"Won't reapply for you then, if you don't fancy it. "

"Ah dinnae say that."

Soap grinned wider, the taste permanent on his tongue. He'd never been so happy to be so dehydrated.

his own lips together, as one does, darting his tongue out to taste curiously before a smile overtook him, "Cherry?"

"S'What I got."

"More of a strawberry guy myself." Maybe before, sure, but now he would never buy another flavor again. -

now met in the middle; one a pair of surprise while the other expressed challenge. Ghost's lips kneaded into Soaps methodically, smearing substance between them that both aided John's burn and simultaneously shot heat throughout him. Contact slowly breaking, Soap absently ground-

over his own with a pressure intent on transference. One gloved hand had pulled the edge of damp fabric up just enough to allow the action, consequentially releasing a wave of heat from beneath the balaclava that seared Soaps skin worse than the sun could. Eyes never shutting, -

Soap's palm faces the sky in Ghosts direction expectantly and there's a long beat before thick fingers secure his wrist and pull, guiding Johnny in closer than necessary for a simple hand off. Before Soap can vocalize his confusion, slightly tacky and slick lips are being sealed-

genuine hope.

"On me?" Ghosts voice was rougher than usual, evidence of their time well spent out under the sun.

"Aye, got any on ye?"

"I do."

"Mind sharin'?"

collected and void of complaint, stood Ghost, eyes fixed to the horizon. Dark eyeblack shiny with sweat. Soap forced his tone light, keeping his frustration from souring his words as he spoke, "Got any chapstick on ye, Lt?" A partial joke of circumstance but not devoid of -

base for the temporary comforts it could offer. Soap's parched tongue bullied his equally dry lips as he willed moisture into the burning skin, though the momentary alleviation only lead to further flames that had him biting at his flesh in annoyance. To his right, ever -

This was enough. As Soap pulled back for air and Ghost chased him down for more, it became too much in just the right way, just how they needed it to be. A bonfire, warm, chaotic, and burning.

known only to this connection. Hands slipped over shoulders, thumbs dipped into belt loops, and bodies slowly crushed into one another until everything Soap should've said and Ghost could've countered with became irrelevant. -

beneath the balaclava, separating them for all of a second as he tucked it high onto the bridge of Simon's nose. They met again, still forceful, still with tension that took its time in fading, but the warmth soaked through Soaps skin and bound his explosive heart in a comfort -

own in a kiss that radiated understanding but pushed in firmly with a claim. The fabric wasn't pleasant, but it was a far cry better from what could've been, and Soap drank it in for what it was. When residual anger demanded more of a resolution, his own hands rose to shove -

"Fuck sake, say somethin' better than that."

A gloved hand found Soaps jaw and a thumb soothed over his lower lip, silencing him from demanding more, or chastising Ghost further for less.

"I won't."

Covered lips traveled far to press down into Soaps space, encompassing his -

into them becoming a "them".

"Shouldn't have said it, didn't mean it."

His words were increasing in number, a good sign that Ghost seemed to note because he too relaxed, unlocking limbs and shifting his weight to a less domineering stance.

"I know."

May 15, 2025 at 10:59 PM
"I'm sorry."

"I know."

Now the lack of substantial response was bothersome in a different way. Soap met Ghosts eyes again, expecting to find the anger he had been bathing in but instead found something softer, something only meant for him that he had clocked about a year -

eyelids as he pawed at his face, massaging away the blank stare he had been trying to uphold, unsuccessfully. It wasn't worth the satisfaction of mutual screaming, this dance. If anything, it was only making his head hurt worse.

"I know."

Bastard. Out with it then.

it to him, all grinding to a halt as he tossed out those final three words. He would never mean them.

"I need ye."

A white flag and proper surrender. His shoulders sank and ached as the tension he held burned with the sudden release of form. His gloves scratched against his -

tightly, bringing him into something usually familiar but in the moment it had felt so constricting. He had snapped, shoved Ghost away and made some quip about personal space that immediately had Ghost on the defensive. Arguing was easier than relaxing and by god did Soap give -

gunfire, from screaming and from the intensity that had granted him this ember that ignited such an unnecessary bonfire. His boots had felt too tight, the water had been cold, his head had hurt too much, and Ghost had moved too fast. His arms had wrapped around Johnny too -

"Can't give it up."

Us. He'd wanted to say us, but the word didn't feel like it deserved to be on his tongue.

"Why's that."

A final challenge. He was game. He was tired. He had wanted peace when returning to base, his mind having promised him a shower and a reprieve from -
