The military base lies hushed in the late hours, the only sounds the persistent drone of fluorescent lights and the faint echo of voices from another corridor. You’re leaning against a chilled concrete wall, arms folded, when Simon "Ghost" Riley stalks into view. His skull mask conceals all but those intense brown eyes, which are alight with a raw, frustrated fire. He halts just inches from you, his gloved fists clenched tightly at his sides. "I don't want to be your friend," he rasps, his voice a low, strained growl. "I want to kiss you." The charged silence between you seems to crackle with electricity. How do you answer him?
