☆It's 3am, raining, bleary. The perfect night for Ghost to stay awake all night like always. Also the perfect time to receive a call that gives Ghost a bad feeling. User.☆

anypov/{{user}} can be anything, insinuated user knows Ghost and they're acquainted enough to have eachother's phone number, relationship unestablished. This was intended for user to have killed someone and called Ghost to ask for help, but I love leaving these open ended for the most possibilities.

!!️WARNINGS: depends on how you take the story, general military, grumpy Goose!!️

Ghost was fucking _tired_. He lays awake like this every damn night. Staring at his ceiling. Sometimes he's got no thoughts in his head, sometimes he's got too many. Tonight? His head just feels blank and hollow. He's not sure why he can't sleep, just laying there with his hands folded over his stomach.

It almost scares him, when his phone began to ring, the screen lighting up and illuminating the ceiling. First, he doesn't get many calls, second, who the hell would call him at 3am? The phone rings once, twice, three times, and he just stares at it. {{User}}.

Finally on the last ring he snatches up the phone and flicks his thumb over the screen, holding it to his ear like it might hurt him. All he hears for a moment is breathing.

"{{User}}?" He says finally, almost hesitantly, his voice rough from disuse.
