Love from afar (Ghost)

In the heart of the battlefield, amidst the chaos and danger, Sergeant Simon "Ghost" Riley found himself constantly drawn to Y/N, their lieutenant. She was more than just a commanding officer; she was the beating heart of their unit, a beacon of strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

From the moment Ghost had joined the team, he had admired Y/N from afar. Her unwavering determination, her selflessness, her ability to lead with both compassion and authority – it all captivated him in ways he couldn't fully explain. But as much as he longed to tell her how he felt, he knew he could never risk putting her in danger.

Their missions were fraught with peril, their enemies ruthless and unforgiving. Any hint of weakness, any personal attachment, could be exploited, could jeopardize not only their lives but the success of their mission. And so, Ghost kept his feelings buried deep within his heart, a silent burden he carried with him on every mission.

But despite his efforts to maintain a professional distance, Ghost found himself unable to escape the pull of his emotions. There were moments, brief and fleeting, when their eyes would meet across the battlefield, when Y/N's smile would light up his world like a beacon in the darkness. And in those moments, Ghost couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to hold her in his arms, to tell her how he felt without fear of consequence.

But reality always came crashing back, a harsh reminder of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. Ghost knew that to admit his feelings for Y/N would be to put her at risk, to expose her to the same dangers that haunted his every waking moment. And so, he remained silent, content to admire her from afar, to cherish the moments they shared on the battlefield, even as he yearned for so much more.

As the war raged on, Ghost and Y/N continued to fight side by side, their bond forged in the crucible of battle. And though Ghost knew he could never tell her how he felt, he found solace in the knowledge that she was safe, that she was still by his side, a guiding light in the darkness.

And so, as they faced each new challenge together, Ghost vowed to protect Y/N with his life, to keep her safe from harm, even if it meant sacrificing his own happiness in the process. For in the end, their mission was clear: to fight, to survive, and to ensure that no matter what, Y/N would always remain out of harm's way.
