Summary
There was a time in Soap’s life where he was fiercely dedicated to learning skills that might translate into getting laid.
Few of them are applicable to whatever is going on with Ghost at any given moment, though.

Summary
While unpacking his kit after Mexico, Simon finds one of Johnny’s shirts. It’s still dirty from the field. It doesn’t belong to Simon. Nothing has belonged to Simon in a long time. Especially not the heart of the man who hasn’t left his mind since the day they first met.
Simon finds Johnny to return what belongs to him.
(It’s not about the shirt.)

Summary
"Jersey swapping is a tradition in sports where players of opposing teams swap shirts with each other at the end of a game as a sign of mutual respect, indicating when rivals recognize that they have met their match."
When a devastating injury takes Scottish rookie Johnny 'Soap' MacTavish off the pitch in the last critical minutes of play, English veteran and Red Rose Captain Simon 'Ghost' Riley makes amends. Simon soon discovers that not all rivalries must end in bloodshed, though in rugby, it may just bring two opponents closer together.

Gaz laughed, leaning in closer. “Mate… you really think Ghost wouldn’t be happy to… help you sort yourself out? His favourite sergeant?
Soap blinked at him, mouth half open. “Ghost? Are you daft? He doesn’t show interest in anyone. Man’s practically a machine.”
Gaz gave Soap a smirk he couldn’t quite decipher. “Oh, Christ… You think Ghost’s a closed book. But me? I reckon that man’s a bloody novella of filth. And that book is dedicated to one John MacTavish”

Soap is curious about some things, Gaz is happy to help him explore and Ghost? He’s not thrilled about it.Series

Summary
They both know what’s coming.
It’s not here yet, but it’s circling. Close.
Ghost finally pulled his hood down. Unzipped his jacket. He stayed standing by the desk, still as anything.
“Last chance to back out.”
Soap snorted.
“Don’t be thick.”
Ghost didn’t look away.
“I mean it.”
Soap leaned back on his elbows.
“So do I.”
