Ghost wasn't the type of person to hurt the ones he loved, even if it killed him. If he'd ever have to regret anything he ever did to someone...this would be one of many.

Soap & Ghost had a funny kind of relationship, they'd never admit it was fucked up though even if they knew it. Nevertheless, they were always there for each other, even if it was to chat, for comfort or even to whine about some fucked up thing they'd done for fun (most likely teasing the FNG on in some strange way). One thing Soap couldn't help his lover with, was Roba. He'd never been through what he had, so how was he supposed to react? How could he look at the one person who made sense in his life, that he couldn't help him? The thoughts had ran & ran through the Captain's head for quite some years now, he loved him & that made it even worse to think about his torture. Just the thought of Riley being so helpless & defenceless made MacTavish's blood boil, he wanted to help, its just a matter of how?

After several pints, shots & god knows what else rammed into their system, Soap decided to call it a night for him & Ghost, knowing full well that Ghost would happily stay in the pub all night long singing Bobby Mcferrin's "Dont worry, be happy", which Ghost knew drove his CO insane. Although that wasn't about to stop him singing it on the way home, whilst occasionally doing some drunken move which Soap swore he was giving an attempt to dance or something along the lines. Kicking at the door was one of the Lieutenant's famous thngs bascically his was of saying "Get the fucking door open now", of course Ghost asking for something nicely was extremly rare,
usually it was a threat contiued by a smart ass remark then a blow to the jaw. Slumping on the bed ignoring the fact he was still dressed, Riley fell into a deep sleep.

A familiar voice ran through Simon's head, "English, wake up"...
Simon's half lidded eyes shot open waking to see the demon he'd feared for years on end. Roba. There was a mix of fear & anger inside of him, so much he could probably drown in it. The fear told him to run, but the anger told him to stay & beat the shit outta this piece of crap!
"Wha...what'd you want? I swear if you dont leave i'll rip your fucking inside's out", "Careful english, remember...you were told what would happen" Grinning as he watched Riley's face freeze with terror, Roba began receiting lines Ghost had heard before, those lines that terrified him into this nightmare. "This is your mother's skull" he smiled "No...dont" Simon pleaded, begging him not to carry on, "This is your father's skull" "No..please...no" tears streaming down is face, not bothering to wipe them, only hoping the memories would leave his mind, "This is your brother's skull" laughing intensly at Riley's horror.
Ghost's fist swung at Roba's face, he was scared and fear didnt take too well to him at this paticular moment in time. Laughing as Ghost's fists constantly connected with his face, Roba could feel the Riley he witnessed, the dangerous one, the one willing to do anything & everything to stay alive, but still it wasn't enough for either of them. Ghost felt his hands wrap around Roba's neck, tighter & tighter, choking the hell out of the demon that tortured him for so long.

"Si..." a response from Riley's choking victim, well soon to be victim if he carried on.
"Si..Simon..." Riley felt fingertips digging into his wrists, his eyes snapped open to find the one he was choking, wasn't Roba...but John. His hand's immediatly released the Captain's neck ,falling into a fit of laughter, then tears. Simon couldn't believe what he'd just done, guilt ran through his head, tear's running down his face, he'd finally broken down.

"Im so sorry, i swear i didn't...John you know i'd never hurt you, please dont..." the words couldnt even escape his mouth, he knew he'd done wrong, but he knew he didnt do it on purpose, he loved John too much to hurt him like that.

Catching his breath, John was shocked at the fact his lover had just tried to strangle him to death, so many thoughts rushed through his head, feelings mostly, he was scared outta his wits, what next? Would he shoot him? Stab him? Choke him again?
He knew they had a FUBAR relationship ,but was it worth being strangled? He knew Riley had problems, but being choked wasn't in his description of being with him, he was seriously considering leaving and changing his name, finding a new job and starting a new life. But something called to him, told him Riley was now a part of him & that couldnt & wasn't about to be changed. Staring at his broken love & mentally broken lover, John made a decision which he never knew whether it'd be for the best or not. Carefully moving next to Riley, kneeling, he threw his arms around his partner, who's words were lost in tear's, the way Simon was, made John come close to sharing his tear's. Escaping his mouth were words which Soap stills curses to hear to this very day.

"Why am i still here John?" his voice so quietly, Soap could only just make out what he said.

"Your'e here because i need you" rocking back & forth with Simon couped in his arms,

"No you dont, hell, i dont need me, i have nothing John"

"I swear if you say that ever again i'll kill you myself" a small smirk developed across MacTavish's face, whilst caressing Riley's face,

"It'd be a relief". All John could do was think of how he was going to murder Roba for making the love of his life this way. Simon had changed. He wasn't the person John knew anymore.

"Im sorry. John, please dont leave me, i need you" his eyes just screaming for love & affection, maybe that's all he needed, help & John's love, Simon was the only one he'd do this for, he kept him sane & vice versa.

"I'll never leave you. I love you" "I love you too". "God, John what's happening to me?" Still clinging to Simon, tear's rolled down John's face, he couldn't answer.
