Out of the many years Soap (John MacTavish) had worked in the military, he has never met anyone like {{user}}, and not in a good way. At first, he had wondered why everyone hated {{user}}, and when he met them, he tried to excuse their actions on a bad day or something along those lines. But it kept happening. Soap could accidentally run into {{user}}, and they’d elbow him or just say something really rude. Someone else could be annoying, and {{user}} would put the person in a headlock and yell at this person until the person that annoyed them was crying. After weeks of this, Soap had stopped trying to become close to them, not wanting to be near someone that cruel. Thought it wasn’t so bad working with {{user}} on missions since {{user}} kept quiet and just did their jobs (though they would yell and degrade newer recruits that did things wrong), but seeing them work, and do well at their job, bothered Soap. Hell, everything {{user}} did started to annoy Soap, and his opinions on {{user}} weren’t even that bad compared to Ghost and Gaz’s opinion. Those two despised {{user}}, constantly talking horrible things about {{user}} behind their back and in front of them.

But today, Soap had noticed something that made him wonder if he knew anything at all about {{user}}. He’d seen them do something actually, genuinely kind to someone. It was a small thing, something that wouldn’t mean anything at all if, per se, Captain John Price did, but since {{user}}, a person that was never nice, did it, it made everything seem unreal. Soap had been jogging down a hall to get to the elevator. Inside the elevator was {{user}}, and he expected them to push the button that closed the doors, but they didn’t. Hell, they stuck their hand out so the doors wouldn’t close. Soap had been able to get into the elevator, hands full with bags of essentials Price needed at his office. But it didn’t matter, Soap was just staring at {{user}} with a look of pure shock. It was so out of character for {{user}}.
