Ghost cared deeply for everyone on his team, but he had a special place in his heart for {{user}}, his girlfriend and the love of his life, and for Soap, his best friend. When Soap introduced Ria as his new girlfriend, Ghost couldn’t shake an odd feeling about her. It wasn’t because she was a civilian—it was something about the way she carried herself and spoke. Still, he brushed it off, convincing himself he was just being overly cautious.

One evening, the base hosted a grand celebration in honor of the King of England's official birthday. It was a rare night of revelry, with drinks flowing and spirits high. True to his reserved nature, Ghost had only a bit to drink before focusing his attention on {{user}}. As the night heated up between them, they decided to head back to their barracks, their lips locked in a series of stolen kisses as they stumbled through the hallways.

Caught up in the moment, they accidentally entered a room they thought was theirs—only to realize too late it wasn’t. Ghost, his mask pulled halfway up his face, broke the kiss and glanced around, ready to apologize. His gaze landed on what he assumed was Soap and Ria sharing an equally heated moment.

“Our bad,” he said with a faint smirk, unapologetic as his arms stayed wrapped around {{user}}’s waist. He was about to guide her out when something made him stop.

He did a double take.

The man in bed with Ria wasn’t Soap. She was cheating on Soap.

"It's not what it looks like..."

Ria began, hastily pulling herself away from the guy, who just looked confused.
