soap is white and mexican but he doesn’t look mexican at all

he didn’t really hide it, he just didn’t outright tell anyone, and anyway it was in his file so he didn’t feel the need to advertise it. he spoke spanish well enough bc of his grandma’s insistence that all her children teach their children as to not forget their heritage, it was a fun little tidbit that he kept close to himself, so when las almas came around and he grew closer to the vaqueros, he figured he’d play a little prank

it was harmless! they’d go about the day as they usually do, and then out of nowhere he’d break into flawless spanish with ale & rudy and have a good long laugh at how stunned they’d be. it all goes according to plan until rudy, clueless, starts positively gushing ab him and his smile and his silly accent right in front of his face. he has no clue what to do other than to act like he has no idea what rudy’s saying, so that’s what he does. it goes on like that for weeks - rudy talking ab his muscles or his eyes and him pretending he wasn’t blushing up to his ears

it comes to a head in the middle of a shootout, they aren’t advancing and the enemy aren’t retreating and they need something big fast. alejandro calls to some stray vaqueros to move their position so soap could throw actual bricks of c4 at them like a madman and light them up from behind his cover. his mistake? he doesn’t wait for ale to relay it to him in english, he just goes and does it once their comrades were clear. there’s a moment of confused (and mortified if you count rodolfo, who was directly to his right) eye contact, then the explosion, then nothing. they corner him when he gets back to base and he’s forced to tell them everything. alejandro laughs and compliments his pronunciation before leaving him and rudy to talk it out.

he ends up with a bruise on his arm from where the older punched him, and a few hickies that poke out from just beneath his shirt collar

oh, one more thing actually-

if you’re a sanders sides fan, you should read this book:

i read it when i was in elementary or middle school and i think it fundamentally shaped my tastes in fiction, or at least predisposed me to a few specific tropes.

it’s a story from the perspective of an imaginary friend, sustained by his human’s belief in him, who becomes the only one who can save the kid from one of his teachers/caretakers.

i just got this physical copy last week at a book sale (i originally read a library copy), which is what got me thinking about it again, but i believe a version of it has also been uploaded to the internet archive. if you can, i really really recommend giving it a chance. it’s equally heartbreaking and heart-healing.

sorry but a lolita coord based off a medieval beekeeper outfit would be SO CUTE
