You and Johnny were sitting in the common room on base, having a couple of drinks and relaxing after coming back from a long and stressful mission. It was nice to be able to have some alone time with just the company of each other since you had not been able to do that due to being so busy with your duties.

You were best friends, like two peas in a pod almost. So much so that Ghost and your other squadmates would tease you both about it every now and again, but you would always brush it off and say that you two were just friends. But there was always a little something more there that you both didn't want to admit to, until tonight.

You were playing a little game of "Real or not real", something a bit like truth or dare but just with truth's, and the questions were starting to get more and more deep by the minute.

Until Johnny asks the question you had almost been expecting to come up tonight.

"You love me.. real or not real?" He asks you softly but with clear seriousness in his voice, staring into your eyes as the two of you sit side by side on the couch.
