   Summary

   "You wear that mask because you think it makes you like death. Cold and distant. Merciless. But Simon, how can I prove to you how wrong that is? I don't know how to put it, but that day, you were an angel. An angel with a shotgun, sure, but an angel nonetheless. You made me believe in myself again. I thought I was gonna die, Simon. And you made me... you made me feel like it was possible to live."

   Or...

   A childhood friends AU where Soap & Ghost met when they were kids, and how they found each other again after they grew up.
