T(H)RUST - Ghost x Reader

Chapter 41

"Thank you, luv." He says as he grabs the cup. Ghost pulls up his mask over his mouth and puts the cup to his lips, blowing at the liquid quickly before taking a sip. He grimaces a little and has to hold back a cough. You look at him with a questioning gaze, hoping the tea wasn't too bad.

"It's a little bitter." He says with a smile before kissing your cheek. "But thank you."

Tip comes into the room, hopping up on the bed. She meows before snuggling up close to Ghost. He pets her with one hand while drinking the rest of the tea, even if he didn't seem to fancy it too much. His phone on the nightstand vibrates and the screen lights up. Placing the cup down he grabs the phone to check who texted him. He quickly types up a reply before tossing the phone onto the bed.

"I've got an appointment to have her spayed today." He says, scratching the top of Tip's head. "König asked if he could come meet the kittens someday and I said he could come by while I'm out, is that alright with you?"

"Mhm, that's alright."

Ghost is standing in the hallway, putting on his boots when there's a knock on the door. He reaches for the handle and opens it. You're sitting on the couch, your body is more tired than usual because of what happened last night and you wave when you see König step inside. After exchanging a few words, Ghost walks over to you and hugs you tightly before he walks out, carrying Tip in a pet carrier.

You can see König looking around the room, trying to spot the kittens, and then the excitement in his eyes when he does. He walks to and sits down on the carpet where the kittens are playing, crossing his legs. Lee walks up to him, seemingly recognizing him.

"Oh, you've grown a lot." He says to her. They all had grown quite a bit, but Lee was still the smallest one of them. König picks her up and pets her, and soon tiny purrs can be heard. He lays down on his back and places Lee on his chest where she snuggles up into a little ball. You can see the admiration for her in his eyes when he looks on as she slowly moves as he breathes in and out.

Gandalf walks close to the couch and you pick him up, holding him as you lay down on your side. His fur is the lightest colored one and you pet him slowly as he struts around on the seat cushion. König asks you about when the kittens would be old enough to be separated from Tip. Ghost had said it would be about twelve weeks, so another six weeks. The cats would all follow with the group for missions, but when they were old enough, the team could start taking their kittens home to wherever they were staying. It would be nice to not have to deal with so many cats, but at the same time very sad to not see their cute little faces every day.

König plays with the kittens while you and Gandalf lay on the couch. You pet his soft fur and when you try to pet his belly, he bites you with his tiny teeth. It barely hurts, only tickles slightly. 

"Sorry, I'm a bit tired. Some days are more tiring than others." You say, excusing yourself after yawning a few too many times in a row.

"It's okay, I'll talk with them." He says, motioning for the pile of kittens that are currently fighting for a fluffy green toy.

You wake up when you feel a large hand on the back of your head. It gently lifts your head up. After scrunching your eyes, you slowly open them. When you're finally able to focus, you spot a pair of two green eyes. They are so close to your face, only a couple of inches away. And they look into yours. You almost jerk your head back, feeling your heart beating quicker.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I scared you." König says, pulling away. You look at him with a raised eyebrow, still feeling his hand behind your head.

"Uhm, it's not good for your neck to sleep like that." He holds a pillow in his hand and shows it to you. "I thought you might want this." Still a bit drunk on sleep, you sit up slightly and he places the pillow behind your head before you lay down again. Your heart is still beating rather quickly and you have to shake your head to get rid of the surprise that was tickling your body.
