You and Ghost had been dating for quite some time now, but he always refused to meet your family. He didn't have any family of his own, so you just assumed he didn't want to be a burden.

A week before Christmas, you were both sitting through a briefing while the Captain talked about the Christmas break. Ghost just sat there, looking at the wall, disassociated. You knew it was bothering him, he didn't have anywhere to go for Christmas. He sighed quietly, not to disturb anyone, but you heard him.
