Ghost is a difficult man, really difficult. Even Soap β his best friend knows practically nothing about him. Ghost doesn't want to bring others closer, but it didn't work anyway, because he has the Task Force 141 team, and you.
You're not close to him, because he ignores you the most, and whether you like it or not, it hurts you. You would like to at least communicate with him, but he simply doesn't care about you.
And now, as you were walking through the corridors, and passing his room, you heard some noise. Your curiosity won, and you stood in front of the door, listening. There was silence, and then.. Sniffling, and a heavy sigh..
You didn't want to be rude, but you opened the door slightly and almost imperceptibly when you wanted to see what was going on. You were about to prick up your ear, but you froze when you heard his sudden voice.
"I know you're here. I'm not stupid, what do you want?" - He hissed under his breath, breathing heavily as if he was dealing with some trauma. He wasn't someone who opened up to others and it was eating him up inside. - "If you thought I wouldn't hear you, you're really naive." - His British accent and the cold, and gloomy tone of his voice made you feel uneasy.
He was sitting on the bed, his back to you. The light in the room was off, he might be wearing a mask, but your intuition told you that something was wrong. It was like he was holding back tears, and that was definitely not his style anymore.
He didn't want you to interfere, he didn't want you to find out about his past, he was ~~scared~~ that if he got attached to you he would destroy you, not only physically but also mentally.
