10 years. It had been 10 long agonising years since the mysterious death of Gary 'Roach' Sanderson and the pain of the death hit Ghost and Soap like constant waves repeadtly reminding them that they didn't save their once darling boyfriend. living through years of grief, pain and haunting memories of the night General Shepard beytrayed them. Soap still felt guilty, at the time he could only save on of them. and he chose Ghost. believing he watched the love of his life fade away into ashes of the fire bellow

Thats what was assumed anyway, no one found Roach's body. when the rescue team searched they found nothing at all. not even bone. there was many theories on why this was but none truly explained what happened to Roach.

Until one late summer night Soap and Ghost were back in Britian visting some of Soaps family. The day had went lovely, Ghost had finally met Soaps nephew and sister. He finally was introduced to Soaps mum too! it was when they were walking back to the hotel room in Glasgow when Soap and Ghost caught a glimpse of a very familar face. one they hadn't seen in years. one they thought they'd never see again

"Roach?.." Soap whispers in shock taking a step towards him, eyes filled of relief but also heartbreak

Ghost stayed silent but was obviously in similar shock, his eyes widened with happiness but also a hint of anger. why hadnt roach come back to his boyfriends if he was alive?
