I waited outside before i followed Ghost back into the safe house. He and Soap were talking, i didn't pay much attention. I slid down a wall and sat on the floor beneath it. I stared at my boots and clicked the tops of them together.

"I'll be back, alright." I suddenly saw Soap walk out of the house.

I looked up, confused.

"Where'd he go?" I looked to Ghost.

"Went to go look at the car, make sure it's alright to run when we leave." Ghost was standing at the back of the safe house, away from me.

I nodded to myself. I stared at Ghost, he wasn't paying attention to me at the moment. I forgot how big he was at times, it still surprises me when i look at him. Well over six foot, muscular. I wonder when he'd finally let me see all of that. And his face.

Ghost met my eyes abruptly. I looked away as soon as he did.

"I already caught you." Ghost said.

I avoided his stare.

"What's the matter?" He spoke again.

I sighed, looking at ghost again. I leaned my head back against the wall.

"Can i ask you something?" I said.

"Go ahead."

I hesitated for a moment, pursing my lips and staring at the floor while trying to find my words.

"Will you ever let me see your face." I looked to Ghost when i finished speaking.

He didn't say anything at first. I thought i might've messed up by asking it. I looked back to the floor, embarrassed i even asked.

"Why do you want to?" He finally spoke.

"I'm just..curious what's underneath the mask." I bit my lip.

Ghost stood still, staring at the wall next to him. I got up carefully, feeling like if i made any noise it would change whatever decision he eventually would make. I walked over to Ghost, he finally looked at me.

"Please, Ghost." I said.

He again, didn't say anything. I tried to grab his hand but he moved it away.

"Maybe this isn't the right thing for us." Ghost said.

I was taken aback, wondering if i had just heard him wrong or didn't understand what he was saying.

"What-what isn't the right thing?" I asked, my face full of confusion. "Me seeing your face?"

"Us, y/n." His voice dropped. "I think this was a mistake."

I stepped back. What the fuck did he mean?

"A mistake?" I chewed at the inside of my cheek. "A fucking mistake, Ghost? Are you kidding me?"

"I said what i had to say." He walked past me, narrowly avoiding my shoulder.

"Don't walk away from me Ghost. You cant just say that to me and walk away."

Ghost stood at the door. "I'll be back before we go, be ready."

I watched as Ghost left the safe house, leaving me standing inside, alone.

I didn't know whether or not to be angry or sad. Scream or cry. How the hell does he just do that to me. Earlier fucking today i felt asleep holding his goddamn hand, how does he up and change his mind so quickly. Was it because i wanted to see his face? He couldn't be that upset because of i asked to see his damn face. He showed me part of it yesterday, while he was literally fingering me. What the fuck is his problem.
