You were struggling to get the hang of a certain device, it kept crackling and popping and you couldn't get signal and nothing was working.

Groaning your eyes landed on Jaws who the whole time was just watching you with an extremely unimpressed expression- letting you struggle and offering no help.

"Are you serious-? What am I supposed to do with this thing?"

Over time you learned you don't have to fear the man, even sometimes sassing him which earned an intense stare down. He doesn't really speak much either.

He let out a low sigh and came towards you which made you freeze up like a deer caught in headlights- this is it. This is how you die.

He snatched the small device from your hands and demonstrated how to use it- oh... Oh he's actually helping you?

"Like this, Rookie."

His voice is deep with a lot of gravel to it, low and rumbling like the oceans depths. Eyes boring into you as he handed it back.

"Thanks..."

"Just don't fuck it up again."

And he's back to normal.... Walking off leaving you to yourself.

••

You were trudging through the woods close behind Vortex, occasionally hitting your head on some tree limbs and shuffling through bushes.

"Right up here!"

He called out and next thing you knew you were stood beside him up on a cliff, the view was absolutely stunning. You could see for miles from up here, the trees and even a lake out in the distance.

He was right... This was worth it.

He seated himself near the edge and patted the spot beside him, urging you to rest as well and just listen to the sound of the breeze.

After a few moments the silence was broken.

"Do you know why I really brought you here?"

"No..."

He glanced over towards you while leaning back slightly, it was hard not to notice how the sun cast a beautiful glow along his skin, muscles flexing slightly as his palms flattened against the ground.

"Because I see how stressed you are all the time... Trust me- I get it but... You only live once. Sometimes we need to just get out and enjoy things."

Eyes settling back onto the horizon.

"It's easy to let it all wrap you up and bury you... But life can be beautiful too and you don't want to miss it. I could go at any moment- especially in this line of work so... I experience everything while I can."

You stared off into the distance listening to him as he spoke, he's not entirely wrong in the slightest. Life is beautiful...

Drowning in the pits of it all wasn't an option. He wanted to show you that you don't have to struggle all the time worrying about tomorrow. It's okay to let go.

He's so vibrant it's like drowning in sunshine whenever you're near him. He knows what it's like to struggle... It's okay. It will be okay.

He looked to you again and suddenly a burst of laughter from him startled you slightly.

"Sorry sorry.... It's just uh... You have a leaf in your hair."

He raised his hand and motioned towards your hair, making no moves to get any closer until he got your okay.

"May I?"

"Yeah..."

With your permission he shuffled over to you and began carefully untangling the leaf from your hair. He was so close now you could truly admire his face, the way his freckles decorated his skin like stars in the night sky.

There was even a small scar at the edge of his bottom lip you hadn't noticed before. Those green eyes of his were so- focused right now. He was trying really hard to not pull your hair.

Suddenly his gaze met yours rather than what he had been doing, seeming to acknowledge how close he was he moved back.

Flashing a bright smile he waved the leaf in front of your face in victory.

"Got it!!!"

"Thank you."

You couldn't help but chuckle a bit... Though... Why did you enjoy having him so close?

Why did you want him to be near you like that again?

••

Alone with Everest with the distant sound of gun fire, you could still feel the burn on your skin from nearly getting blasted by a grenade.

Your back pressed to the wall you sucked in a few deep breaths, keeping it steady and staying focused. It was muffled background noise hearing Everest trying desperately to call in to Vortex.

Please answer.

A soft sigh as you relaxed into him- it strangely didn't feel abnormal to be close to the giant of a man. He let out a low and soft hum and fidgeted with his radio.

Eyes glancing over you- your gaze lifted to meet his. It was incredible how a man so gentle and warm could be so dangerous.

His boots were stained crimson- you first hand got a view of him ruthlessly stomping a guy's face in. The weight and strength of him rendering the man to nothing... Unrecognizable crushed flesh.

Built like a mountain- sturdy and unmoving. Serene yet brutal. He can both be the one to shield you from all danger and the one who crushes any who test him beneath his feet.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Soft towards you though... Luring you into his warmth.

"I will be."

A quiet chuckle escaped you and he simply shook his head. Your thoughts traced back to Vortex and how you all had been separated earlier... Hopefully him, Grace and Jaws were okay.

'Life can be beautiful too.'

{Yes I'm forcing y'all to interact with Jaws as well. He will be your friend whether he likes it or not LMAO}

Alec 'Everest' Amanzi x F!Reader x Aiden 'Vortex' Dunbar

Rookie|Y/N

-

Warnings: Unrealistic, Fluff, OCs x Reader, Love Triangle, Bullying, Transphobia (Vortex is Trans)

-

You found yourself spending most of your time with Vortex and Everest, only occasionally interacting with the others that were around.

You quickly found that they were best friends, consistently sparring together, eating together and generally just hanging around one another. Today you were seated between them at the table, listening to Vortex ramble about a 'cool spot' he found.

"You have to come and see it!"

Everest hummed contentedly and shook his head.

"Last time I went to see something with you I had to hike for an hour through the woods. I'll pass."

"It's a great view though! You'll come with me later, right?"

It caught you by surprise when his gaze shifted to you instead, bright smile and pretty green eyes twinkling with hope. It made it really hard to say no... Maybe it'd be good to have a little adventure anyways.

"Fine but it better not be too far."

"It won't be and it'll be worth it! I promise!"

He sounded so chipper and sincere- shuffling slightly and Everest chuckled a bit.

"You two have fun. Don't go dragging her around though."

This lead to a bit of laughter from you as well, eyes flicking up to meet Everest's. So calm and gentle to the point it's easy to get lost in them, it's like his warmth could absorb you.

They were so different- one was a powerful whirlwind of energy that drags you out of your shell and bleeds into you with pure life. The other soothes you and allows your mind and everything to simply be at ease.

"Would you like to know how we first met?"

Everest offered a story- one of back when he first was introduced to Vortex.

"It was actually back when we were in highschool. After highschool we were separated for years and then as luck would have it- we both ended up here."

"Small world!"

Vortex chimed in.

-

Splash

Soda coated Everest's torso entirely and he stood there, sticky and dripping while the bullies simply laughed at him.

"The big freak won't even defend himself. What a coward."

His silence was loud- the laughter deafening as he took a step back and tried to simply walk away. Only for one of them to block his path.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Before Everest could respond the bully grabbed the back of his head and grunted in pain, a rock had been thrown at him.

"Fuck off chicken shit."

There stood a drastically short curly haired ginger who was quite filled with rage.

This of course did not set well and that's when the yelling between all of them started.

"You'll never be a guy- you realize that, right?!? You're a fucking freak-"

Before he could finish his sentence he was harshly flung to the ground, Everest standing over him now planting his boot firmly on his chest.

"Enough."

-

For some reason that story explains a lot about their dynamic. Smiling warmly at the two you finished eating and stood up.

"Got stuff to do... I'll see ya around."

"See ya."

"Bye!"

••

Slumping forward with a groan- you've been stressing over everything that needs to be done for hours. It was taking it's toll on your well being.

A soft knock forced you out of your head, dragging your body up from the chair to go answer it.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

Opening the door slowly you peered up to see Everest, standing there with a mug of coffee in his hand... He got that specifically for you?

"May I come in?"

"Yeah... Of course."

He stepped in and set the mug down for you, eyes drifting to your face and taking in how exhausted you looked.

"You've been at this awhile. Take a break."

"I can't-"

"If you don't you'll burn yourself out. It's okay... Get some rest."

His tone wasn't rough like how most would regard you, yet still it was clear and unmoving. He wasn't going to let this go- he needed you to be alright.

He had noticed that you were over working yourself, taken note of all the little changes in your behavior.

And he's not just going to stand by while you burn your candle at both ends.

"Okay..."

-

{Hope y'all love them as much as I do. You guys are in a love triangle with best friends oops. LMAO}

Saint: W-What?

Everest: You are getting a Christmas tree even if I have to be it. I will be beautiful. Light me up, Vortex.

Vortex, giddily plugging in the lights: Got it!

I'm already sick of Reader being called 'Rookie' in Everest and Vortex's story so y'all get to choose your call-sign.

Choose wisely because the call sign chosen will effect your dynamic with the others and will result in different scenes. One of these results in more angst. <3

[decaf-mother]

My OCS reactions if Reader (AKA Bug) asked them the "Would you still love me if I was a worm?" Question.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Everest, setting his book down: Of course. I'd take great care of you too and find a way to turn you back into a person.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Vortex, dropping whatever he was doing: Are you kidding??? Of course I would! In fact I'd get turned into a worm too just so we could be worms together!

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Jaws, trying to work: No. Now stop asking me stupid questions and focus.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Grace, tired and on her third cup of coffee: .... Dear, I have no earthly idea why you're asking me this but the answer is yes.

"Rookie Mistake"

-

Jaws & Everest

-

Warnings: Violence, Angst, Hurt + Rescue

-

He sucked in yet another breath as he trudged on, some form of metal jammed into his side and blood caking his clothes. Forcing himself to not think about it.

He surveyed the surrounding area, broken bodies littered the ground like nothing more than discarded tissues. The air hung heavy with smoke and the weight of what happened.

Slip, Everest and Viper.

He hadn't the faintest clue where any of them were and every attempt at contact had been met with an empty silence. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't worried.

Slip... She got her name for a reason. She can get out of anything- certainly...

Everest is strong and determined... Definitely no slow leak either.

Viper is talented and never strays- she's loyal too. She'll find a way.

Finally his radio crackled to life with a familiar smooth voice- Viper.

••

They had found his location. How? He didn't know exactly.

His wrists painfully bound and face bloodied from being hit, angered Russian murmurs floating around the room. Head tilting back he simply spat out some blood, rage swirling in those deep blues.

Then he felt his heart stop in his chest, the men left the room with heavy footsteps. His eyes settling on the ginger haired woman before him- dark alluring green eyes on his face.

A deceptively soft and almost pitying expression, a sigh escaping her lips and arms crossing over her chest.

"Viper... WHAT THE FUCK?!?"

No matter the pain he still found the ability to scream, voice broken and hoarse as he snatched at his restraints.

"Take it easy."

She replied coldly while stepping back from his struggling form.

"Slip... Everest... They fucking trusted you!!! I trusted you..."

"Rookie mistake."

Those words wormed their way into his brain, his movement stilled momentarily. It was a careless mistake to trust so blindly, wasn't it?

Just because she's on your team doesn't mean she can't back stab you. Doesn't mean she can't leave you to die in a trench.

Look out for yourself.

This whole time she's never actually had your back.

The pain became more distant as he struggled to even remotely remain grounded. The only thing keeping him from giving in was his thoughts drifting to his little sister.

••

Just as the cold stillness was crawling up his arms, he heard yells and screams. The door being practically knocked off it's hinges.

Everest.

The giant of a man was not in the best of shape himself, blood trickling down the side of his face. Hands busted all to hell and yet he was still standing, fighting and came to get Jaws out.

"Fuck... You shouldn't be here. You should have gotten yourself out-"

"No man left behind. Now come on. We're both making it out of this... You're getting home to Sarah, do you understand me?"

Jaws let out a strangled sigh as he was cut loose, lifted up piggyback onto Everest and toted out of there.

"Slip... Where...?"

"I don't know..."

Lost in it all the chances she was okay were slim. He couldn't help but hope she found a way out somehow.

One thing has stood true ever since the first time he worked with Everest, long before being where he is now...

Everest won't give up on you. Not until his or your dying breath. Hold on.

Warnings: Unrealistic, Fluff, OCs x Reader, Love Triangle

-

To say you were nervous would be an understatement- you were definitely qualified. You were here for a reason.

Yet that didn't quell the knots and churning in your stomach, the thought about 'what if I just don't fit in?' or 'What if they hate me?'... After all it wouldn't be the first time you've had some difficulties related to people.

Sucking in a deep breath you felt eyes on you, shifting you saw the ever so quiet 6'2 soldier known as Jaws glaring at you from across the room. Those stormy blue eyes of his pierced right through you, almost as though he would eat you whole (and not in the good way). He doesn't trust you.

There was a certain unease that this particular man created that made even hardened soldiers shudder. Pale skin with a light tan- deep scars from what looked to be near death experiences lined his face and dark brown nearly black hair cut to standard.

"Are you okay, Rookie?"

A calm and warm voice dragged you out of your trance, turning to face possibly the biggest man you've seen up close. The sheer size of him rivalled even fucking König.

Having to tilt your head back at an awkward angle to meet his eyes- his gaze much different from Jaws. Those eyes were a deep soothing hazel that spoke of a certain kindness lying beneath, his dark skin lined with little scars all the way up his thick arms, black hair cut in a vaguely messy way but short nonetheless. A small smile graced his face.

"Alec Amanzi but everybody calls me Everest."

"I can see why."

You blurted out without meaning too, a soft chuckle rumbling from him- at least he found it amusing. Perhaps you could get along with this guy.

Before you could say anything else an incredibly bubbly voice called out to Everest, causing him to turn his head and eye the 5'3 man quickly approaching.

That must be Vortex- right?

Your internal question was answered when Everest greeted him.

"Vortex."

"Here to see the Rookie!"

Vortex chimed out while holding out his hand to shake yours, you took note of how his pale skin was absolutely covered in freckles and he had bright natural ginger hair. Those light green eyes of his held so much life, glistening in the sunlight while he beamed.

"Nice to meet ya!!!"

You accepted his hand with a smile... Maybe being here wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Nice to meet you too... Both of you."

-

{This is just a quick introduction lol I hope y'all like it. I tried to describe the characters decently. I would also like to say I know nothing about the Military and I don't really care enough to learn so there's bound to be things that don't make sense. If you don't like that this will be unrealistic that's entirely fine but don't come at me.}

You were struggling to get the hang of a certain device, it kept crackling and popping and you couldn't get signal and nothing was working.

Groaning your eyes landed on Jaws who the whole time was just watching you with an extremely unimpressed expression- letting you struggle and offering no help.

"Are you serious-? What am I supposed to do with this thing?"

Over time you learned you don't have to fear the man, even sometimes sassing him which earned an intense stare down. He doesn't really speak much either.

He let out a low sigh and came towards you which made you freeze up like a deer caught in headlights- this is it. This is how you die.

He snatched the small device from your hands and demonstrated how to use it- oh... Oh he's actually helping you?

"Like this, Rookie."

His voice is deep with a lot of gravel to it, low and rumbling like the oceans depths. Eyes boring into you as he handed it back.

"Thanks..."

"Just don't fuck it up again."

And he's back to normal.... Walking off leaving you to yourself.

••

You were trudging through the woods close behind Vortex, occasionally hitting your head on some tree limbs and shuffling through bushes.

"Right up here!"

He called out and next thing you knew you were stood beside him up on a cliff, the view was absolutely stunning. You could see for miles from up here, the trees and even a lake out in the distance.

He was right... This was worth it.

He seated himself near the edge and patted the spot beside him, urging you to rest as well and just listen to the sound of the breeze.

After a few moments the silence was broken.

"Do you know why I really brought you here?"

"No..."

He glanced over towards you while leaning back slightly, it was hard not to notice how the sun cast a beautiful glow along his skin, muscles flexing slightly as his palms flattened against the ground.

"Because I see how stressed you are all the time... Trust me- I get it but... You only live once. Sometimes we need to just get out and enjoy things."

Eyes settling back onto the horizon.

"It's easy to let it all wrap you up and bury you... But life can be beautiful too and you don't want to miss it. I could go at any moment- especially in this line of work so... I experience everything while I can."

You stared off into the distance listening to him as he spoke, he's not entirely wrong in the slightest. Life is beautiful...

Drowning in the pits of it all wasn't an option. He wanted to show you that you don't have to struggle all the time worrying about tomorrow. It's okay to let go.

He's so vibrant it's like drowning in sunshine whenever you're near him. He knows what it's like to struggle... It's okay. It will be okay.

He looked to you again and suddenly a burst of laughter from him startled you slightly.

"Sorry sorry.... It's just uh... You have a leaf in your hair."

He raised his hand and motioned towards your hair, making no moves to get any closer until he got your okay.

"May I?"

"Yeah..."

With your permission he shuffled over to you and began carefully untangling the leaf from your hair. He was so close now you could truly admire his face, the way his freckles decorated his skin like stars in the night sky.

There was even a small scar at the edge of his bottom lip you hadn't noticed before. Those green eyes of his were so- focused right now. He was trying really hard to not pull your hair.

Suddenly his gaze met yours rather than what he had been doing, seeming to acknowledge how close he was he moved back.

Flashing a bright smile he waved the leaf in front of your face in victory.

"Got it!!!"

"Thank you."

You couldn't help but chuckle a bit... Though... Why did you enjoy having him so close?

Why did you want him to be near you like that again?

••

Alone with Everest with the distant sound of gun fire, you could still feel the burn on your skin from nearly getting blasted by a grenade.

Your back pressed to the wall you sucked in a few deep breaths, keeping it steady and staying focused. It was muffled background noise hearing Everest trying desperately to call in to Vortex.

Please answer.

A soft sigh as you relaxed into him- it strangely didn't feel abnormal to be close to the giant of a man. He let out a low and soft hum and fidgeted with his radio.

Eyes glancing over you- your gaze lifted to meet his. It was incredible how a man so gentle and warm could be so dangerous.

His boots were stained crimson- you first hand got a view of him ruthlessly stomping a guy's face in. The weight and strength of him rendering the man to nothing... Unrecognizable crushed flesh.

Built like a mountain- sturdy and unmoving. Serene yet brutal. He can both be the one to shield you from all danger and the one who crushes any who test him beneath his feet.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Soft towards you though... Luring you into his warmth.

"I will be."

A quiet chuckle escaped you and he simply shook his head. Your thoughts traced back to Vortex and how you all had been separated earlier... Hopefully him, Grace and Jaws were okay.

'Life can be beautiful too.'

I love how Everest doesn't hesitate and will do anything to turn u back into human.

Vortex, now that's real love there. ( bit too idealistic style" I will do anything to be with you " type of love )

Jaws.. awww. JAWS 🥺🤣 sigh. Cant blame him I guess 😅 his brain too busy think about work + his personality..

Grace， typical "Yes dear" 🤣

My OCS reactions if Reader (AKA Bug) asked them the "Would you still love me if I was a worm?" Question.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Everest, setting his book down: Of course. I'd take great care of you too and find a way to turn you back into a person.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Vortex, dropping whatever he was doing: Are you kidding??? Of course I would! In fact I'd get turned into a worm too just so we could be worms together!

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Jaws, trying to work: No. Now stop asking me stupid questions and focus.

-

Bug: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Grace, tired and on her third cup of coffee: .... Dear, I have no earthly idea why you're asking me this but the answer is yes.

Bug won!!!!

I'm already sick of Reader being called 'Rookie' in Everest and Vortex's story so y'all get to choose your call-sign.

Choose wisely because the call sign chosen will effect your dynamic with the others and will result in different scenes. One of these results in more angst. <3

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

He sucked in yet another breath as he trudged on, some form of metal jammed into his side and blood caking his clothes. Forcing himself to not think about it.

He surveyed the surrounding area, broken bodies littered the ground like nothing more than discarded tissues. The air hung heavy with smoke and the weight of what happened.

Slip, Everest and Viper.

He hadn't the faintest clue where any of them were and every attempt at contact had been met with an empty silence. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't worried.

Slip... She got her name for a reason. She can get out of anything- certainly...

Everest is strong and determined... Definitely no slow leak either.

Viper is talented and never strays- she's loyal too. She'll find a way.

Finally his radio crackled to life with a familiar smooth voice- Viper.

They had found his location. How? He didn't know exactly.

His wrists painfully bound and face bloodied from being hit, angered Russian murmurs floating around the room. Head tilting back he simply spat out some blood, rage swirling in those deep blues.

Then he felt his heart stop in his chest, the men left the room with heavy footsteps. His eyes settling on the ginger haired woman before him- dark alluring green eyes on his face.

A deceptively soft and almost pitying expression, a sigh escaping her lips and arms crossing over her chest.

"Viper... WHAT THE FUCK?!?"

No matter the pain he still found the ability to scream, voice broken and hoarse as he snatched at his restraints.

"Take it easy."

She replied coldly while stepping back from his struggling form.

"Slip... Everest... They fucking trusted you!!! I trusted you..."

"Rookie mistake."

Those words wormed their way into his brain, his movement stilled momentarily. It was a careless mistake to trust so blindly, wasn't it?

Just because she's on your team doesn't mean she can't back stab you. Doesn't mean she can't leave you to die in a trench.

Look out for yourself.

This whole time she's never actually had your back.

The pain became more distant as he struggled to even remotely remain grounded. The only thing keeping him from giving in was his thoughts drifting to his little sister.

••

Just as the cold stillness was crawling up his arms, he heard yells and screams. The door being practically knocked off it's hinges.

Everest.

The giant of a man was not in the best of shape himself, blood trickling down the side of his face. Hands busted all to hell and yet he was still standing, fighting and came to get Jaws out.

"Fuck... You shouldn't be here. You should have gotten yourself out-"

"No man left behind. Now come on. We're both making it out of this... You're getting home to Sarah, do you understand me?"

Jaws let out a strangled sigh as he was cut loose, lifted up piggyback onto Everest and toted out of there.

"Slip... Where...?"

"I don't know..."

Lost in it all the chances she was okay were slim. He couldn't help but hope she found a way out somehow.

One thing has stood true ever since the first time he worked with Everest, long before being where he is now...

Everest won't give up on you. Not until his or your dying breath. Hold on.
