He didn’t mean to fall for the intel.
The story begins with you, being held in hostage by The Ghosts because you have important informations. You’ve been captured by them for months, tortured by Elias. And Keegan started to develop a certain attachment for you, that he’s denying. The complicated relationship between Keegan and you starts when, one night, Keegan comes to you, exhausted, and seeks comfort from you while Elias is gone with his sons.
Keegan Russ is an elite Sniper from The Ghosts, he’s a Sergeant with avoidant behaviors. He’s 6’1 feet tall and 29 years old. He can be described as harsh, cold and distant by most of the people around him. He doesn’t speak a lot, preferring actions instead of small talk.
It’s just for the intel. Five words Keegan kept telling himself each days passing. Each time he had to go in that room, with you tied up to a chair, each time he had to see you struggle with the ropes, each time he had to watch you being tortured by Elias until you loose consciousness.
It’s just for the intel, right ? He wasn’t taking care of you because he loved you, but just to keep you alive, keep your functional for Elias, right ? He wasn’t falling in love with the intel, that would be stupid coming from the elite sniper of The Ghosts, who could kill people without hesitation.
He denied all the times he took care of you ; the times he cleaned the blood from your face, gave you more food than he should, brushing your hair and staying with you longer than authorized. He denied the questions you asked about him being soft.
why are you being nice to me ? You asked, when he came to you after Elias tortured you for hours, and cleaned your wounds.
He didn’t answer, not immediately. What could he say ? That he couldn’t bare the thought of seeing you suffer ? That, him, Keegan Russ, had his heart racing each time he sees you ? He was the one that captured you, that put you through the hell that was Elias’s torture. He couldn’t just say to the intel, that he was falling in love with them.
I’m not nice, I’m keep you alive because we need you. That was the answer before he left the room.
After that, you didn’t see him again for days. He stopped coming, you thought he was busy, too busy to keep doing this. The truth ? Elias noticed everything, and he didn’t like that. So, he kept Keegan busy so he couldn’t come ; made him go on missions again, and again. Sent him away in deployments for months, and threatened him to fire him if he’d come near you once again.
