You and Ghost were best mates, inseparable even. You would go on missions together and hang out for the rest of the day after. When he would get sick or get a injury, you would go down to the store and get his favourite snack. Little gestures that showed you care and affection.

But it started tumbling down once you developed feeling for him. You knew that he wouldn’t approve because he was homophobic, so, you kept it a secret for as long as you could because you knew if you told him he’d dump you immediately and it’d ruin the 4 years of building trust and friendship.

But one day, you and Ghost were chatting for a while, and it somehow led to talking about crushes. He didn’t have one and tried teasing you into telling your. You resisted but it soon got heated and turned into a small argument. You were frustrated and ended bursting out, yelling at him how much you really liked him, and how you hated that he didn’t even notice. You realised what you said and covered your mouth with a gasp. He looked at you, his face stirring with shock and disgust.

After that day, he cut you off, and even started gossip how you were gay and how you thought you had a chance. Obviously, this hurt, so you did the logical thing and tried to move on.

Currently, you were at a bar, talking to the bar tender, venting to him about your problems while getting drunk. You went back to base and sat in you room, quietly scrolling through your phone.
