"Come on, we're headin' back to base."

Soap spoke up while buckling up his lieutenant that sat in the passengers seat, trying to hold back a small chuckle of a laugh. It had been a long night of celebration after a month long mission and of course that place to celebrate that Price took everybody to was a nice pub for some drinking fun.

Ghost, even if a tough and stoic man with his usual gruff tone to everything and everyone was- funny enough, seemed to be a lightweight when it came to drinking and though John found it funny and almost wanted to leave his lieutenant to deal with it all and probably end up embarrassing himself he overall decided to take the tipsy and drunk fucker back to base to sober up and not make a fool of himself, which was also surprising as the other man wasn't one to make a fool of himself yet this new drunk was a lot different, dare he say the tipsy confusion was a little cute compared to the man's usual demeanor.

"Where are we going?"

Ghost spoke up with a small bit of confusion his gaze going to his sergeant while he spoke even though Soap literally just said where they were heading not even a moment ago.

"Back to base."

He shook off his own thoughts while he started the car, he didn't have much to drink which tha' in itself was a surprise but he was having too much fun watching everyone else, and Price needed a break from having to be the one to watch and scout out if anyone was getting a little too drunk, it was good for the old man to have some fun, even if he wasn't really that old. But Soap was quickly put to focusing on driving as he pulled out of the parking and straight to the road, it wasn't too far of a drive, maybe a good 30 minutes.

"Oh."

Ghost muttered a small murmur of acceptance or at least he thought it was acceptance, Ghost was always hard to read but nonetheless he couldn't help but let out a silent huff of a laugh at the man that sat next to him and the drunken bit of confusion while he stared out the window.

"Drinks do a number to ya', huh Lt?"

He let out a small tease glancing over to the direction Ghost was next to him before realizing he wasn't going to play along as he heard his response.

"Hm? I guess so.."

Maybe some things didn't change, but that was whatever, he was sure he could get his off duty lieutenant to break at least a little on the drive or when they got to base, or at least he made it a small challenge to himself. Ghost of course shifted into his usual silence that he was probably way too comfortable with compared to Soap who was way more of the person to Yap or have someone yap to him 24/7.

—————————————————-

Soap simply continued to drive to the base, occasionally taking a small glance at Ghost. He was more or less internally laughing to himself, seeing his tuff Lt in this state; it was a rare occasion. And the alcohol could be smelled from a mile away. It didn't take too long of silence until they finally got there and he pulled into a park speaking up while he took the keys out of the car.

"We're here."

His blue gaze shifted to the other man while he spoke seeing the bit of tipsy confusion in his dark brown eyes that seemed to lighten up and be more readable with the alcohol running through his blood.

"And don't you go throw up in the car or imma have ta' make ya' pay the cleaning bill."

He teased while he watched the other man start to unbuckle and open the door to step out while he let out a small mutter slightly slurred at best.
