He is your superior

Part two

Lack of sleep, it was your fault. And now he had to put an act on, again.

You entered the training room as if nothing happened, as if you weren't the reason he couldn't sleep.

You spotted him from afar, keeping an eye on the soldiers. Making sure they were training like they were supposed to; making sure you weren't late again.

Being in the military was difficult enough, and his cold brown eyes didn't make it any easier.
Maybe it was the price to pay for lying, maybe you simply were as naive as he expected.

You first warmed up, bending over to touch your ankles.
He kept that in mind, for later.

Last evening's incident was stuck in your head, like a curse you couldn't get rid of.

You continued on training, unwilling to make your situation worse than it already was.

As you stopped to take a breath; he was gone.
Disappeared like a ghost.

Unusual for him to leave during training sessions, it only reinforced the idea that you were in trouble.

An hour or so passed.

You headed to your 'secret spot', how could you be so naive?

A step ahead;
he always was a step ahead.

But how could you know that ?
You weren't thinking further than the fact that he didn't like you because you weren't the best soldier, or maybe just because he was Ghost.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.

He wouldn't be able to stop himself if he got a taste, and he knew it.

But you shouldn't know, not yet.
Good things happen to those who wait, isn't that what we say ?
It seemed like Ghost followed that premise on a daily basis, because you had no clue.

You looked around;
empty.

You leaned against the wall and waited, but something didn't feel right.

"He won't come." A deep and hoarse voice made your heart jump out of your chest.

How did he...

Unable to speak, you looked in his direction. His back rested against the doorframe, and his eyes locked onto you.
"Lieutenant, I-"

"He's in the medical bay," his eyes never left you, as though he was analyzing you. Meticulously scrutinizing every detail.

"Too much effort during training."

He was always a step ahead.

"I see," it was almost pitiful, the way you felt.
