it’s not until two months after ghost & soap begin working together as a team that simon hears the heavy accent slipping, the weegie slang that johnny tries to mask breaking through and it’s the hottest fucking thing ghost’s seen or heard.

soap’s words are as sharp as knife as he squares up to some poor bugger who caught the sergeant on an off day, several drinks in and no giving a fuck, and ghost just watches. doesn’t interfere just yet. wants to see this side of the soldier longer.

“ah’ll kick your fuckin’ cunt in—aye, ah swear tae fuck—‘mon then!”

simon steps in before the situation gets worse, having to drag soap away while he still yells, accent on full fucking blast, his anger vicious and quick, but simmers when a gloved hand is pressing against the back of his neck, the cool air from outside sobering his thoughts and johnny feels like a massive fucking dick.

“am sorry for back there, nae excuse for that.”

simon smirks, glancing at the scotsman.

simon wandering towards the bedroom naked, already guessing what he’s going to find. and he was right. with the covers kicked to the bottom of the bed, soap is sprawled out naked on his front, one leg bent over a pillow between his thigh and the mattress, the other twisted awkwardly but pointed straight. one arm is bent and tucked under his head and the other is spread across the rest of the bed.

okay but soap standing on a mine or some shit

Roach: don’t shift your weight

Soap: well aye mr fucking obvious

Ghost: soap stay still and stop moving

soap who was born to parents too young, grew up under a stressful household with ratty clothing, charity shop finds and stuff handed down from his his maw’s side of the family. soap who grew up in shit schemes, hung around with the young team, was a wee delinquent & tea leaf. when he finally gets to 16, he joins the army in the hopes of trying to get himself & his parents out of poverty, knowing that other relatives did the same and done no bad for themselves. soap who sends money home to help, who never forgets where he came from and the sacrifices his mum did to keep a roof over his head and his stomach filled.
