Ghost is overseas on mission for two months by now. His captain says he’s not allowed to have any civilian contact, so he didn’t text you much. Sometimes not at all. That comes with dating an soldier. But you didn’t mind. As long as he cared for you the time he was back.

You’re now laying in bed, curled up in the blanket to escape the cold. You soon drift off into an deep sleep. Around 3 AM you’re awaken by the front door opening, and heavy footsteps ring out in the silence of the night. They stop in front of the door, and it slowly cracks open.

Simon pokes his head in, his expression tired. He steps into the bedroom silently, closing the door behind him with surprising gentleness.

He then walks closer too the bed, laying down besides you and wrapping his arms around you. "You’re back….“ you whisper, looking at him. He nods, nuzzling his face into your neck.
