The New Life I Lead

Two

I own nothing and I really hope everyone's ok!

Roach followed Ghost, looking around the corridor. He had heard laughter coming from the other hall, and tapped Ghost on the shoulder. " Hm? " Ghost turned the face him. ' Where's the laughter coming from? ' He wrote. " Ah, that's the team in the rec room. You'll meet'em later. " He continued to walk and Roach began to wonder about his balaclava.

' What's up with the balaclava? Meat and Archer never had their faces covered. ' Though Roach would never admit it, the skull pattern and red tinted shades gave him a slight heart attack. Ghost finally stopped and unlocked and a door, motioning for Roach to go in first. The room was clean, with a simple desk and chair, a bed, and drawer. He set down his backpack and put his hand on the wall, glancing around. " Well? Live up to your standards? " ' Yeah. It's nice. '

Ghost, leaning on the door, looked down the hallway. " I'll take ya to the rec room, and see the other buggers. " He muttered. Roach nodded, and shut the door behind him, and walked a small distance behind him.

Ghost stayed silent the entire walk, occasionally looking back at the FNG. The Brit couldn't help but be curious about him. ' He's mute, alright, this is new. ' He sighed. ' Shit, I hope no one teases him for that.' Ghost stopped as soon as he realized he heard only one pair of footsteps, and stole a glance behind him.

Roach was staring at a pretty large room, glancing around. ' I'm guessing this is the cafeteria? At least I know where it is now. ' " Oi! Roach! " Ghost called out to him, and Roach jogged up to him, smiling. " Just a bit more, mate. " Ghost told him, and continued walking. ' What is it with him smiling? ' It urked Ghost that Roach smiled. He expected sadness from him, but Roach had the bubbly happy aura. A barking laugh sounded from the rec room and Ghost rolled his eyes. " What's the fucking ruckus? " He scanned each face, looking for signs of drunkenness. " Nothing sir! " Royce laughed.

' Sometimes I wonder how I put up with these bitches. ' Ghost mentally facepalmed. A quick tug on his sleeve had him looking at Roach, who looked a bit uncomfortable. " Aye, we've got a new FNG on our hands. " Roach squirmed under the looks. Scarecrow snuck behind him and suddenly clapped him on the back, which startled Roach and resulted in a kick to the stomach. Scarecrow doubled over in pain saying, " Holy shit, he kicks hard. " Roach helped him up and scribbled something on the notepad. ' I'm so sorry! ' Scarecrow waved him off. " It's alright, was bound to happen anyway. " Tsk, Scarecrow, I told you. " Ozone said and waved at Roach. " What's crackin FNG? " He was responded with a shy wave.

Royce shook his hand. " Nice to meet'cha rookie. " He chuckled. " Don't worry we won't bite, sit down. " Roach hesitated and looked at Ghost, who nodded, and sat down. Ghost scanned the room a bit, asking, " Where's Toad, Archer and Meat? "

" Toad and Archer are probably at the range, and Meat's probably in his room. " Ozone said with his eyes glued to the TV. Ghost stayed for a second before making his way to Soap's office. " Ugh, I need to talk to him on this. " He muttered.

Hi! So I'm thinking of doing different points of views, but I don't wanna put the * this person's POV * since it's mostly Ghost and Roach. What do you think?
