Waiting for Connection 8 / Ghost x Soap NerdAU

Ghost is retired and plays milsim videogame. Soap is still in the force and sometimes plays that same videogame...

This is a bit of a mid-chapter, there will be a full chapter today as well - Soap and Ghost finally meeting face to face - but this was just... way too fun to write not to share.

Previous chapter | AO3

“Sooo,” Gary drags the chair closer, causing it to screech on the floor, earning several annoyed grunts from the other soldiers in the rec room. Soap looks up from his sketchbook, eyebrow questioningly raised. “Gonna confess, or do I have to work for it?”

“What are you on about, Roach?” Soap puts the sketchbook down before reaching for the mug on the table. He takes a sip, grimacing at the taste of the coffee.

“Ghost,” Roach clarifies.

Soap sighs; he should’ve seen this coming. “What about him?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Gary stares at him in disbelief, “how about you being totally smitten with him? Or the fact that he seems to be equally smitten with you?”

“What the hell? What are you talking about?” Soap straightens, brows knitted together and posture clearly defensive.

“Mate…,” Gary shakes his head. “Alright. Let’s not address your obvious crush on a man you’ve never even seen.”

“Gonna see him on Saturday,” Soap says and belatedly realises he just gave Roach a bloody bazooka.

Gary stares at him for a second, wide-eyed, before his face blooms into a shit-eating grin. “Are you, now?”

Soap runs a hand through his mohawk. Well, in for a penny and all that, he thinks. “Aye. It’s along the way to Glasgow. We’re just going to grab a pint or two, and I’ll be on my way.” He doesn’t mention that he usually takes a plane to Glasgow. He is actually going out of his way to see Ghost. But Roach definitely doesn’t need to know that.

“John…,” Gary leans to John, suddenly much more serious, “when was the last time you had friends outside the military?”

“He’s ex-military,” Soap objects.

“Answer the question, Sergeant,” Roach presses on.

Soap squirms a little, gaze dropping on the table. “Before I enlisted.”

“I’m not trying to talk you out of it, mate, just… be careful, alright?”

“I’m SAS, Roach,” Soap says a little defensively. He doesn’t need Roach to babysit him.

“I’m not talking about your physical safety. Anyway… we should also talk about that callsign of his.”

“It’s just a nickname for the game,” Soap shrugs.

“Jesus wept… remind me never to let you have my six again! You would probably shoot me in the back yourself, what with how daft you are! Look, I’ve spent one evening playing a stupid game with him to see that he owns that callsign. So either he’s a pretentious prick who took a callsign of only one of the fucking legends of SAS, or…,” Roach trails off, gesturing for Soap to draw his own conclusions.

“Yer not serious… he’s not…,” Soap shakes his head, “he can’t be…,” then he looks up at Garry with something akin to panic in his eyes. “Can he?”

Lieutenant Kyle “Gaz” Garrick was enjoying his book in the rec room in peace. Until he heard a single word uttered that dragged his attention from the words on the paper to words spoken not far from him. That word being, of course, Ghost.

Gaz doesn’t want to eavesdrop on his men, but it’s hard to let go once the callsign registers. And so he listens, and the more he hears, the harder it is to keep quiet and low-key. When Ghost asked to meet, Kyle knew something was up, especially since he was willing to come to London.

At first, Gaz thought it was just Ghost being paranoid and overly cautious about someone he had spent more than ten minutes with, which was pretty normal for Ghost. But the glint in his eyes when Gaz confirmed Soap is SAS? The momentary panic when Gaz implied Ghost likes Soap? Knowing what he knows now, Gaz can barely keep his face straight. Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

When John pauses to think whether Ghost can really be The Ghost, Kyle gets up and leaves the room. Gaz is really proud of himself because he manages to get all the way outside the building before he breaks into laughter. A bunch of recruits and some lower officers look at him with some bewilderment before scurrying away.

roach . starts crying

[mayflora-18]

I don��t know if you guys could tell from my previous likes so far, but Roach is my favorite character in Call of Duty and most certainly my comfort character.

I don’t know what I find more infuriating: that pornstache Shepherd killed him and Ghost in the original game and then proceeded to light them on fire, or that Roach has yet to make an appearance in the reboot! Grrr!!

Truth be told, the only reason - and I mean the only reason - I got into CoD was because I was scrolling through YouTube looking for nightcore cover songs to role play to and I found one with the background being Ghost when he was talking to Laswell about the missiles he and Soap found. You know, like this:

And since I have a weird fascination with skulls, I was like “hot soldier with a skull face? I must have more!!” After that I found out who he was and fell into the Ghost x Soap fanfic rabbit hole on Twitter where I proceeded to question my sexuality while I was working. I eventually came out the other end at Archive of Our Own, or AO3 for short.

I saw some mentions of a character called “Roach” and thought for some reason that I could find him on YouTube? Anyway, I made the mistake of clicking on the first video I saw, which showed Ghost and Roach getting shot by Shepherd, thrown in a ditch, and lit on fire while Price was trying to warn them over the comms. Not gonna lie, I came very close to crying. I wanted to, but I couldn’t (darn my internet-induced desensitization 😡)

So I was working on my Call of Duty OC and I thought to myself “she don’t need no man!” And then I read “Fire Meets Gasoline” by Red_Clegane on AO3 and I was like “but she’s gonna want that one!” (18+ plz don’t read if you’re a minor)

I thought that before I make something happen between these two, I should at least learn about the man first.

For a while I was kicking myself for being all “it’s not fair that he’s fictional and my boyfriend is a heckin’ saint I’M SUCH A DESPICABLE HUMAN BEING!” I quickly recovered when 1.) I found cute headcannons of roach x reader that made me almost melt and 2.) I realized that since I have made my OC’s personality so close to mine, regardless of who Roach would be with, both of us would be the Mitsuri to his Obanai. And if you don’t know who I’m talking about:

Mitsuri Kanroji ⬇️ and Obanai Iguro ⬇️ (Demon Slayer). ⬇️ ⬇️

So yeah, now I love him.

Thanks for reading guys! Have a good rest of your day!!

Edit: no pressure tag @redclegane

Simon would love a little freak (affectionate) of a partner. Like you collect weird things, like taxidermy or bones? Say less, babes. He's getting you an animal skull for your birthday.

Is your thing clowns? Man is scouring the internet for some obscure clown clock because you saw it on Ebay once and complained about the price.

You likes bugs? Great, he's got a friend named Roach. Y'all be freaks (affectionate) together. But also he's building you a butterfly garden, or buying you a pet spider, or whatever.

It doesn't even have to be weird. You could just really like the ocean, or horses, or whatever. And I just realized what I'm getting at is that Simon would love a neurodivergent partner...

And he would!! He'd listen to you ramble and rant, and he'd be making a mental list of things to look for when he buys you presents. You could be hyperfixated on literally anything, and Simon would find a way to get you a present related to that interest. This man would move heaven and earth, if it meant making you happy.

How do I imagine the GRS dynamic🤨? Well quite simply you see *proceeds to give you a 10 hour essay about it*

1º pic is how I love to imagine Ghost and Roach's dynamic, quite clingy to each other

2º pic - Soap and Roach are that duo that cannot be left unsupervised for more than 30 seconds - Ghost is their third wheel ALWAYS

3º pic -It says "Taking your bf on a date. Get fucked xoxo" while Roach looks evily to the camera with a middle finger and Soap is doing a peace sign. Ghost is looking very sadly to his phone.

Roach is the kind of best friend to take Soap on dates and kiss Soap just to spite Ghost
