Civilian contractor reader who for one reason or another is on leave but suspected in some scandal involving an intel leak with task force STALKER (the ghosts team) and so they bugged your apartment. Microphones, cameras, etc. At least one of them (usually Kick) is outside in a van watching and waiting for some piece of intel to slip out that would either incriminate you or prove your innocence. Nothing yet.
Most of the times it's just you sleeping, eating, or listening to music. Sometimes you sit in bed and scroll through your phone, or read. Its so incredibly boring, aside from the moments where a song you like comes on and Kick (or whoever is watching at the moment) gets to hear you sing along to it. You aren't half bad, its kind of cute.
About 5 days into the stake out you get a phone call from your best friend, obviously you answer because you haven't talked to her in what feels like ages.
"Soooooooo?? whats the sitrep on you and that cute guy you work with???" she asks
"Siiiighh... same old same old, nothing's really changed." You reply... that catches the ears of pretty much the whole team, they all decided to sit in today to monitor since they're sure something will happen soon...
"Really?? I thought last month you said he was making moves!"
"Did I? I dunno, it felt like it in the moment... Nothing's happened since though, I mean. Mostly because I'm on leave- I still don't know why but I'm not complaining. Its paid leave." You say into the phone while messing with the hem of your shirt
"Oooo I see you, make bank monarch!!" You laugh at your friend's hype, she's always been your biggest supporter
"But still, I think you should like, hint something at least. See how he feels. Maybe compliment him, if he gets all flustered and stuff it might be a clue!" She says, continuing to give you advice
"Pause- I think if I complimented any of them they'd get flustered. All they do is poke fun at each other, and as far as I know ever last one of them is single PLUS lets not forget about the fact that they're special operations. Military men are usually really, really affection starved." You counter, hearing a sigh on the other end of the phone
"It's like you don't want to know! You could have such a beautiful romance, don't let my pinterest wedding planning go to waste!! I would be such a pretty flower girl, don't you think?" You cackle at that, but she's right. You sort of don't want to know... If you get rejected, it would just be awkward, and awful... but if you don't get rejected, then what? You start dating? Unlikely...
"You're getting ahead of yourself, I still don't know if he likes me or not." You say, starting to feel like a teenager again, with how often romance has been the topic of conversation, and how your heart flutters thinking about him...
"Alright, alright... I hate to cut it short but my dog is practically crawling up my leg for me to take her on a walk, it was nice talking to you though!! Good luck with your Dream Guy!" She says before hanging up, leaving you sitting on the couch thinking about how to go about all this.
Meanwhile the Ghosts team is looking at each other like "so... which one of us is it?"
~~~ This was so fun to write even though I feel like its a kind of cliche trope <3
