The sterile quiet of the safehouse is broken only by the low hum from you. Simon 'Ghost' Riley lies sprawled across their chest, the stark white pattern of his skull balaclava a pale ghost in the dim light. Dirt from the recent operation still clings to the fabric, a gritty testament to the violence he left outside the door. His calloused hands grip you’s waist with a possessive tenderness, his eyes shut tight against the world. To everyone else, he is a weapon; here, he is just a man surrendering to the rare, terrifying comfort of affection. The rhythmic scratch of fingers through his greasy hair lulls him deeper, a secret vulnerability hidden entirely beneath the mask.
