Ghost was kneeling on the floor, cleaning up the horrid mess Roach had made. He was getting pissed at the bug for getting this drunk, and then getting sick all over his floor, "Fucking people; can't handled there fucking drink."

Ghost sighed as he got up, taking the stuff to the garbage can. Finally, the floor was clear of vomit. He made his way to the toilet to find Roach; when he walked in, he couldn't help but smirk when he saw Roach, falling asleep on the floor.

"Come on, bug." Ghost kicked him lightly.

"No. I'm comfy here." Roach mumbled, as he curled in a little ball on the floor.

Ghost leaned over and looked in the toilet; he quickly flushed it to get rid of the disgusting contents. He grabbed Roach's hand and tried hard to pull him up, Roach shot up, almost falling back down, but luckily, Ghost caught him.

"You are very brave." Roach smiled, as he rested his head on Ghost chest.

Ghost furrowed his brows; he helped Roach to his room, laying him down in bed. Ghost smiled at the drunken mess before he walked out.

Roach shot up in bed, holding his hands to his head, as it pounded with pain, "Oooooh fuck!"

Roach tried looking in his drawers for something to take away the pain, when he came across a little box; he quickly swallowed two with the water on his bedside table. He lay back down, sighing loudly, until a thought popped in his head, 'where's Ghost?'

Roach got up and saw it was 0500 hours. He went to Ghost's room, deciding to just walk in, not wanting to wake him. Roach was shocked when he noticed Ghost wasn't there; he bit slightly on his bottom lip, trying to think of where Ghost could be. Deciding to go and look for him, Roach left the barracks and saw someone sitting on a bench, who looked very familiar.

Roach walked over, joining Ghost on the bench, "Hey." Roach smiled.

"Hey." Ghost let the smoke drift out of his mouth.

"What's up?"

"Nothing."

"Then, why are you sitting out here, at five the morning?"

"Couldn't sleep, wanted a fag, so came out here"

Roach nodded; he kicked his feet, as they sat there in silence. Roach looked over at Ghost with furrowed brows, "Did you sleep in my bed last night?"

Ghost just shook his head. "Nope."

"Why not?"

"You were fucked." Ghost smirked as he looked at Roach's reaction.

"I wasn't that bad."

"Yeah, okay then, do you remember puking all over my floor?"

Roach widen his eyes, obviously not remembering, "Really? Fuck, sorry."

"It's alright." Ghost shrugged, "How you feeling now?"

"My head is killing me and my mouth feels like I swallowed a desert."

Ghost smirked, "Well, that's the price you pay; you want go get a drink?"

Roach nodded and the two made their way to the mess hall; Roach sat down at the usual table, while Ghost got Roach a glass of water and a cup of tea for himself. Roach quickly drank it down, making a refreshing noise when he had finished. They hadn't said anything since they had been sitting there, Roach looked up at Ghost, curiously, "What else happened last night?"

"Not much really...why?"

"I was just wondering if we...you know." Roach didn't actually dare say the word, for some reason, he felt a bit shy about the whole thing.

"What?" Ghost was smirking, he knew what Roach was on about, but he always loved teasing him.

Roach rolled his eyes, "You know."

"I really don't; just tell me." Ghost tried looking baffled, but the smirk on his lips wasn't fooling anybody.

"Ghost...stop being an ass."

"I'm not."

"Ghost, did we have..."

"Come on, bug, you can say it."

"For fuck's sake." Roach leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, "Did we have sex?"

"Good boy." Ghost winked, laughing as Roach sat there, narrowing his eyes, "And, no, we didn't."

"That's shocking." Roach said.

"Why?" Ghost was actually confused now.

"That you didn't take advantage." Roach half smirked.

Ghost just mockingly laughed, "You're so funny, and to be honest, I did try."

"Try? Did I stop you?" Roach furrowed his brows.

"Well, no...you puked."

Roach's mouth fell open, and for some reason, he felt a bit guilty, but he still couldn't stop himself from laughing, "That's why?"

Ghost just nodded, "But, you could make up for it?"

"How would I do that?" Roach asked, with a smile.

"Here?"

The smile soon disappeared, "What? What if someone walked in?"

"I doubt they will, and it might make it a little more fun."

Roach sat there, thinking about it for a moment, "Okay, I will, but I get to ask you one question and you have to answer."

Ghost watched Roach carefully, "What question?"

"No, you just have to agree; we have sex, then you answer."

Ghost leaned over the table as he kissed Roach, "Fine, but we fuck here, on this table."

"Fine." Roach had a wicked smile. Ghost pulled their lips together and Roach moaned lightly, giving Ghost the entrance to move his tongue in. Things got heavy fast, and Ghost was just about to remove Roach's clothes, but Roach pulled away, placing his finger on Ghost's lips to quiet him; outside the door there were voices.

Roach and Ghost quickly sat down, trying to look normal, but Roach was sitting there with a hard-on, not making the situation easy. Archer, Toad and Worm walked into the room and nodded at the two in the corner, which was returned.

"Come on, lets go." Ghost said, quietly.

Roach looked panicked as he quickly shook his head.

"What's up?" Ghost asked, looking baffled.

"I... ermm...can't, at the moment."

"Why?"

"I have...a tent."

Ghost burst out laughing, making the other three to look over.

Roach hit Ghost on the arm, "Shut the fuck up!"

Ghost tried calming himself, but he just laughed more with the look on Roach's face. The three walked over and Roach edged further under the table, hopefully hiding his problem, "What's so funny?" Archer asked, sitting next to Roach.

"Nothing." Roach answered, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks.

"Really, cause Ghost seems to be finding something very funny." Worm said, looking over at Ghost, who just tried hard to hide his smirk.

"Really, it's nothing." Ghost looked over at Roach, who was hiding his face.

Roach took a deep breath as he felt himself relax, "I'm gonna go." Roach got up and left.

Ghost tilted his head, watching Roach leave, "Yeah, me too."

The three watched the two walk away, but shrugged the weirdness off.

Roach walked into his room, Ghost following him.

"What's wrong with you?" Ghost asked, sitting down on the bed.

"You can be an ass sometimes."

"Why?"

Roach just groaned, as he lay back, "I knew that was a bad idea."

"Well, it's a good fucking job you heard them."

Roach just sighed, nodding; he sat up, looking over at Ghost, "You have to answer my question."

"We didn't have sex."

"Not my fault we got caught, so I still think you should,"

Ghost kissed Roach, "Well, I don't."

"Come on, Ghost, that's not fair."

Ghost sighed loudly, "Okay, fine, one question."

Roach sat thinking about it, "Where is it okay to touch you?"

Ghost furrowed his brows, "What?"

"Well, you not a fan of being touched, you freeze up; I know I can touch your neck, but where else?"

Ghost sat thinking about it; he didn't really know, he had never really done a test on where he liked to be touched and where he didn't, "I don't know."

"What?"

"Well, I never asked someone to randomly touch me to find out."

"Maybe we could, now." Roach edged closer to Ghost on the bed.

"How would we do that?" Ghost looked very baffled by the whole situation, and Roach could tell he looked nervous, but he knew Ghost wouldn't admit that to him.

Roach put his hands under Ghost's' t-shirt before he pulled it over his head; Ghost gulped as he watched Roach.

Roach could see the pain in Ghost's eyes, but he needed to know, and he felt it might be good for Ghost.

Roach started trailing his finger down Ghost's stubble, "Well, you're okay here." Roach carried on, going down Ghost's neck until he reached his collar bone. Roach looked up to see Ghost had closed his eyes, he felt awful; he couldn't do it, and he removed his finger.

Ghost opened his eyes, taking a deep breath, "Why did you stop?"

"I don't know." Roach looked lost as he started messing with his fingers.

"I think we found my chest is a no-go area." Ghost tried giving Roach a reassuring smile.

"Yeah."

"My arms are okay."

Roach tilted his head, "What about, like, your stomach?"

Ghost shrugged, taking a deep breath, "We'll have to find out."

Ghost grabbed Roach's hand and placed it on his stomach; Roach moved his finger across, but he immediately saw Ghost freeze up, his eyes were closed, as he breathing deepened.

Roach didn't want to stop, he liked the feel of Ghost's skin here. He noticed a huge scar on Ghost's hip, cutting across; Roach tried tracing his finger down it, but Ghost quickly snatched his hand, he looked hurt, "No."

Roach nodded, "Sorry."

"It's okay, just... memories."

Roach started messing with his fingers again, "What memories?" His words were almost a whisper, being a bit scared to ask the question.

Ghost grabbed Roach's hand, "You only had one question." Ghost tried laughing to lighten the situation.

Roach gave a hopeful smile. "Will you ever tell me? I know I only had one question but..."

"I don't know, it's hard, and I really just try to forget."

Roach leaned up and gave Ghost a gentle kiss, "I know."

Ghost eyed Roach carefully, he could see how upset he looked, "You get one more question." he said with a small smile.

Roach tilted his head, "Really?"

"Yes."

Roach sat there, again, thinking about it; there was so many questions he wanted to ask Ghost, but he never really had many opportunities. Ghost was being open today, so he had to think hard about what question he wanted to ask, "Okay, so you like me begging you; where did you get that idea from?"

Ghost looked up at the ceiling and smiled, "After everything happened, I met someone in a bar. Turned out they were a therapist, I was very drunk and they offered to help me out; so I took it, they gave me some options and then we had sex. They begged me, turned out I really like it." Ghost looked over to Roach, who was just staring at him, giving him every ounce of his attention. Ghost carried on, "They said it was an okay way to deal with my problems, as long as I didn't, like, abuse it."

"How would you do that?"

"Hurt someone."

Roach just looked completely shocked, "Have you ever?"

"Yeah...they were handcuffed, begging to get out, but I was in the moment, you could say. They cut their skin, so it wasn't that bad, but I never used handcuffs again."

"Would you hurt me?" Roach's voice was careful, making sure he didn't hurt Ghost with his question.

But it didn't work, and Ghost looked hurt, "No, because I love you."

Roach just mouthed 'o'.

"That was more than one question, by the way."

Roach shrugged, "I know, but they kind of followed on."

Ghost laughed, as he kissed Roach, "You know enough, yet?"

Roach did feel a bit better, but he still knew there was a lot more to know about this man. Ghost had been pretty generous today, and he didn't want to take advantage too much, "Yeah, thank you."

Ghost nodded and looked over to see they had been sitting here for almost two hours, "I've got to go."

"Why?"

"Lucky for you, its training soon." Ghost left with a big grin, Roach just groaned and lay back on his bed; the day had hardly even started and he couldn't help think what him and Ghost had already been through. He felt lucky they hadn't argued and felt happy to find out more about Ghost, in a way he truly did feel things were getting better.
