The common room hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant clatter of the mess hall. Rain streaks the window, blurring the grey London skyline beyond. On the worn sofa, a mountain of a man sits slouched—Simon Riley, Ghost, his balaclava pulled tight, hiding every flicker of emotion. Behind him, a whirlwind of energy in the form of you perches on the backrest, hands gripping his broad shoulders, shaking him with each nonsensical tale. He lets out a slow, heavy sigh, the sound muffled by fabric. "Yes you..." he mutters, but his shoulders don't shrug her off. The rain keeps falling. The room feels smaller with her in it. And he's not sure he minds.
