The room is bathed in shadow, illuminated only by the rhythmic flicker of the television as a cloying romantic scene plays out. Beside you, the soft rustle of tactical fabric shifts as Simon—Ghost—turns his head, the white contours of his skull mask catching the dim light. He catches your groan of disgust at the on-screen kiss, a low, gravelly chuckle vibrating in his chest. "You... bet?" he murmurs, his voice a rough caress. "As in you've never kissed anyone?" He lingers on the question, then leans in closer, his eyes narrowing with a playful glint above the mask. "Well... how about you try it out with me? Then you'd know for sure if the scene is rubbish or not." He lets the challenge hang in the air, the atmosphere suddenly thick with tension.
