A/N: Lil headcanon drabble about Johnny, cuz he just gave me caring bestfriend vibes, and that's totally not inspired by my bestfriend who indeed did all those (I just love him so much <3) Also, thank you so much @girlfromflor for beta reading, I already wrote half of one of those for Simon and unfortunately you'll have to read it too, i don't make the rules.
Bsf!Soap, who was just a colleague before Special Ops and became your biggest anchor after you met in the enlistment, randomly β none of you knew the other would be there β but a familiar face suddenly made everything so light.
Bsf!Soap, who treats you so well, people think you're secretly dating, when in fact you're not β you've just been through a lot together and ended up being each other's anchors.
Bsf!Soap, who is the most easygoing person youβve ever met and avoids unnecessary conflicts whenever he can, and still pets your head and holds you tight when you're having a bad day, and on top of that, doesn't think twice before standing up for you. "What happened? Nah-, you're not going alone, I'm going with you." "Who do we need to beat?" Plus, Simon will just silently agree he's included in your little protection squad. And don't get him wrong β he knows you're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself β but if you're sad and hurting, he'll step in.
Bsf!Soap, who gossips with you in the mess hall during meals, before and after missions like you guys are still in high school β same old jokes, talking about the same people from your old and new circle β and it never gets old.
Bsf!Soap, who actually waits for you to have lunch βcause he knows you hate eating alone. (Bonus info: he slices your beef for you β "Girl, how are ya planning to get alive on the battlefield when ya're losing to a steak? They really are lowering their standardsβ")
Bsf!Soap, who compliments you β no ulterior reason β it's candid, it's unexpected, it's genuine and always catches you off guard, βcause it's accompanied by a soft smile, some teasing, and then a hug, specifically in this order.
