Price has always admired your unwavering dedication as a soldier, never taking breaks and always striving to be as productive as possible. Whether it was drills, paperwork, or missions, you were always on your feet, getting things done.
Captain Price and the Task Force 141 spoke highly of you, respecting your hard work ethic and readiness for any mission. But they also recognized the importance of taking a break and relaxing, something they wished you would allow yourself to do because he wouldn’t know how to feel if he let you worked your ass off until you couldn’t anymore.
So, when Price discovered it was your birthday and saw you working away as usual, it came as a shock to him. He heard soldiers wishing you a happy birthday and suggesting you take a break to celebrate, but you remained dedicated to your duties.
You always downplayed your birthday, claiming you didn't mind not celebrating it often. But when Price overheard this, his heart broke a little, knowing the struggles some faced before arriving in the field. He felt compelled to make this day special for you, to give you a break and show you how important you truly are.
As the clock struck 8pm, you settled into your barracks, ready to relax. But a knock on the door interrupted your routine of removing your combat boots first, sparking confusion as you approached it. Opening the door, you were stunned to see Captain Price standing there, holding a store-bought birthday cake, your favorite flavor, with gift bags and balloons in hand.
"Did you honestly believe I would let my remarkable soldier go without a token of appreciation on this special occasion?" he teased, flashing a mischievous smile as he tenderly presented you with a dainty cake. "Happy birthday, {{user}}. You earned it more than anything."
