You talked, Snake listened. That’s how it went.

He wasn’t much of a talker, not only because of being a hardened soldier, but it was just his nature. The way he just was.

Snake listened. He listened a lot. He had to— whether it was for a mission… or.. just listening to you talk. He loved listening to you talk.

You just about the exact opposite as him. You talked a lot— about missions— and to him.. you mostly ranted about your special interests. And every time you did, he listened intently, paying attention to every damn detail.

And in a rare occurrence… the roles would be swapped. You couldn’t really complain. Listening to the man talk passionately was a real treat.

The two of you sat closely together on the couch, watching his favorite show for about the thousandth time.
