TW: Use of Ghost and Soap’s real names, tooth rotting fluff, and my coping
-----------------------------
“L.T you awake?” His husband’s words filled his ears, the heavy Scottish accent lingering in the air.
“M’ not your lieutenant anymore Johnny.” Ghost mumbled sitting up in the bed, the weighted blanket felt nice as Ghost wrapped himself tighter in it.
“Ah, yer righ’ but yer still mine.” Soap grinned, pressing a kiss to Ghost’s jaw. “Now come on we gots to work on our farm M'eudail.”
“Five more minutes luv.” Ghost’s heavy English accent thickened as he tried to keep his eyes open. However his husband had other ideas. “Oi-” Ghost grumbled as Soap flopped on top of him, the shorter man pressing kisses all over his face to wake him up. “Johnny stop.” Ghost growled as he tried to sleep.
“No can do Mo chridhe.” Soap chuckled. “Come on! We gots to go feed the hen’s and milk dem cows.”
“...Can you do that?” Ghost asked opening one eye to look at Soap.
“Simon, yer so lazy.” Soap grumbled trying to push his husband off the bed. “Come on yer lazy Gowk. Is yer turn to deal with roosters.” Soap grinned as he successfully managed to push Ghost off the bed, his husband landing on the wooden floor with a soft thud.
“Oh come on Johnny. Didn’ have to push me off the bed. Coulda just woke me up normally.” Ghost grumbled as he got up, his joints popping as he stretched. “You eaten already?”
“Firs' already tried, yer didnt wan to wake up. Second yer trustin me to cook?” Soap grinned teasingly as he passed Ghost, one of his embroidered cloth face masks that just covered the bottom half of his face.
“...Never.” Ghost hummed as he looped the straps of his mask around his ears. “C’mon Johnny, I’ll go make breakfast.” Ghost decended the wooden stairacse down to the lower level of their farmhouse, the dark wooden walls comforting and warm, he loved this home, and not just because his husband also lived in it.
“Whatcha gonna make Simon?” Soap smiled as he followed after his husband watching as the larger man started to grab different ingredients.
“Pancakes Johnny.” Ghost hummed as he poured the pancake mix onto a pan. “Sleep well?”
“Like a wee baby.” Soap chuckled as he rested his head in his hands, watching his husband cook. “Yer got a nice arse Simon.” Soap teased.
“Shut up Johnny.” Ghost looked over at Soap, “Or I’ll leave you without pancakes.”
“Wait! M’ sorry Simon.” Soap made puppy eyes at him, pleadingly clinging to him. “Jus’ dont take away m’ pancakes.”
“You know I can’t say no to you luv.” Ghost chuckled, lifting his mask to kiss Soap’s forehead.
“Ah know. An am gonna exploi’ it till death.” Soap grinned wrapping his arms around Ghost’s waist and clinging to the taller man as he watched Ghost flip pancakes. “Yer know a love yer right M'eudail?” Soap whispered as he pressed kisses to Ghost’s neck.
“I know Johnny. I know.” Ghost chuckled, wrapping an arm around Soap.
“Good. I think yer should remember that Simon.” Soap smiled softly as he rested his head on Ghost's shoulder. The two happily staying in their kitchen as Ghost finished up the pancakes.
Translations~ M'eudail- dear/darling Mo chridhe- my heart Gowk- Fool
Tw: Mentions of Intimacy
Pre Relationship~
Kind of a slow burn
Ghost was scared of getting attached even more to Soap than he already was
Ghost was also heavily in denial about crushing on Soap, like it took him ages to finally admit to himself that he liked Soap
Soap was quite the opposite, he had already flirted with Ghost whenever he got a wee bit too drunk and was in denial for a total of two minutes once he realized
Because Ghost is so closed off, Soap just assumed he didn't like him back
Didn’t stop him from flirting with him tho. (But Soap flirts with everyone ESPECIALLY WHEN DRUNK so no one really thought anything of it)
Price saw the vision before anyone else did
Ghost’s version of “flirting” is a bit more tame than actual straight up flirting. If you didn’t know him the way the 141 did you probably wouldn't even notice,
Ghost’s flirting is more like subtle light touches, and lots and I mean LOTS of compliments and praise whenever Soap did something well.
Gaz clocked in on it when Soap drunkenly confessed his feelings about Ghost to Gaz. (Gaz just assumed that Ghost was Soap’s new target for constant flirting) And while being best wing man he saw how touchy Ghost was with Soap
Gaz is best wing man (He will randomly leave the room to leave Soap and Ghost alone)
Ghost will never admit it nor show it, but Soap’s flirting had him feeling all tingly and happy. It made him feel like he had a chance with Soap.
And let me tell you. This goes on for months of subtle flirting and romantic/sexual tension for agesssssss, it drives Gaz and Price insane. More so Price funnily enough.
He just wants them to be happy.
Like at this point even Laswell knows. Half of the base knows. Even Graves knows/j
Price is just constantly trying to get Ghost or Soap to confess
Soap decides to confess first? Why? Because Gaz got sick of it and just straight up told Soap that if he’s waiting for Ghost to confess it won't happen and he needs to do it first.
Ghost literally malfunctioned when Soap said that.
Ghost.exe has stopped working
He just stared at Soap and walked off (He was wondering if this was a cruel joke or not, and he was actually really scared of getting into a relationship)
Soap got sad because he thought that meant Ghost didnt like him back so he decided to do the normal thing.
And drink his problems away while ranting to Gaz.
It’s like 3:00 AM when Ghost confesses, he just walks up to Soap’s quarters, enters, wakes him up and tells him that he likes him too and then leaves
Soap is hangover and so confused
It's only in the morning did he realize and almost jumped Ghost while he was trying to eat breakfast
Cue like five months of: are we dating?
Relationship headcanons~
When they FINALLY became official Gaz and Price almost cried of joy /j
But yeah everyone was like FINALLY they got together
Its slow to say the least
Once they started dating Ghost became really closed off for a while as a defense mechanism
Soap didn't mind tho, he will happily wait for Ghost to get comfortable
But in the meantime he initiates touches and constantly showers Ghost with affection even if it's sometimes unrequited
Once Ghost has gotten comfortable with this new situation he will open up more
He does cook for Soap and he cooks very well. (Soap can and will burn the kitchen down)
Black cat x golden retriever is real
Separately are the some of the smartest people ever, together they are idiots
I'm not kidding, Soap is the youngest to pass SAS selection and everything… Ghost is really well versed in combat and highly skilled…
But you put them together and Soap can’t tell you what 2+2 is and Ghost doesn’t know how to speak English anymore.
Ghost is slowly learning Scottish from Soap (He denies the claims)
Despite how he scary he looks Ghost is a sucker for cuddles, he loves just picking Soap up and holding him
Ghost does tend to wear a mask in their room (like the fabric covid masks) because it gives him a sense of familiarity
Soap embroiders things on Ghost’s home masks like cats and stuff like that
Gaz absolutely teases Ghost whenever he walks out with one of his embroidered masks
NO GHOST DOES NOT ABUSE SOAP HE GREW UP IN AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD HE WOULD NEVER HE'S LITERALLY TRAUMATIZED
Intimacy is a big deal since Ghost got SA’d so they take it very slow
Soap constantly checks if Ghost is okay even if it’s Ghost that’s leading
They don’t tend to get kinky much since it’s about mutual affection and passion to them because of that they also don't get intimate that often other than like making out and stuff like that
Aftercare is also great, Ghost is a wholesome man and I die on this hill he will happily give Soap anything he wants
Soap’s aftercare is also great since he fusses over Ghost afterwards even if Ghost says he's fine he will be cared for.
Anyway it’s a very wholesome relationship with minimal arguments
When arguing Soap will start screaming in scottish and Ghost justs stands there like “Huh-”
But they don’t argue that much and when they do it doesnt last long… perhaps its the constant nagging fear that they will die in battle and if one dies before an argument is resolved their last memory will be of angry words
Ghost is 10000% protective, he gets so scared when Soap gets injured, like once Soap cut his finger while cutting tomatoes and Ghost literally wouldn't let him into the kitchen for a month
He is possessive in a sense he gets all grumpy when someone else flirts with Soap but unless he thinks Soap is uncomfortable or in danger he won't step in because he knows Soap can handle himself.
Once they retire from the military they do want to just live in the scottish countryside and own a farm :>
