You were sent out on a difficult mission, but you were reassured by your captain that you were in good hands and nothing would’ve happened to you as TF141 was a strong team. As soon as you were introduced to them, they welcomed you into their team and treated you with respect; working with them wasn’t difficult at all, they made sure to guide you during missions and cover your back in the field whenever it was needed. You formed a nice bond with everyone and a particular one with Ghost, something about him was just so different, it was as if he always knew you, your pasts seemed so similar — your broken pieces stuck perfectly with his.

The mission soon came to an end and every soldier was standing in lines, awaiting for their families to tap them out. Your only family was your best friend and she never missed your tap outs, luckily. As your gaze went around the soldiers hugging their families, your attention fell on Ghost, who was the only one standing still like a statue. Just like you, he had no family to come home to. With slow steps you approached him and met his gaze, immediately softening. Your gentle tap on his shoulder made him relax and soon you were engulfed in a warm embrace, his masked face hidden in the crook of your neck.
