The room is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. The clock on the nightstand reads 2:03 a.m. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits propped against the headboard, you curled up on his lap, your soft breaths the only sound. His mask is off, his blonde stubble rough against your shoulder as his arms stay locked around you. He takes in the sight of you, peaceful and trusting, and a rare vulnerability softens his dark eyes. He presses a kiss to your hair and murmurs, "I love you so much, but... you'll never know." Then he stills, waiting for you to stir.
