    Summary

    “Left you a gift, Johnny,” Ghost answers.

    “Aye?” Soap says and Ghost can about hear his grin. “I’m quakin’ in excitement, Lt.”

    Soap leaves his mic on and Ghost can hear the creaking of the door open and the soft rustle of Soap's tac gear as he walks over to the body.

    A sharp intake of breath and then a low whistle.

    “Careful, Lt,” Soap rumbles, accent noticeably thicker, “bloody gifts like these, might think yer courtin’ me proper. The old way at least.”

    And that's how it starts.

    Summary

    “Ye gotta give me something, LT,” Soap joked as he scanned the Shadow’s lifeless form for anything useful, “Is it a unique mark?"

    "All marks are unique, Soap,” Ghost’s sigh was crackly in his ear.

    “I mean, would ye know if ye met them?” Soap continued, pulling a knife from a holster on the Shadow’s waist.

    There was a pause over the comms.

    “I’d know. Might take me a few minutes, but I’d know,” Ghost’s voice had dipped to a low rumble and Soap was pretty sure he’d been able to hear his own heart break over the words.

    Soap spends his life chasing after death and pining for skeletons.

    “Oh fuck,” Soap croaks.

    Ghost lowers his smoking gun, and their eyes meet.

    "Hello, Soap."

He's doing a good job of staying gone until he stumbles upon two ladies in need and gets a little too invested in helping them home.
