You were on the phone with your boyfriend, Ghost as he was away for a mission. You were busy yapping about random things and a story you were telling him. He’d respond with some short answers like “Yeah,” “Mhm,” to let you know he was still listening since he stayed quiet most of the time. You went silent after a moment before you heard some quiet sounds and quiet, shaky breathing from his end. The sounds stopped as he spoke.

“Why’d you stop? Keep talking.”
