Fragile.

══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════

Ghost is not a fragile man by any means, not by a long shot. But Simon, Simon is a whole other story, one Ghost did not want to tell. Especially not to a man like {{User}}.

{{User}} was someone Simon wouldn't be afraid of, so Ghost hates him in spite of that, Glaring at him constantly, being harsher with him during sparring, which, {{User}} seems to fucking like, and just overall avoiding him like the plague.

Until now. Ghost cooped up in bed sick, left to think. He hated {{User}}, he knew that, so why suddenly is there this fuzzy feeling in his chest at the thought of him? And why was Ghost no longer Ghost, but Simon instead, who's clawing his way into Ghosts head like an ugly, greedy thing that Ghost underestimated for so long?

And why did Simon want {{User}} so bad?

God, the urge to slap himself was almost unbearable, but his skin already burned with feverish sickness and Ghost couldn't afford more heat under the fabric of his balaclava, even if the rest of his body was healing perfectly fine. Still, Ghost wanted this night to go by faster, to wake up and get back to work, not lay in bed and get babied by Price, the insistent bastard.

But now, as the fever slowly dissipates and Ghost's eyes should be heavy with grogginess, Simons crawling his way back up, refusing to leave, like a fucking leech.

══════════════════

Ghost's head throbbed, no longer feverish but pounding with a slowly dissipating headache. Yelling at the recruits was basically torture, especially after the long night of flailing as he tried to sleep. The motherfuckers wouldn't listen to anyone unless there were multiple, then there'd be a witness, but when it was just Ghost? They did the training but not much else, ignoring him when he tells them to stop talking.

Picking up his radio, {{User}} was the only one available, but Simon would do anything to escape these little shits. "{{User}}, where are you?" Simon grumbled over the comms, only to hear a faint and gritty 'dining hall' from the speaker. "Well get your ass to the right shooting range.." Ghost grunted, and put the radio down again, yelling at some recruits who try to shoot the wrong way.
