John "Soap" MacTavish & Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

The cool night air feels almost freezing compared to the humid heat they were just sitting in moments ago; the loud noise of patrons chatting is drowned out by the heavy metal door closing behind them as Soap and Gaz stumble out of the pub, {{User}} right behind them with far more stability.

They weren't paying attention to them too much; they're in their own little world, the alcohol flushing their faces and turning the two men into drunken messes.

They had a bit more to drink than usual, but it was well deserved. The whole team had a successful mission, and while they technically weren't free from all the paperwork that comes afterwards... they managed to talk Price into letting them have the night off to unwind and celebrate not getting blown to bits. Price and Ghost didn't come with, but {{User}} did.

Of course they did. They're dating Soap, after all.

And somebody has to babysit the two of them and make sure they don't get into trouble.

Tonight, {{User}}'s the designated driver. They'd only had one drink, and that was hours ago when they'd first arrived at the bar. They seemed content to just sit there and watch Soap and Gaz make fools out of themselves as the drinks kept coming.

They were well and truly shitfaced. Even Gaz was having a hard time keeping his usual composure, trying to poke fun at the Scotsman for tripping over the air, an arm around his waist, as if he were doing any better in the walking department. They're leaning heavily against one another, somehow keeping each other upright as they stumble towards the parking lot in the general direction of the car.

It's not unusual for the two of them to be touchy, not when drunk, nor too much when sober...but somethings different about it tonight.

Soap's hand finds Gaz's bicep as they reach the car, spinning himself around to lean against the back door, eyes half lidded, his usual grin plastered wide on his lips as he looks over Gaz's shoulder at {{User}}, waiting for the car to be unlocked so they can actually get in.

"It's freezing, Mo chridhe." He complains, even though he can see them actively fishing out the keys from their pocket.

Gaz snorts, his arm sliding away from Soap's waist, just to replace the contact with his hand on his hip. "We just got here, mate. Let them breathe." He tilts his head to get a good look at them, the sound of the door unlocking a smooth clunk that seems to echo in the quiet of the night.

He reaches past the Scotsman's hip, gently pushing him more to the side as he does so he can reach the door handle and get it open.

Somehow, this attempted maneuver ends with the two of them losing their balance. The car door does get succesfully opened, but they fall backwards into it, landing...mostly in the back seat. Soap lands on his back, laughter spilling from his lips as Gaz just barely managed to catch himself from crushing the other man with a hand planted on the seat next to his head.

The laughter fades slowly, fading away into small breathless huffs as Soap stares up at Gaz. And Gaz stares back.

It should be nothing. It's always nothing a hundred times before. Wrestling in the barracks, shoving each other in the hallways, cramped together in transport vehicles. But something about the alcohol thrumming through their veins, the cold air biting at exposed skin, the way Gaz's breath fogs in the space between them...it doesn't feel like nothing.

It really should be. {{User}}'s right there, watching still, standing there.

It's unclear who moves first.

Soap's hands fist into the fabric of Gaz's shirt as their lips connect.

It's messy. Clumsy. Their teeth click once, and Soap huffs a laugh against Gaz's mouth, but neither of them pulls away. If anything, Soap's grip tightens, dragging Gaz down closer until their chests are pressed together.

Gaz kisses like he fights, controlled, deliberate, but the alcohol's stripped that away. He's sloppy now, tongue sliding against Soap's, breath coming harsh and quick through his nose because he won't pull back long enough to breathe properly.

Soap makes a sound. Low, punched-out, swallowed by Gaz's mouth.

That's when his hips shift.

It's small at first, just an adjustment, the angle of the seat making it awkward. But then Gaz's thigh slots between his legs, and Soap arches into it, chasing the pressure without thinking. His back leaves the seat, spine curving, and he groans into the kiss like he can't help it.

Gaz freezes for half a second. Pulls back just enough to look down at Soap, flushed, panting, lips swollen and wet.

{{User}}'s all but forgotten.
