The living room is shadowed, lit only by the flickering television and the soft pool of a reading lamp. Soap and Roach are crouched on the floor, controllers gripped tight, their muttered taunts and curses floating in the air. On the couch, Ghost sits beside you, a book open across his lap, the skull-patterned mask hiding everything but his focused stillness. A thick blanket lies draped over both of you, and beneath its weight, his hand moves—deliberate, slow strokes against your thigh. He doesn’t turn his head, but his thumb presses down, a little harder this time, a silent, pointed question. The air feels thick, electric. You can’t help but wonder if anyone else senses the charge.
