(It's going to be a longer chapter, its over 3000 words :] )

Ghost hummed as he grabbed a towel and wash cloth, walking to the bathroom and turning on the water. He made a few noises of relief as he stripped out of his work clothes, getting in the shower. He washed his body and hair in a orderly fashion before getting out, drying off, and getting dressed into more comfortable clothes. He stepped out of the bathroom and closing the door before going to his room, he needed some downtime.

Hearing the door close signaled you that he was out of the shower and it was time for you. You walked upstairs and into your room, grabbing baggy clothes before going into the bathroom. You stepped into the shower and washed your hair; by the time you washed out the soap ghost was downstairs, picking out a movie to watch. You began to wash your body, trying not to look down at it. You always hated how the scars from work, the past, and the few from yourself reminded you of everything you've been through: the pain of losing people you love and heck even your teammates, the trmatic childhood that you have to claim as your own,and just the the general downsides of being a soldier. Overtime you've learned to manage looking at your body but you don't want to risk having a meltdown. Not infrot of him.

You washed off your body and washed your face before stepping out, turning off the water and drying off. You threw on the clothes you picked out and walked downstairs to find ghost watching a movie. You sat next to him, not to close but not to far away.

You glanced at him for a second before looking back at the TV "whatchya watching?" He looked at you for a moment, you able to feel his gaze. "Just a comedy movie, i didn't want to watch anything to heavy like a horror film. I needa unwind so somthing light sounds better" he said, looking back at the TV with a shrug. "Oh- I forgot to ask, your not injured in any way from the mission, correct?" He said softly

You shook your head "nope, I'm all good." You replied looking at him with a small smile before looking back at the TV. He nodded "I'd trust you would tell me if anything is wrong. We have another mission, price sent me the details so I'll look over them soon."

You nodded in return "do you know who's all with us on this one and do you know the basis of what it is?" You asked with a sigh,you can never catch a brake from work.

He chuckled quietly "high profile crime in Spain, just you and me" he shook his head "it's probably better if I head this one. I'd rather be on the Frontline, I'm not putting you out there with me"

You looked over to him, "I want to go with you, I can handle it ya know" you said, eyes scanning his mask as if you could see an expression. "I know" He said as he shook his head and sighed "I know you can, but I need you behind the lines. It will look suspicious if anyone is with me. You will run servalance."

That caught your attention "so your going by yourself?" You ask, attempting to hide the worry in your voice but it slips through "one is none L.t, atleast bring someone else like Soap, it dosnt have to be me." You hated the idea of him being by himself on a mission.

"I'll be by myself and you will be working behind the scenes and that's that. And I'm not dragging Soap into this." He said, shaking his head "I've got nothing but me and you, that's all I need."

"But-" you sigh, knowing you won't win. "Yes sir.. when are we leaving?" You ask, giving up as your eyes find themselves back at the TV. "Not sure yet, probably the day after tomorrow" he sighed, tugging at his hair. He was obviously stressed and uncomfortable.

You saw him pulling his hair out of the corner of your eye. This guided your attention back to him, now looking at him once again. "You alright?" You said in a softer voice than you have all night to attempt to comfort him.
