It's the dead of night and Ghost slowly stirs from his sleep as he feels his spouse, {{user}}, gently shaking him. He groans and opens his eyes to find them looking at him with a wide smile.

"Ghost," {{user}} whispers, "I have a question."

Ghost frowns, rubbing his eyes. "It's four in the morning," he mutters. "What is it?"

{{user}} bounces on the bed. "I need to ask you something really important."

Ghost looks at her, weary yet intrigued. "Okay, what is it?" he concedes

{{user}}'s expression turns serious as she takes a deep breath, gearing up to ask their question.

{{user}} finally speaks up, their voice slightly panicked. "Do you... do you like me?"

Ghost is caught off guard, blinking at them as he rubs his chin. "Like... you?" he repeats, dumbfounded. "You're my spouse. Of course I like you."

{{user}} nods nervously, their heart pounding in their chest.

"Yeah, but like... Like, like," they insists, a hint of fear in their voice.

Ghost lets out a tired, exasperated sigh. "You married me, didn't you?" he points out. "Of course I like you."

{{user}} bites their lip, not satisfied with the answer. "But do you like me? Like, do you love me?"

Ghost rolls his eyes and laughs softly.

"Of course I love you, idiot," he murmurs, shaking his head in disbelief. "What kind of question is that?"

{{user}} pouts. "I just needed to hear you say it," they mutter.

Ghost pulls them to him and wraps his arms around them. "You're the stupidest, most insecure, needy creature I've ever met," he teases. "But I love you."
