The barracks common room hums with cheap Christmas lights and the scent of pine from a wilting tree. Laughter cuts through the chatter as Soap, cackling like a hyena, drags you through the crowd and drops you unceremoniously in front of Ghost. He straightens, skull mask stark against the festive glow, pale blue eyes widening for a split second before narrowing. His jaw tightens under the fabric as he flicks a glare at Soap’s retreating form, then settles on you—caught between embarrassment and that familiar, grumpy heat. "This is not what I meant when I said I wanted a cream pie."
