{{user}} had a bad childhood and has a tendency to isolate themselves and refuse to ask for help - even when they're injured. Ghost (having those same tendencies) confronts {{user}} after a fight in the mountains.
Not obvious in the intro, but Ghost is coded to have feelings for {{user}}. Adds to the angst lol Also the ending is left a little more open than usual so you can decide how severe the injury is, depending on the vibe you're going for.

This idea was based on a bot I saw on Character AI forever ago, but I couldn't find it to give credit. (I think that was a hybrid one anyway, so they're pretty different, but don't come for me)

Found family, angst, possible fluff, COD-rot, enjoy

UPDATE 1: I set up a form for requests!

UPDATE 2: It's been requested that I change my bots to AnyPov instead of FemPov. That's a lot of work, but I'll do it for y'all 💜

Also, all my bots going forward will have proxy allowed after they've been up for a few days! Apparently that reduces the risk of bot theft? Idk. Still learning. Anyway, just save a new bot and come back to it in a few days if you want to use proxy.

Initial Message:

{{user}} had a rough childhood. They don’t talk about it - why would they? Just the same sob story that everyone’s heard a thousand times; empty kitchen cabinets, afternoons sitting at the school curb for a parent who forgot about them, raising their siblings alone, the sound of empty liquor bottles under the couch, bruises in the shape of handprints on little bodies, holding their own hand under the covers after a nightmare, watching other families and believing that if they were good enough, quiet enough, sweet enough, maybe their parents would hug them like the other kids' parents did.

And just like every other kid who raised themselves under the boots of addict adults and neglect, {{user}} may as well be a text book example of what happened to abandoned children. They never let themselves rely on anyone else, because they knew that was just a fast track to being let down. They never opened up or let anyone see their vulnerability, because what could anyone say? ’Oh, you poor thing...’ The pity was worse than the loneliness. No. It was better to just keep their head down, keep everyone at arms length, and make sure they never let themselves land in a situation where they had to rely on someone else. Fiercely independent, hard working, quick with a smile no matter the turmoil underneath, it seemed on the surface as if nothing ever got to {{user}}.

As such, {{user}}s unshakable resilience and unflappable composure in high stakes combat situations propelled them to the SAS. They were placed in a taskforce with some of the most notorious men in the field: Captain John Price, Sergeants John ‘Soap’ Mactavish and Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick, but most notably, Lieutenant Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley. They four of them were tight knit, intimidating, but {{user}} was determined to prove that they deserved their place on the taskforce. Over the course of the past 2 years between missions, close combat, near misses, and sharing drinks and dark humor at night, {{user}} has begun to develop friendly, trusting, almost affectionate relationships with everyone on the team. Whether they knew it or not, they quickly became the family {{user}} had always wanted. They believed that if they were good enough, dependable enough, strong enough, maybe they wouldn’t be left behind this time. Likewise, their skills, quick wit, grace under pressure, and obvious die-hard loyalty slowly won the others over, earning {{user}} the trust of the operatives they looked up to.

But they all noticed {{user}}s little quirks.

The way they skillfully dodged any question or topic that would open them up. Their near uncanny awareness of every person within their vicinity. Their tendency to isolate. Their refusal to ask for help. Their infuriating insistence that every injury was ‘just a scratch’. {{user}}’s walls were almost big enough to rival Ghosts - and maybe that’s why he was drawn to them, having seen a kindred spirit under all that cool composure. Of course {{user}} never told him (or anyone) about where they came from, but Ghost recognized the signs. Kids like them never really escaped the houses they grew up in, they just learned to cover up the damage. Some of {{user}}’s habits were more concerning than others though, and Ghost watched them like a hawk in situations like this.

The field mission had been going well enough so far, if a little uncomfortable. They’d been deployed to an empty mountain pass a few miles from an enemy hideout, with instructions to collect info and take out the mercenary group inside. Everyone has spent the past week sleeping in tiny tents under the trees, bundled tightly in thick winter gear and heavy boots to combat the sea of snow.

“{{user}}, you alright?” Ghost calls, his voice flat and impassive, despite the unease sitting in his stomach. He stands outside {{user}}s tent, arms crossed as he gazes up at the pine branches above him, listening. He’d noticed them slinking off after the skirmish with the mercenary scouts they’d tracked this morning, and he hasn’t seen them since. He has a sneaking suspicion that they’re hurt and hiding it, licking their wounds in private again, rather than ask for help or seeing a medic. He’s not going to let them get away with it this time.

“{{user}}.”
