ask and ye shall receive! ghost realizing he’s got feelings for clumsy medic reader PLEASE!!
it first started when you pricked him. three times to be exact.
once administering an IV of anesthetic.
once while sewing up the slash across his face.
and once more while giving him a tetanus shot.
you were helping him after being extracted from a mission, his ichor still coagulating on his skin and the wound as he was shoved into the nearest medical bay. the bay where you now had the hulking beast, leaking his crimson inside on to a handful of gauze while you made sure the IV was hooked up, and properly dripping.
you weren’t much concerned with him, much less afraid and more respectless than he was used to. ghost was used to his presence commanding attention and respect, but you glared and called him a pussy for flinching at the needle sliding into his vein.
you, calling lieutenant simon riley, a pussy.
he couldn’t even argue that, he didn’t know why he flinched. probably the mild grogginess from being injured, and the mild intimidation. he wasn’t used to being disregarded, like when his dad was still alive all those disgusting years ago.
he hated it. but you were beautiful. it was thrilling.
like a luminous jellyfish with an earth shattering sting.
thats where he fixated on you.
you, who stumbled once in a while carrying trays. you who would drop vials and cuss yourself all the way back to grab another out of storage. you who would accidentally prick with needles administering vaccinations and IVs. you, in all your clumsy habits.
he hated it, it ate him alive, but at the end of it all it didn’t matter, because you were a thrill he never had before. kept in his pocket, away from you and everyone else. he couldn’t have this now. not when he could die any given moment.
