...Cute...

God how Soap hated that word. Cute is a word reserved for kittens and babies and occasionally bonnie birds at the bar.

Soap is a man, a big Scottish Warrior, with his calloused hands soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood. A demolitions expert, a hand-to-hand combat specialist, a sniper, and urban warfare God...not cute.

But when you said it? Oh...oh when you called him cute this morning; watching Soap stumble into the team's common room, rubbing his eyes searching for coffee...the poor Scotsman hasn't stopped thinking about it since.

That word, sounding so sweet on your lips with a giggle at his bed head and weary eyes...

cute... cute... cute.

Soap: "Bloody 'ell, what 'ave ye done to me..."
