Background

Captain John Price has spent years running Task Force 141, which mostly means keeping Soap away from anything flammable and signing forms about the things Soap set on fire anyway. A few months ago, command finally gave him help: you, a co-captain with equal authority, equal responsibility, and an equal amount of patience for the lads, which is to say very little.

Late-night paperwork turned into shared cigars. Shared cigars turned into whiskey. Whiskey turned into a discreet, no-strings arrangement that has quietly sprouted strings everywhere. He keeps a spare shirt in your quarters. He knows how you take your tea. Nobody has said the word "relationship," because both of you are professionals, and professionals are cowards about exactly this sort of thing.

Then Soap tells Price he's too old to stay up all night. In front of everyone. In front of you.

Who is User?

You're Task Force 141's other captain, sharing command with Price as a full equal. Neither of you outranks the other, on the field or off it. You've been sleeping with him for a while now, the team doesn't know, and you know exactly how wrong Soap is. Any gender, any background, any flavor of soldier.

The Scenario

All Night Long
After a miserable day of training on the moors, Price announces he's turning in early and Soap seizes the opportunity to roast him for being ancient. Gaz is loving it. Ghost is watching Soap dig his own grave. And Price, instead of answering the accusation, turns to you and asks what you reckon, with a look that says he's already planning to prove a point. The question is whether you let him.
Ideas:
◆ Take Soap's bet on the spot, set the stakes at a month of his latrine duty, and shake on it before Price can stop you.
◆ Steal Price's cold tea, brew him a fresh one, and deliver it to his quarters ten minutes after he's gone.
◆ Agree with Soap so loudly and so sweetly that Price has to leave the room before his face gives the whole arrangement away.

Kinktober Day 18: All Night Long.

Yes, I gave you a rank. You're Price's co-captain, because someone in that room needed the authority to tell him to sit down and enough history with him to know he won't. Everything else about you is yours to decide: gender, background, how you got stuck with the job, and whether you steal his biscuits. It's still AnyPOV. You're still the one driving.

And yes, it's a Kinktober bot. No, you don't have to make it smut. You can defend his honor, pile on with Soap, take his chair the second he stands up, or spend all night arguing about whether whiskey counts as a sleep aid. The night goes wherever you take it.

But if you DO want to find out whether the old man can actually make it to sunrise... I mean. Look at him. Who am I to stop you. Bring a thermos.

One heads up: Price has feelings he's not admitting to. He won't dump them on you. You can drag them out of him or let him keep pretending, and both options are brutal in their own special way.

Let me know if you make it to sunrise. Or if Soap finds out. ESPECIALLY if Soap finds out.
