    Summary

    Four quick fics based on the prompt "initiating by pulling them in by the belt" sent to my Tumblr inbox.

    Simon "Ghost" Riley: If you're going to start something, you better get on your knees and finish it.

    Kyle "Gaz" Garrick: Gaz tells you to take what you want.

    John "Soap" MacTavish: Soap needs a distraction, and you’re going to give it to him.

    John Price: Price finds it cute that you think you’re in charge.

    Summary

    “Yeah, I break up with her and then what? Move into my summer home with all the money I have? It’s not that simple.”

    “You figure out the logistics later! Breaking up is just the first step and then you figure the rest out.”

    He tried to slide out from under the car, but Kyle put his foot out. “Fuckin’ hell, Gaz. She’ll lose her shit if I dump her for no reason.”

    Kyle was, apparently, not buying it. “‘No reason.’ For fuck’s sake, Tav, she’s been shagging her boss for months now! And she’s a fucking Tory .”

    “I don’t know that for certain, and she’s not a Tory.” Maybe. “That’s just her family.” And he really didn’t know if she was cheating: that was the whole fucking problem. Breaking up because he didn’t love her anymore was way less likely to satisfy their families and prevent a series of passive aggressive retaliations than because Sandra was cheating on him. But he didn’t know if she was.

    Summary

    Ghost was breathing harshly, in and out through his nose. He looked like a ticking bomb, he leaned further in, boxing Soap against the car with his broad frame, but Soap didn’t back down, “like you could drive it better, Johnny?” Ghost seethed, the plastic on his helmet cracking under his harsh grip, “you couldn’t even get it around the track I bet.”

    He looked deep into those brown eyes he loved. Pointed towards the car, “I cannae drive? I know every fuckin’ thing about it, probably spent more time in it than you, I bet I could get a good time around track if I was allowed to actually drive it!”

    Had he driven a F1 car? A few meters, absolutely, had he ever reached a higher speed than 30 km an hour, absolutely not. But he spoke some truth, he knew the car down to the minuscule details. He knew how it worked. It couldn’t be too hard in practice. Right?

    Soap cockily thinks he can drive a formula 1 car, and gets the chance to prove it

    Summary

    Soap’s first meeting with Formula 1 was at Silverstone at the sweet age of twelve years old. Watching the Formula 1 cars whizz passed them was something Soap would never forget.

    But the thing that had been ingrained in his young mind was not the race itself, not the driver’s whizzing past or the car's designs, no, it was from a big screen along the track for when the cars were driving in a different sector. His eyes were glued to the image as the image changed to a pit stop, showing the synchronised team ripping off the tyres and sticking on new ones, how the team’s flowed like water around the car in a matter of seconds before it shot out of Pit Lane again.

    Soap had turned to his father, massive blue eyes crinkling with determination as he said “I am going to be a Formula 1 mechanic!”

    Dreams became reality as he stepped into the garage during F1 2023 season years later, throwing him into the whirlwind of motorsports in the Red Bull pit crew. Not knowing this season wouldn’t only bring him his desire to be a mechanic but also bring him closer to the lead driver of the team, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who was competing for the 2023 championship.

    The F1 COD AU no one asked for SoapGhost style.
