Soap ×Ghost

Chapter 39

-ghost's Pov-

I fell asleep cuddling soap. And I smiled softly as I fell asleep feeling the warmth of soap laid next to me.

-------------------flashback----------------

I woke up in a bed that wasn't the one in my military room. This one was small and didn't have any wallpaper on it. The bed was uncomfortable and hard.

I got out of bed and my heart missed a beat when instead of stepping out of bed I fell out of bed.

Why was I so short now?

I started to walk but it was more of a waddle. I stepped to the mirror but I could only see my eyes as I was too short. I climbed onto a chair and looked at myself in the mirror. I was small, the size of a four year old. Then I remembered I had been here before.

This was my house in Manchester, the one I lived in when I was a child. I heard my brother Tommy running downstairs.

I waddled out of my room and slowly went downstairs and I suddenly had no control of my body. "Daddy! Daddy! Happy father's day!" Tommy yelled as he gave our dad a gift.

My four year old body started to waddle into the garden and I waddled to some flowers. I picked up one and quickly waddled back inside.

"Papa!" I called waddling towards my dad. He glared at me. "What do you want brat?" He spat at me.

I presented the flower to him "happy father's day papa!" I said happily. A look of pure rage was on my dad's face. He slapped the flower out of my hands "why would you even think that I would want a stupid flower! God you're such a stupid brat!" My dad yelled at me.

I ran to my room crying. I climbed into my bed and laid there crying my eyes out. I could hear my little brother Tommy laughing at me.

-------------------present day-------------

I woke up in a cold sweat. I was shaking. "J... Johnny..." I whispered "wake up please". Soap stirred slightly and he opened his eyes and looked at me. "What's wrong Simon?" He whispered. I was still shaking like a leaf. "I had a flashback..." I whispered. He sat up and cuddled me. "Shh I'm here everything is okay it wasn't real just a flashback your safe" he whispered into my ear.

We had fallen asleep again and I kept him close to me.

-------------------time skip-----------------

I woke up and I was crying. "Oh Simon...." I heard Soap whisper. I wiped my eyes with my hands then looked at him. "I'm fine..." I whispered softly.

We both got up and started to get changed. Soap was putting some clean pants on. I grabbed him around the waist and pulled him to me, he put his hands on my chest and looked at me confused.

"Does it bother you that I'm a broken man?" I asked him. He looked shocked at my question then the look of shock turned to sympathy. "It doesn't bother me at all L.t" he said caressing my cheek.

I hugged him tightly. "You sure? Most people wouldn't want a broken man like me..." I whispered. He ran a hand through my hair. "I don't care if you're a broken man or not. You're human even if you have some trauma" he whispered.

We walked into the mess hall and sat with our team and started to eat breakfast.

-------------------time skip-----------------

I was in a meeting and I was zoned out and the voices of my team were muffled.

"Ghost?" A voice called out to me "Ghost? Are you listening to me?" I looked up as I was if I had been pulled out of a trance. "Huh? Yeah I'm listening" I said looking at Price.

-------------------time skip-----------------

We had just returned from the mission and I was exhausted and I just wanted to sleep. I grabbed soap who was talking to Gaz and dragged him to bed and we fell asleep nearly instantly.
