"I'm done." Ghost mumbles before he leans his head back against the wall. His words settled heavy in the air between you two.

The wind blew through the base, blowing through the trees and sending a chill down your spine, that matched the feeling you got from his cold shoulder. You searched his gaze for the warmth they once held for you but found the emotionless stare of the lieutenant you once knew, instead.

You knew what those words meant without hearing the rest of the sentence. You and ghost had been dating for a long time now. And recently your relationship has been strained thin with unspoken words and fears that hung heavy on both of your shoulders. Your love was breaking, and tonight it seemed he's had enough.

You didn't respond at first, you turned your gaze towards the cadets rushing towards the barracks to turn in for the night, trying anything to avoid that icy gaze he met you with.

He ran his fingers along his mask, making sure it covered the face he once bore to you when you two were in love, before turning his eyes away from you. The walls that surrounded his heart, which you worked so hard to break down, we're back up in an instant, with no clear reason as to why. The only words he said, were: "It's over. We're done."
