    Summary

    "Ghost," Soap says, sharper this time, a little edge of order in his voice. Ghost's shoulders tense, roll up. He winces and straightens again, staring up at Soap. The eye contact is settling, a little - seeing Ghost's eyes focus on him is reassuring, tells Soap that Ghost is with him at least. He forces a smile. "What's goin' on in that pretty little head, huh?"

    He means it to tease, hopes it'll make Ghost roll his eyes, scoff and shove at him, as he always has when Soap turns flirty and intimate. Ghost's boundaries are well-known and well-respected - he likes the social play of it all, comfortable in platonic submission that lets Gaz and Soap and Price needle at him, seek reassurance that he's their steadfast and constant foundation, but pulls a hard and fast stop when it progresses too far. Soap expects to hit that wall, to get a little snark and be dismissed as a worrying mother hen.

    But Ghost just stares up at him, unblinking, his eyes unbearably warm, cheeks flushed along the edges of his mask.

    Soap frowns, reaches out to put the back of his hand on Ghost's forehead. Ghost's lashes flutter weakly.

    "Think I'm droppin'," Ghost mutters, leaning into the touch.

    Summary

    Bucky stomps his way to a stop in front of Steve. Steve looks up at him and smiles. His flat glare is all Winter Soldier, chilling to the bone, but the restless clench of his fists is Bucky. So is the stubborn set to his jaw when he demands, “Let me scent you.”

    Without waiting for an answer, he begins to strip off his gear and set it in orderly rows on the coffee table. Derringer, holster, SIG, holster, mag-pouch, IFAK, Skorpion, belt, vest —

    Steve’s eyebrows steadily rise. Surely, he thinks, Bucky hadn’t brought all those grenades for him. Bucky’s glare turns murderous when he notes Steve’s bland amusement, but by the time he’s done, dressed down to a t-shirt and cargos, he still hasn’t moved from his expectant spot in front of him, so Steve gathers up his wits and says, “Uh, sure, Buck. If you want.”

    And then, without any pomp or ceremony, he’s got a lap full of serum-enhanced super-soldier.

    or: Bucky’s memory leads him astray sometimes, but it works out just fine in the end.

    Summary

    So, Soap’s a big guy. Obviously.

    He’s not overly tall, but he’s wide in the shoulders and thick in the thighs. He’s the kind of big that’s naturally built all over: training muscles on top of mission muscles on top of an innate bulk.

    He’s the kind of big that makes him immovable to most guys.

    The kind of big that’s always been -ger than most everyone else—if not by height, than at least by heft.

    So when they’re on mission and Ghost spots a grenade before Soap does, and, with no time to warn him, grabs him by the waist and flings him back behind cover, gear and all, Soap’s really not expecting to think much about it, aside from maybe, ‘Oh, shit.’

    What he thinks instead is: ‘Oh-hmm.

    And then, in rapid succession: ‘Big.

    ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------

    Or, Soap realizes that Ghost is bigger than him. His dick realizes that’s hot.

    Summary

    What they do– it's not love.

    If it is love, it's an animal kind of love. Proper domestication takes thousands of years and they're just the first generation of it. They scrounge each other's carcasses and they nip each other's fingers and they call mutualism a relationship because they're still stuck pretending they're human and not a different type of creature entirely.

    Soap loves him, because he's meant to, and he's choosing to, and because he's got the strings of fate around his neck like a garrote.

     

    (One of the dogs at the Predmostí burial site, 27-thousand years ago, was found with a bone in its mouth.)
