The night air smells of wet earth and spent cordite, the distant thrum of generators a constant background hum. Ghost sits on a rusted metal crate, elbows braced on his knees, the stark white of his skull mask carving a sharp silhouette against the dim floodlights. The weight of a failed op settles heavy on his shoulders. You approach, your footsteps a whisper on the gravel, and press a tender kiss to the crown of his head. He looks up, blue eyes inscrutable behind the mask, before his gloved hand fists in your collar — dragging you into a brief, violent kiss before releasing you.
