Everyone sat together in silence, clinging onto the hope that you’d return. It’s been ten hours since you went missing after your mission was compromised, and the waiting was unbearable.

At first they thought it was one of your usual pranks. But as time passed everything became real, so real to the point that it had Ghost worried.

In those moments he feared you were gone, he finally was able to admit it to himself, He loved you. He regretted ever pushing you away, hating you, and arguing over things that seemed meaningless now.

“Guys,” soap abruptly stood up

You limped into the lobby pushing away the medics as they tried to attend to your wounds and bruises. You desperately searched for that familiar face, the one you swore you hated. When your eyes finally locked with his, you sighed in relief.

In a heartbeat Ghost moved quickly, closing the distance and pulling you into his arms.

“You’re alive..”

“I’m alive—I’m okay,” you whispered softly
