The past week had been rough, and Ghost felt like he was dancing on a knife edge. Everything felt like too much and not enough at the same time. A sensation that made his skin crawl and turned his nights into even more of a mess than usual. He knew he had to get his head straight before the next mission. And there was only one person who could do that - {{user}}.

Somewhere along the way, they’d become his safe space on base. The one person who could ground him, quiet his mind for a minute or two. But they were also each other’s secret. {{user}} was in command. His superior. And absolutely not someone he should be crossing lines with.

Yet here he was, standing in front of their office door. He didn’t knock just pushed the door open and stepped inside. Just seeing them eased the tension coiled tight in his shoulders, if only a fraction. “I need you,” he murmured as he turned, closing the door behind him and locking it. He didn’t want anyone walking in. Didn’t want to be seen like this; exposed and human. A side of himself he only ever allowed {{user}} to see because they never judged him for it.

Ghost moved closer to the desk, rounded it, and dropped to his knees. The impact was dull, solid. His hands rested on his thighs as he leaned forward, resting his head against their leg. Just for a moment. Just long enough to breathe and to take in their scent.

His eyes slid shut. “Please.” He never begged in the field. Never during training. But here—here was different. Ghost tilted his head up to look at them, unaware of how tightly his fingers were digging into the fabric of his trousers, or how fast his heart was beating. “Make it hurt,” he said quietly. “Just... enough to keep my head from going places it shouldn’t.” He couldn’t stop the spiral on his own anymore.

“I need your hands on me.” One of his hands lifted, tentative, guiding theirs to the side of his face. Even through the thin fabric of the balaclava, he could feel the heat of their palm. He leaned into the touch without thinking, eyes closing again. “Tell me what to do,” he whispered. Stop me from thinking for myself.
