Hello, anon! No smut, but some implied spice :) Also- so long as I live and breathe- rick flag will forever live on D:<
rick flag x f!reader - side robert Dubois x f!reader - general - warnings: praisekink. canon typical mentions of violence.
- Imagine you're able to convince Robert DuBois to join taskforce x long before Corto Maltese.
- You get along well because DuBois isn't just competent. His dry humor genuinely cracks you up.
- It also doesn't hurt that he's an old friend of Flag's.
- Your secret affection for the Colonel was what made you curious about DuBois as an asset in the first place. When you learned they had a shared history, you made it your mission to get DuBois a deal with Waller.
- Unbeknownst to you, Rick Flag is conflicted about this new arrangement.
- He'd long accepted that a strong, professional agent like you would never reciprocate his feelings, nor cross that line with him.
- But when he sees you and DuBois click so well, he ignores the way he sees a bit of green every time you're all assigned together. You did his friend Robert a solid by convincing Waller to leave his daughter alone. And Rick trusts Robert with his life out in the field.
- One day, Rick clocks you acting strange. It's only a fraction of a second, but Rick Flag knows you well enough by now to see it.
- DuBois passes by you as the rest of the squad packs up and heads back to base. You had taken down the last sniper before they could kill anyone else, saving quite a few teammates.
- He clasps a hand on your shoulder, his touch lingering as Rick hears the sultry words leave DuBois' mouth teasingly. "That's a good girl."
- Rick sees you tense up. Not with agitation, but the kind of look between two people who know something private.
- And for the first time, Rick Flag witnesses your face turn beet red at the phrase. He's never seen you look so bashful. You can't even reply.
- DuBois keeps walking with a smirk. He gives Rick a pointed glance in the process- as if he intended Rick to hear it in the first place.
- You clear your throat and pat yourself down as if you've forgotten something, quickly dismissing yourself from the area without looking at the Colonel.
- Rick blinks after you. He doesn't know what to think. What was DuBois playing at?
- The realization clicks into place. Perhaps Rick doesn't know what's going on between the two of you, but he does know now you've always had an affinity this sort of thing.
- "Good girl. Good girl. Good Girl." DuBois' voice rings in his ears as the image of you blushing burns itself into Rick's mind.
- He thinks back to all the times he's shown appreciation for your hard work on the squad. And while more subtle than Dubois' bold compliment, Rick knows now with hindsight that you've always stiffened at words of praise- however slightly.
- Would you redden like that if Rick said the same to you? What if he said something even more brazen?
- Maybe it was the typical post-suicide mission high. Maybe it was the way Robert challenged him with a knowing look.
- Quickly dismissing himself from the group, Rick wanders off in your direction, curiosity getting the better of him.
- He's had a few things he's wanted to say to you for awhile now. Rick wonders if whispering them to you in private will persuade you to listen.
Whisper all the words to me and I’ll listen forever 😜
