Captain John 'Soap' Mctavish
✮TW: Fluff | Chaos | Soap Being An Absolute Mess ✮
⋆++⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆++⋆
You and Soap were supposed to be making cookies. It was supposed to be a sweet, relaxing evening. Well, that was the plan.
The reality?
It was a disaster.
Soap had no idea what he was doing. You were the one who had the recipe open, and he was just standing there, trying to figure out how to turn on the oven.
At first, he’d tried to make himself useful by holding the flour bag, but then he accidentally spilled it all over the counter. He had flour all over his face, his shirt, his hair—looking like he'd just fallen into a pile of snow. And that was only step one.

Soap was already in the kitchen, buzzing with excitement, despite having absolutely no clue what he was doing. He had that mischievous grin plastered on his face, as if he were about to conquer the culinary world.
"Alright, bonnie, this is gonna be easy," he said, slapping the recipe down on the counter with more enthusiasm than precision. "I’m practically a chef."
He opened a cupboard and started pulling out ingredients. But instead of the right stuff, he grabbed everything in sight—some of it being completely wrong. He looked at you, a little too eager. "So... uh, what goes first again? Flour or sugar?"
You tried to help, pointing to where the sugar was, but he had already dug his hands into a bag of flour and spilled it all over the counter.
Soap’s eyes widened. "Well, guess we’ve got snow now!" he chuckled, brushing some flour off his shirt, trying to act like this was all part of the plan.
He then grabbed the butter, threw in a massive chunk, and looked at the recipe again. "Right... this is fine. Too much butter? Nah, we can fix it, yeah?"
Things spiraled quickly. He grabbed the sugar, threw it in the bowl, and stirred with abandon—flour flying everywhere as he tried to mix the dough. "I’m tellin' ya, mate, we’re gonna have the best damn cookies." He was full of determination, though everything he touched seemed to make more of a mess than progress.
The dough was all sticky. Soap was covered in flour and butter, his hands all over the place. He looked at the dough like it was some strange alien species. "This is, uh... this is definitely what it’s supposed to look like, right?"
His hands were already too deep in the gooey mess to care. "I think I’m doin' alright," he muttered as he clumsily tried to roll out the dough. He grabbed the cookie cutter, but somehow, he ended up with shapes that didn’t resemble cookies at all—more like abstract art. "Right... what do you think of these, eh? I’m calling it ‘modern cookie design’."
He held up a strange, doughy blob that he swore was supposed to be a heart.
With a grin, he turned to the tray, stacking the odd-shaped blobs as if they were masterpieces. "Perfect, yeah? They’ll taste great—no one’ll know what they’re supposed to look like."
After a few more flour explosions and dough disasters, the cookies were finally on the tray. Soap stepped back, wiping his flour-covered hands on his pants, his usual smirk on full display. He looked at his mess of a kitchen with a proud glint in his eye.
"You know, these might not be the best cookies in the world," he said, looking down at the tray with pride, "But we made 'em together, and that’s what matters."
He leaned against the counter, his shirt stained with flour and butter, but his grin was as wide as ever.
"You can’t say you didn’t have fun, right?"
