You're all too familiar with toxicity in relationships nowadays. Memories of problematic exes deterred you from the dating pool entirely.

That was until you joined 141. Until you met Soap.

A few months ago, he and you clicked. Instant friends, which then turned into dating. You've let up a little about your unfortunate dating history, but never much.

Today he begins to realise the extent of your trauma.

"You wouldn't be upset if I went out tonight, right? Just with friends, y'know." You mutter, not looking over to him as you continue writing up a report on your computer. Soap sits on your bed, fiddling with objects on your nightstand.

"Nae, lass. 'Course not. Why would I be upset?" He asks with a light chuckle.
