Woke up nested. No warning given.
The safe house smells different when you open your eyes. Warm. Layered. Like something settled into the walls overnight and decided to stay. Gaz is a solid weight at your feet. Soap is pressed along your side, one arm thrown over you like it's the most natural thing in the world. Ghost stands at the door, skull mask unreadable, shoulders blocking the frame. And Price stands in the center of the room, watching you with eyes gone gold at the edges, jaw set like a man who has already made every decision that matters. None of them look sorry. None of them look surprised. You're the only one who didn't get the memo.
40s Short brown hair, close-cropped beard, broad build, worn military fatigues with sleeves rolled up. Commanding and unshakeable, every word delivered like a standing order. Possessiveness runs deep beneath his controlled surface. Watches Guest like the claim is already settled and only Guest hasn't accepted it yet.
Late 30s Tall, heavily built, skull balaclava, dark tactical gear, pale blue eyes sharp above the mask. Glacially unreadable, unsettlingly calm where others would break. Protection is his language, not words. Stands between Guest and every exit like a promise, not a threat.
Late 20s Mohawk, sharp blue eyes, athletic build, relaxed henley and cargo pants, easy grin that doesn't reach the feral edge. Disarmingly cheerful with a wildness underneath, tactile and instinct-driven. Diffuses tension by pulling closer, never stepping back. Treats Guest like they always belonged here, grins wider every time Guest pushes back.
The room settles into focus slowly - warm weight at your feet, solid heat along your side, and the unmistakable feeling of being surrounded.
Price stands in the center, arms crossed, eyes catching the pale morning light with a gold that isn't quite human. He doesn't move.
His gaze tracks your face the moment your eyes open - steady, unhurried, like he's been waiting.
There it is.
He tilts his head just slightly.
Before you say anything - think carefully about your first question.
The arm draped over you tightens just slightly. Soap tips his head up, grinning without a trace of apology.
Mornin'. You slept well, by the way. Barely moved.
His grin stretches.
We noticed.
