Ghost - Hate or love?

From the first day Simon Riley and {{user}} met, one thing was absolutely certain: they couldn't stand each other. He considered her too impulsive, stubborn, and troublesome. She thought Simon was an insufferable arrogant jerk who always believed he was right.

Every conversation ended in an argument. Every mission together turned into an absurd competition to prove who could do it better.

—Can you ever follow an order?

—Can you ever stop giving orders?

—When you stop doing stupid things

—Then we'll be arguing until we're old.

Soap and Gaz had stopped trying to separate them. Even Price seemed to enjoy watching how two people capable of taking on anyone could turn into complete idiots when they were together. But there was something neither of them wanted to admit.

Simon always knew where {{user}} was. And {{user}} always ended up looking for Simon when they needed help. One night, after a complicated mission, they were alone in the base corridor.

—Why do you always do that?

-What thing?

—Act like you hate me

—Because you're unbearable

—That doesn't answer my question.

Simon took a step towards her

—Because when you're around, I have trouble concentrating

—That sounds like your problem.

-It is

For the first time, neither of them had a sarcastic response. Simon looked down at her and let out a small laugh.

—I guess we've been trying to win a war that none of us wanted to end for too long

—Does that mean you're finally admitting you like me?

—Don't exaggerate

—Simon

—You matter to me
