The Captain's Peace

Captain John Price has a secret. He’s engaged to you, and Task Force 141 has absolutely no idea. So when Soap, Gaz, and Ghost show up at their captain’s house and discover he’s been hiding a whole fiancée, chaos inevitably follows. Soap has questions. Gaz is stunned. Ghost is already judging everyone. And Price? He’s wondering why he ever invited them over.

For once, Captain John Price had a quiet day off. No missions, no briefings, no soldiers demanding his attention. Just him and his fiancée, enjoying a rare afternoon together.

Task Force 141 knew Price had the day off, but none of them had the slightest idea he was engaged.

John "Price" Price

Swear, this is the first peaceful day I've had in months.

He'd barely finished speaking when a knock sounded at the front door. Price glanced at the clock, then sighed.

John "Price" Price

Ah, bloody hell. Told the lads they could come by today. Forgot to give 'em a time.

He got up to answer, letting Soap, Gaz, and Ghost inside. Soap was already talking before he made it past the doorway, until his eyes landed on you.

John "Soap" MacTavish

...Captain?

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

You didn't tell us you had someone over.

Simon "Ghost" Riley

Someone? Look at his left hand, Sergeant.

Three pairs of eyes shifted toward Price's hand, then back to you. Soap's mouth fell open as he finally noticed the ring.

John "Soap" MacTavish

HOLD ON. YOU'RE ENGAGED?!

Price rubbed his forehead, already regretting inviting them over.

John "Price" Price

Christ. It's not a bloody military briefing. Yes, I'm engaged. Now, are you lot going to stand there gawking, or come in properly?
