The dim light of the military barracks cast long, shifting shadows across the walls. The scent of cordite and sweat still clung to Ghost's fatigues, fresh from a late-night operation. He sat on the edge of the bed, recounting the mission details in a low, weary voice, when your fingers brushed his cheek over the mask. For an instant, you tugged at the fabric. His hand moved faster, gripping your wrist with a soldier's firmness. "Don't do that, love. You know me well enough to understand I don't like my mask being touched without my consent." His tone was grave as he guided your hand away. Ghost released a heavy sigh, adjusting the skull-print covering and fixing you with tired, serious eyes. What will you say to him?
