Retired!Ghost would rather die than ever admit to his mates how obsessed he is with this little part of your routine.
He scoffed at it the first time. Ghost is a former SAS soldier, who's had dealings in multiple assassinations, slept in anything but a bed for nearly two years. He could settle down for a nap still wearing clothes caked in dirt and blood, has done so plenty of times.
By all means, he shouldn't be kept awake over a simple kiss from you.
Yet, he seems to yearn for it. Ghosts mind won't shut up until you come to him all soft and warm from your shower to plant a sweet kiss over his scarred lips. You cradle his face, permanently marred from all he's done, and whisper "i love you, si. Goodnight, baby."
Only after the brush of your moisturized lips over his that ghost can settle down. A clear, clean end to his day, tucked close to you in bed.
Even when you two are fighting, without fail ghost will be found lingering outside your door. He hates asking for it, feels weird and pushy when you obviously are upset with him, but he just...can't settle properly without it.
You must love him more than anything, because without fail you pull the door open just enough to tug him in by the collar and press a kiss to him as sweet as ever and promise "I'm not happy right now, but I love you, si."
Maybe that's why he can't sleep now, refuses to sleep.
The bullet was meant for him, the soldiers broke in to kill him. You were just there first.
Now you're dead, and ghost has no one to love him, no one to hold at night, no one to cherish. He tries to hold his own jaw with his hands, but they're too rough, too battle-worn to be yours.
Ghost can't sleep without your goodnight kiss. He's nothing more than a sleep-deprived body nowadays. The military won't take him, people are scared of him.
He just wants to hear your voice again.
