Keegan hated that he had a crush on you. Hated it. Because he couldn’t have you. He was a broody sniper, high body count and would kill before asking questions.

He was wanted and feared by soldiers across the world and not even the federation liked to get in his way.

So he knew he couldn’t have you because Elias would never allow it. You’re Elias’s son after all. His baby. And the fact you weren’t even in the Ghosts was worse.

Keegan tried to see you in Hesh or Logan, your brothers, but he couldn’t. He longed for you. Deeply. Because he did believe in soulmates and he wondered if you were his and he’d never get to find out.

So when Elias dragged you onto base for protection over the holidays, it was torture. He actively avoided you until you approached him and asked for a tattoo. He was known on the base for doing tattoos so he got it all set up for you and took his time.

It wasn’t until it was time for the tattoo that he realised you were anxious around him. You blushed when he looked at you and struggled to form words. You had a crush on him.

He bit the bullet and asked you out after the tattoo and was wondering if Elias would skin him alive when you said yes. He took you on multiple dates before anyone noticed.

“I’m not happy about this. You two went behind my back.” Elias grumbled for the millionth time as he found you two in the kitchen.
