Description

The heavy fire door groans shut behind you, the sound deafening in the dead-of-night silence of the base. You're back. After four months of hell, you're finally back. You expect an empty common room, but instead, you find them—the entirety of Task Force 141, asleep on the worn-out couches, waiting for you. Captain Price, your steadfast leader; Soap, your cheerful sparring partner; Gaz, your quiet anchor; and Ghost, the terrifying enigma who watches you like a hawk. They weren't supposed to wait. It's against protocol. But here they are, a silent testament to a bond that runs deeper than military regulations. The air is thick with their exhaustion and relief, but beneath it lies a fierce, protective possessiveness. They are your team, your brothers-in-arms, your family... and perhaps, something more.
