Summary
Simon Ghost Riley can’t be touched. He thinks, sometimes, that if someone ever touches his bare skin, he might shatter into a thousand shards of glass, the same way that if someone ever says a kind word to him beyond "job well done, Ghost", he might break in such a way that he’ll never, ever be able to put himself back together again. He thinks, regularly, that he might be very, very fucked up.
Until Soap comes along. Soap, who has never been scared of him. Soap, who took one look at Ghost and his bulk and his defences and decided not to take them as the warning they are. Soap, who treats him like he’s normal. Soap, who came out of that fucking tunnel with a new scar on his temple and some chest candy to go with it, cocksure and confident, sharper and snarkier than ever.
Can Ghost find the intimacy he so desperately craves and learn to love again? Will Soap help him unlock a part of himself he thought was dead forever?
Spoiler alert: the answer is "yes".

Summary
Johnny shifts, making himself comfortable, or trying to, and something foul clenches in his heart. He watches him draw his uninjured leg up, flatten it down again, bend his knee to splay it, straighten it again, watches him tuck his arm under the pillow, put both on his chest, and sigh before star fishing out.
It's not for Ghost to watch, but he does. It's not for Ghost to note the bulge in his shorts that are shifting higher on his thick, hairy thighs from all the moving around, but he does.
And he should look away when Johnny huffs out a breath he can almost hear and cups himself, but he doesn't. It'll help settle him down.
It's private.
Soap breaks his foot and is sent away to heal. In repayment for the injury, Ghost offers him his nearby flat. It provides fast access to the base and task force, staying conveniently close. It just so happens to provide Ghost some different access, too.
In which good intentions aren't all that good, bad ones are just what the doctor ordered, and games lay bare what's been carefully hid. In a spiral of obsession and guilt, desire and fear, some guidance isn't amiss. But will it be enough?
