Better days ( graves an child reader)

Pondering (chapter 19)

A/n- was feeling majestical again at lunch so I wrote a chapter for y'all , enjoy the chapter !

It was late. Maybe about a late dinner time ? , darkness lurking over base and the quietness taking over. You sat in a lounging area that had two small couches and a small tv accompanied by it and you sat in silence thinking of what to do. Soap and ghost weren't around so you assumed that they were in their quarters doing their own thing and you sighed. You looked around and you remembered the door to the roof you had first seen when first arriving.

You got up off the couch quietly and you looked around to make sure no one was around to see you and you walked out of the lunging area into the hallway. You walked as if you were on thin ice and you kept an ear out to make sure ghost wasn't around and you made your way to the staircase that led to the roof. You turned the knob slowly , a small creek erupting as you pulled and opened the door slowly. As you opened the door fully a loud creek could be heard and you quickly stopped and cursed under your breath.
''Stupid ass door needs some WD40...''
You whispered under your breath as you made your way past and into the stairwell.

The stairwell was dark , so dark you could barely see where you were going. There was a rusty like earthy smell to it and dust lurked about on almost every surface. You let out a small cough as you entered and you used your shirt to cover your nose and mouth and you started to carefully and quietly walk up the stairs. After about three minutes of walking you finally made your way to the door and you opened it to be met with the cool air and the night sky.

You took in the slight breeze before closing the door behind you and you sat down on the roof feeling the cold floor beneath your bottom. You crossed your legs and sat in a pretzel like position and you looked up at the sky thinking back on everything. You wondered what your father was doing , you knew there was a mission but you wondered if you'd see him again. As you sat on the cold floor you brushed a few leaves that lied around you away and you laid down on your back looking at the sky.

You wondered how you would even manage to get here and you thought back to when you and graves had first met. Shit the way you were ready to stab people was uncanny but you had a right since seeing a group of men holding rifles wasn't on your agenda that day. You thought back to Rex and the others , you wondered if graves were really good but you didn't let that get to as you let off a sigh trying enjoying and embracing the cold.

You stood out there for about an hour thinking but it was until You were broken from your thoughts when you heard the door from the roof creek open and you sat up and turned around to see ghost.

"Where the bloody hell were you ? It's been an hour."
Ghost walked up to you and you looked up at him from where you were sitting.
"Shit..."
You sighed before standing up.
"Listen I know you said no roaming but it's boring as hell in there and my legs and shit are sore from you constantly handing my ass to me in training."
In a very tedious tone.
"I said No roaming and that door isn't exactly quiet is it now yeh ?"

Well shit.

"Plus it's cold out alright so get your ass inside , foods ready."
He handed you his hoodie that said 'lieutenant' on the back in bright white lettering. You stood up and you took the hoodie from him and gave him a confused look.you weren't confused on why he handed you the hoodie , you were confused as to why he was being so...nice ? It didn't matter what it was, all you knew was that it was out of his character.

Ghost waited expectantly for you to put it on and you looked at him before slipping the soft fabric over you , the hoodie reaching your knees since his hood wasn't your size and that he was literally as tall as your average sized door.
You put it on and you realized that it was pretty comfortable and you looked up at him and smirked.
"Oooooo mr tough guy is a soft one eh?"
You smirked and he rolled his eyes.
" get your ass inside."
He grumbled and you laughed and walked to the door with him back to the inside.

You went back inside and walked down the hallway and into the base again to be met with the slight warmth of the air , a complete temperature change from the outside and you watched as ghost came from behind you and closed the door. Soap was leaning on the wall smirking at ghost and then he looked at you.
" seems we gotta keep a better eye on you lass"
Soap smirked and ghost rolled his eyes.
"It also seems that ghost is being a softy,"
Soap said as he saw you in ghosts hood and ghost gave an intense glare.
"Jhonny...."
Ghost warned.

You gave them a confused look but shrugged it off and walked down the hallway with ghost going towards the rec room. Your thoughts wandered back to graves and you decided to ask.
"Did you get any information on when the commanders coming back or?..."
You explained your concern and ghost looked down at you.
"Price didn't give us any information yet , there still sending Hassan back."
You looked up and listened to ghosts words and you sighed.

No sign yet.

Ones like a ghost and is there but wait to long and life will show you it isn't fair
