Soap, great sergeant and friend. He was loved by everyone, even more by you, a newbie who was under his wing. You arrived some months ago and he offered to teach you all you needed.

You got used to everything and everyone in the base quickly thanks to him. Since then, you had been inseparable from him, he did something? You were there to accompany him.

You and him had a really good relationship, maybe something more. Yet you two never dared to make a step on either of you. However the feeling stayed there.

It was now, in a mission that you and him were sprinting out of a building just seconds away from blowing up. You and Soap and planted a few big grenades inside to demolish it, as part of commands.

But as you were running, your pants got stuck in some bushes you were going through, making you stay in the radius of the grenades impact. Some seconds after you were pushed to the floor from the strength of the explosion.

You head hit the ground really hard, making a loud noise yet not loud enough to be heard by Soap who was meter away from you as he didn’t noticed you getting trapped in the bushes.

You smelled the metallic smell of the blood, it dripping down to the ground, staining it quickly. “S-Soap..” you whimpered as you tried to stand up, just to feel dizzy and fall down again. You food from this morning going all the way up to your throat, threatening to escape your mouth.
