Daddy Issues /Ghost x reader/

10.

"Yeah, well.." You sit down next to him, staring at the floor. "I don't think it's that surprising that I have daddy issues.." Ghost's eyes widen a bit.

"Wait.. So you do like me?" He looks confused.

"N-no.." Your answer's way too quick for him to believe it. "Yeah, sorry.."

"How?" He chuckles. "You don't even know what I look like, y/n."

"I can't control it, okay?" She sighs, laying back on his bed. He can't help but smirk under his mask. "Just.. forget this even happened.. That I told you this and like.. Everything about this."

"Yeah, I was planning on that." He smiles. "Why do you have daddy issues anyways?" He lays down next to you, looking at your eyes as you turn on your side, looking back into his.

"What kinda question is that..?" You chuckle a bit and Ghost can't help his gaze falling down to your lips. God, you're the most beautiful human being he's ever seen.

"I mean.. What makes you like older men?" You could swear you seen him lean just half an inch closer, but you're also way too focused on his eyes.

"My mom left us when I was about 3.. She never wanted me and so she took matters into her own hands and left me home alone while my dad was working. Since then, I haven't seen her. After that, my dad became an alcoholic from missing her and not really being able to take care of me and from that, everything went downhills.. He hit me a bunch of times or just yelled at me when he had a worse day than usually.." You look up at the ceiling, but Ghost's eyes never leave your face. "I guess daddy issues is a part of this all. The fact that I've never had the fatherly type of love since I was like 3 and all that care that would've come with it. I always wanna make my crushes proud because my father was never proud of me." She looks back at him. "It's complicated, but a combo of all of this causes pretty severe daddy issues." You chuckle to lighten the mood a bit.

"Okay.. I understand now." He stands up and extends his arm towards you. You grab his hand and he helps you stand up. "I'll make you a warm bath and bring you some dry clothes, while you're taking the bath, okay?" You nod a bit and follow him in the bathroom. His is way bigger than yours and you only have a shower while he has that and a bathtub.

"You're gonna make me.." You stop talking before you could say the other part of the sentence.

"Do go on." He smirks.

"You don't want me to fall for you, so you shouldn't take care of me like this.."

"Oh, please.. You already have." He chuckles.

"Shut up." You gently punch his arm.

"It was a command anyways to take care of you." He leans down to the bathtub, taking his gloves off after starting to fill the bathtub with water. Your gaze falters to his hands, because you haven't even seen them without gloves. He checks the water's temperature as he sits down on the side of the bathtub. Your throat dries up as you see him stuggling to see what temperature would be best for you.. To see him care about even the smallest thing about you fills your stomach with butterflies.

"I bet that's good enough already.." You walk up to him, leaning down to check the water. "Yeah, that's perfect." She smiles at him.

"Right.. I'll get you some clothes then." He smiles, standing up and going to your quarters. You close the door but doesn't lock it so he could come in once he has the clothes. Your worn and wet clothes land on the floor quickly before you get into the bathtub, relaxing as you put your head back. You feel your body heat up from the hot water and your thoughts aren't helping as you think about how Ghost knows exactly how to push all your buttons.. Gosh, what if he was in here right now? If he was helping you wash your body.. The thoughts only help your body feel even hotter as suddenly the door opens and you sit up to cover up a bit, hugging your legs against your chest. "Sorry, I won't bother you longer, okay? But I brang you your shampoo as well, so you wouldn't have to smell like a man." He smiles.

"Thanks." You chuckle, taking it from him. You see how he looks at your back or other parts of your naked body that he can actually see well.

"Are you.. Are you okay?" He asks quietly. "I mean like.. Are you feeling sick or uh..?" The care in his eyes makes your stomach completely flip.

"I'm okay." You smile up at him.

"Alright. Shout if you need me." With that, he leaves, finally letting you relax back into the bathtub.

After a while when the water's gotten cold, you dry yourself off with a towel and dress up to go back out to him.
