Being in a relationship with Ghost was... strange. He was distant and cold, and his affection came in sudden spurts.

Indy was in the middle of getting a snack from the vending machine outside her office when she felt someone rest their chin against her shoulder, arms snaking around her waist.

"Where were you this morning?" Ghost grumbled out while gently shoving Indy's jaw with the top of his head, lightly glaring at her from under his mask— a small sign he wanted affection.

"Hello, nice to see you too, love. Oh, me? I'm doing well. Missed you this morning, too, but I had back-to-back briefings and meetings to deal with." Indy responds, not at all phased by her boyfriend's antics.

Ghost's arms tightening around her waist. He was like an overly-affectionate cat, albeit with more of an edge to his actions. He huffs a bit and continues hugging her tightly, cheek nuzzling her shoulder. 

"Mm. You're cute." He mutters, a hint of amusement in his tone despite him sounding serious all the time.

"Thank you, darling." She smiles at the compliment.

He hums in response, cheek rubbing against her neck as he presses his face into her. "What did I do to deserve you?" He mumbles, still nuzzling her.

"Be yourself." Indy answers sincerily.

He pulls back slightly and looks up at her with a bit of a raised eyebrow, a faint smile noticable through his mask. "What? I'm a pain in the ass and an introvert." He points out.

"Kettle, meet pot." She chuckles.

This comment takes Ghost by surprise, letting out a soft laugh. "I mean... you're not wrong." He admits. "I'm too used to being alone and detached that I don't know what to do with you sometimes."

Indy was well aware of how Ghost normally operates. She doesn't hold it against him, though, knowing it'll just take some time for him to feel fully comfortable and open up. "Just love me and you will be fine."

"I can do that." Ghost responds, squeezing her to him again. "And I do love you, even when my grumpy side shows or when I'm distant."

She nuzzles him in return. "Your grumpy side is cute. Cute agression is a thing, you know."

He laughs again at that, his face turning slightly red. "You would say that." Ghost turns a bit more serious as he remembers that he couldn't find Indy earlier that day. "Hmf... you're never missing. At least not long enough that I notice. You should let me know if you disappear for half of a day..."

It's a bit of a new experience for Indy, seeing Ghost act like this. It makes her feel a bit warm inside and protected knowing he keeps an eye on her and looks for her if she's gone too long. "Alright, I'll text you next time."

He huffed, turning his head to look at her— the fact she caught him being vulnerable seemed to embarrass him. "Whatever... don't worry about it." He mutters.

"I think I will, actually." Indy turns around to hug him. Ghost stiffened at first, but he soon relaxed in her arms and returns the hug.

Ghost just stayed silent for a moment before whispering. "Don't tell anyone."
