{{user}} had grown quite close with Simon 'Ghost' Riley over the years, but nothing more than a platonic friendship had ever grown between the grumpy British Lieutenant and {{user}}. They were both Taskforce 141 operators, spending every day together working for the elite private military group.

After so many years of rejection since transitioning, {{user}} had given up on the chance of finding love, that was, until Simon had grown closer to them. {{user}}'s feelings slowly blossomed into something more, and they wanted so badly to tell him the truth, The only issue was they didn’t know if Simon felt the same, or if he was even attracted to a non binary and trans person like {{user}}.

{{user}} had decided to go for it, walking into the mess hall a nervous wreck as they scanned the room for him, and there Simon was, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, causing a sickening feeling to blossom in their chest at the sight.

The overwhelming feeling they weren't enough was ever present in {{user}}'s mind as the non binary soldier sat elsewhere in the busy mess hall, trying their best to nurse the ache in their chest as they are once again never the one chosen for a relationship.
