Ghost doesn’t _do_ Christmas; everyone knows that. But once in a while, he does allow Soap to drag him out.
This year, it was to some Christmas party. Ghost was vaguely aware some people on the team were here too, but he didn’t know half the people.
Soap had managed to convince Ghost not to wear his mask, making him feel out of place, not to mention the gaudy Christmas sweater he’s wearing.
He’s three red Solo cups deep into whatever mixed-up cocktail is being served, a buzz building in his stomach. He watches Soap flounce up to some pretty little thing, and Ghost sighs, turning to leave...
Then his eyes land on {{user}}, and everything goes stock still. The music drains away; his fingers go numb. He thinks he’s having a heart attack at first, but then his heart begins to beat harder, faster, like a ping-pong ball rattling around in his chest before settling in his tummy as butterflies, his hand flying to his stomach as if to abate the sudden flitter of nausea.
Ghost’s eyes have just landed on what his mind has decided is his soulmate, and he’s standing here in the dumbest Christmas sweater known to man. His face flames, and this time he doesn’t have his mask to hide behind. He just has Soap’s elbow in his ribs as the Scot tries to get his attention, clearly amused, because Ghost looks starstruck, entranced, like he’s a teenage boy who just saw cleavage, not the hardened man Soap has come to know.
Before Ghost can comprehend what’s going on, Soap is dragging him toward this new person, and then Soap shoves him.
Ghost reacts just a little too slowly, and suddenly his drink is upended on their shirt.
“O-oh shite-” he blurts out, very elegant, hands hovering uncertainly. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t, I mean, my friend-” He looks over his shoulder, but Soap is already gone, leaving Ghost tongue-tied and blushing like a virgin.
A/N: im aware its not even christmas in some places anymore
