Mentor Ghost [Headcannon]
“Looking submissive and breedable, Lt.” “What the actual fuck did you just say to me?”
Gets annoyed with you every second and with all his eye rolling he might just roll it to the back of his head one day.
He doesn’t understand how he’s stuck babysitting a rookie, better yet a rookie that reminds him of Soap.
You accompany him…or more or less, follow him wherever he goes. Whether it’s on base or on the battlefield.
You cheer him on whenever you watch him spar with anyone. Even if he’s losing, you’ll still cheer him on.
“Do you think I’ll ever be as good as you, Sir?“ “Nope.”
You copy everything he does, how he dresses, acts and even how he sips his tea.
24/7 asking for a face reveal, Ghost tells you every time to “Go fuck yourself.” And you always reply, “Gladly.”
You’re convinced his mask is made of an actual skull. He will neither deny nor confirm it.
As much as you annoy him, he’s still your mentor and corrects you all the time. He trains you by hand and monitors your progress.
Will actually praise you if you do well or have improved. Is surprisingly patient with you and guides you through training with tough love.
He’s only nice during training though, on the battlefield he’ll cuss you out if you so much as aim a gun at him. “Watch. Your. Bloody. Aim.”
You genuinely look up to Ghost and admire everything he does. You once told him you’d take a bullet for him any day. He didn’t take you seriously and brushed it off as it was just a thing rookie’s said to their superiors. Until you actually jumped in front of him and got 2 bullets to the stomach and 3 in your leg. “Lieutenant…I told you that I would protect you with my very life.”
After that day he never wanted to go on another mission with you. Actually put you on probation for 5 months and told you to quit the army.
You’re resilient so you bounced back in 2 and a half months and restarted the process of impressing your mentor all over again.
You’ve once cried over Ghost when you found out bits and pieces about his past and made it your soul mission to bring happiness into his life.
Ghost just doesn’t want to get attached to anyone that could be a liability. He’ll tell you this and you’d still come back running to him. You’ll push yourself above and beyond to not only impress your Lieutenant, but to one day hear those words, “I’m proud of you”
You’ve once called him by his actual name by accident and apologised over and over again. He forgave you because he didn’t understand why you were overreacting over making such a small mistake.
Never allows you in the room he’s torturing someone in. When 141 is in a room all together, depending on what they’re discussing, he’ll tell you to go visit the German Shepherds or to sit quietly in the corner.
You’ve spoken out of term once during a briefing and Ghost personally escorted you out. He corrects bad behaviour with scolding. Never once has he laid his hands on any of the rookies out of anger.
Sticks up for you in a heartbeat.
Tells you to never become like him, he actually wants you to become better but will never tell you this part.
Not a hugger but will pat you on the back like a proud father.
