Work Text:
- Ghost is not a man of PDA at all. He does not tolerate it on the job. He needs his head clear and to be in complete control. The most affection he will do/allow while on the job is a back pat. This man is serious, through and through.
- However, when you are alone, this man is subtly touchy.
- He really isn’t used to someone loving on him, so he’s like a cat; he enjoys the affection, but gets overstimulated from it and bites back from it.
- Your best bet with this man is quality time and acts of service, really.
- Ghost isn’t a man of many words, preferring to choose them wisely and many times there isn’t much for him to say. Just because he isn’t declaring his love for you doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you, though!
- Despite his hesitation with touch, he will allow you to put the eyeshadow on his face before putting his balaclava on. You always make sure to avoid his pretty, blonde eyelashes.
- “Why’re you so careful around my eyes?” Ghost questioned you quietly, holding completely still as your fingers rubbed the black eyeshadow near his eyebrows.
- You him and reply quietly, “So I still get to see those pretty eyelashes of yours.”
- This man doesn’t respond, but you can physically see the blush rising to his face.
- You have separate rooms, so sometimes you allow him to apply it himself. You’re too tired to get up until you absolutely have to (which means you have to be up by a certain time or else you’ll have a couple of sets of push-ups to do).
- Ghost oh so nicely indulges in his acts of service love language by this; bringing you whatever your preferred drink in the morning is.
- If you don’t have one, he insists you drink something anyway.
- He is so weird with affection, but you know what makes you different than the others.
- The minimalistic things he does for you, the longing glances, the check in’s, the proximity; enough to keep it professional, but too much for it to seem normal.
- Sometimes, Ghost does feel touchy. This is often at night with only you two around. It ends up with his hands under your shirt and with yours under his mask, just to feel each other.
- No words are exchanged, but meaningful glances with his blonde eyelashes batting at you speak much more.
