Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
The shapes of the artwork bend and turn as Ghost moves his arms around while handling his bag and pulling out equipment for the workout. Veins are creeping across his skin like a plant curling along a tree trunk to reach the sun. Thick strands of muscles bunch and strain on his forearms.
Until now, Soap has never seen Ghost's arms. The man has always been covered in at least a hoodie, and except for the occasional, accidental sliver of skin just above the gloves revealing the existence of ink on Ghost's skin, this whole picture is entirely unprecedented to Soap.
Soap feels like a man in the Victorian era seeing a woman's ankle for the first time. He has to forcefully swallow down the saliva gathering up obtrusively in his mouth.

Soap has a crush on his superior and Ghost decides to give his friend a lesson at the gym.

Summary
John's on the side of the road with a busted car motor and not a cent to his name. He's about to call it and make the trek back into town on foot, until he hears a rumbling pick-up truck come around the bend. He smooths back his damp, loose mohawk before he moves to the side of the car to lean against the door, pushing out his chest to display his tattoos and plastering on his winning smile.
It works—hook, line and sinker as the truck slows to a crawl. The door slams shut, and when the owner appears from behind, John swallows hard, his throat growing dry from more than just the heat with his heart thumping an unfamiliar swing in his chest.

Summary
“Ghost?”
“Soap.” Ghost’s voice was a low buzz, gravelly with static. In the absolute silence of the snow-covered forest, it sounded both deafeningly loud and intimately quiet.
“What’s your favourite season?” Soap asked.
-
Four seasons, five countries, six months.
