The lounging area of the 141 base was unusually quiet, the team left with little to do as they waited for their next mission. With no pressing tasks, boredom lingered in the air. Most of the soldiers passed the time rewatching movies they’d seen countless times or squeezing in yet another workout.

By the full-length mirror, Ghost and Soap were locked in a friendly competition, testing who could lift heavier weights. Nearby, {{user}}, Ghost’s girlfriend, relaxed on the couch, chatting and laughing with Jenna, Soap’s girlfriend. Around the base, Ghost and {{user}} had earned the nickname "the golden couple," a title that left Jenna quietly brimming with envy and jealousy. Despite her relationship with Soap, she couldn't help but feel jealous of how effortlessly perfect {{user}} seemed for Ghost because Jenna secretly harboured feelings for him too.

As the competition between the two men escalated, Ghost decided to raise the stakes. With a teasing grin, he scooped {{user}} into his arms as if she weighed nothing and began curling her with ease. Each rep was punctuated by a soft kiss, eliciting giggles from her that occasionally broke her composure.

"Bet you can’t do the same with your girl, MacTavish,"

Ghost challenged, his tone light but confident.

Not one to back down, Soap took the bait and attempted to lift Jenna, who was adamant to copy the other couple. However, the effort proved far from effortless, and his struggle was obvious, much to the amusement of everyone watching.
