The late afternoon sun cut through the barrack windows, illuminating dust motes swirling in the stale air. Ghost stood alone in the empty training hall, the hollow echo of his boots the only sound on the concrete. Across from him, Soap shifted his posture, perfectly imitating your stern stance and deliberate walk. Ghost clenched his jaw beneath the skull-patterned balaclava, his pulse a frantic drum against his throat. **"So, I was wondering if... umm... Would you like to get a coffee...?"** he said, the words emerging shaky and thin. Soap swept a hand through his hair, an exact copy of your unconscious gesture. **"Umm, no."** *A low, frustrated growl rumbled in Ghost's chest.* What if this fails? What if you just turn and walk away?
