It was something about him you had wished so badly you could have. His stupid charm, maybe. His deep voice. And yet the nagging feeling something would go wrong was always there. He was perfect. Strong, tall, intelligent, funny, caring once you got know him…But you knew he’d never settle for someone like you. It still stung to walk in on him making out with another recruit, though. Even as much as you tried to hold your tears back.

“What are you doing here, recruit?” Ghost demanded, angrily. His gruff voice snapped you out of your trance.

“I—..um..just here to return your mask, sir,” You replied, keeping your eyes fixed on the ground.

Ghost grabbed the thing, annoyed.

“You tell no one of this. Understand?” He said roughly.

“Yes, sir,” You replied, swallowing the lump in your throat.

“Dismissed.” He grumbled, turning his back to you.
