   Summary

   Soap notices that Ghost always smells of lavender, and seems to have an aversion to certain deodorant smells, and he sets out to figure out why. Along the way he changes his own deodorant and finds out that that gesture means a whole lot more to Simon than he could ever have thought it would. He learns more about his Lieutenant in the next few months than he has in the last nearly five years of working with him, finding out why such a small gesture meant so much to him and getting to know every part of Simon, the good, the scared, and the ugly.

   ***

   Tags shouldn’t really change, just keep in mind that some of the things in the tags won’t show up in the body of the fic for a good while.
   Smut starts from chapter 11 7
   Fic should update once a week Wednesday, Saturday/Sunday :]
