“…”
“…”
“Are you also kind of annoyed that ghost ruined the surprise?”
“We worked so hard on it!”
“…”
“I actually thought your drawing of the moon was really good.”
“THANK YOU! I was really proud of it.” *grumpy rumblings continue until they see it framed on the rec room wall two days later*

Poor soap. He’s a very bright man, but he’s also dense as a box of rocks. The duality of man and all that 😂
November 17, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Heartbreak he can handle, but the relentless mockery of two of his best friends? He simply has to go into hiding. 😂
November 17, 2025 at 2:54 PM
I just know they’re both gonna start walking into rooms and dead serious saying ‘I love you’ then start cackling and leave 😭 poor ghostie

Thank you tenz 🥰 saps, the pair of them. He might be right about moving though because Gaz and price may be happy for them but they’re not likely to let it go either…

“I love you.” Ghost murmurs against Soaps lips. “I love you, I love-“ Soap cuts him off again,, swallows his words.

When Ghost’s mask finally gets kicked to the floor, it lands in a small pile of glitter, red and gold painting the black and white.

“I said it to Price and Gaz first, by accident.”

“Is that why the vibes were so abysmal when I came back in?” Soap exclaims, laughter in his eyes.

“I can never see them again. We have to move.” Soap does start laughing then, and so does Ghost.
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
“Meet me at the watchtower.” It reads.

“I had a whole evening planned.” Soap explains. “Your birthday present was going to be me. My heart, as naff as that may sound. Price had given us the time off duty and everything. And then you just walked in and said it to my face, you brave sod.”
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
“And why is it on your bed?” Ghost says, wiping it off on the belly of Soap’s t shirt.

“Arts and crafts.” Soap shrugs and rolls to fetch the card Price had dropped onto it before he’d scarpered.

It’s a glittery monstrosity, gaudy and three clearly different artists hands at work on it.

Soap kisses him. Hard. So that answers that, really.

The kissing devolves into making out, which becomes heavy petting pretty rapidly. Ghost is getting ready to finally start peeling Soap’s clothes off when he puts his hand in the glitter.

“It’s biodegradable.” Soap says like that’s the problem.
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
He’s starting to suspect that may have been a little foolish.

“I love you. Too.” Soap is beaming now, so hard his cheeks have dimpled and his eyes are creased.

“Like. Romantically?” Ghost feels like he has to check, he has to confirm for sure-
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Soap startles. A small almost joyful giggle bursting from his chest.

“Aye, I should think I mind a great deal to hear that the love of my life loves me back.” His eyes are dancing with mischief and sincerity.

“Um.” Ghost swallows. “What?” He’s let himself prepare for every outcome but this one.
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
“You don’t…mind?” Simon hedges, his teeth aching with tension.

“Mind?”

“That I love you?”
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
“You’ve never loved anyone else that I’ve seen even half so well as you have loved me. Not where it counts.” Soap punctuates that with a firm tap against Simon’s chest and Jesus when had he got that close?

“You’re an open book, Simon Riley, for anyone with the patience to read your handwriting.”
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
“You have never let anyone else make your tea in the morning, you know that?” Soap asks. “You’ve never asked anyone else to stitch a wound you’d hidden for two days. You’ve never stolen anyone else’s second favourite knife just to repair it and return it with improvements. It’s my favourite now.”
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Soap looks shocked, like Ghost had known he would, but not in the same hunted way the others had. He looks awed.

“Jesus, you’re brave.” Soap says before he swallows hard. “Simon. I know.” He shrugs, like it’s no big deal at all, like it’s not a heart laid bare.
November 17, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Ghost’s heart twists violently and his hands do the same.

“No.” Ghost sighs. In for a penny, he supposes. “It’s my birthday tomorrow and I just. This is my gift to myself. The courage to tell you that I love you, Johnny. I love you, I love-“ he cuts himself off before he can ramble any further.
