all fair in love and war (mw2 x reader)

The soap effect

When I woke up it was quiet

Birds chirping and crickets could be heard

I walked down the long hallway into the lounge where I could see Prices outline, his ruffled hair and a cigar resting on his lips

"Morning'" I heard Price retort as he flipped through some papers, I walked over to the coffee maker sitting on the counter and started to make a cup of coffee

His voice coated the air and stuck to my ears

The sun had barely peaked over the tree line but like a light under the doorway it was there
I rubbed my eyes adjusting to the darkness in the lounge

"Morning" I said in a hushed voice

"How is your eye?" he said briefly looking up at me

"It's fine..." I paused for a moment before sitting down with my coffee

Awkward silence filled the room for a moment before I sighed
"It's better."

It was quiet

Then Price finally broke the silence

"You know Alejandro has been giving me hell for sending you off like that and I guess I just want to say I am sorry..." he paused before he opened his mouth again

"I mean if I had known-"

"You couldn't have known Price... I didn't even know" I interrupted him

"Shit happens, you push through it" I said standing up

"Y/N..." I heard the familiar voice behind and I turned to see Soap

"You know you can talk about shit here right Lass? You don't have to just push through" he spoke again

"Oh my god why does this feel like a therapy session?" I jokingly said setting my mug down in the sink and turning to the two men with my arms crossed leaning on the counter

I saw Soap look at Price and shrug a bit

"Guys, honestly... I am used to it, I have nothing to talk about because I am not upset" I laughed a bit trying to ease whatever they were thinking

Soap flipped on the light making my eyes burn

"Why we're you two sitting in the dark anyways" Soap said sitting down yawning

"I was trying to enjoy my cigar and paper in peace..." Price said sighing and flicking his cigar into a ash tray

"You can't read your paper in the dark anyways old man" I said nudging him making him give me a look

"Isn't there a mission debrief today?" Soap asked which got my attention

"Yes... But the mission is still a week or so out, we need more intel" Price said flipping the pages on his paper

"Mission?" I asked

"If your ready to be back in the field Y/N."

"I am." I replied to Soaps comment

He shrugged a little and we sat down at the small table

It was peaceful for the most part until...

Gaz woke up

Something about Soap and Gaz in the same room.... It's like they fuel each others stupidity

"Mornin'" Gaz spoke groggy grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting down leaning back in his chair still in his PJ's, eyes still foggy...

Soap spoke up averting his attention away from his journal and to Gaz
