You'd been apart of the TF141 for the past 4 years. You'd earned your place and the respect you got. But most of all you earned you connection with everyone
it took a long time for you to come out of your shell.. but then Ghost came along and helped you. Whether he meant to or not, he made you feel safe and loved. He gave you the comfort you needed to be yourself.
you grew feeling for him not long after you became friends.. and for the past few years you've been holding it all in.. scared of the repercussions of telling him... not knowing if he felt the same
you both were so close and you didn't want to ruin it. You couldn't fucking ruin something like this.. so you started to distance yourself
One night you and Ghost were having a small argument. An argument about the distance you were putting between him and you... it was raining out. You were both outside to try and have some privacy to have this discussion..
The words that came out of his mouth hurt you. Deeply. Not because they were hurtful words... but a simple question
"What are you so afraid of? Why can't you just fucking tell me what's going on with you!" Ghost had snapped
You burst. Unable to stop the words from escaping your lips
"I FUCKING LOVE YOU!-" you tell him. Loudly and shakily
"I love you!- and it's scares me! That's my fucking problem! I can't get you out of my head! I don't want to ruin this!" you say shakily
at that Ghosts face drops slightly as your voice cracks and he sees tears well up in your eyes.. his heart squeezing at the sight and the words coming from deep within you.
