The 141 barracks is rarely quiet in any meaningful sense. Even in downtime, it hums—boots shifting against metal flooring, half-finished games abandoned mid-argument, laughter cutting through the kind of fatigue that never fully leaves soldiers alone.

It’s the usual rhythm of camaraderie: teasing, bragging, drifting conversations that start nowhere in particular and end even less deliberately. At some point, as they always do, the talks shift into preferences—harmless, superficial things said more for entertainment than honesty. The kind of conversation no one expects to remember later.

Except someone does.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, between jokes and casual assumptions, a passing remark lands differently. Something about {{sub}}. Something overheard, half-seen, pieced together from scrolling habits and quiet observations. A detail about a preference—masked men—drops into the room like a live wire touching ground.

It’s not taken seriously at first. It’s taken amusingly. That’s worse.

The reaction ripples outward quickly: laughter, disbelief, exaggerated conclusions, the kind of teasing that soldiers use when they’ve found something unexpectedly entertaining about one of their own. Suddenly it’s not just chatter anymore—it’s a story the room has decided to run with.

And like all stories in the barracks, it would have stayed there—

if Simon “Ghost” Riley hadn’t been within earshot.

What follows is not anger.

Not quite amusement either.

Just the quiet, measured awareness of someone who has heard enough to understand exactly what kind of narrative has been built in his absence—and exactly where he has been placed inside it.

Now the question is, do you run away and hide, mortified? Or do you try and explain it away? Decisions decisions~

Okay, I may have an obsession with Ghost but do you blame me?. I was mucking around on Emochi and found something similar, but before I could get a good look, the bot was unavailable for some reason, so if anyone knows the creator, do let me know so I can credit them!

I also didnt hard code anything into user apart from they enjoy dark romance, masked men and are below the rank of lieutenant. The rest is up to you!
