The 141's new member is hot. Like super hot. Soap has been eyeing them since the moment they were introduced to the team and as time moves on the others start to take an interest as well. The only problem? It appears the 141 aren't the only ones on base that have taken an interest. One day Soap, Gaz and Roach are rounding the corner to the mess when they catch the tail end of a conversation. "-out sometime?" "Sorry dude the missus keeps me busy at home no time for drinks." They round the corner and see their new sergeant, call sign Sunny, apparently in the middle of turning down some private for drinks. "Yo Sunny! There you are! We've been looking everywhere fer ur arse!" Soap interjects. "I was just on my way to the mess." "What a coincidence so were we." Gaz swoops in on their right, Roach takes the left and Soap brings up the rear effectively herding you away from the conversation. "I'm offended Suns figured 'ou'd tell us if 'ou had a bird a' home."
"A bird? No I don't have one of those."
"He means a girl Sunny." Gaz attempts to clarify. "I know." is the only thing they get in response.
Despite this, over the next few days various members catch various mentions of "The Missus". "Cooking a special dinner for The Missus tonight." "The Missus has been wanting to go swimming." "It's The Missus' birthday that day." "Me and The Missus are goin' for a hike."
"Al'ight! Dats it! I canno' take it anymoe! We're all goin' over to urs to meet this "missus" of urs!" Soap exclaims throwing his hands up mid spades match. No one acknowledges his outburst everyone focused on Price's next move. "You re-niggin' on me captain?" You point out. "Definitely renigged there capn'," Gaz jives from across the table. "Ya know what I think we're done here." Price throws his hand on the table revealing that he did indeed renig. "Fine by me how many books was that Gaz?"
"Fives from these fools and ten from the other pair." Gaz responds with a thumb pointing in the direction of the coach where Ghost and Roach had been cuddled up watching the Tv. "You two shouldn't be allowed to gang up on us like this." Price called from the kitchen having gotten up to brew a cup of tea. "You said you knew how to play?" "'Parently not." Gaz snickered cleaning up the cards. "So now 'ou guys are ignoring me?" Ghost turns his head towards the table. "You can't just demand to go to somebodies place Johnny."
"But!-"
"It's whatever you guys are welcome to come over if you want."
'Don't feel pressured-' Roach starts to sign
"I don't. Come over. Don't come over. Either way I'm firing up the grill this weekend. So if you do come 'round, bring something to throw on would ya?"
On Saturday at 4pm sharp a large dark green Jeep pulls into the driveway of moderately sized house some ways off into the woods. "Wasn't expecting them to have such a put together place." Gaz says exiting the Jeep looking around. "Don' be impressed yet, could still be empty wit one chair on the inside like Simon's-"
"Watch it Johnny."
"Cut it out boys! Come help me and Roach with the coolers." Price scolds ripping open a bag of ice to dump into a cooler. "Simon, Gaz grab the meat. Soap come help with the beers."
A loud knock sounds over the music playing in the kitchen. "Comin'!" You shout rising your hands in the sink and heading to the door. "Sunny!" Soap shouts dragging you into a bear hug. "Soap! We're in the way! And what's with the dramatics you saw me yesterday."
"Out the way. This is heavy." Ghost and Gaz each holding one end of a large cooler almost ram the two of you coming through the door. Price and Roach each holding one end of another cooler coming up from behind. "But aye missed 'ou since yest'rday." "Sweet of you." You say running your fingers through his hair and then closing the door behind everyone.
"Well, where is she?" Ghost starts to press.
"Let us get in first." Price counters, "Where should we put the coolers love?"
"Both of them can go on the back deck. I just got done making the chicken marinade so the coals should be just about done."
"Great. Means we can get the steaks on." Price says following your lead to the back door.
After setting everything down outside and checking on the coals. Gaz decides to start again, "So…where is she?"
"Where is who?"
'Your bird?' Roach cuts in
"I don't have a bird?" You turn away from the coals to look at the others, "Oh! Wait, you mean Missus. You lot are loud so she's probably under the sofa in the living-room. Just make sure you take your shoes off before you go stomping all over my carpet." As soon as you finish speaking Price's head drops to his chest with a heavy exhale, Ghost starts shaking his head moving to the deck chairs, and Roach starts snickering quietly.
"Aye, sorry, what?"
"Just go look Johnny." Price speaks for you moving to grab the grill tongs out your hand. Roach comes up behind you and grabs your hand.
"Grab a beer Sunny, come sit wit us." Ghost says from his place on your deck chairs. Soap and Gaz look at each other in confusion and head back inside.
"Under the coach they say, what in bloody hells?"
"Take your shoes off Soap."
After they both take their shoes off the two of them find the living room and stare at the sofa for a moment in silence. "'ou don't think they're messin' with us do 'ou?"
Gaz gets on his hands and knees and looks under the sofa. Looking back at him is a white,grey, and brown tabby cat. He sighs, "Right. I figured."
"What? Is there something down there?"
Soap joins him on the floor and spots the cat. "M-missus?"
"mrow?"
"Gaz dats a cat."
"I can see that Soap."
Gaz reaches under the sofa and immediately gets scratched. "Ow! What the?!" He shouts cradling his hand in his other hand.
"Did you find her?" They both here you shout from the back deck.
"Aye we found her!" Soap responds the both of them getting off the floor and heading back outside, in which they find you sitting on Simon's lap sipping a beer and listening to Price talk from the grill.
"You were in there a while figured the two of you got lost or something." You tease playing with Roach's hair.
"'ou could've told us 'ou were talking about a cat this entire time!"
"But that would ruin my cover."
'Your cover?' Roach questions
"Yeah, I get asked out so much on base I just started using my cat as an excuse to get out of whatever it is people ask me to do."
"Smart Sunny." Price says flipping a steak and Ghost squeezes your hip.
"And what's with this development?" Gaz points over to the two of you.
You can feel your face heat, "W-well I- Simon he asked- So i figured it was fine-"
"And It is. Now that you two slackers are back we can finally have 'The Talk'," Price closes the grill cover, "We've been wondering for a while now, if you wanted to join this little arrangement of ours lovie?"
You put your head in your hands and start to say something before Roach interrupts by pulling your hands away. 'We can't hear you'
"I said…I've been waiting for you to ask me that," You say again, face heated, quickly adding on, "Not to sound presumptuous or anything I mean I would never want to assume-" Ghost cuts you off by grabbing the back of your head and pulling you into a kiss.
"We've been waiting too."
