    Summary

    Ghost didn't do dating.
    Regardless of who you asked, the general opinion about Simon Riley was that he had been holding the title of The Most Unavailable Man in the World for at least fifteen years now.

    The thing is, Soap didn't ask.

    ~~~~~

    "Man, you are so stubborn with that mask." Soap shook his head.
    Ghost swallowed the grape before responding. "Why are you so obsessed with my face?"
    "I'm not... obsessed." Soap scoffed, his cheeks definitely flushed. "I'm just naturally curious. But hey, it's all teasing, I know you must have your reasons. Can't blame me for trying though, you're just so..." he made a vague gesture.
    "So... what?" Ghost slipped in another grape.
    "I don't know, erotically mysterious." Soap blurted out and Ghost choked on the fruit.

    Summary

    He looks at Soap's back for an exit wound and closes his eyes in relief when he sees it. If Ghost had to dig around for a bullet, he knows it'd kill him. He's only faintly confident that the bullet entered above his lung. The blood flow is slowing a little, but Soap is more alert than Ghost thinks he should be. That can't be good.

    "My gram made us go to church… learned ‘bout heaven…" Never mind. He's delirious. He must be.

    "Soap, stop talking." Ghost smacks Johnny’s hand as he flinches from the antiseptic sting and tries to push Ghost’s wrist away.

    "I've done this too long to go there… you think it's real?" Soap’s shaky exhale seems to echo around the room.

    "Johnny, please." The plea falls on deaf ears.

    Summary

    “So,” his younger sister asked, voice teasing, “any bonnie lasses in the military?”

     

    The opportunity had been perfect. It had felt like the universe was throwing him a lowball and telling him to go for it.

     

    “Well,” Soap drawled out, twirling the fork in his hands. “Not any lasses, necessarily.”

     

    The table quickly descended into silence, the ancillary conversations abruptly halting.

     

    A pit started to form in Soap’s stomach as he realized he’d made a big mistake.
    ++
    Soap comes out to his family, and it doesn't go over well. Luckily, Ghost is there to help him back up.

    Summary

    Soundwave's banishment to the shadowzone has been bleak, uneventful and unending. He hasn't been able to contact Megatron or the Nemesis. He's low on fuel. If it weren't for the emotion-suppressing protocols he implemented before the war, he would be miserable.

    And then one day a dimension-hopping Rodimus falls into the shadowzone and offers him a way out.

    “You'll like the Lost Light,” said Rodimus. “Everyone gets a second chance, there. You wanna stay here forever?”
