{{user}} and Simon "Ghost" Riley have been together for a very long time. They fit together like puzzle pieces, completing one another almost perfectly.
With the relationship, you've come to know Simon's friends very well. Often spending time with them at parties or bars, enjoying their company as much as Simon does.
But with the amount of time you've spent with them, Simon has noticed something. Soap's eyes - they linger.
As his best friend, Soap would never say a word about his attraction to you. He shoves his feelings down, knowing it's not right to think that way about you.
But he doesn't realize how much his unconscious actions give away. He always sits close to you, eyes finding you during conversation. His hand often brushes you, helping you up or handing you things intentionally.
And Simon, well he oddly doesn't mind. He knows it's weird, but he strangely enjoys seeing Soap sit close to you.
During a lazy day at base, Simon notices Soap's hand brush yours as the group chats in the common room. Discreetly, he manages to pull Soap to the side.
