As everyone gathered back inside the base, Soap and Y/N went with Rudy who took them to a supplies room. From there they each picked a handgun and a few other things they might have needed.

"Is there something up with the LT?" y/n asks.

Soap looks at her, "depends on what kind of answer you're looking for." he chuckles.

y/n sighed, "i don't know... is he always so.. Quiet?"

"Yeah.. he doesn't talk much unless he has to, to be quite honest."

y/n hummed, filling her vest with extra ammo. You could never be too sure.

She then stared at her gun absentmindedly, remembering how just earlier he gripped her up...

As the two of them were getting set, Alejandro was with the other guys.

"So what's the plan, captain?" He asks Price.

"I'm having two people go back to the penthouse, scooping the area and checking for any vital pieces of information."

"We should've checked around more when we were there,'' Alejandro says, shaking his head.

Ghost hums and glances around, despite knowing the answer he asks, "who is going?"

"Soap and Y/N will go," Price says.

He turns and watches as the two he just named walked over.

y/n flashed a smile and soap stood tall, they were ready to go.

Ghost cleared his throat a bit, "you really think Y/N should go?"

The girl cocked an eyebrow, looking at Ghost.

"Excuse me?" she says.

"I'll go. With soap." he says bluntly.

"Why LT?" Soap asked.

"Don't you think it would make more sense for someone more skilled to go?"

"You're saying I'm not skilled?"

"No-! Bloody hell, i mean because we've been there before- dammit- i meant-" Ghost stuttered over his words, something no one has really ever heard before.

"Her and Soap will be just fine," says Price, shaking his head. He slaps a hand onto Ghost's arm and turns him a bit, "get your head out of your ass, LT. Christ, what's going on?"

Ghost just stares at Price, his eyes heavy. "Nothing, captain."

"Then stop acting like a muppet, Simon." he says bluntly.

Ghost's eyes immediately fill with worry and look over at Y/N but she's in their own conversation with Gaz and Soap, she stopped bothering with him as soon as price spoke to him. He sighs.

Price pats him on the back and pulls out a cigar before walking off.

Ghost looks over at the other three, watching them.

They were talking to one another, soap and y/n were smiling at eachother and Gaz had his arm resting on y/n's head. But that didn't last long, he watched as she swatted his arm away off his head, shaking her head and slicking her hair back down with her hands.

Soap glanced up at Ghost, walking over to him. He smirks a bit, playfully.

"Don't worry, LT. I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt."

Ghost gave him a daring look.

Soap put his hand out for a handshake and Ghost took it, firmly squeezing Soap in.

"I think you're starting to like the new girl, LT." he whispers.

That made Ghost squeeze his hand as he still held on.
