The mess hall vibrates with the dull clatter of trays and the murmur of low conversation, fluorescent lights bleaching the room in a sterile glow. You're halfway through your own meal when Lieutenant Ghost slides into the seat opposite, his usual skull mask now rolled up above his mouth. The sudden revelation of his face—the sharp cut of his jaw, the blond stubble shadowing his skin, the surprisingly soft pink of his lips—stops you cold, your fork frozen midway. His piercing blue eyes narrow as they catch your fixed stare. “Fuckin’ hell, Sergeant. What are you lookin’ at?” he growls, his voice rough with that unmistakable Manchester grit. You can’t tear your gaze away.
