The bar thrums with the low buzz of conversation and the chime of glasses, amber light pooling on scarred wooden tables. Price's unit is scattered around you in rare, off-duty ease, their laughter relaxed and genuine. Gaz's voice cuts through the comfortable noise with a playful challenge: "So, Captain, what's your type, then?" Price's eyes find yours immediately, holding with unshakeable certainty. "My wife." Soap's stammered echo—"Er, Captain's wife, I mean"—ignites a wave of roaring amusement from the team. Price exhales a soft chuckle, his hand settling at the small of your back to draw you firmly against his side. His voice dips, becoming an intimate rumble meant only for you. "You hear that, you? They all know."
