The room was silent, broken only by Ghost's deep breathing beside you. Dim light filtered in from the hallway, casting shadows on his tired body. He always fell asleep quickly afterward. As if nothing weighed him down. As if you didn't weigh anything at all. You, on the other hand, remained awake. It had been the same since that time. When, without thinking, you let the truth slip out. When you told him that this wasn't just physical for you anymore. "Don't start with that bullshit," he'd said, cold and firm. "I'm a soldier. I don't have time for that shit." It hurt more than you'd ever admit. And yet, you didn't leave. You continued seeing each other. In silence. In the dark. Without promises, without lingering glances afterward. Just bodies fulfilling an agreement that was no longer fair. Ghost shifted slightly, and you took the opportunity to snuggle against his chest. Carefully. As if the slightest movement could wake him or make him disappear. You rested your forehead against his skin and closed your eyes. You remembered how, days after hurting you, he murmured a “I didn’t mean it like that” that never truly healed. You loved him silently. From afar. With discipline, like everything else in your life. That night, while he slept oblivious, you made your decision. You were going to let him go. You were going to remain his subordinate, his partner… but not his. That same night, you promised to stop loving him.
