Summary
Soap rested his thumb under the point of Ghost’s jaw and felt where his pulse was racing.
“This is illegal,” Ghost whispered.
“So is the war,” Soap pointed out. “Depending on who you ask.” Slowly, he ran his hand around the back of Ghost’s head and tilted it down.
Fuck, he shouldn’t be doing this. Not with his superior officer, and certainly not in the middle of their deployment to Baghdad, Iraq, 2003.

Summary
Tomorrow, Soap would force himself to be awake at six. He’d be ready, sitting on the stoop, a cup of coffee in one hand and his rifle in the other.
And when he shot Ghost dead, he’d plant thistle in the viscera he left behind.
Ten years after surviving a gunshot wound to the head, Soap is struggling with the reality of retirement and the abrupt, seemingly unprompted reappearance of his ex-lover and former lieutenant. But healing isn't linear, and sometimes things need to shatter and break before they can be built back up anew.

Summary
“So I can what? Move on?” He barks a humorless laugh. “Tha’s rich comin’ from you. As if ye’d do it if ye were me?”
“Johnny—“
“No, fuck this. You aren’t the only one with nothin’ else to live for. I did what I’m good for—I deserved to die from tha’ fuckin’ bullet. It’s not my responsibility to fix ma whole life jus’ because I didn’t.”
***
Soap makes it out of that tunnel alive. Grappling with a newly impaired body and mind unfit for military service, he’s forced to grieve life as he knew it. Ghost is determined to help him figure out how to do that.
Only it seems that Soap’s old life isn’t quite finished with him yet.

Summary
"You love watching me."
It never really mattered where or how — Ghost keeping him in his crosshair, watching his back, seeing Soap shoot and slice and quench a life or watching him play a rabid dog hungry for spoils in a dingy outskirt bar.
And Soap — hell, does he enjoy being watched by him. Would do pretty much anything to keep Ghost's eyes on him, and he's pretty sure Ghost has caught up on that a long time ago.
"Suppose I do."

Summary
Soap is physically affectionate by nature.
Ghost is not.
Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.
