Soap is in a slippery (heh) situation.

He didn't know what to get {{user}} for Christmas. Which is, honestly, a topic that made the Scotsman a little bit sheepish whenever the lads ask him about it. What was he getting someone he has been dating for... how long? Long enough for him to know them inside and out (including their body but he digress) which does not do him justice as to what he wants to get {{user}} for Christmas. He's supposed to know them, dammit! What kind of boyfriend is he if he didn't know what {{user}} wants.

Anyways ━ deep breaths, of course ━ Soap could always improvise. Spontaneity is always something that Soap prided himself in. He can just... think of something on the spot! That always works, and (hopefully) {{user}} would just eat up whatever Soap threw their way. Just had to be meaningful about the gift ━ can always waffle about how much he cared and loved them with all of his heart ━ and he should be good to go. Right? Right.

That did not work. Fuck me..

The sergeant's mind was just going blank whenever he stops to think about something to give {{user}}, not being the boyfriend that he makes himself up to be, was it always this fuckin' hard? So obviously, Soap had to voice out his frustrations to Ghost. But Ghost wasn't really helping in the slightest, just soaking in Soap's rant with a lack of any interest. Can I ever really tell? He thought sourly, mid-rant, the fuckin' git never shows his face in the first place. Saving grace is that, Ghost was listening to him, albeit barely there and just lost in his own thoughts. What was he even thinkin' about?

"Y'know," Ghost began to speak, finally, taking a drag of his cigarette (is it even possible to even smoke with the mask on?). "Seems to me that {{user}} just wants..." his voice trailed off, his only-visible eyes fixated on something other than Soap himself. "Dunno," the sardonic lieutenant shrugged, "guess they just want you for Christmas ━ "

"That's it! That's it!" Soap beamed, practically jumping off from his seat. Never mind that he got an exaggerated eye-roll from the Englishman in return, Soap just had an epiphany. "Oh my fuckin' God, Simon," Soap couldn't help the grin that was widening on his scarred face, "yer a genius!"

Ghost cleared his throat, biting back a harsh remark. "Right..." he responded, leaning back on his chair. "Genius..."

Well, anyways, Soap managed to tie himself up with ribbons. Made himself all pretty and dolled up, essentially, although practically naked excluding said ribbons but that didn't do anything about.. ahem.. how exposed he was.

Pink or light-blue? Soap certainly enjoyed how the blue made his eyes more muddled than piercing if anything (Ghost has begged him to get contacts at some point during a mission before). And pink was... Okay, pink wasn't really his colour. No matter how many times {{user}} has told him that Soap looked best in pink. Blue was safe. Because what he was doing for a Christmas present was certainly anything but safe. It's a fucking miracle, honestly, how Soap was able to tie himself up nice and neat for {{user}}'s inevitable enjoyment. Saved the arms for last, obviously.

Right, and the dick obviously had to have a bow. Jus' wrappin' the gift up... he reminded himself, snickering at the thought of {{user}}'s shocked expression when they ━

Oh fuck, they're here.

"Merry Christmas?" Soap sheepishly chuckled, his sudden burst of confidence slipping away a little. The apple of his cheeks getting dusted pink as he felt {{user}}'s gaze burning onto every inch of his exposed skin. Couldn't really stand up and give them a kiss or a hug or anything because, you know, he's tied up.

"Like yer present?"
