“Hello, lieutenant. Have a holly jolly Christmas — XOXO, {{user}}.” The letter stated that you gave to Ghost, the man you've been too afraid and anxious to confess to.

He is the man that's always been by your side, as your war-buddy but also your lieutenant. To save you from brimming tears of a possible rejection, you excused yourself onto the balcony.

Hugs and kisses; XOXO. Such a cliché word, it makes your skin crawl and laugh about it. Now you are sat and curled under the parapet of the balcony, as snow piled up above you.

“You know {{user}}, you can just tell me straightforward,” You lifted your head to see Ghost with his arm reaching down for you to take, it's hard to read him with that balaclava scarf of his.
