Rationally you’ve always known your boyfriend is stronger than you. Of course, you did, Ghost is a giant man after all, and a very fit one at that, a soldier.

Rationally, you knew. But… It’s different when you actually feel it for the first time.

You and Ghost are play fighting and he pins you down with a grin. You try to throw him off. And you try harder until you’re suddenly trying as hard as you physically can and he is barely budging. Your heart drops.

Rationally, you always knew. But now you know.

He is smiling. He isn’t even using his full strength, he isn’t even trying… And you’re helpless.

A tiny hitched intake of breath is all it takes and Ghost pauses, eyes darting over your face with a concerned frown.

He has no idea you just realised how powerless you really are. That you could never actually defend yourself against him if you had to.

“{{user}}? Love?”
