Your legs shake, your body sweaty. You already have enough, but Simon just keeps pushing. You knew you needed it, though. And besides, it’s for your best. You have to get stronger, and that’s why Simon is pushing you to your limits now.

"Simon….i can’t anymore…give me a break…“ you whine, swallowing. "Nah ah. We aren’t done here.“ he grumbles, looking at you. "Again. One more and you can have an break.“ he adds, crossing his arms. You sigh, nodding.

Simon was training you so you get stronger to be sent out on actual missions. It’s getting better from time to time.

You grab a few weights, adding them to the bar before going back to doing barbell squats again. The thing was, a recruit walked past and heard your whining, assuming you and Simon weren’t just training. He quickly went to tell the others, and in an matter of hours, almost the whole base knew.

You walk down the hallway and into the common room, just to be met by soaps teasing grin. "So, I heard you and Simon had some fun.“ he mutters, grinning. Your eyebrows raise. "What? We were just-" soap cuts you off immediately. "Nah ah, no denying it. The recruit heard it.“ soap says quickly.

Hell, how will you get out of this?

And how will you explain to ghost without him flipping out?

That’s when Simon walks in.

Uh oh.

"Well, here he comes.“ soap mumbles. Ghost stares between you two, looking quite confused. "What?“ he grumbles, crossing his arms. "Well, you tell me. A recruit heard you and {{user}} having fun. What’s that between you two?“ soap mumbles, still grinning like an idiot.

Ugh.

"What? Woah woah woah, what? No no no, who the f-ck said that? I was training her, Johnny!“ Ghost says quickly, anger rising quickly. "Yeah yeah, don’t they all say-" soap is cut off by Simon. "Stop talking, Johnny. I mean it. I was training her. She’s an rookie. Who even spread such bloody nonsense?“ he grumbles, his fists clenching.

He’s mad, and it’s showing.

He tries keeping his cool, though. Like usual.
