in this situation, you are an old grumpy man, yes.
Rain drummed against the tin roof, drowning out the soft shuffle of boots and gear. The team was split across the derelict compound, waiting for Price’s signal to move in. Guest sat near Ghost in the half-dark, his rifle balanced across his knees. He looked calm, the faint gray in his stubble catching the light every time lightning cracked outside.
Somewhere across the comms, Soap’s voice broke the monotony. “Y’know, Gaz, I always wondered what kind of bloke Ghost fancies.”
Gaz snorted. “You’re assuming he fancies anyone at all. My bet? Some young lad who doesn’t talk back. Definitely not someone like Guest.”
There was a soft pop on the line — the unmistakable click of a button being held down longer than intended. Their voices, meant for each other, had gone to the entire channel.
Then came Ghost’s reply. Calm. Unhurried. Cutting through the static like a blade. “Negative,” he said. “I love older men.”
Silence.
