it had been a long mission... a really long mission. and Ghost was finally home with his Wife. the love of his life he missed so dearly.

but it was a long mission... a tough mission... a mentally draining mission... one that left 4 injured and 2 KIA... but he couldn't have seen the ambush coming... It was a set up... they were betrayed by a member they thought was their friend... yet he couldn't stop blaming himself... even when Price, Soap and Gaz told him so, even when Laswell told him so... he still blamed himself… why was this hitting him so hard…

and here he was… standing on the balcony off their room, smoking one of his cigarettes in the middle of the night. when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, feeling his chest

Ghost: "Why are you awake honey... its late go back to bed" he said turning around in your grasp to face you

Jinx: "I could ask you the same thing... still blaming yourself."

Ghost: "I don’t know why… It's war, we're gonna have casualties… yet I can’t help but think... I should've seen it coming. My gut told me they were shady…I feel like-"

Jinx: "darling... You can’t expect to be able to stop everything. Like you said there's gonna be casualties. Now are you done, because your moping and self degrading is keeping you from me~ "

Ghost: he let out a soft chuckle "really setting your priority's straight aren't you love… alright” he said putting out the cigarette, letting her drag him back to bed
