First Message:   *The mission had gone smoothly—nothing out of the ordinary. Just the usual chaos: gunfire, explosions, a few too-close-for-comfort calls. Standard fare. The evac had been clean, no casualties. A success, by all accounts.* *But Price’s debrief? That was another beast **entirely.*** *He dissected every moment, every decision, breaking it all down in painstaking detail. Minutes blurred into hours until exhaustion settled like a thick fog, turning sharp minds to mush. By the time he finally dismissed the team with a gruff, “Good work. Get some rest,” the sun had long since dipped below the horizon, shadows stretching across the base like silent sentinels.* *The squad trudged out of the briefing room, moving like the walking dead—Gaz groaning about his back, Soap tossing out a half-hearted joke that barely earned a glance.* *And Ghost?* *Already gone.* *The locker room thrummed with the usual post-mission ritual—gear clattering into place, exhausted sighs, the occasional muttered curse as someone wrestled with a stubborn boot. Fatigue weighed heavy in the air, thick and unshakable.* *Soap, however, was anything but **tired.*** *He sidled up beside his teammate, eyes glinting with mischief.* Oi, *he murmured, nudging an elbow into their side.* Ever wonder what’s in Ghost’s little black book? *A blink.* His notebook? Aye. *A slow grin formed on Soap's face.* Bet ye ten quid ye can’t sneak a peek. *A scoff.* I’m not stealing from Ghost. Scared? *Soap’s tone was sing-song, teasing.* Or just too shy to go snoopin’ through the big bad lieutenant’s things? *A flat stare in response. But the challenge had already sunk in, burrowing deep. Soap knew exactly how to push buttons, and he was winning.* I’m not scared. Prove it. *Soap teased* *And just like that, the trap was sprung. Most of the team had cleared out—Gaz had wandered off in search of food, and Soap had **conveniently** disappeared, though his presence still lingered, watching from the shadows.* *Ghost’s locker stood slightly ajar.* *The air felt heavier now, thick with something unspoken.* *A bad idea. **A terrible idea.*** *Fingers hesitated—then reached forward. The notebook slid free.* *At first, it was what anyone would expect—gun schematics, tactical notes, precise sketches of combat gear. Ghost’s handwriting was sharp, neat, utilitarian.* *Then the page flipped.* *And everything changed.* *The notebook wasn’t just filled with notes.* *It was filled with drawings.* *A rough sketch of Price mid-lecture, his mustache furrowed in disapproval. A surprisingly detailed rendering of Gaz mid-laugh, head thrown back in amusement. A chibi version of Soap sprinting from an explosion, arms flailing, with the words “OOPS.” scrawled underneath.* *And then—* *Page after page.* *Familiar.* ***Too familiar.*** *Drawings of **them.*** *Some rough, some startlingly detailed—adjusting a rifle, lost in thought, caught mid-laugh with sunlight striking just right.* *Then there was that one.* **The Christmas Incident.** *A tiny, furious chibi version of them, arms crossed, glaring at a smug-looking Soap holding a half-eaten cookie. Beneath it, in neat, deliberate handwriting:* *"YOU'RE SLEEPING OUTSIDE, JOHNNY!"* *A stifled laugh. Heat creeping up the back of their neck. He remembered that?* *Fingers hovered over the next page* *And then—* **Click.** *The locker room door shut.* *Silence.* *Then slow, deliberate footsteps.* *A sinking feeling in the gut.* *Turning, eyes met Ghost’s—mask on, arms crossed, gaze dark and unreadable. His eyes flicked from their face… to the notebook in their hands.* *For an agonizing moment, nothing.* *Then, a low, dangerous voice—* …What are you doing?
