Only you - ghost x reader

I went to my room and closed the door behind me. I went to my bed and sat on the edge.
I pulled my knees up a bit and supported my head with my hands.
What just happened? And by that I don't mean that john tried to kiss me.
What I have to think about right now is that Ghost insisted on taking me to my room and took care of me.
I touched the spot on my face where he wiped away a tear with his finger. The man who hardly spoke to me just stood up for me.

I wanted to get right back up and head to Ghost's room to thank him, but I knew it wasn't a good idea.

I knew I had to confront John about the situation tomorrow.
I briefly considered doing it now, but drunk as he was earlier I probably wouldn't get a reasonable answer. I decided to wait and see tomorrow and got ready for bed.

Once I've changed and brushed my teeth, lay me in my bed and find the covers over me.
I closed my eyes and tried not to think about what had just happened half an hour ago.
It actually worked, I didn't have to think about how John had behaved today.
Instead, the moment in which ghost touched my face to wipe the tears from my face played over and over again in my head. I felt my body become warm and my stomach tingled.
maybe he's not as cold as I thought.
Maybe behind that cold facade was a warm heart. I really need to find that out.

The next morning I got up before my alarm clock rang. We had another shooting training session on the field in the morning.
So I jumped in the shower and put on my uniform.

On the way to the practice site, I remembered that today I had to confront John about what happened yesterday, which I really didn't want to do.
I didn't want to meet him but I couldn't avoid it.

I had to think straight back to Ghost and what he had done yesterday.
My stomach tingled again at the thought. what was wrong with me?
I looked forward to seeing the man I disliked the most of all from the start.

When I arrived at the practice site, I found only Soap. I looked around but John and Ghost were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the others?" I asked Soap.
"John is in bed hung over, he won't be participating in the exercise today. Ghost was sent on an urgent mission tonight, Price didn't want to say more. So we're going to do the training alone today," he replied.

I was disappointed that I couldn't do target practice with Ghost again. I was looking forward to being able to be close to him again like last time.

So Soap and I trained alone today. I liked Soap very much, I was able to have a good conversation with him.
But during the training I could only think of Ghost and wondered where he was and when he would be back.

I'm trying to keep this as realistic as I can, so I can't be writing smutty things from the beginning but you're not ready for what's about to come, I promise. ❤️
