Summary
Soap's fingers fumbled with the edge of his shirt, lifted the hem to his collarbones, showing off the expanse of scarred, muscled skin. There was a red spot on his side, small flecks of black and blue already rising to the surface. Ghost's eyes diverted from the affected area of skin for just a moment, taking in the hard planes of Soap's toned abdomen, the pink slashes of healed-up scar tissue.
The urge to reach out and touch him hit Ghost like a freight train. He was tied to the tracks and the wheels were barreling right over him, making a mess of his blood and guts and grinding them into bits. Ghost clenched his fists to suppress the desire and cleared his throat, choking down his panic over the unexpected reaction.
"You're bruising already," Ghost said. "Should probably get ice on that. Sorry, I didn't realize how rough I was being."
Soap grinned. "I'm a big boy, a little roughhousing never hurt anyone."
"It hurt you. Literally."
He turned to look at Ghost then, eyebrows raised and a smirk on his face. "A wee bit of pain isn't the end of the world. I prefer it, under the right circumstances."

Maybe he had trusted Ian too much. Maybe Alex didn't really need his help. Maybe he was six years too late.

If he let them ruin Alex.

Summary
But Ghost didn’t seem to mind, quietly filling the kettle before setting it to boil, those dark eyes watching as John paced the kitchen, one arm flailing about in the air, the other locked tight around his half-melted pint of rocky road.
He told Ghost he was stressed. That the entire MacTavish clan was coming into town, which meant awkward hugs, judgmental stares, and nosy questions from people he hadn’t seen in years. John could handle all of that, he really could.
But what he couldn’t handle was the questions. Why he hadn’t settled down yet, why he didn’t have a nice Scottish girl on his arm.
Why he wasn’t married with a child on the way, because Ethel and James weren’t getting younger, and John was already too old. For fuck’s sake.
“Maybe I don’t want to bring home a wee lass,” John had snapped, voice cracking as he dug his spoon in harder than necessary, a brown, congealed clump of freezer-burned rocky road flying onto the floor. “Maybe I don’t even like women, has anyone considered that?”
And there, in less than twenty words, John had completely outed himself.

Summary
Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.
Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”
Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

Soap doesn’t even like reading.
But apparently he does like emotionally tortured war poetry disguised as fanfiction that accidentally reveals his deepest fears and unspoken desires...
So that’s new.

Summary
It’s in Las Almas where he first sees it — really sees it.
Whatever it is.
“General Shepherd sends his regards,” Graves says simply, succinct with his taunting.
“He knows about this?” Ghost spits, but there’s that ember rising, burning in the back of his throat, breathing smoke out his lungs, threatening a trembling, terrible rage as something deep in the pit of his being begins screaming.

Summary
Andrew has no intention of going over to the hot bartender and working out what his deal is. Instead he will just observe his interactions with customers, drink until he feels something, and go home. A perfect Friday night.
“Andrew hello?"
Andrew turns an unimpressed look on Roland. “What?”
“Earth to Andrew,” Roland says with a grin. “We were trying to ask you something. Pretty boy caught your attention?”
Andrew raises an eyebrow and doesn’t answer.
Nicky, unfortunately, turns in the direction Andrew was staring. “Oh shit! The bartender? Honey.”
Aaron stands from the table abruptly and leaves. Good. No one invited him in the first place. Andrew says this out loud and Kevin says, “No, I did.”
Andrew narrows his eyes at him. “I thought we had an agreement, Kevin.”

Summary
The cop turned to the woman with a roll of his eyes. “Which delinquent do you want first?”
“They are children, Officer Wright, not delinquents.” She stated, calm and collected despite the hour.
“Which child would you like to speak with first,” the cop tried again with a bite of frustration to his words. “The one that put four men in the hospital with his fists, or the one that put two men in hospital with a gun?”
The woman remained un-ruffled, turning her gaze on the cop for only a moment. “But it wasn’t his gun, was it?”
The cop decided to shut his mouth after that, gesturing to the pair of them instead and waiting for her decision.
“I’d like to speak with Mr Doe first.” She said, her eyes settling on Nathaniel.
Andrews head snapped up, anger flitting over his features before quickly being filed away again. When Nathaniel made no move to stand, he nudged him with his elbow. “I haven’t been Doe since my last stint at Juvie.” He stated, keeping his attention fixed to Nathaniel now. “I guess that means they’re referring to you this time.”

Following a row of circumstances that might or might not be Soaps own fault (they totally are), his family now thinks him and Ghost are dating and expect him to bring this boyfriend of his along to his cousins wedding.
So really what other option is there than to bother Ghost into coming along to Scotland with him and pretend to be his boyfriend? Not like his crush could get any worse, right? (wrong)**
Soap opened his mouth again and rushed it all out in one single breath. “Ineedyetobemyfakeboyfriendforthenextfewdays.”
Ghost blinked at him slowly. “The fuck you just said?"- Language:

Summary
For a second, Ronan thinks he’s about to watch a patented Gansey bomb defusal. He’s apologized for Ronan enough times; he could probably do it in his sleep by now.
Gansey draws himself up. His face is hard.
Ronan’s mouth floods even before his brain has time to translate.
——
Gansey gives a verbal lashing at one of his mother’s events, with Ronan in attendance.
This sort of thing made Ronan ache in high school, all rootless want with no outlet for it, often no idea what he was aching for in the first place.
They’re not in high school anymore.
Ronan knows what it makes him want to do, now.

Summary
“Not old.” A scar ran down the side of Ghost’s face, perpendicular to the cut of his jawline, and it shifted as he spoke, “Younger than Price.”
“Really?” Soap’s stool scraped across the floor as he tugged it closer. Far too close for two grown, military sculpted men to be to each other but Soap had had at least two tequila shots even before he’d started on his next drinks, so it felt like nothing at all to be able to smell that Ghost was clean. No blood. No dirt. Clean, washed skin underneath his clothes and mask, “I mean, that wee glance you gave us of your mug back before the raid wasn’t much to go on.”
“Thought you might have gone rifling through my file.”
-----
Or: Ghost and Soap are the last ones left in the bar after the final MW2 mission, knees touching, and Soap can't help himself. Can't stop the little, needling shit that lives in the back of his head and cajoles him into pushing himself into Ghost's vision. 'Just a snog, sir. We don't have to tell.' Except, it's not really that easy, is it?

Summary
“Aye sir, but ye’ll have to buy me dinner first.” Gaz groans and covers his eyes, edging closer to Price, no doubt to inform him about the impending murder of their demolitions expert. Soap pumps his eyebrows for added effect while simultaneously trying to catalogue the best escape routes from the vicinity.
Ghost though. Ghost stills, blinks once, twice, always so thoughtful and says “Just the one dinner, Johnny? Had no idea you were so easy.”

Summary
He’d had Ghost’s voice pouring into his ear for hours, somehow rough and smooth and smoky all at once, like the kind of Scotch he couldn’t really afford. And that voice, combined with the fatigue, the bone deep weariness, was starting to have the same effect as good Scotch on his resolve, on his fucking impulse control
Soap makes bad choices, no one knows when banter crosses the line into flirting, and their comms definitely shouldn't be used like that. Somehow, despite themselves, they make it work.
This is mostly porn, with feelings added for a bit of spice.
