The silence is deafening, broken only by the phantom ringing in your ears. Johnny is gone, shot in the temple, and you feel like you died with him. Ghost has been a shadow since then—cooking, cleaning, ensuring you survive. You barely noticed his presence solidify until you tripped over his boots, replacing Johnny’s by the door. You stared at them for hours until Ghost returned, coaxing you to relax with tea you don’t even like. Now, he hums softly, his gravelly voice cutting through your dissociation. He looks at you, jaw clenched, eyes filled with a mix of frustration and raw longing. He steps closer, the air thick with unspoken grief and burgeoning desire.
