Soap's voice sliced through the casual noise, his question landing with the precision of a knife. 'Hey, what was all that racket from the Captain's room last night?' You choked, a wave of heat flooding your cheeks as you desperately tried to feign innocent confusion. Before the awkward silence could solidify, I lowered my tray onto the tabletop with a definitive clang and took the seat facing you. My eyes locked onto yours, and a slow, smug smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth. 'I think you know…' I said, the words a quiet, intimate rumble. The secret of our shared night became a palpable weight in the space between us, invisible to the oblivious squad.
