dry humping where he’s on top of you and you can feel him against your core with every faux thrust and you’re both panting into each other’s mouths and it’s needier because you aren’t quite there he’s not actually inside you and you’re grabbing at his clothes and his hands are in your hair and he’s desperate and whining and

I looked at my mother because I was a version of my mother. I looked away from my mother because I was a version of my mother. I was me, but I was also her—my mother, and I understood this all too well.

Older!price and younger!reader who are pretty close or whatever, and its basically an open secret that ur sleeping together, okay?

And I mean, everyone knows. Its basically a given fact not to mess with u lest price get involved. No matter how attractive u are, the captain has a claim on you.

So when some rookie sees you and ghost standing chest to chest, having just kiss like you were trying to eat him in the tucked away alcove? Everyone knows. Well, mostly everyone. Knowledge of this little situation only reaches you once people start giving you dirty looks and whispering about loyalty like you wouldnt hear.

Its agony, bc all of the people you usually hang out with want nothing to do with you, and you cant figure it out. It gets to the point where ur running drills alongside price and people keep disobeying you or glaring that you finally snap. You grab one of the soldiers and pull her aside, demand to know whats going on.

"Youre not sly, yknow? Everyone knows about you and ghost." Is her response, which only makes you frown.

"Okay? And what of it? Hes a damn good man. If this is about his appearance or personality I swear-" you begin, ready to defend ghosts honor.

"No. Its because your cheating on captain price." The woman cuts you off, and just those few words has you jolting back like you've been slapped.

"EXCUSE ME??" Ur baffled and making a fucking scene, but who wouldnt in ur situation "you mean John price??? My uncle? That captian price??"

Turns out all those movie nights and lunches spent together culminated in literally the worst sentence anyone has ever said to you. Well. At least people learn to check their facts before starting rumors....
