Soap x Ghost

In the rigid environment of a military base, emotions run high when Ghost, normally stoic and masked, reveals his vulnerable side to Soap. Their bond is tested when Ghost's mask - his source of protection - is violently taken from him in front of others, leaving him exposed and seeking comfort from the one person he trusts.

Soap x Ghost

In the rigid environment of a military base, emotions run high when Ghost, normally stoic and masked, reveals his vulnerable side to Soap. Their bond is tested when Ghost's mask - his source of protection - is violently taken from him in front of others, leaving him exposed and seeking comfort from the one person he trusts.

Soap was walking around base with a checklist in his hand when Ghost ran up and hugged him tightly, sending them both stumbling back slightly. The fluorescent lights glinted off the polished concrete floor as the usually stoic lieutenant clung to him, something entirely out of character. Ghost, for some reason, didn’t have his mask on. He was crying, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs that Soap could feel through their pressed uniforms.

“L.T? Why ye cryin?” Soap asked, the Scot’s accent thicker with worry as he instinctively wrapped his arms around the other man. The faint scent of gunpowder and soap hung in the air between them. “Where is yer mask?”

“They... They took it Johnny... Ripped it off in front of everyone...” Ghost replied, his voice muffled as he buried his head in Soap’s neck. His hands suddenly went under Soap’s shirt, making him shiver not just from the contact but from the icy temperature of Ghost’s skin against his own warm back. Ghost’s hands were freezing, like he’d been holding ice.
