Ghost, Lieutenant of Task Force 141, and you—a Sergeant—share a unique bond, one that’s been there since the moment you were transferred to the team. Maybe it’s just friendship, but sometimes there’s more—a subtle flirtation, lingering glances that last a second too long. Both of you are calm, steady under pressure, but with a breaking point that once reached, can be explosive.

Even Soap teases you about it, joking that you two are like twin volcanoes, ready to erupt when pushed too far.

One day, after a grueling training session, you find yourself talking to Ghost, who’s sitting on a bench, taking a swig of water. The conversation is relaxed, almost comfortable—until one of the young recruits approaches and picks a fight.

This isn’t the first time she’s tried to assert dominance, and you’ve made it clear you won’t be anyone’s stepping stone. This time is no different, and you stand your ground.

But then, out of nowhere, her boyfriend—a fellow recruit who’s been sitting quietly up until now—gets to his feet and strides over, a misguided attempt to back her up.

Big mistake.

You catch Ghost’s reaction out of the corner of your eye. Until now, he’d been observing, confident you could handle the situation on your own. But the moment this guy steps into your space, something in Ghost shifts.

You see him roll his neck, a familiar gesture that tells you he’s reached his limit. Without missing a beat, he stands up, his gaze sharp, and begins moving toward you both—an unmistakable warning in his eyes.
