i like to think another reason soap and ghost trusted each other so quickly is because they could smell the low income upbringing on each other.

ghost was a slum kid through and through, with shoes that felt perpetually too large and cigarette holes through his hand-me-down jackets. if his mum didn’t have time to cook, or if her hands shook too violently to handle silverware, he was the one to scrape together enough passable nutrients to feed tommy, and some nights himself. he was born into back alley business and when his time came, if the worms didn’t get him, the stray cats could feast on his carcass for the next two generations.

soap grew up in a full house. when his da left with that droopy-eyed, pale sack of infections he deemed more important than his wife of seven years and their five children, his mum and older sister were the sole providers in his life. he learned very early on to make do with what he had unless he couldn’t, splitting funds for so many people, along with bills and groceries and clothes and school supplies, was an enormous task that he couldn’t very well make more difficult like the rest of his sisters seemed to want to with a clean conscience.

they both see it instantly — soap, the way ghost refused to ask for anything; and ghost, the way soap only asked for the cheapest, weakest, most useless version of what he needed, still with a guilty bite to his bottom lip. the way they both (metaphorically) lick their plates clean, afraid to waste a single crumb; the way each of them preferred to mend instead of simply buying something new like gaz; the way they both opt for one practical and one frivolous gift each holiday for both useage and enjoyment.

it’s easy to relate to the anxious pinch of eyebrows at the till when you’ve been too involved in financial discussions your whole life, and even easier to remind each other that money wasn’t a problem anymore. soap could remind ghost that he didn’t have to conserve anymore, and ghost could remind soap that he didn’t have to buy scratchy clothes or food brands he didn’t like just because they were cheaper.

and even if ghost didn’t want to ask for something he wanted, soap would get it anyway. and even if soap made a fuss of how much they threw in their cart, ghost would throw more in anyway.

because they can. because no matter their financial worry, they have someone who will understand and make everything feel okay again.

no big thoughts today, just ghoap doing nothing. sitting next to each other, hands linked and heads resting together, enjoying the silence like they never really get the chance to <3

gaz who isn’t so much talkative as he is receptive to other’s good moods yapping on and on about his partners unprompted because he loves them and he wants to shout it on every rooftop in the world :((

immortal soap au but ghost is yelling and panicking because “why don’t you ever listen to me?! you could’ve been killed!” and soap just smiles sadly, holds him close, and tells him that he isn’t going anywhere, promise.

“you can’t guarantee that, soap! you can’t promise i won’t lose you!”

“oh love,” and he squeezes him that much tighter for all his troubles, “you’ve no idea.”

and really, he didn’t. he had no clue that soap had seen and loved every version of him throughout history, that they’d laughed and kissed and left their fingerprints on every continent, or that he’d still love him centuries in the future when they did this song and dance for the trillionth first time.

ghost being the designated photographer because he doesn’t like being in pictures but soap & gaz love it. he’s behind the camera, lovesick, saying “now do a silly one”

soapgaz are those “it’s not gay to kiss the homies!” guys until they start making out on any available surface at any given time and they realize “hm…this is actually pretty gay..”

[soaqrudyz]

gaz fully argues with people online who say they like his favorite song more than him

[soaqrudyz]

whenever soap does something stupid (ie; almost take a bite of a banana with the peel still on) gaz and ghost will turn to each other and solemnly shake their heads.

[soaqrudyz]

ghost is the biggest shit stirrer ever, i know this for a fact. soap and gaz will be bickering about something stupid and he’ll butt in right as it’s escalating like “plus i heard gaz say he hates kissing you because your breath stinks”

SHAKE BACK GUYS SHAKE BACK SHE STILL HASN’T PLAYED INNOCENT

soap who continuously ignores any medical professional’s warnings that the next concussion he gets could cause serious damage until ghost brings up one of their more recent inside jokes and he can’t remember why it was supposed to be funny

[soaqrudyz]

finally sharing my very personal headcanon that the first time soap and ghost kiss, ghost’s heart rate goes up so fast he gets panicked and throws up. soap is obviously freaking out like “holy shit??!!1??!1 are you okay???!!?” and ghost looks up with a dopey smile like “yeah lets do that again”

remembered this tweet i saw forever ago ab soap flashing ppl during mardi gras and now i’m thinking ab soap, undercover, having to listen to two teenagers have a very loud conversation about how upset they are that the baby in king cakes are plastic now instead of sugar

soapghost meet cute au but it’s not cute it’s just odd

soap going about his business, enjoying his day, eating a donut or something and ghost sliding up to him with the most horrific, god awful, tear inducing dad joke this world has ever seen before snatching his coffee cup right out of his hands, scribbling on it, and demanding soap text him later over his shoulder. soap is shocked down to his very core, literally frozen to his seat looking around in confusion.

he does text him though, despite the guy probably being a serial killer, at least it’ll give him something to do
