Summary
It can only be this. Just this.
Except it never was.
How could it ever be- with how Ghost watched you ascend the mountain of unattainable expectations you’d placed on yourself? He’d watched the form of you through the veil of snow as you’d climbed higher than you ever thought you could, and even then had refused to let that be the zenith you strived for. How could he ever think it was ‘just this’ when he watched the same hurt that dwelled within you both not kill you slowly, but drive you to higher and higher peaks as a proof of life?
Two halves of the same coin, two faces of the same moon where Ghost could never see the sun except through you.
It’s fine. Tomorrow you’ll both go back to pretending like that time in the cottage never happened, that you’re both nothing more than what you were meant to be- weapons in a never ending war, held by each others’ hands. Tomorrow Ghost will pass you in the hallway and ignore the feeling of you staring after him. Tomorrow Ghost will try to stop himself from looking at you when he thinks you don’t know. Tomorrow you’ll both pretend that whatever exists between you doesn’t exist at all.
And tomorrow, Ghost will continue to hate himself.
