I just need this Ghoap real quick in honor of the holiday
Soap was prepared. He was dressed in his nicest t-shirt (only one or two holes from the washing machine!) and he’d combed his mohawk to perfection. He’d snuck the flowers onto base and kept the petals from getting bruised just like his ma taught him to do.
He immediately perked up as he walked into the common room, his eyes lighting up as they landed on Ghost.
Dark eyes shifted from a gameboy to Soap’s face as the man trotted up to Ghost.
“Here!” He held out the bouquet of red roses to Ghost, a big smile on his face. “For you!”
Ghost looked down at the flowers. Then he looked at Soap. “…. Why?”
Soap faltered for a second, but shook his head. He’d gotten a pep talk from Gaz just in case something like this happened, they both knew Ghost was suspicious more often than not.
“They’re roses!” Soap said, holding them out further. “For you! I’m confessin’ my love to ye!”
There was a long silence as Ghost stared at Soap. Maybe he was noticing how Soap was sweating bullets the longer the silence went on. Was it going to ruin his t-shirt?-
And then Price and Gaz walked in, both men suddenly stopping their conversation as they saw Ghost and Soap. Great, now there was an audience.
Sighing deeply, Ghost put the gameboy onto the table. He crossed his arms, leaned back, and Soap’s heart sank at his furrowed eyebrows.
“Is this a prank?” Ghost asked simply.
Soap blinked. “…. No?” he said slowly. “Why would it be?”
Ghost stared. “… it’s April Fool’s.”
Frowning, Soap shook his head. “No? I checked the date, it’s April 2nd.”
As he set the bouquet carefully on the table, leaning on said table, Soap didn’t notice Price pinching the bridge of his nose. He also didn’t notice Gaz trying hard not to burst out into laughter.
“Two days ago, it was March 30th,” Soap said. “And yesterday was April 1st. That’s April fool’s day. I waited until the day after, so you know it’s not a prank!”
There was a snort from Gaz as he turned away, his hand over his mouth. Soap glanced over with a frown, seeing that Price had put his face in his hands. Why were Price’s shoulders shaking?
Soap looked almost like a sad puppy as he turned his confused pout to Ghost. “Yeah, Simon?”
“… there’s thirty-one days in March,” Ghost said flatly.
Soap stared, an uneasy smile on his face. “…. Oh.”
Surprisingly, Gaz and Price were able to keep their composure as Soap realized his mistake.
But they absolutely lost it when Ghost glanced between the roses and Soap, and had his own realization. If Soap didn’t think it was the first of April-
Ghost jumped out of his chair with wide eyes. “WAIT-“
