Can't have one without the other || König x Reader x Ghost ||

Jealousy • Mature • Slowburn • Enemies to lovers • R18

As Price is forced to make a tough call to bring in someone he had promised an old friend of his to protect, a mission that holds the weight of countless lives, needs the involvement of both KorTac and the mysterious red haired woman who had previously been in an elite trained military team that had supposedly disbanded and vanished.Ghost is against the idea but something draws him to her, whereas König wants to know more, what unravels nobody could've expected.

Sugar: Pt.4 ||

Morning approached all too quickly, Red scnurched her face at the rude awakening of her alarm clock that was sat across the room, it was a routine she'd always set for herself when she joined the army early on for one thing, it made her get out of bed and stand up.

6:30am.

"Jesus Christ." She groaned to herself as she violently flung the bedsheet from her body and quickly got herself up to switch the alarm off, peering around the room her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit space around her.

It didn't take her too long to throw on some of her basic training outfit and gather her gear for the day before exiting the room, deciding to quickly stop by the reck room to make some breakfast and a coffee as she walked down the hallway her mind soon trailed off to yesterday's introduction to the team, especially to Ghost, Soap and König in particular, her body was already feeling tense about the upcoming training session with Ghost.

She rolled her eyes at her own thoughts and decided to put it to the back of her mind as she turned a corner and entered the doorway leading into the Reck Room, the air was strife with the smell of coffee and food.

Standing by the kettle was the towered over form of none other than Ghost, no-one else was around which to Red caught her off guard she noticed how Soap almost stuck by his side like glue but then again, they are all preparing for this mission, everyone needs their downtime.

Ghost had gone to detailed lengths to make his coffee, a specific brand, followed by his personal cup which of course was a white cup with a black skull face on it.

He was completely unaware of her presence in the same room, for a moment she second guessed about approaching him but her mind told her otherwise, she needed to diffuse the situation before it spiraled into something else.

She had to swollow her pride.

Just fuckin say sorry to him.

So plucking up the courage she continued to walk into the room and spoke aloud.

"Got any left for another one." She spoke in the gentlelist tone possible.

Ghost lifted his head, his eyes broke contact from placing the kettle on boil and set his eyes on the woman instead.

"If I did have another one, why should I give it to you." He responded bitterly but not with a raised tone, he sounded exhausted.

Red furrowed her brows at his words but brushed them off all the same as she stood at the oppositw side of him, she knew he had enough.

"I'm sorry for how I spoke to you." She gestured with her hand. "This is also very strange to me too, so I get the distrust." She broke eye contact with him for a second looking around the kitchen counter top for a spare cup before moving her eyes up to start looking through the cabinets.

Ghost continued to watch her, he picked up the tone in her voice, the way her face slightly changed expressions as she apologized to him.

He needed to hear that.

No.

He wanted to hear that,

Deep down he was sorry too, but he was too stubborn to admit that right now.

"Would you like me to make you a coffee?" He responded calmly.

"That would be great, thank you." She stood up on her toes to grab a single peach coloured cup before placing it down beside his.

She'd gone to sit down on the nearby breakfast bar, there was a momentary pause of silence until the kettle had finished boiling, filling the air around Ghost with hot steam.

"What happened." Ghost's thick accent cut through the silence, there was no emotion in his tone, but it was softer than a few moments ago.

"With your team." He glanced over his shoulder after he'd finished pouring the coffee into the cup.

"Oh we're gonna talk about that right now." Red sat up feeling an unsettled ease run all the way up her spine and into her shoulders the moment she caught his gaze and his question.

"Right now, Red." Ghost stubbornly responded, finishing making both coffees he brought them over to the table and dragged one of the bar stools to the opposite side, facing her directly.

"Right." She swallowed thickly and placed a hand under her chin. "Where the hell do I even start." She mumbled to herself as she studied the table for a second, lost in her own thoughts of the past.

"Why do you even wanna know." She questioned him.

"So I know you ain't gonna stab me in the fuckin back when I need you Sargent."

"I have plenty of time, I ain't moving until you've told me."

Stubborn bastard.

Red huffed in annoyance finally giving in to his demands, "they all died." She deadpanned and looked him dead in the eyes, watching for any sign of emotion as he slightly leaned forward.

"Alot of people die that's part of the job."

"Yeah but not the entire fucking team."

"You gonna tell me how that all played out."

Red choose her next words carefully as once again she broke eye contact with the towering force starring directly at her, it was an extremely tough subject to talk to, but then again she was talking to Ghost, which is like being thrown in at the deep end of the pool and wishing for the best.

"It was my team.." She smacked her hand down on the table as she shook her head at herself, a pained look set in on her delicate face.

"My fuckin fault." She side eyed him.

"A mistake like--but still." She spoke through broken words.

"Mistakes happen." Ghost couldn't help but study the woman, her words where almost a mirror of his own past.

"Just like you I was place in charge of a team, I thought I could handle it..fucksake they where like family to me." She swept her hand along the table before tightly clenching it into a fist as her jaw tightened. "I just--." She bit her lip as her mind was filled with memories she would've rather forget. "I made a wrong move and everyone paid for it including me."

"Captured, Tortured and used as a lure to bring the rest of my team out from the fuckin woods."

Her tone raised as she continued to shake her head at her own disappointment with herself.

What Ghost wasn't telling her is that he'd gone through her files after their heated exchange, he wanted to know full details about who he was working with, who Price was bringing into 141.

Just trusting his word wasn't enough on this one,

but hearing it from Red in person, showed him she could be trusted, in a way knowing what he knew now, he was more pissed at Price for bringing her back into a situation that was probably more difficult for her to deal with than she or anyone else realised, simply putting it, he'd been in her position one time too many.

He studied her, each slight emotion in her pale blue eyes, each time her jaw clenched and tensed up, each reaction, her shortness in breath, the way she stopped herself from getting overwhelmed.

Red had to stop herself from the memories, from the pain, she buried it a long time ago.

"But I can't let it effect me, not now.." she grabbed the coffee cup in her hand, swirling the liquid.

"Not when you guys need me for this, we are a team." She pursed her lips together giving the lieutenant a smile, before bringing the cup to her lips and taking a sip.

"Glad to hear it." Ghost grabbed his own cup in his hand and excused himself from the table, but not before saying one last thing to the woman. "I expect to see you at training Sargent, no excuses."

Red lifted her cup in response, "I'll be there." She watched as he turned away to walk out and into the hallway. "thanks for the coffee! It's really good." She yelled, her voice echoed down the hallway.

No problem, love.
