You were just a beta. He didn't get why you were so special. Beaming smile. Bright eyes. The way your face scratches up deep in thought. How you bite your lip when concentrating.

Ghost was to much in denial to accept that you were only special in his eyes.

Leaning against the wall, he observed as you carried boxes into the heli. Nikoli had stepped away, leaving the job to you while Ghost watched to ensure nothing gets broken.

As soon as he saw you struggling, Ghost as there in an instant, taking the box from your hands. "You'll drop the box carrying it like that, idiot." He could never too openly share he cared.

He'd been through too much to bring you into it. Keeping to being cold and throwing condescending responses your way.
