor, by the way." "John. Now let's get out of here." I held my hand out and Connor grabbed it and I helped him up. We ran over to where we climbed up and I looked at the flame then shook my head and jumped down. "Memphis, nice to meet you." She said jumping down landing in front of Connor. We started to run down the hallway. More of the ceiling fell and it got harder and harder to breathe. We made it close to the exit and Daryl was standing there telling people to calm down. "But three kids are still in there!" A man yelled. We ran out and Connor ran to his parents, me and Memphis were coughing and breathing hard. "What the fuck were you thinking not to call back up?!" He screamed and neither of us answered. Daryl sighed and looked at us. "But you did save everyone. Good job." He said saluting. We saluted back. "Now get your asses back to base. I'll be there in a minute." We started to walk away and Connor came running up. "Hey guys, wait up!" We stopped and turned around. "Yeah?" Memphis asked. "Thanks. That meant a lot." "No prob." I replied crossing my arms. He smiled and ran back to his parents.

Memphis's POV When we got back to base Daryl came in right after us. I looked over at training and I heard Rachel kicking something's ass. Johnson was watching and Daryl threw a shirt and jacket at John. "Thanks." Daryl didn't answer, John shrugged and went upstairs. I looked and saw Cortana. I waved and she waved back. I took my helmet off and my hair fell into place. It was braided so it would fit in my helmet without sticking out. I took the braid out and put the hair tie on my wrist. I walked up the stairs and the door was cracked open. I went to open it and come in but I saw John. He was taking his shirt off. He still had his helmet on but I turned around as quietly and quickly as possible. Play the song people. Then American boys started playing in my head. I smiled and Daryl saw my face and smiled. My eyes widened and I put my finger over my mouth. I ran down the stairs quietly. "You saw John with hi-" "Shut up!" "His shirt off and you liked what you saw." "Shut up!" I whisper yell. Daryl brought his voice down to a whisper. "You did like what you saw, didn't you?" I bit my lip and ran my fingers through my hair. "You did, I can tell." I blushed and looked down. "It's okay, I won't tell." He whispered in my ear. I smiled and gave him a quick hug. I heard something fall over and I bring out my knife. I look around and Johnson is picking up his phone. "At ease cadet! Something on your mind?" I sighed and put my knife away. I mean, I just saw John with his shirt off and he's probably the hottest guy on the planet, but I don't have anything on my mind that would make me jump like that. "No sir." Johnson rolls his eyes. "Alright." I look up the stairs and look through the crack. John's leaning up against the wall looking out the window.
