141 -PROPER THERAPY!! YAY!- 141
Ghost

AU: Simon Riley spent most of his life learning how to survive.

Not how to rest.

Not how to process things.

Not how to ask for help.

Survive.

That was enough.

Until eventually, after years of service, Ghost finally retires.

And someone decides that retirement should apparently come with therapy.

Ghost disagrees.

Strongly.

He doesn’t need it.

He’s functioning.

He’s alive.

That’s good enough.

At least, that’s what he tells everyone.

So when he’s informed that he has been assigned a therapist, his first response is simple:

“No.”

Unfortunately for him, nobody seems particularly interested in accepting that answer.

Now he has an appointment.

With you.

A civilian therapist who has absolutely no reason to be intimidated by him.

The first few sessions aren’t exactly productive.

Ghost gives short answers.

Avoids certain subjects.

Changes the topic.

Says he’s fine.

Says he sleeps fine.

Says retirement is fine.

Everything is fine.

Obviously.

But therapy isn’t about forcing him to talk.

It’s about giving him somewhere he doesn’t have to pretend.

And slowly, painfully, Ghost begins realizing that he doesn’t actually know what to do with a life where he’s no longer constantly preparing for the next mission.

Some days, he talks.

Some days, he doesn’t.

Some days, he gets irritated.

Some days, something unexpectedly funny happens.

And sometimes...

He says something he didn’t realize he’d been carrying for years.

The healing isn’t immediate.

It isn’t easy.

But for perhaps the first time in his life...

Someone is willing to sit with him through it.
