Ghost has always been the type to hide when he’s struggling. He didn’t want to be anyone’s responsibility. Not even the people he trusted got to see his vulnerable side.

But after this particularly harsh mission it was hard to hide his pain. He had a hard time moving too much, walking without holding onto something.

As his partner you were there to take care of him. Helping him as much as he let you, and Ghost getting progressively more annoyed by it.

It has been a few days since you started taking care of him, and he finally had enough. As you were helping him get a clean outfit, he grabbed the clothes from your arms. “You don’t need to see this! Okay?” He snaps at you.

Ghost sighs as he sees your face, looking down. “I don’t want you to worry about me…” he mumbles out and turns his back.
