A/N This is just a one-shot right now but I might make it into a full fledged story. if you guys would like let me know!

Roach was sat outside, watching the sun set. He was never the one to do this, then again he had a lot on his mind and needed a place to think. A few months after he joined the 141, he started having feeling for his superior, Ghost. Never once acting up on those feeling, deciding it would be much better to stay friends than perhaps ruin their relationship if Ghost found out the truth.

Everything was going great, he hadn't told Ghost the truth in the 4 years he's been there. The only one on base that knew of his crush was Soap. And he kept it a secret. Things were normal for Gary and Simon...that was, until last night.

They finally cracked the intel they found at one of Makarovs safehouses. It took almost 2 weeks. So Soap though it was the perfect opertunity to celebrate. With everyone in agreement, they made there way outside, while Price grabbed the beer.

The 'party' was going well, everyone was laughing and talking amongst each other. It was a good thing the op wasn't for another few days since Roach was the only one that decided to get shitfaced and not drink in moderation, like his friends were doing. It was getting dark and Gary noticed Ghost was missing, so he in his drunken state decided to go look for him. That was the last thing he remembered until he woke up next to him...naked.

A very confused and shocked Gary didn't know what to do. Should he stay in bed with the man he so clearly loves? Or should he sneak out now and go back to his room? He decided it was best to go back to his room and not deal with any questions he might have to endure in the morning. Sleep did not coma for Gary after that, he stayed awake lying in his bed trying to fugure out what happened. All he could remember is going to find Ghost saying he's missing the party..."I'll just avoid him tomorrow, that's what I'll do." and he did just that...until night decided to come. He knew Ghost would no doubt be looking for him. Sitting in silence thinking of what he should say, Ghost obviously knew now. Should he just tell him the truth? Or blame it on his drunken state?, either way it's not gonna be easy. Roaches peacful brainstorming came to a halt when he heared the door open. Glancing over to see who was disturbing him, he saw the man he was trying to avoid...Ghost.

"Here you are, I've been trying to find you all bloody day" Ghost was mad, very mad...Great.

"Sorry" was the only thing Gary could muster up. Ghost walked over and sat down right next to him, which didn't help Gary's nerves.

"Sorry? Wait, this is about last night isn't it?" He asked

"Yeah" Gary said.

"So you've been avoiding me because we had sex?" Ghost gave a small laugh. "If it would make you feel better, I've known about your little crush for a while now."

"WHAT, and you didn't say anything?" Gary was now feeling even more vulnerable than when Ghost first came out here. He knew, he knew about gary's crush all this time...

"I was waiting to see if you would make the first move, and last night was it." Ghost seemed please by this.

"First move? Are you insinuating that this is a mutual thing? Or?" Gary asked, hopeing he was. Ghost looked away from Gary, searching for the right words to say. He sighed and turned back to look Gary in the eyes.

"Yes. I am."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Gary asked.

"We've known each other for a while now right?"

"4 years, so yes we have."

"And you know I'm not much of a people person?"

"Yeah, you do seem to avoid some people." Gary said.

"Yeah" he gave a small chuckle almost inaudiable behind his balaclava "It easier not to get attached to people, especially in this line of work. Then you joined and ruined everything." It was Gary's turn to laugh, he ruined Ghost reason for avoiding people? With Ghost mentioning that he did notice Ghost seemed to only really talk to a few people, Soap and Gary for the most part and Price when he has too.

"I'm terribly sorry" Gary gave a mockapology.

"You should be." They stayed in silent for a while, a re-cap of last night going through Ghost's head, while Gary was thinking of all the unsaid things he's wanted to tell the man sitting next to him.

"So where does this lead us?" Gary asked, curious more than anything. Ghost turned to look at Gary before saying the words Gary only dreamed of.

"I'm game, if you are?" Gary nearly choked on air.

"Really? You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Let's just keep this between us for now. Don't need Soap giving us the...mission first, emotions second shite."

"Agreed." After almost 4 years of having feeling for Ghost, it turns out Ghost feels the same. Gary couldn't help the smile grace his face.

"You want to head inside, it's getting bloody cold out?" Ghost asked.

"Definitely." They made there way to the door. Ghost stopping before turning the knob.

"What's wrong?" Gary asked.

"Nothing, it's just..." Next thing, Ghost pulled up his balaclava to reveal his mouth and part of his nose. Leaning down to make his and Gary's lips meet.

"Okay, let's head in" Ghost said but Gary was to infatuated with what just happened that he didn't hear what Ghost has said. Snapping out of it he turned to Ghost who was waiting by the door..

"Uh, what?"

"You ready to go inside or are you gonna stand there like a lovesick puppy?" Ghost asked

"Coming" Gary jogged over to Ghost who was slightly laughing at his flustered state. Ghost opened the door and the both walked in. A lot has happened in the past 24 hours but Gary couldn't be happier. They decided to go get a coffee in the rec-room, sitting down in blissful silence since no one was in there...until Gary decided to break the silence when he looked at Ghost and asked...

"What exactly happened last night? Cause I don't remember anything."
