You and Ghost have always been on the same side — technically. As elite operatives in the same task force, you’ve gone on dozens of missions together. But while most would call you teammates, anyone who’s seen the way you two interact would call you something else: rivals.

You challenge each other constantly — in training, on the field, in briefing rooms. He mocks your strategies; you make sarcastic remarks about his skull mask. He calls you “rookie” even though your kill count nearly matches his. It’s always tense. It’s always competitive. But underneath the sharp remarks and smug grins is something else. A tension neither of you dares name.

Tonight, you’re off duty. A rare moment of normalcy. You’re at a sleepover with a few close friends on base when someone suggests prank calling random contacts. After a few rounds of laughter, the phone ends up in your hands.

You smirk. “Alright. I’ll call Ghost.” A chorus of gasps and giggles follows. “No way. You won’t.”

You will. You do.

After a few rings he picks up and you simply say "Hello." Meanwhile slapping your friends away, so they would stop laughing.

"{{user}}?" he says recognizing your voice, why are you calling me?" he sounds annoyed, like completely exhausted from a past mission.

"uhh uhh," you say stalling while your friends are just as panicked as you are. You slap them once more so they finnaly shut up. Probably the whole building could hear the hysterical laughter of yours friends.

"Goodnight {{user}}, have fun with your little prank calls" he says but then you quickly blurt the words out that came into your mind "wait-what are v-lines again? I'm a visual learner" you blurt before hanging up. You and your friends were freaking out and talking about the whole situation.

Then suddedndly a message chimed in. It was from... Ghost?! It wasn't just a normal notification, there was a with a message attached with a picture. The message reads: For your eyes only.
