My Love (ghost x reader)

chapter 4: exercise

You woke up, reaching next to you as your body goes cold. He's gone. Was last night just a dream? A hallucination? Did you fall asleep during the movie and he carried you to your room after? You let out a shaky sigh before sitting up, staring at the blank wall infront of you for a few moments before getting up.

You walked into the bathroom, looking yourself in the mirror. You let out a soft chuckle. You couldn't believe that you thought that it was possible to think he liked you the way you did him. You shook your head as you grabbed a hair brush, brushing out the knots in your hair. You walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind you before walking down stairs.

You took a deep breath preparing to face ghost, not Simon, not his face, but ghost with his dumb mask. That thought was cut short when you saw him, mask off, face exposed. You let out a sigh of relief before approaching him, giving him a hesatent hug from behind as he was cooking breakfast. He jumped but then turned around in your arms, picking you up and hugging your body against his. “Mmm I didn’t hear you come down.” He chuckled.

You let a smile show on the edges of your lips. Thank God. Last night was real, not just a stupid dream. You continued to hug him after he picked you up. You responded with a small chuckle, trying to seem natural as if you didn't have a mini panic attack just because he got up earlier than you.

“I didn’t expect you up this early. Did I wake you?” He asked you, looking down at you, humming. You shook your head "no, I just wake up early sometimes" you said with a smile. He let go of you before turning back to the stove and continuing to cook. You leaned against the counter, watching him cook. You already miss the feeling of him hugging around you, his body heat, the tast of his lips.

He nodded and smiled softly, finishing up the work and scraping the food onto two plates. He hummed as he poured two glasses of water before walking to the table, you followed with the glasses in your hand. You and him swapped his glass of water for your plate before sitting down, looking at the food he made.  "thanks for making food" you said with a smile, looking at him. You couldn't help but feel slightly bad, he made the food last time aswell. You made a small promise to yourself to make food next time. “Of course. I don’t mind.” He responded with a hum and began eating, quickly piling food into his mouth. He was used to having to eat quickly in the field. You could say it was a habit of his.

You began to eat, a bit slower than him. You wanted to tell him that he can slow down, to relax a bit. But you felt that would sound rude so you just continued to eat, taking a drink of water every few bites. Simon finished then leand back into his chair to stretch. "We have a new assignment. I'll look over it this morning after we finnish business here." He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. You nodded, looking at him. You've always hated to see him stressed. "What else do we have to do here?" You questioned as you finished your food, taking a another drink of water.

“Not much. I’m not going out. I draw too much attention and I don’t show my face.” He sighed and stood up, collecting their dishes and walking to the kitchen, washing them off in the sink. “You could help me review the file if you wanted. It helps to have someone to bounce ideas off.” you nodded while watching him clean off the dishes "alright, I will" you said with a smile

"is it the mission you were talking about last night or is it a no go?" You asked, hopping it wasn't that mission. You really didn't want him out there by himself. Sure it's Simon 'Ghost' Riely and he works better alone, but you can't help but let your mind wonder to where it can go all wrong. One bad move and he's gone; that's the risk of being in 141, dangerous missions that you have to rely on other people on. But he wants to go alone, refusing anyone to go with. You were coming but just as someone to watch the servalance of Mexico, Las Amas most likely. Sure you were helping but yoy wanted to be out there with him, protect him.
