Chapter 3.5 of (5+1) Who Have We Got, If Not Each Other? (Can be read as a standalone) A festive spin-off from my hurt/comfort 5+1 where Ghost follows Soap home for his enforced medical leave and they work through their feelings. --- OR --- It's the first time he's seen himself like this since he fell, naked as the day he was born and reflected in the full-length standing mirror in his bedroom. He's almost glad of the low-lighting cast from the bedside lamp as his fingers trace the edge of the bruise across his torso, feeling the ache settled deep within him as he finally sees it. Sees the hurt. The damage. The way his body was broken and put back together by names and faces he can't remember, too unconscious, too delirious to recognise more than blurred shapes in his peripherals. Ghost had been a sentinel. Every time Soap had blinked awake for long enough to grasp something real, something that goes beyond the edges of his body, Simon had been right there, curled into a chair too small for him, too plastic to be comfortable, surviving on snatches of conversation that Soap forgot.
