“Grenade” | Bandit x Jäger Fanfic [Angst] Part 1/2

I’m still technically on Hiatus, for reasons that I will not state—yet... But I have been working on coming up with plots for the ship fanfics.

I already did one for Vigil x Dokkaebi—you can check that story out, Here!

I didn’t want to keep making fluffy, cute stories, so this is my take at a story with a lot of angst. :0

This story is heavily based off of Bruno Mars’ song, “Grenade”. I’d recommend listening to it to get the gist of how it goes.

Anyway—hope you like it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Easy come, easy go, that’s just how you live oh

Take, take, take it all, but you never give

Both Dominic and Marius have never seen eye to eye in the best or worst of things. Most would say they’re polar opposites. Some could even go as far as saying they hate each other.

But what they didn’t know was that Marius actually liked Dominic.

As much as he wants to beat himself up for catching feelings for someone who couldn’t give a single shit about him, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander and daydream about how things could be different between them. There was even a time where Marius had even confessed about his feelings to the other German. Of course, Dominic didn’t really say anything to respond. He simple just turned and walked away.

But one day, while all the operators were all in their unit dorms, Dominic walked over to Marius, who was sitting on his bed, reading a book. Monika and Elias were both downstairs at the chow hall, so Dominic felt it was the right time to put his plan into action.

”Hey, Marius.” Dom said, “I’ve been thinking about what you told me the other day. Was that true? Or were you just playing a prank on me?”, he questioned, staring at Marius with his dark brown eyes. Marius stared back with his own hazel blue eyes, that were slightly hidden behind the helmet he never takes off. “Of course it was all true. Why would I lie about something like that?”, he responded questionably.

Dominic couldn’t help but let a faint smirk form on his face as he listened to this, “Ah. I just wanted to know. Got curious, ya’ know? Besides..”, Bandit let his voice trail off, falling quiet for a moment before speaking up again, leaning a bit closer to the other German, who was now getting a bit nervous, “I may or may not return the feelings~”, he chuckled, staring at Marius dead in the eyes.

Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss

It wasn’t long before Jäger pulled down his mask and connected his lips with Bandit’s, closing his eyes for the moment as he kissed his fellow GSG 9 operator, faintly smiling into the kiss, letting a dark blush spread across his pale and freckled cheeks.

Upon pulling back for air, Marius was a bit..disappointed?

No..that couldn’t be right..could it?

No. That was right.

Dominic didn’t kiss him back.

Had your eyes wide open

Why were they open?

Dominic stared down at Marius for a moment before quickly looking away, “We should probably go check on Monika and Elias. They’ve been gone for too long now.”, he muttered, earning a faint “Okay” from Jäger as he pulled his mask back up, covering his mouth and nose again before closing his book and following Dominic out of the dorm.

Once the two found the other two Germans, they all quickly returned to their dorm and headed straight to bed to rest up for the mission that was assigned to them by Harry.

Unfortunately for Jäger, he couldn’t fall asleep and was practically up all night, cuddling his pillow tightly as he stared into the void of nothingness, letting stray tears fall onto said pillow. He mumbled a few curses to himself in German, mentally beating himself up for falling for someone who doesn’t even care about him.

No..Dominic cares about him. Right? Why else would he just walk up to him and bring up his confession?? Maybe he’s just embarrassed by his own feelings.

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, you did

Another hostage mission. And at the Border. Both Jäger and Bandit were assigned to this mission due to their experience and gadgets. However, due to the lack of sleep, Marius was barely able to focus on the task at hand. He was too busy trying to stay awake.

“Marius?” Doc spoke, “Are you feeling alright? You look exhausted. Did you get any sleep last night?”, he questioned, clearly concerned about the other. Jäger glanced over towards Gustave before nodding, forcing a faint smile on his covered face. “Ja. I’m fine.”

He lied. He just didn’t want Bandit knowing about him being up all night, silently crying to himself. He’d probably say something like, “Crybaby”, or “Wow. You’re such a little bitch.” He wouldn’t be able to handle those words coming from Dominic’s mouth.

Before Doc could even open his mouth to say something else, Mozzie quickly rushed over, narrowing his eyes at the two taller men from behind his sunglasses, “Oi! We gotta get this room reinforced, mates! Chop-chop! Let’s get to it!” Both Gustave and Marius nodded before quickly rushing away to reinforce the walls and to place down razor wire. Jäger took a moment to decide on where he should place his ADS’s, soon placing two of them in two corners where a doorway and a window were close by. Upon seeing Bandit rush into the bathroom to reinforce the walls so he could stay in the room, safely. Once the walls were reinforced, he moved over to the small shower and sat down, only to hear a familiar sound starting up. He glanced over, spotting Marius placing down one of his magpies down next to him, “For your safety.”, Jäger said, faintly smiling behind his mask as he looked at Bandit, who just shrugged and took out his phone to look at the cams. Marius’ smile slowly faded. He frowned a bit and quickly walked away.

To give me all your love is all I ever asked ‘cause

What you don’t understand is I’d catch a grenade for ya’

With everyone now in place, the five operators waited patiently for the white masks to start showing up, listening to the many footsteps that echoed throughout the building. Mozzie was busy looking through the cams on his phone, scanning the terrorists when they were in view. Mute sat next to Jäger, who was a little too busy letting his mind wander rather than focusing on the mission. Mark noticed this and snapped his fingers in front of Marius’ face, “Focus.”, he muttered in a low voice. Jäger quickly nodded, making sure his 146-C Carbine was fully loaded.

Once they heard a few of the white masks out in the hall, Jäger quickly stood up and jumped through one of the glass windows, shooting at the terrorists and lowering the number of enemies by six, clearing the hallway. He quickly rushed over to the bathroom and hid with Bandit, reloading his firearm in silence before Dominic spoke up, “They burned out your magpie with smokes and flashes.” Jäger opened his mouth to reply but was distracted by a loud “dink!” sound. He quickly turned his attention towards the sound, seeing a grenade rolling on the floor.

Both of the Germans’ hearts nearly stopped as they both watched it, only for Jäger to quickly get up and run to it. He picked up the small device and threw it back, quickly jumping behind the shower’s small wall, panting heavily. “Marius, what the hell was that?! You’re putting yourself in danger a little too much! Quit being stupid!” Jäger slightly flinched at Bandit’s harsh words, frowning as he glanced away in shame, just as the grenade blew up in the hall.

Before another word could be exchanged between the two, one of the white masks ran inside with a knife in hand, quickly kicking Marius across the face, causing his vision to get all blurry. He was beyond dizzy. He felt sick. He felt weak.

The muffled sounds around him was only making him even more disoriented. Eventually, he heard Bandit call out to him, causing the German to quickly look in his direction to see the white mask trying to push a knife into Dominic’s neck. Jäger’s eyes widened at the sight before he quickly rushed over and tackled the terrorists to the floor, only for the white mask to quickly roll them over and pin him on the floor. The terrorist quickly raised the knife up, quickly bringing it down to stab Marius, but was blocked by Marius using his hand to protect himself. He yelled out in pain as the blade stabbed right through his hand, watching the blood splatter on his helmet’s visor.

Throw my hand on a blade for ya’

Jäger quickly kicked the white mask off of him and ripped out the knife from his hand, using it to slit the man’s throat. Marius quickly hid in the corner of the small shower and looked at his hand, watching as his blood trickled down his hand and to his arm. He shook in pain, watching his blood for a moment before he heard gunshots. They were coming from Bandit’s gun.

”Shit..!”, Dominic muttered as he hid behind the wall, avoiding the gunfire from the white masks’ guns. “Get up, Marius! You’re not dead! Be useful for once!”, he yelled before he leaned to aim down the hallway again, “W-Wait! Dom-!!”

Dominic was shot in the shoulder.

Marius quickly got up and pulled Dominic away, quickly looking over is wound, “Scheiße..”, he muttered.

You know I’d do anything for ya’

Dominic pushed Marius’ hands away when he tried to help him, narrowing his eyes at the other German, “Leave me alone! Deal with those fuckers!” Jäger quickly pulled his hands away and nodded, shakily standing back up as he took hold of his firearm, struggling to control his panicked breathing before finally leaning to aim down the hallway, firing at the white masks, until...

Oh oh, I would go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Jäger was shot in the head. The impact from the bullet caused Marius to nearly fall back. He stood in place for a long while as the white masks watched, along with Bandit. Dominic’s eyes were wide as he watched everything happen. After a while, Marius fell to his knees, staring into the void of nothingness as his vision began fading in and out. When he finally fell to the floor, Doc and Mozzie rushed into the hall and gunned down the terrorists. Upon entering the bathroom, they were both shocked at what they found. “Marius!”, Max yelled as he quickly rushed over to the German, “Marius, stay with us! You’ll be alright! You’re gonna be okay!”

Yes, I would die for ya’ baby

Marius laid completely still as he listened to the muffled voices around him. When Mozzie turned Marius on his back, Jäger just stared up at the ceiling, watching as his vision began to slowly fade to black.

Before everything could go dark and quiet for Marius, Dominic walked over and looked down at the other, staring down at the GSG 9 operator as Marius’ blood began to pool underneath his head.

Without a word, Dominic turned and began walking away.

But you won’t do the same...
