Working in the military was hard—it was draining and exhausting for the mind, being put under so much stress with almost no downtime. The Captain seemed to have noticed a decline in efficiency on recent mission, so he had decided instead of more training, to give you guys a break.

Price had rented out a nice, large vacation house for the weekend. It was settled on the top of a high mountain, giving a glorious view of the lush forest beneath. It was equipped with a pool on the edge of the mountain, allowing to admire the view as you relaxed in the cool water.

After getting settled in your respective room, you quickly put on your swimsuit and quickly rushed out to the pool. It was a hotter day today, and you wanted to cool off as soon as possible. To your surprise, your sergeant was already in the water.

He leaned against the wall of the pool, while chilling in the deepest part of the water. After asking if you could join, he muttered out a sure with a slight nod of his head.

You slipped into the water near him, only to realize the water was way deeper than expected. Soap was able to stand tall in the water due to his height, but compared to your shorter stature, it left you on your tippy toes to keep your head above the water.

“Hold on.”

Soap mumbled with what seemed ti be a light chuckle, as he reached over and grabbed you by the waist. He hoisted you up onto the side of the pool, your legs now just dangling in the water.

“Didn’t want ye tae drown.”

He mused, his grin slightly slanted as he indirectly made fun of your height. He gave a small pat to your knee, before leaning up against the pool wall once more—now with you accompanying him.
