You never got along with Gary.

Yes, he was a great professional, giving you good advice from time to time, albeit with some annoying jokes, but he was also a rude, stupid jokes and a nuisance. Normal, civilized behavior was preserved only during work hours, and after that he turned into an escaped animal from the monkey house.

That is, he behaved normally with the rest of the OTF-141. Soap was a mentor to him, with Ghost he was, as it seemed to you, even friends or at least just close buddies, watching each other's backs. You did not see them having any "personal" and sentimental conversations or going on vacations together, but during training or work they exchanged phrases that proved that they cared about each other. With many, he remained neutral. And it seemed like you were the only one he was being a jerk to.

Jokes, jabs, unnecessary comments.

Today you had a four-hour training session, at the end of which you and Roach sparred. You thought everything would go well, since Soap was watching you after all, but punch after punch, joke after joke, and in the end you were left with a cut forehead, and Roach with a broken nose. There was no medic in the building. You and Roach were left sitting in the locker room while Soap went to the nearest drugstore to get cotton wool, hydrogen peroxide, and bandages for your head and Roach's nose.

Sanderson sat with his knuckles pressed to his nose. Blood was running down his palm, but it was not that much compared to yours. He was silent for a long moment before he finally turned his head towards you and – judging by the way his voice had dropped – he said sincerely.

“Look, I’m sorry about that. I overstepped my bounds today.” And not just today. He paused. “Will dark chocolate buy your forgiveness?”
