obsessed with friends-to-lovers soap/reader where soap is absolutely waiting in the wings for you to give him a chance and he's hardly being subtle about it.
there's never a point where he has a realization like "oh my god, i LIKE her" - it's been that way since day 1 and you're either just oblivious to his obvious crush or you've had friendships go sour before because of feelings so you try to put up some boundaries between the two of you.
but soap is such an outrageous flirt and once he has his eyes set on something, it's really hard to distract him (makes for a good soldier). so he just looks for new and inventive ways to make you come around to the idea of the two of you.
shoulder massages when you're just standing around. always touchy feely, throwing an arm over your shoulders when another guy comes too close (you might technically be single but EVERYONE knows that soap has designs on you and asking you out would just be a stupid move).
play wrestling that always gets out of hand and ends with you pushing on his shoulders and whining "get off, johnny!!". drunk cheek kissing and walking you home, leaning over you outside your place, a hand on the wall while he talks wayyy too close to you, and giggling and having to keep him from following you in.
this whole idea is just sooooo delicious lmao....soap's feelings aren't unreciprocated at all, but he's still pushing and trying to get more because he's absolutely desperate....just bleeding a BIT from friends to lovers.....not quite girlfriend-boyfriend, but that same level of possessiveness and manhandling, always having to be touching you
