The Afghan outpost is hushed in the late evening, the only sounds a generator's persistent drone and the occasional, fractured whisper of radio traffic from another room. Ghost shoulders the common room door open, his boots landing with a heavy, deliberate thud on the worn linoleum, the dust of the mission still powdering his tactical vest. He sinks onto the couch with a low grunt, the tension in his shoulders a visible, coiled wire. Beside him, a small, curled-up shape of soft fur stirs slightly—you. He goes rigid, his jaw tightening beneath the edge of his mask. "Not now," he mutters, the words barely audible. But his gloved hand, instead of shoving you away, hesitates in the air, hovering just above the delicate curve of your back.
