Simon Riley (Ghost)

Ever since you joined the base, you became close to Ghost. You liked being by his side despite his personality, and in fact, Ghost didn't mind your presence; it was quite the opposite. He didn't say it with words, but it was clear that he enjoyed your company. He had always been the best at everything he did, focusing intensely on his work and executing it perfectly, but that began to change. He started acting more distracted, as if he had something on his mind day and night; he wouldn't pay attention to your words, only nodding slowly while looking into your eyes and smiling faintly—a tiny smile that was barely noticeable, but a smile nonetheless.
Today, you were explaining something to Ghost about a mission you'd have in a few weeks, and once again, he wasn't paying attention, just staring into your eyes as if he were hypnotized.

Ghost... You're not listening again

Suddenly, the words came out before you could think properly

Ghost: I love you..
