Chamber of Secrets | Ghost x Reader

Chapter 40 - Catch

"Don't be ridiculous now, and let's take a seat first. I prefer not to crash my face because stupid reason." You said after a fleeting moment of silence.

You could feel how Ghost narrowed his eyes on you, but he listened to what you said and turned around and took his seat. The others are also following him, while Price, on the other hand, already sits in front with the pilot. Telling him of where to go next and also wanting to inform Laswell with the radio in the aircraft.

Ghost, Soap, and Gaz sit across from you while Roach chooses to sit beside you, taking off his helmet and glasses and showing off his full face.

As you didn't feel like looking at the people in front of you, you opted to look down at the dog tag still in your hand.

Thinking about the cute boy you barely know yet he trusts you much to keep his dog tag for him... You wonder how he died. How was his last facial expression? What does he feel when he knows it's his time? Did he think about you? That's why he chose you over his maybe closest friend from Los Vaqueros? 

Because Los Vaqueros seems to like him a lot. He has a lot of friends, and he is definitely popular amongst them. But then, why you? 

As you keep thinking about him, a feeling you know all too familiar slowly creeps in your chest. Trying to restrict the way of air to your lungs. You close your eyes and try to think about something else while your hand subconsciously closes around the dog tag and holds it tighter as the time goes by. 

Please no. Not right now. 

You take a deep breath, then let it out slowly as you lean against your seat, then rest your head against the metal wall of the aircraft behind you.

"Daddy...." You called out to your dad from where you're sitting, not too far from him, boredly watching him do his work.

"Yes, angel?" He sweetly replied as his hands kept digging and placing the landmine inside, then buried them.

"I boweeddd.. Can I help you?" You pout as you hug the dino stuffy tighter, placing your chin on top of the doll and watching him still working on the mine. 

"Daddy's okay, sunshine. Just with you watching me, you already give me so much energy; Daddy doesn't even feel tired at all." He slightly looks over his shoulder to look at you, and you give him your sweet smile. Then he goes back to dig another hole. 

"But daaaddd.. I boweedd.. I wan do something.."

"As much as I appreciate your help, darling," He shakes his head. "It's dangerous and dirty. All you have to do is be pretty and good for Daddy and Mommy, yeah?" He placed another mine and buried them, and finally got up and turned around to face you. Both hands on his hip as he gives you his signature smile.

Although you are still pretty annoyed because your father never let you do anything, you look up at him and give him yet another sweet smile.

"Can we play now?" You cutely flutter your eyes at him, knowing he can't resist whenever you do this trick to him. 

He squinted his eyes at you as he let out a small smirk. "You catch me?" He asked as he tilted his head a little to the side. 

You slowly get up, tightening your hold on the stuffy before you quickly turn around and run inside the house. "You catch me!" You squealed as you heard his footsteps following behind you.

"I'll catch you!" He playfully threatened as he chased you from behind. When you look back to see him, he raises both his hands up, mimicking a bear while he makes a face to make him look scary.
