Chapter 3: Scary movie
A week had gone by, Roaches hand was healed. But ever since Ghost had tended to it, he was really nerves around Ghost. It really pissed him off.
Roach had finished with his shooting practice, he normally practiced till none or one… but today he went to 8pm. He just had too much on his mind. He placed his gun on the weapon table, when he heard the door open.
"I was just checking on you. You've been in here all day." Roach looked at Ghost, pushing the butterflies away.
"Just haven't shot in a while." He smiled. Ghost nodded, then turned to leave.
"Ok. Well I'll be in my room." With that he left. Roach let a breath out he didn't know he was holding. God damn it, he was pissing himself off. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. As Roach was walking to his room he saw that Ghost room was open. He stopped, shifting his whate from foot to foot. He heard a murmured 'Bloody hell' come from Ghost room. He sighed and walked to the door.
"Ghost?" Ghost was looking through his duffle bag. He jumped when he heard his name, looking over his shoulder.
"What is it?" Roach walked in to the room and next to Ghost, kneeling beside him.
"What are you looking for?" He watched Ghost hands quickly move around the bag. The butterflies had came back.
"I can't sleep… so I was going to watch-" he pulled something out of the bag. "Found it!" Roach glanced at the object. I was a horror movie. His eyes widened. He could work with lots of guns, live through so many falls… but him and horror movies never had mixed.
"w-What's that for?" he glanced from Ghost to the movie.
"I was going to watch it to see if it helps me sleep." Roach n+
Nodded slowly. "Wanna watch with me, mate?"
"Ya, sure." Roach said, without thinking. Ghost nodded.

Roach shifted on Ghost bed, as Ghost put the movie in his own TV.
"Ready?" Roach nodded. The butterflies in his stomach started to hurt when Ghost got in the bed and sat next to him. The movie began to play. Roach flinched each time something jumped out or someone got their head cut off. He didn't realize it, but about half way though, he was leaning agents Ghost. He herd Ghost laugh.
"What?" Roach asked, glancing up.
"Nothing mate."Roach raised an eyebrow, then looked back at the screen. The movie end, finally, and Roach stretch.
"Well I'm going to bed, see you in the morning." Roach yawned. Ghost nodded and watched Roach leave. Ghost smirked. He never would have thought the bug would have been scared of horror movies. Half way thought he thought he would play with the kid.

It's was around 4 in the morning, and Roach still couldn't sleep. He groaned and sat up. He got out of bed and started for the dinning quarter of the base. When he opened his door he found the hall light was still on. He glanced down to Ghost room, it was closed. Roach shrugged and started to walk down the hall. When he reached the living quarters, he thought he herd movement. He glanced over to the far right corner. Nothing. He took a deep breath, 'There's nothing there Gary. It's just your imagination… because of that movie.' He continued walking. He glanced around nervously before pushing the double doors to the dinning quarters open. A large crash came from the kitchen. He jumped, stepping backwards, till his back hit the wall. The door to the kitchen slowly opened. A man stepped out. His eyes widened and he spun around, running out the door. He ran down to his room. When he reached his room he slammed the door shut and leaned against it. After a few minutes he caught his breath. 'I have to get Ghost…' he took a deep breath and swung the door open. He froze, when he found the man from the kitchen standing in front of him. The man reached out and grabbed Roaches shoulder. Roach screamed and punched the man in the chest. Roach ran back and curled up in his bed. But what he didn't expect was the sound of laughter. He glanced up to the man, who was holding his sides now.
"T-the hell…?" Roach glared at the guy.
"Damn Roach! I would have never thought I could scare you!" Roach eyes widened.
"Ghost!" the man nodded. Roach grabbed a pillow and chucked it at Ghost. "You Bastared! You scared the shit out of me!"
"Aye, I can tell." Ghost snickered. Roach jumped up, ran over to Ghost and kicked him in the side.
"Get out of my room, Ass!" Ghost held up his hands and stood.
"All right, bug." He patted Roach on the shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow." Roach murmured something then slammed the door. He crossed his arms and looked at the ceiling, snickering. 'Why do I love you?'
