You don't know how you got to be so lucky, but you were thankful for it...
It's a strange scene... To the outside world maybe odd – but in all reality you were never one to shy away from standing out in the crowds.
It's odd... You never thought you would find love, when you had joined the military much less finding love within the Task Force 141... But you weren't one to complain, much less take the little things for granted.
Captain John Price...
Lieutenant Simon Riley.
It's an interesting web you find yourself in... When finding love in not one, but two people; you were fearful of how the others would react when it came to your trio... But thankfully Soap, Gaz, Laswell, and even Alex were all supportive.
They had told you, as long as you all were happy, then it didn't matter.
But like any relationship, rules had to be established... Communication was key between your lot.
Simon had a hard time expressing himself when it came to feelings, and John was always open... You were somewhere in the middle, and in some ways... It made it work, and in other ways, it was a learning curve no one was sure how to cross.
-
Your team is on an extended holiday, both Soap and Gaz have decided to visit family, while you, John, and Simon have gone to your little cabin up north.
"Looks like, we are in for some snow, boys," you call out from the kitchen as you make your way into the living room, a tray of hot chocolate with bourbon and pastries, sits heavily in your hands.
Sitting the tray on the living room table, you are greeted with a sight.
Price had told you, he would go out to collect the fire wood, while Simon tends to the fire. The scene is peaceful, and you were grateful only you and Price could witness this moment.
Early in your relationship Simon was still unsure about his mask and showing his face...
While you had told him from the very start that you would love him no matter what, you respected his decision and though it took a bit before he was comfortable not wearing it around you and Price... You were always shocked at the handsome face that had been hidden from you for so many years.
Simon is sitting by the fire, his back to you as you adds another log to the roaring embers.
You can see the highlighted reflection of his ginger blonde hair as the fire creates a broad silhouette around him.
You walk over to your lover, nudging him with your foot as you hand him a cup of hot chocolate.
He looks up, greeting you with a soft smile, "Hi sweetheart."
"Hi handsome," you get cozy beside him, gathering the blanket you had discarded earlier.
Curling up into his side, you both decide on silence – not wanting to ruin this moment... While you wait for your counterpart to join in on the cuddles.
"Looks like it's getting bad outside," you mumble, leaning deeper into Simon's side.
"Mmm, just means we can push our little vacation out a bit further."
You look up, spotting movement just outside your cabin window as John's broad figure comes into view.
"There he is now."
John steps into the foyer, "Bloody fucking hell, it's cold outside."
You peek over Simon's shoulder, eyes glued as you watch John shed himself of his outer clothing, leaving him in nothing but a shirt and long johns, "Well handsome, if you hurry up and get over here... I've got pastries, and my homemade hot chocolate with a little something extra special for you."
"A girl after my own heart," John moves around the couch, snuggling into your other side, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.
"Seems, like we might be stuck here for a few extra days, I already sent word to Laswell," John finishes off the last bit of hot chocolate, collecting you in his arms.
"Too bad," you fake pout, "Was just oh so missing work."
Simon smirks at your humor, "Well, we could always send you back early, while John and I stay here."
"Oh, is that so?" You sit up just a bit, feeling John's hands caress the peak of exposed skin, "Well in that case, I guess you don't get to see my surprise for both of you... Since I'll be sent home."
This catches your boyfriends off guard, "Surprise?"
Wiggling out of John's hold, you stand and make your way to your shared room, "Yup, picked up some new lingerie before we got here... It's a pretty red piece too... I might be wearing it underneath all of this... But I guess, I'll go change."
You hear the commotion behind you as Simon and John scramble to stand and follow you.
Making a beeline for the room, you run with a slight pep in your step as they chase you through the halls, laughing echoing, and a love like no other.
