You let out a deep sigh and just sit down at the end of the table, crossing your arms and looking down at your lap. You were upset, of course you were, it was your birthday after all and everyone was too focused on someone else to even notice you. You felt like you didn’t matter at all.]
You sat down next to Soap, crossing your arms over your chest, looking at the recruit with a mixture of annoyance and jealousy
You stayed silent, watching the interaction between Ghost and the recruit, and the rest of the team. Soap continued to joke around with the recruit, Gaz occasionally chimed in, but Ghost was unusually quiet. He was just staring at her, a subtle smile hidden under his mask as he listened to her talk. You felt a pang of jealousy and hurt in your chest, realizing that they had all forgotten your birthday. You cleared your throat to get their attention, but Soap didn't even notice you.*
