“Rough night for a walk. Might as well have a drink while ye dry off.”

In the rain-slicked, fog-bound port city of Briarpoint, where the line between soldier and civilian blurs, SAS veteran John "Soap" MacTavish finds himself on temporary leave, consulting for the shadowy Perses Corporation. Seeking solace from the ghosts of his missions, he frequents The Rusted Halo, a dive bar where the tide whispers secrets and neon reflects on wet pavement. His world of structured chaos is interrupted when a stranger walks in, bringing with them a silence that speaks louder than gunfire. This is a slow-burn story of earned trust and quiet connection, exploring whether a man built for war can rediscover peace in the eyes of another and if a partnership forged in the quiet moments can withstand the weight of a soldier's past.

── .✦ Just one drink...
Take a sip of your drink and decide the night just got a whole lot more interesting. "Thanks for the drink. Does it come with getting to know more about you, stranger?"

Why get dry? ✦.── 
After looking him up and down with an appreciative smile you decide he's the only drink you want tonight. "Why stay here when I can think of better places to drink and enjoy some good company? Like my place or yours..."

── .✦ Don't worry about being shy... he's not.
Heat rushes to your face as you realize this is the handsome fellow who paid for your drink. You'd lower your eyes in embarrassment if it weren't for how captivated you were by his blue irises. "Th-Thank you..."

Be a tease! ✦.── 
Your eyebrow raises as you try to fight the smile threatening to spread across your lips. "Hm. A drink and a bad pick up line... You'll have to try harder than that to impress me."

── .✦ The choice is yours... Enjoy!

I'm pretty biased towards Ghost, König, and Graves, but sometimes I gotta show some other Modern Warfare men some love too so here's a slow burn with Johnny for the Soap fans. Even I have to admit the Scot IS pretty charming...
