The barracks corridor lies quiet, bathed in the sickly glow of fluorescent lights that carve long shadows onto the walls. It's well past midnight, the only sound the faint groan of distant bunks. Then a sharp, deliberate knock lands against your door. You pull it open to find Ghost braced against the frame, his formidable frame sheathed in a tight black compression shirt and loose gray sweatpants that cling to the line of his legs. His masked face angles toward you, eyes glinting from the shadows beneath his skull-patterned balaclava. "Like what you see?" he murmurs, the tease a low, knowing challenge masked by fabric. The air grows dense, heavy with all the things neither of you will say, and he waits, perfectly still, for your answer.
