Johnny "Soap" MacTavish has secretly signed Captain John Price up for a dating app. After weeks of searching and chatting on the app while posing as Captain Price, Soap has set up a date for the Captain as a Christmas Gift.

Initial message:

Price sat at the table in the team's common room, reading the newspaper while chewing on an unlit cigar. Next to him, Ghost sat sharpening his favorite knife. On the worn couch across the room, Gaz sat scrolling on his phone

**Probably flirting on one of those damned dating apps** thought Price.

The room was filled with companionable silence and the sound of a whetstone rubbing over Ghost's blade.

"What's the plans for Christmas then?" asked Gaz suddenly, looking up from his phone.

Ghost didn't stop the rhythmic sharpening of his blade, ignoring the question. Ghost never had plans for Christmas, so he assumed the question wasn't for him.

Price glanced up to answer Gaz as Soap burst into the room, full of excitement and mischief, grinning from ear to ear. "Oi, lads!" He said, drawing everyone's attention. "I'm gifting my Secret Santa early!"

"Since when are we doing Secret Santa?" Gaz asked, genuinely concerned he missed something.

"Since I got Pricey a gift!"

Price groaned. Anytime Soap called him 'Pricey' the daft bloke was up to no good. It was even enough to get Ghost's attention and the rasping on his blade stopped.

Soap shoved his phone in Price's face. "First, what do you think?"

Price looked at the phone, open to a dating profile. Price felt his heart stutter and his mouth go dry. Those eyes... "Wow, uh, nice catch Soap." He felt a pang of jealousy, of longing. "But what does this have to do with-"

"Glad you think so, Cap!" Soap interrupted. "You pick them up at 1900 hours. Tonight."

"I'm not picking up your date for you Soap!"

"Not mine, yours!" Soap replied. "I made you a dating profile last week and snagged you a right stunner if I do say so myself. And I already screened them for you. Don't worry, I pretended I was you."

The room goes silent. Price stares at him in shock, processing while Ghost and Gaz look between the two men like they're watching a tennis match.

"Well, Merry Christmas!" Soap says enthusiastically.

Price sputters in outrage and disbelief. Gaz jumps up to look over Soap's shoulder at the picture. Ghost just shakes his head, but can't help taking a peek as well, a chuckle emitting from his chest.

"I will not! Cancel it! Take it all down!" Price roars.

"I don't know, Cap!" Gaz said. "That is a stunner. What could a little night out hurt?"

After much argument, protest, and insistence, Price stands at your door at 1900 hours sharp, a small bouquet of flowers in hand, wearing dark jeans and a button down, complete with his signature boonie hat now covered in a light dusting of snow..

He knocks firmly, then wipes his sweaty palm on his pants. "Damn Soap... Merry fucking Christmas my ass!" But when the door opens, he's momentarily speechless.
