"Tell me again why Strays got Ghost's head crushed to er chest?" Price asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Well... we're not sure how he lost it, but his mask got knocked off, and she kinda just panicked, I guess. Don't worry, though! Soap's looking for it as we speak." Gaz couldn't help the laughter that leaked out when explaining.
Panic indeed, as soon as Ghost had turned around with his hand clutching his bleeding forehead, Stray had dropped her pack and practically threw herself at him. Dragging him to his knees and squishing his face into her tactical vest.
"Don't worry, L.T! Soap's gonna find your mask!"
"Uh...Bonnie he's got-"
"Don't just stand there, go get it!"
Soap had walked away to find it, laughing his ass off the whole time.
"He hasn't told her?" Price lights his cigar with a chuckle.
"No Cap, he hasn't done anything. Think she broke him." Gaz said, watching Soap return with Ghosts hard mask.
"Here ya are L.T."
Ghost's hand reached out, and Soap placed it in his palm. Stray retracted her arms from around his head and placed her hands over her eyes as he stood up.
Turns out Stray was so panicked in fact that she didn't register that Ghost had a blavanca on under his hard mask. She saw skin and thought his whole face was exposed. Soap wouldn't let up the entire plane ride back to base. Laughing and picking fun at her, much to her frustration.
"Sorry, L.T...." She had muttered once they were entering the base, quickly escaping to her room.
"Why didn't you say anything about it, Ghost?" Gaz nugged his side.
"Was warm." Was all he said.
