    Summary

    Chishiya’s hands stilled. ‘Tell me, then,’ he began, ‘what meaning could you possibly find in books that you couldn’t find here? Every game you play pushes you to the edge of survival. There is no more meaning to life than that.’ He paused, looking me coldly in the eye. ‘When you used my taser on the tagger… when she died simply because you lived… where were your books then?’

    Summary

    König suffers from PTSD. It, unfortunately, goes hand in hand with his everyday anxieties. Makes them play against each other in ways that wreak havoc in his head. On loan to the 141 from KorTac, König has an attack after a botched mission. In his blind panic, he latches onto the only soldier who showed him kindness since he left his own base, Sergeant John 'Soap' MacTavish.

    Soap’s friendship becomes an anchor for König. He finds comfort and acceptance in his sweet words and actions. They quickly find themselves getting closer. After a night of drinking, they sleep with each other.

    And with that, comes a flood of hurdles.

    Soap is Ghost's boyfriend, and König finds himself in the furious soldier's warpath once he finds out. Despite their rough start, and Ghost's hatred for the man who's wormed his way into Soap's life, König gets wrapped up in a relationship with the couple. Ghost isn't happy, König is unsure how it will all work out, and Soap is just trying his best to keep the peace between them.

    Summary

    What Ghost gives Soap is companionship. Ghost doesn't treat anyone else the way he treats Soap, which makes him special. Soap adores his lieutenant beyond any words he could fathom, and secretly feeds off of knowing he's well taken care of. That night in Las Almas, Soap gained respect, trust, and even a small crush on his superior. One that, despite his desperate attempts against, only grows. Which is fairly problematic because Soap would rather die than lose everything he's gained with Task Force 141. With Ghost.

    The desire for Ghost drives Soap to dire straights, desperate to appease the itch deep in his bones. But there's something off about Ghost's behavior toward him. Soap can't tell if Ghost knows what he is doing to him, or if he's imagining things. Maybe he's one inch away from pushing too far.

    It's a dangerous, explosive game Soap plays in trying to be satisfied with what Ghost gives him already while desperately trying to find ways to ask for more and risk losing it all.

    EDIT: I went in to fix some grammatical errors and my oopsie on Aziz's name a few times.

    Summary

    Soap paused, picking up the pen. He looked over his list. Three columns, “yes”, “no”, and “maybe”. He pulled the paper close. Hesitating, he underlined a single item, then crossed out the rest of them one by one. When he finished, he looked back at Ghost, as if daring him to say something about it. When Ghost didn’t, Soap pushed the paper over, crossing his arms over his chest.

    Underlined was “kneeling” under “yes”, the only thing left on the page. It didn’t matter what the other “yes” items had been, they were very clearly in the “no” column now.

    Ghost forced himself not to feel frustrated, had to admit to himself that Soap might be the most challenging sub he had ever had assigned into one of his units.
