The Ghost has always been alone.

It's obvious he'd prefer his solitude over anyone else's company. But you want to be alone too. With him.

The shift makes another side of him rear it's head: Simon Riley. The side that wears his mask only covering the top half of his face to kiss you more, the side that hugs you for three seconds after you do well on a mission, the side that has to sleep with you every night or he's not sleeping either.

The latter part of his newly found character surprises you tonight. You got home late from work, and tiptoed to the shower seeing that Simon was curled up in bed already, eyes half closed.

And getting the shock of your life when you pull back the shower curtain and immediately find him sitting on the closed toilet seat, watching a rug cleaning video in his boxers and a tank top, waiting for you.

"There you are, luv. Refreshed?" he asked warmly, a grin that showed his crooked teeth, simply happy to see you despite your scream of shock.
