Summary
There’s a quality in Simon’s voice that John’s never heard from him before, but that he’d recognize anywhere. It’s the tone his niblings use when they aren’t sure if they’ve done something wrong. The hesitance he hears from another vet who isn’t sure if the story they’re about to tell is appropriate for present company because no one really debriefs you from a life of violence and killing and casual dark humor to a life without it. The sound of a man burned and turned away so many times that he never had a chance of discerning what he’d done wrong. The sound of a man who, nine times out of ten, was manipulated into thinking he was wrong in the first place.
The sound of a man who desperately needs a safe place to land, but only ever found it in bits and pieces if he found it at all.
--
After over a decade apart, John and Simon find safety.

Summary
“I wasn’t saving you,” Simon said. “I was saving him.”
Johnny’s brow knitted in confusion.
“If I left you to handle that scumbag, you might’ve just torn his throat open right at the kitchen table,” He deadpanned. “Don’t think I don’t see the way you bite a thread loose when you’re sewing. There’s bloodlust in those eyes, love.”
He tensed minutely, not meaning to let the pet name slip out, but the other man didn’t seem phased. Johnny threw his head back and cackled. Simon watched the way those eyes shined with mirth, and thought he might kill the next time someone tried to insult this precious omega. He ached, breathing through his nose shallowly, trying not to smell Johnny’s scent too deeply, lest he forget himself and lean forward to nose along his warm neck.
“What am I going to do with you, Riley?” Johnny asked, fondly. Simon shrugged with the other shoulder, careful not to dislodge Johnny’s grip on his hand.
Keep me, he thought. Let me keep you.

Summary
Ghost was still sore. Most specifically, about the fact that the moment he had tried to get back to Soap, still in bed in his motel room back in Chicago, they had been told they needed to leave almost immediately. Bundled into a plane and sent home to sit, stony faced, at a debriefing that was miserable and tedious. One which even Laswell looked annoyed to be at, which Ghost chalked up to the fact that she had a beautiful wife, and a crusty little dog that needed walking, waiting at home.
Soap had glanced at him across the table, bottom lip jutting out until he caught himself and it was sucked back up into an expression that resembled something a bit more professional. But, Simon could see it in his eyes. The disappointment.
-----
a sequel to caught me gawking, set directly after Ghost and Soap have returned, post-shagging and post-post-final MW2 mission in Chicago. Soap's in a jam and Ghost is in the shit because despite his neatly defined outward flaws, like being incomprehensible half the time, he's quite enjoying Soap's company.
