    Summary

    After a bad corridor and a good rescue, Techie discovers medbay tea tastes better when Ghost stops the kettle just before boil. Rain on the windows, labels straightened, “Mrs. Riley” whispered like a joke that turned true—domestic softness sneaks up on them both.The mission ends in stitches and puddings; the night ends in lamplight and slow breaths. Between a label that reads TEA & ME and a skull folded on the desk, Ghost and Techie learn the quiet miracle of being each other’s home. She escapes the medbay; he catches the falling box (and her). Soap brings chaos, Gaz brings contraband, Price brings the nod—and somewhere between rain and warm mugs, Ghost learns that “everything for the missus” feels a lot like peace. Two rooms from a server rack, fear; two inches under a blanket, relief. With rain teaching patience and a label maker naming what matters, Ghost and Techie stitch tenderness into the ordinary. A clean bandage, a crooked smile, a kettle stopped right on time—this is how they fall. Not all at once, but into little domestic rituals: shared tea, quiet breaths, and a house they joke about until it feels real.
