Only you - ghost x reader

On the way to Ghost's room, I wondered why he had reacted that way in Price's office earlier. Why does he think it's not a good idea for John and I to be there?

I made a mental note to ask him why he said that.
When I got to his room, I knocked on the door - there was no answer.
Wasn't he there?
I knocked again and finally heard a voice from the room.
"Who's there?" he said without inviting me in.
"It's me." I answered. He seemed to have recognized my voice.
"Come in." he said bluntly. Judging by his voice, he was obviously pissed off.

I opened the door and slowly entered the room.
He stood in the middle of the room, walked towards me and closed the door behind me.
Before I could ask him about his wound, he started talking to me in a loud voice.
"What were you thinking, y/n?" he asked me.
"What do you mean?"
"How could you agree to join our task force? Are you crazy?"
"Because I want to."
"What do you want? Go on life-threatening missions and risk your life to get medical care when we need it? That's stupid."
"Thats not stu.."
"How do you expect me to protect you? I need to focus on the enemy and not on the possibility of you being shot or stabbed."
"You don't have to protect me!"
"Shut up, of course I have to."
"The others can protect me too!"
"Not as good as me, y/n."
"Are you mad now because I joined the team?"
"No. I'm mad because you want to risk your life for something like this."
"I will be fine."
"I'll take care of that."

I looked up at him and looked him straight in the eyes.
His gaze rested on me very gently. Was he worried about me? And does he personally want to ensure that nothing happens to me?
I took a step towards him while still looking at him.
I put my hand on his stomach where the wound was and looked up at him.
He hastily took a step back.
"I took care of my wound myself this morning. Everything is fine."
"Let me see."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Like I said, everything is fine y/n. I have to go to a meeting with Price now. You should get going too. Tonight there will be dinner with everyone to celebrate your joining. I see you there."
Before I could say anything else, he walked to the door and was gone.
I was still in his room. Why didn't he want me to check his wound? Didn't he want me to touch him? Or maybe everything wasn't ok after all?

Before I was spending too much time alone in his room and someone might think I was snooping around, I left the room and made my way to the medical ward.
