Just a watcher

And the first thing Ghost says?

"Wait, Soap is inside me right now?"

Nik: Good morNING--blyat, your hands are like ice!

Graves, with his hands stuck up Nik's shirt: I'm recovering.

Price: ... from?

Graves: I haven't touched a man's hairy tummy in MONTHS, John! MONTHS! If I could LIVE under Nik's shirt, I would.

Nik: I missed you too, luchyk--

Price: Why'd you pick Nik's tummy instead of mine?

Graves: More tummy.

You got me, I love an AAU..... alas, I think Soap would be a LOT less subtle about it than Ghost was - because that's his man ALIVE

Graves: Morally, I could be winning gold medals in rhythmic gymnastics.

Price:

Graves: Or was that a proposition of another kind, Captain?

*office is pitch black*

Gaz: Uh-??

Ghost, from the shadows: Come in

Gaz: ... why are the lights off?

Ghost: I wanted a break. We can still talk

Gaz: ... not today- *closes the door and starts speedwalking down the hall*

Price: I needed to get a cup so I didn't punch Graves when he started talking

Gaz: That's... you're going to need something stronger than coffee

Price: It's a start *drinks directly from the coffee pot*

Graves: I REFUSE TO LOOK LIKE A BASIC BITCH

Price: You're already an extra bitch! There's nothing basic about you!

Graves, poking his head out: Do you mean that?

Price, groaning: YES

Graves: Aw- ... what are you wearing?

I honestly don't know if I ever answered this-

They met through work. When John worked more in the field with Kate, handling terrorist threats and so on. They were friendly but never hung out as much as either would have liked.

Then Kate suddenly had responsibility of a kid. His dad angered a some gang, connections to a drug empire. An empire Kate had been trying to tear down. That's how she ended up with Simon. And how Nik ended up being the one delivering him across country to one unwilling foster dad, John.

Simon kept running away from every secure home Kate placed him in. So she decided to send him to John, someone more than capable of both protecting Simon and making sure he stayed put. And Nik was the most secure transport, someone Kate trusted.

Nik ended up smitten with Simon. He was a good kid, scared out of his mind and traumatized by a past he won't talk about. So when he made it to John, Nik stuck around. For Simon.

Then, he was finally able to get some personal time with John. And they both fell pretty quick. It's hard to date with their respective fields of work. They understood things that normal people didn't, they could talk about things that they just couldn't with everyone in the normal world.

Gaz: You would not believe how many of the newbies were flirting with me

Soap: *mocking Scottish noises*

Gaz, laying on the couch: shut it, Suds, you're just mad that I'm a catch~

Ghost, ominously from behind the couch: You know what else is a catch?

Soap: oh-

Gaz, cautiously: What?

Ghost: Me

Ghost: *jumps over the back of the couch onto Gaz*

Gaz: *screams*

Graves: Wait, what are those chunks?

Nik: *walks into the kitchen and freezes*

Graves: ARE THESE BACON BITS??

Nik: *slowly backs out of the room*

Graves, outraged: YOU WERE IN MY KITCHEN-

Nik: *runs*

Ghost: Are you quoting Legally Blonde?

Graves: ... how do you know that I am?

Ghost:

Graves:

Ghost: ... I felt like we bonded there and I don't like it

Graves: It didn't happen

Who knew inviting a Russian who could outdrink an elephant would make it all go to shit so quickly?

Price. Price knew. He'd assumed the man would have SOME semblance of self-control, but again. Russians. Best qualities and worsts and whatever the fuck. And Graves? He's even fucking worse, attempting to out drink the man and then subsequently starting some sort of petty squabble with said man, to where Price has to drag them both out by the ears and scolds them like he's talking to roudy teenagers.

But, instead of it actually clicking in their minds that they have a lesson to learn, it ends with them piling ontop of the british man in the back of Nik's truck and unspeakable things happen. Things they do not bring up. Ever.

Graves is currently shifting into his final form: Grillmaster Graves. He has stars n stripes shorts, shirt, and flip flops, and brings out his white hat with a RWB hat band for the occasion.

He also has an apron on that says "My meat is always smoking hot."

Price: Nik, this is nice and all, but where is everything else that was in the fridge?

Nik: Well....about that...

Price: Nik, what did you do

Nik: We had space in the garage and....

Price:....Oh my god nik

Nik: We now have two fridges

John asking Simon to grab him a bottle of coconut water when he said he was going to the corner store. Only the kid returned with a coke and water.

"Simon..."

"What? You wanted a coke and water!"

"Coconut water."

Simon stared before it hit him, "Oh!"

John snorted, accepting the two beverages anyways as Kyle and Farah laughed over Simon's blunder. When Nik returned home that evening, he didn't wait to tell him about the mishap.

It was funny, but Nik focused on the wrong part.

"Did you not get your coconut water?"

"No?"

He saw the gears turning, Nik was going to do something. But he said nothing, deciding to let fate take hold and let whatever happens happen. Two days, it took Nik two days to buy coconut water in bulk. Maybe replacing everything in the kitchen fridge was a but much, but John still laughed when he saw the fridge packed with his preferred choice of coconut water.

"Nik! What is this?"

"I got you coconut water!"

And another fridge. To house everything that got taken out of the kitchen fridge. The kids thought it was funny, too. They probably helped.
