It's the next morning after the encounter with Ghost. You've been awake since 2am thinking about the entire thing. Why was he like this? Does he act this way to everyone? Why did you enjoy his touch so much? Is it because you're touch deprived and starved? You wanted to know, you needed to know.
Your alarm goes off at the same time as yesterday, 4:30am. Hopping out of bed you head into the bathroom to do your morning routine, changing into your gear. This time you make sure to get to the training yard on time, walking out at 4:50. There was no Ghost in sight, you stood there till 5:10am very confused on why he was late or not there. After a while you decided to walk back inside, giving up on waiting..plus you were cold.
As you walked into the base you heard a heated discussion coming from Captain Prices office. Curious you quietly walked over and listened through the door.
"Simon, you're putting me between a rock and a hard place. I don't have any other soldiers to pair her with." price said with an annoyed tone to his voice.
"I can't work with her. She isn't learning anything from training and she's..a distraction."
Distraction?
"I'll see what I can do, but we leave for the mission tomorrow. I can't make any promises."
You can hear loud foot steps coming towards the door, you panic, walking away to act normal. The door swings open and closes loudly but you made it to your barrack before anyone noticed you ease dropping on the conversation.
You plop down on your bed for a while, thinking about everything that happened and what you just heard, your feelings are conflicted. Yes, you might be military smart, but not as clever when it comes to feelings and hidden messages.

**Time skip to the next morning***
Mission Day
————————————————————-
Luckily you don't have to leave for the mission until around 1pm, so there is plenty of time to rest, prepare, and pack. You got to sleep in till 9am. When you woke up you noticed Sage was already up and gone for the morning, probably at the gun vault or preparing for the mission.
There was a soft knock at your door, breaking your thoughts.
"Come in!" you shouted from your bed.
The door opened and in came Soap, smiling like he always is.
"Morning, (Y/N)!" he walks in a few steps "Are you hungry?"
you nod "Actually, yeah, I could definitely eat.."
"I am making some bacon and eggs down in the mess hall if you'd like to join us."
"Us?" you said curiously, wondering where Ghost is.
"Gaz and I are in the mess hall. Price should be joining us soon! Ghost is..still asleep I think? Which is weird, that guy never sleeps." his mind seems to go into thought before he stops himself "Anyway, yes, food! It will be ready in 10 minutes. You need to eat before the mission so don't be late, girl!" he begins to walk out of the room
"Okay, Mr. Mohawk!" you laugh
"Hey! Ladies dig the Mohawk! Put some respect on it!" he flips you off playfully as he shuts the door
Soap was one of the only people here who seemed to care about your well being. He was very kind and actually wanted to talk to you besides Sage. You decided to peel yourself out of bed and head to the bathroom, taking a quick shower and getting dressed before heading out to the mess hall. You were wearing black tights, fuzzy socks, and a oversized gray T-shirt that said "ARMY" in big letters. Your hair in a messy bun.
You walk into the mess hall and see Soap and Gaz sitting down at the little table, eating their food.
Soap looks at you and smiles "About time you got down here slow poke! I was going to eat your food." he grins
Gaz laughs "Don't worry, I would've stopped him."
You let out a chuckle, grabbing your plate off the counter and sitting down between Soap and Gaz "I'd just have to beat him up.." you look at Soap with a evil smile
"I'm your dreams, (Y/N)! I could definitely take you down." he says as he lifts up his arms showing off his "guns"
You shake your head as you laugh, going to take a bite of your food and indulge in the flavor. You haven't had good food in a while it feels like.
You, Gaz, and Soap relax for a while, chatting and cracking jokes before the door to the mess hall opens and a tall, dark figure walks in. There he is..Simon Riley.
Everyone goes quiet as they look at Ghost, including you.
"Well, nice of you to join us, Lt! There's some leftover eggs and bacon if you'd like some." he smiles at him
Ghost nods but doesn't say a word and walks over to the stove, grabbing himself a plate of eggs and bacon, walking over to the kitchen counter to eat. He stands as he eats, you watch him closely confused on how he is going to eat with a mask on.
He slowly grabs the edge of him mask and pulls it up to above his nose, taking a bite of bacon. Your body tensed as you watch him closely. His jaw line is so defined and his lips look soft. He even has a little stubble..5 o'clock shadow. He is beautiful from what you can see so far. You can't help but stare at him as he eats..you want to soak it all in.
His eyes quickly divert to you, catching you starting at him. You quickly look away feeling embarrassed and act as if you were doing something else, fumbling with your fork. He chuckles quietly, but you heard it.
Soap broke the silence "Well, we have an hour till the mission, I'm going to go pack up and get ready. See you guys at the chopper." he bumps your shoulder with his fist gently and walks out of the mess hall.
"I guess I should as well..see you later (Y/N), and Ghost." Gaz smiles at you and the to Ghost, walking out of the mess hall, following Soap.
The room was super quiet. You could hear a pin drop from how silent it was. You look up at him once again, but he was still eating his food.
You broke the silence "So, are you ready for the mission?" you said nervously
"Yes, are you?" he said, his voice cold
"Yeah..I think I'm ready." you said softly, watching him.
"I'm saying this as your Lieutenant. Don't fuck up. I have to be your partner so listen to everything I saw so we can get in and get out. No mistakes." this time he says while looking at you, his eyes still have that tired, blank look to them.
"Yes, sir." you nod, standing up from the table and walking your plate, Soaps, and Gazs to the sink which is right behind Ghost.
"See, you remembered to call me sir. Such a good girl." he says so comfortably, like it was nothing.
You froze, your body tense from hearing him call you a good girl. Not knowing how to respond.
"Be at the chopper 1pm sharp." his voice changing back to cold and deep.
"Yes, sir.." you say as you watch him walk out of the mess hall.
You start to think he might like hearing you say that.
