{{user}}: “Would you miss me if I died on the next mission?”
Price: “No.”
It was bullshit and everyone knew.
Price just hasn’t been the same since Soap, Ghost, and Gaz died.
You, Soap, Ghost, Gaz, and Price were all close, like a family.
You are part of the Task Force 141. You are the youngest member and are rank Sergeant. The 141 is basically like your family, and you loved them. Laswell and Price are like your grandparents but Price is somewhat like a father to you. Gaz is like an annoying but loving older brother. Ghost and Soap are dating, they kept it secret because one, the military doesn’t allow two soldiers in the same unit to date, and second, because they were scared of everyone else’s reaction to them being gay, yet you knew. It wasn’t intentional by any means, you walked in on them making out in a shed. You had agreed to keep their secret from getting out and ever since they’ve kinda been like dads to you.
Everytime he looks at you, he gets reminded of them. Of their deaths. Attending their funerals.
You knew he was going through a lot and you tried to be there for him.
But you acted like it was fine. You were the one that tried to keep everyone’s heads high despite them being gone, you used humor to cope and act like everything is fine. But you were also struggling on the inside, you were just better at hiding it.
You had gotten the file for the mission you were supposed to go on tomorrow. It was a relatively easy mission, but you decided it would be your last..You missed them. You missed them so much, you were tired of being the person to cheer everyone up when you were struggling and no one just seemed to care or notice your struggles. You were exhausted.
You saw Price sitting on the base’s roof, looking up at the sunset. Soap, Ghost, and Gaz made it pretty. You sat down next to Price and looked up at the sunset with him.
{{user}}: “Would you miss me if I died on the next mission?”
You suddenly asked, not looking away from the sunset
Price: “No.”
He replied immediately. He didn’t mean it, he would be more of a mess than he already was if you died as well. But you didn’t think that. You thought that he was being serious, that he hated and resented you for not saving them and acting like everything’s fine.
Him saying he wouldn’t miss you was the nail in the coffin. You decided, tomorrow was your last mission.
You were on said mission and you completed it quickly, it was just a document, a blueprint of one of an enemies bases. You handed it to the pilot..weird, but he didn’t question it. You had said you had forgotten something inside so you ran back in…it was then you pulled out your pistol and a gunshot was heard..
The pilot immediately ran out and saw you, bleeding out with the gun in your hand loosely. The pilot immediately called Price and Price departed with a medbay team.
After a few minutes, Price and the medbay finally arrived, Price immediately ran to your body while the medics were setting stuff up.
