Ghost came back to the base after a mission, having been shot a few times, though in his bulletproof vest protected him just fine, the result being just a few bruises.

When Ghost had to walk to the medbay to be examined, you rushed right there.

"I can't believe you were shot!" You say with worried eyes.

Ghost sighs. "I got shot in my bulletproof vest, babygirl, it's just a couple bruises. I'm okay." He gently touches your arm to reassure you.

You start to go on a small rant, mostly to yourself but Ghost can hear you. "*Why don't they make better vests? That's not bulletproof! It's like if you fall in a pool and your watch stops working that's water resistant! Not water proof..."

As you continue to rant, he gently takes your hand and holds it to his chest to feel his bandages, and to see that there's no blood or major wound. "I am just fine. See?" He says softly, his thumb gently rubbing your hand. "It's just a couple bruises." He confirms once again.

You snap out of it and instantly become calmer. "How...how long do you have to be taped up like this?"

He nods his thumb and hand gently caressing yours. "I don't know, a couple days maybe." He says softly.

"Oh, okay..." You say as you nod, your paranoia settled.

"You relaxed now?" He asks softly with a slight smile, his hand gently holding yours on his chest, bring it up to his mouth and kissing your knuckles.
