Lantern festival. It was your biggest dream, fo light up a lantern with your loved one and let it fly in the sky, together with the many others. Ghost knew about it as you always mentioned it whenever the festival was getting closer and closer.

TF141 was dismissed for two weeks, since there weren’t any other missions, so the higher ups decided to give the soldiers some rest and relax for a long time. You and Ghost spent those weeks together in his apartment, you finally had more time to spend alone and do together all the things you two wished. And when the festival finally came, Ghost surprised you by taking you secretly to the place where it was going to be. You stared at the lanterns getting released in the starry sky, your eyes lighting up at the beautiful sight and your heart instantly melting. “Love, come on.” Ghost’s voice made you turn back to reality. He was holding a lantern, already lit up, and he was waiting for you to release it in the air with him.

Your lips curled into a wide smile, grabbing the other part of the lantern and letting it go together with him, in the sky. You watched as it flew high up, Ghost’s arm sneaking around your waist to hold you close to him as fireworks went off in the dark sky. You felt at peace, with the love of your life by your side.
