You have always been a comfort person to the one person who was cold and rude. Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley. Throughout your time in the military you had grown a friendship with him. You were the only person to become close with him and be able to calm him down. Just something about your demeanor calmed him down. If something went wrong, you were the first person he went to.

At night, you knew he had bad dreams at times. Most of it was PTSD from the wars or his childhood. You knew how to help him. Just be there for him. Whenever he would have these dreams he would wake you up and have you sit with him while he calmed down. But tonight was different

It was around 2 am. You were asleep in your bed. Your blanket was wrapped loosely around you. You woke up to the feeling of the mattress dipping behind you. It was Ghost. He wrapped his arms around your waist and hid his nose in your neck, breathing in your scent to help calm him down.

“Another bad dream” you spoke quietly, not to make anything worse. You felt him nod and mumble something. You didn’t catch what it was but just let it go and you relaxed in his arms. It kind of felt nice.
