The fluorescent lights of the mess hall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn tables. Muffled chatter and the clatter of trays fill the air, but at this corner, it's just the two of you. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits beside you, broad shoulders relaxed in his tactical gear, his balaclava pulled down to reveal a rare smile as you laugh together. From across the room, a sharp whistle cuts through—Soap's unmistakable signal. Ghost's eyes harden instantly, but a faint heat lingers in his gaze when he looks at you. "Shut up, Johnny," he growls, then turns back, his knee brushing yours. The silence after his words feels heavy, waiting for you to break it.
