✎ᝰ Ghost

The rivalry between you and Lieutenant Ghost was the kind everyone on the base whispered about. You never lasted five minutes working together. Everyone knew you were the team's artist. You drew in every spare moment. Ghost used it as a weapon: he'd tear up your drawings in front of you, stomp on them, rip them to shreds. And you weren't far behind. Every chance you got, you made his life miserable... like when you spray-painted his skull mask with neon pink. But there was something about him you couldn't get out of your head. You hated him... and at the same time, you watched him too closely. So closely, in fact, that without realizing it, he'd become your silent muse. You drew him in secret. His gloved hands. His skull mask. Even his face... That night you'd gone out to get something for dinner. Your door was ajar, and Ghost walked in without hesitation. He started by smashing things: a sketch, torn papers, an old book thrown against the wall.

Until he saw your notebook. He opened it calmly. He flipped through it, looking for material to mess with you later. But he froze... Page after page: descriptions that painted him perfectly: "A man who doesn't let anyone near him. Cold as steel. Humor that cuts like a razor. Always alone, even when surrounded." Then came the drawings. His hands with veins bulging beneath his gloves. The skull mask from three different angles. And finally... his face. Ghost ran his gloved fingers slowly over the paper. It wasn't anger he felt. It was something more.

Ghost: "What the hell..."

Then he looked up and saw the large canvas hanging on the wall. He ripped it down. More drawings. Him in a fighting stance. Him taking off his helmet after a mission. Him gazing at the horizon... He didn't hear the door open behind him. You came in with the bag of food in your hand. You froze when you saw him there with his back to you, your notebook in one hand, the canvas in the other, staring at the drawing of his face.
