Chapter 6: Truth

Roach sifted as Ghost watched him. He felt like a kitten trapped by a giant, evil dog. Ghost was the hunter and he was the pray, the meal. Ghost still had his mask in his hands, not even moving to put it back on. Normally Roach wouldn't complain, and really a small part of him was happy it was still off. But at this moment, it was NOT helping his situation. See Ghost for the man he was so strange, and good strange, but still. Roach opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

"Tell me…" Roach shifted.

"Tell you what?" he was trying to act stupid so he could get out of the situation. Ghost raised an eyebrow, laughing lightly, making Roach Blush softly.

"Everything…" Ghost leaned in closer, close enough that Roach had to start leaning back so he wouldn't kiss him again. Ghost leaned close to Roaches ear, whispering "There's no getting out of this, I'm not going to move until I get the answers…" He smirked when he heard the younger man curse under his breath. Roach sighed.

"Fine…. I'll tell you what you want to know…" Ghost smirked and leaned away from the other, but just a bit.

"Alright, first… why did you stay at the base and not go home?"

"Didn't wanna go home, me and my family don't get along that well." Ghost nodded

"Ok, then why do you stare at me? I see you doing on missions and everything." Roach shifted again, blushing more.

"Because…." He know Ghost would catch on if he lied. He sighed and looked down at his lap. "I think you have a hot body and your just nice to look at." He felt Ghost start to get closer again.

"Finally… why did you kiss me?" Ghost smirk was almost a grin by now. He knew the answer, he just wanted to bug to tell him, hear it in his voice.

"b-because… I love you…." He murmured, trying to hide his face. He herd Ghost chuckle to himself. The felt one of his fingers reach under his chin, making him look up. Once roach looked up, his lips met Ghosts again. He closed his eyes and pushed back against him. When they pulled apart, Roach hugged Ghost tightly, hiding his face in his neck. Ghost hugged him back lightly, running his fingers up and down Roaches spine, making Roach shiver.

"Thank you for telling me." Ghost smiled.

"What about you?" Roach asked, not looking up from Ghost neck

"Huh?"

"Do you… love me back? Or are you just messing with me?" Roach looked up this time, looking right into Ghosts eyes. He was little scared of the other mans answer. Ghost smiled at him lightly, moving his hand up to Roaches head, running his finger thought his short hair.

"I'm not messing with you, I do love you." Roaches eyes widened, leaning forward to kiss Ghost lightly. "Oh and just so you know, MacTavish told me he had a feeling you liked me. How you always are staring at me and talking about me." Roach blushes a bit, making a mental note to hurt MacTacish as soon as he walked into the base. Ghost laughed at Roach, Kissing his forehead lightly. "Don't kill him." Roach sighed leaning against Ghosts shoulder.

"So what do we do now?" Roach asked. Ghost though for a moment then smirked.

"When we have about a week left to ourselves….. So." Ghost looked down at the other, giving him a look that told Roach everything that he was thinking about. Roach blushed, but nodded. Ghost smiled, throwing his mask onto the ground and lightly pushed roach against the bed, kissing him.
