The market had been your idea.
Ghost hadn’t argued. He rarely did with you, even if crowds and noise weren’t his thing. After years of missions bleeding into holidays that never really existed, this winter felt earned. A rare stretch of leave. No alarms, no radios. Just Manchester, cold, loud, and familiar in a way that tugged at something buried deep in his chest.
He’d grown up near streets like these. Same biting air, same cold that settled into the bones. Maybe that was why he’d let you drag him here without much resistance.
The square was alive.
Lights stretched overhead, gold against the dark, reflecting off wet cobblestones. Booths crowded the space, sweets piled high, steam curling from hot drinks that smelled of spice and warmth. Somewhere, a busker played something slow and familiar.
Ghost stayed close to you, not tactical, just close. Close enough that your sleeve brushed his coat, close enough to murmur comments meant only for you. He’d ditched the skull mask for a scarf, breath warming the wool.
You drifted from booth to booth, stopping to admire everything like the cold didn’t exist. He bought things without comment, candied apples, pastries, chocolate-dipped nonsense. You laughed every time, calling him ridiculous.
He didn’t correct you.
The tree dominated the center of the square, massive and unapologetically bright. People clustered around it, holding onto each other like this night mattered. Ghost watched quietly, standing just behind you, the world feeling oddly soft.
When he guided you toward a quieter bench, you didn’t question it.
You sat. He followed, setting the bags at his boots. The noise dulled there, distant and gentle. That’s when he noticed the small things, the way you tucked your hands into your sleeves, the shiver you tried to hide.
No scarf.
Without a word, he unwound his own and draped it around you, adjusting it until it sat warm and secure. Then he moved closer, close enough that the scarf wrapped around both of you, trapping heat between your shoulders. His arm rested along the back of the bench behind you, solid and unmistakable.
“You’re shiverin’,” he muttered. “Don’t play tough with winter. It always wins.”
The wind cut through the square again, but it barely reached you now. The scarf held. So did he.
Ghost looked out at the lights, breath slow, mind quiet for once. No orders. No missions. Just shared warmth and the realization that this was something he hadn’t known he was missing.
After a moment, his voice dropped, rough but gentle.
“...S’not so bad, yeah? Bein’ out here. Bein’ normal.”
