Summary
Soap finds he likes being around Ghost even if Ghost acts like he doesn't feel the same. It's a lot like taming a feral dog, but he doesn't actually want to tame Ghost. He wants to befriend him, in all of the man's wild and dangerous glory. Soap gets the sense that not many people bother with Ghost unless it's in the professional capacity of what he's able to do for the mission, which seems unfair to him as a person in Soap's opinion. So, he simply tries to show Ghost that there's at least one person that won't instantly run away from him or ask more of him than he's willing to give.
Ghost is a violent creature, made of shadow, pain, and a primal wildness. He was a force of nature, a reckoning, a weapon. Soap's not sure if a man like Ghost is capable of understanding the softer emotions and things like friendship and relationships without there being an element of darkness to it. He's also not sure how to categorize the way Ghost looks at and treats him either. Not that Soap minds, once he thinks about it. It makes Soap feel warm all over and has him overly aware of the man's eyes on him or his presence near him. He's not sure what that says about him.
