Summary
“You need sleep,” Soap says instead. He places a hand on Ghost’s shoulder. His movements around Ghost are always slow and deliberate as if he has charted out every action ahead of time as to not spook Ghost.
Some nights, it makes Ghost want to scream. Some nights, he wants to tell Johnny that he is not fragile; that he has survived things worse than he could ever imagine.
Other nights, like right now, it is the only thing that keeps Ghost from falling apart.

Summary
“That’s a raccoon,” Ghost says dryly.
“I know!” Soap says, smiling. “Isn’t he adorable?”
Ghost blinks. Soap watches as his long eyelashes grace the freckles on his cheek, and he can’t help but blush. Even here, in as simple a moment as going for a walk, Soap can’t help but be astounded by how far he has come; how far the both of them have come.
“It’s a fucking raccoon,” Ghost says. “It’s not adorable.”
Soap frowns. “I think he’s cute.”
“I think he’s rabid.”

Summary
The first time Ghost shares a bed after twenty years of sleeping alone, it is with Soap.
And it is just that; just sleeping. Soap, spread starfish across the bed; Ghost, with his hand carding through Soap’s hair. He smiles softly as Soap moves in his sleep, turning closer to Ghost.
He’s not quite sure how they got here, but he knows it is worth it.

Summary
Ghost nods sharply, biting the inside of his mouth. He can taste blood. Watching Johnny, with his bright, sparkling eyes and beautiful smile, Ghost wonders if he will be the final nail in his coffin; the final sin to send him to hell.
He is thirty-three, and he can’t remember the last time he was given a hug. In some ways, that feels like dying too.
“Okay.” Ghost says, throat still raw. He cannot forget the bodies that haunt his childhood home like vengeful ghosts. Sometimes, he wonders if he will go back there and find Soap’s body there as well.
“Okay,” Soap says.
He leaves without saying another word, and Ghost cannot help the arms he throws around himself; the closest thing he has to a hug.

Summary
“You’re safe,” Ghost says. There is a gun in his pocket, and he wonders how many people have died from it. There is a knife wound in his side and he wonders if this will make up for all the blood on his hands that he never quite washed off.
Soap blinks. “We’re safe, Lt. The both of us.”
Ghost does not want to lie. He is old enough to stop pretending, even as it rips his own heart from his chest. Soap deserves better than the easy lies that leave his mouth; he deserves better than the shaky fragment of love that Ghost could try to give him.
The blood dripping down his side is searing in its honesty. This is it. He paid his last respects; did what he was meant to do. If only one of them can survive, he would rather it be Soap. Eventually, Soap will move on—maybe, if Ghost is lucky, he’ll keep a picture, a lasting memory of a Ghost that will stop haunting him after death. Soap will move on.
(Ghost wouldn’t.)

Summary
The man with the rifle traces it across the mask, from the bridge of Ghost’s nose to his cheekbones. “You’ve got a very…” he trails off, and glances at Soap. With a handgun trained at his sergeant’s back, Ghost doesn’t dare try to make a move. “A very loyal sergeant,” the man says, and the smile on his face is revolting in its joy.
Ghost cannot tear his eyes away from the blood on Soap’s shoulder. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. The blood is red and dripping and if they died, it was supposed to be quick. Painful, sure, but that was always part of the deal.
It wasn’t supposed to go like this, betrayal rotten in his mouth and a rifle pointed between his eyes. Ghost tenses his jaw, and stays quiet.
“I would hate for anything to happen to him,” the man whispers, and the rifle’s muzzle is still hot against his mask. Ghost wonders how many men were killed using it.
He glances at Soap again. Here, in the soft moonlight, he is beautiful, even with the blood dripping from his wound. In the end, it was never a decision for him to make.

or: ghost sacrifices himself for soap again :((( then they get rescued and have a Talk and soap kisses his forehead they r in love idk what else to saySeries

Summary
Most of the time, Soap really believes the optimism that he attempts to bring to most of their missions. Most of the time, he is happy, and he means it, and everything is okay. Most of the time, he is with the 141, and he does not need to forget the memories of childhood that plague him like ghosts that cannot be thrown away.
But sometimes, like today, he is stuck in an endless loop of what he believed when he was a child, and it is killing him slowly.

or: soap has religious guilt and has a mild crisis about it and then ghost comforts him!Series

Summary
Ghost learns at a very young age that he would have to be self-sufficient if he wanted to survive.
And that’s not a tragedy—at the very least, by the time he has reached thirty-three, he refuses to see it as such. He is an adult, and he has learned to deal with the way the world is. He has never received kindness nor pity from the place he grew up, and he is okay with that. Sometimes, that is simply how the world is. It is not an injustice. It is just a fact.
But back then he was six and terrified and he did not know the whole world. He knew only his father and mother and little brother; he knew only both the best and the worst. Sometimes, he thinks of what he would have been like had he not had his mother. Sometimes, he thinks that would have turned him into more of a monster than anything else could have.
He is six, and he is scared, and not for the last time in his life, he will have to fend for himself.

Summary
“Gaz said he needed someone to go with him,” Soap says, and Ghost can feel his lips against his neck as he laughs. It makes him inhale sharply. This is something too—too much to be shared here, where anyone can see. This ought to be something that Ghost can take and box away into a little corner where he will never have to think about it again.
But in the end, it is Soap, and he is beautiful, and he deserves to be shown to the world. Ghost wraps a careful arm around him. It’s dark, anyhow; rain clouds are pushing on the horizon of the sky, drowning out the remaining light of the evening.
“Fireworks’ll probably start soon,” Soap whispers. With his hand around the back of Soap’s neck, Ghost can feel his pulse against his fingertips. It’s like some sort of salvation, here in the darkness of the fair. A moment just for the two of them.
