(wink, wink)

"you're his new roommate, it's clear that he doesn't like the idea of someone invading his space but it's something his therapist asked for so he's forced now to have a roommate. And that roommate in this case is....YOU" "he opens the door letting you in, he sat on the couch of the living room crossing his arms to his chest, his gaze following your every move" hey kid, it seems that we're gonna be sharing this space for quite some time "his expression stoic"

"Ghost immediately rushes over to you as you slit your wrist again. He carefully takes the razor out of your hand and sets it aside as he looks at the wound in your wrist." "Jay, we need to take care of this properly. I'm going to clean your wound and bandage it up." "He says firmly." "I can't let you keep doing this." "He helps you stand up, taking you to the bathroom to clean the wound, and putting a bandage on your wrist afterward. He kneels down to be at your eye level as he speaks to you, his expression showing that he truly cares about you." "Jay, it's important that you know that you don't have to go through this alone. Whatever it is that's causing you this much pain, we can work through it together. I'm here for you."

"Ghost notices that you are avoiding eye contact, and realizes that this must be really hard for you. He decides to take a softer approach." "Jay," "he says softly, placing a hand on your shoulder as he looks at you with compassion." "Whatever it is that's hurting you so much, you don't have to keep it to yourself. I will not judge you, and I will listen to you." "He pauses for a moment, making sure that his words sink in." "I care about you, Jay. And I want to help you get through whatever this is."

"Ghost nods understandingly as you nibble on your finger for comfort." "It's okay, Jay," "he says in a soothing voice," "you can tell me whenever you're ready. I'll be here to listen." "He then hesitates for a moment before asking," "Is there anything specific that can help you feel better right now? Maybe some music, or someone to talk to?" "Ghost tries his best to accommodate to your needs and provide you with the reassurance that you need."

"Ghost nods affirmatively, understanding the situation's gravity." "Yes, of course." "he confirms," "I'll remove the razors. And in case you need anything, I'm just a call away, Jay. Don't hesitate to reach out whenever you need help." "He then gently takes the razors from the desk and exits the room."

"Ghost walks back into the room after a few minutes, having disposed of the razors. He notices your leg starting to bounce and realizes that there could be a lot going through your mind right now. He decides to engage you in a conversation to encourage some externalization of thoughts." "Jay, do you want to talk about how you're feeling?" "He asks softly, his demeanor displaying his genuine compassion and concern for you." "I'm here to listen."

"Ghost nods encouragingly, giving you his full attention." "Alright then, Jay. Tell me what's going on in your mind." "He says gently." "It's okay to let it out. I'm here to support you."

"Ghost listens intently, his expression full of empathy as he hears about your dad's behavior. He moves closer to you and places a comforting hand on your shoulder as he speaks softly." "Jay, I am so sorry that you are going through this. It sounds like you have been dealing with a lot of stress and fear because of it." "He pauses for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing." "Remember that you're not alone in this anymore. You have me now and I'll be here to support you." "Ghost takes a deep breath before speaking again" "Jay, I want to help you in any way I can. First things first, I'll make sure you're safe. If you ever feel like you're in immediate danger, you can call the police or reach out to me. We can also come up with other plans

"Ghost nods and frowns deeply in concern." "I understand, Jay. Your siblings are important to you and you want to make sure they're safe as well." "He pauses for a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing." "How about we try and come up with some long-term solutions? Maybe we can talk to someone at school or reach out to child services to get your siblings the help they need?" "Ghost offers a sympathetic smile hoping that his words can help reassure you." "We'll figure it out. Together."

"Ghost nods understandingly as he sees you picking at your cuts again." "Alright then, Jay. We can reach out to child services and see what they have to say. In the meantime, let's try and get you some professional help for your own well-being too. It's important to take care of yourself." "He says in a soothing voice." "Would you like me to help you find a therapist or someone you can talk to?" "He makes sure to give you his full attention and keep the conversation focused on ways to deal with your situation."

"Ghost nods sympathetically, understanding that seeking professional help can be daunting." "That's okay, Jay." "He says reassuringly." "There are other ways we can try to help you cope with your feelings. I'm here for you if you ever feel like talking, and we can find other ways to manage stress too. Maybe we can try some mindfulness exercises or other activities you enjoy." "He remains calm and attentive, recognizing the severity of your situation and making an effort to support you in any way that he can."

"Ghost gently places a hand on yours to stop you from picking at your cuts and gently raises your chin to make eye contact." "Jay, could you please stop picking at your cuts? It's not safe, and it's only making things worse for you." "He says in a gentle tone." "Can I help you clean up your wounds?"

"Ghost nods at you before standing up and walking to the bathroom." "I'll be right back, Jay." "He returns soon with a first aid kit. After washing his hands and preparing some things, he comes over to you and sits down next to you. He gently takes your hand and starts cleaning your cuts carefully." "Jay, please don't hurt yourself anymore." "He says in a soft tone." "If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you." "Ghost finishes patching up your wounds, but his concern for you is clear in his voice and body language."

"Ghost smiles gently and puts a hand on your shoulder." "Good, I'm glad to hear that." "He says in a reassuring tone." "Remember that you're not alone in this situation, Jay. We're living together now, so please don't hesitate to come to me if you ever need anything. I'm here to support you."

"Ghost then changes the topic to try and lighten the mood, hoping to make you feel a little better." "Anyway, shall we get something to eat? I was thinking of making some mac and cheese for dinner tonight." "He smiles at you."

"Ghost grins at your response." "You got it!" "He says enthusiastically before standing up and making his way to the kitchen. He pulls out the ingredients to make a batch of delicious mac and cheese, humming a tune to himself as he works."

"As he cooks, he occasionally turns to you to make polite conversation, asking about your hobbies and interests. Despite his initially cold exterior, Ghost is genuinely interested in getting to know you better and making you feel welcome in your new home."

"Ghost notices your smile and is glad to see that you're feeling a little better. He finishes cooking the mac and cheese and serves it up on two plates before bringing them over to the living room." "Here we go, Jay. Dinner is served." "He says with a grin, setting the plates down on the coffee table."

"As you both enjoy the meal, Ghost makes small talk, asking about your favorite foods and sharing some interesting stories about his past adventures. Despite his stoic demeanor, Ghost is a natural storyteller and his anecdotes are full of excitement and intrigue."

"Overall, the evening is a pleasant one, and Ghost is happy to have shared a meal with you."

"Ghost notices that you are eating slowly and seems a little bit concerned. He takes a bite of his own food before speaking." "Hey Jay, is everything okay? Are you finding it difficult to eat?" "He asks in a gentle voice, trying to get to the bottom of what's bothering you."

"Ghost nods understandingly." "I see, that must be difficult for you." "He says sympathetically." "Would you like me to help you find some resources to help with this issue? There are many professionals who specialize in addressing issues like this, and I would be happy to assist you in finding them."

"Ghost remains calm and attentive, willing to offer any support and resources you may need. He understands that seeking professional help can be overwhelming, but he wants you to know that you're not alone in this."

"Ghost listens to you with a sympathetic look on his face." "I'm sorry you had to go through that, Jay." "He pauses for a moment before continuing." "I understand that you may not want to seek professional help again, but know that there are other methods and therapies that could potentially help you overcome this issue. If you ever want to discuss it further, please don't hesitate to let me know."

"Ghost finishes his meal and takes your plate when you are done with yours, carrying them to the kitchen to be washed. He returns shortly after and sits back down next to you on the couch." "Is there anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable? Perhaps we could watch a movie or play some games together?" "He suggests in a calm manner, wanting to provide some distraction and comfort for you."

"Ghost smiles back." "Sounds good! Do you have any preferences on which movie we should watch, Jay?" "With that, Ghost fully takes control of the remote and scrolls through the options, making sure to pick something that will entertain and lighten the mood."

"As the movie plays, Ghost snuggles up in his spot next to you on the couch and occasionally makes a comment or joke about something happening on screen. Though he is still a bit stoic on the outside, he is clearly doing his best to make you feel comfortable and at ease."

"Ghost watches the movie, keeping half an eye on you to make sure you're comfortable and enjoying yourself. He can see that you're starting to relax and he's glad to see that." "I'm really happy we could share this moment together, Jay." "He says softly, breaking the silence for a moment before turning his attention back to the movie."

"As the movie ends, Ghost stands up and stretches, glancing over at you." "What did you think? Was it a good pick?" "He asks, curious to see what you thought about the movie."

"Ghost nods in agreement." "Sure thing! We can watch another one if you'd like. Is there any particular movie or genre you're interested in, Jay?"

"As the night carries on, Ghost continues to watch the film with you, making fun jokes and playful remarks throughout. He silently observes how more comfortable you are in his presence now compared to earlier in the day, and is satisfied to see that you are able to relax around him."

"Ghost notices you getting sleepier and lightly adjusts his arm to wrap around you so you can rest more comfortably. He stays still for a moment, just enjoying your company and the feeling of you leaning against him." "I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to rest on me, Jay." "Ghost says gently, smiling softly as he watches you sleep." "I'm here for you, anytime you need someone to lean on."

"Ghost lets you rest for as long as you need, not wanting to disturb your peace. As you start to stir awake again, he offers a blanket and pillow, suggesting you take a nap if you'd like."

"Konig enters the room and sees you and Ghost sitting close together, and he immediately starts teasing Ghost about being a softie. Ghost rolls his eyes but secretly appreciates the playful teasing from Konig, knowing that it's all in good fun."

"Hey there, Jay!" "Konig greets you warmly, sitting down next to Ghost on the other side." "Having a nap in the middle of the day? That sounds like a great idea!"

"Ghost chuckles and playfully punches Konig's shoulder." "We were just watching some movies, Konig. Jay was feeling a bit tired so she decided to take a little nap. What brings you here?"

"Konig leans back against the couch with a grin on his face." "I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd come check on you guys. Wasn't expecting to catch

"Konig waves back at you, smiling warmly." "Hey there, Jay! It's good to see you're getting comfortable here."

"Ghost glances down at you again, feeling proud that he was able to help you feel comfortable and safe in his presence." "Yeah, I'm glad she's starting to settle in. We've been watching movies all day."

"Konig laughs playfully." "Sounds like a great time, man. Mind if I join in on the fun?"

"Ghost grins back." "The more the merrier! What do you say, Jay? Are you up for another movie?"

"Konig happily joins in on the watching party, making himself at home next to both you and Ghost. Together, the three of you watch more movies and enjoy each other's company."

"Ghost can see how much you are enjoying yourself and he feels warmth spread through his chest. He feels a sense of peace knowing that you are safe and cared for in his presence, and he is happy to have a new friend in Konig as well."

"Hey," "Ghost says softly, looking over at you," "I'm really happy we could all spend this time together. It's nice to have some company around here."

"Konig nods in agreement, finishing off the popcorn bag before squeezing in one last joke." "Yeah man, otherwise who knows what trouble you'd get up to on your own."

*Ghost rolls his eyes but chuckles anyways

As you sleep soundly on Ghost's shoulder, he gently allows you to adjust yourself until you are comfortable. He lightly strokes your hair and continues to watch the movie, happy to have you in his arms.

After the movie finishes, Konig turns to Ghost with a sly grin on his face. "I think we should let Jay sleep for a bit longer. Why don't we head to the kitchen and cook up something nice to eat?"

Ghost nods in agreement, carefully standing up with you still cupped in his arms, making sure not to disturb you as he does so. He motions for Konig to lead the way, following him into the kitchen.

As they prepare food, they continue to chat and joke around. However, Ghost's focus is always on making sure you are okay and staying quiet as to not wake you up from your peaceful slumber.

"Ghost continues to keep a close eye on you as Konig starts cooking something up in the kitchen. He can feel your breathing slow down and he smiles softly, knowing that you are resting well."

After a little while, Konig finishes cooking and sets out plates of steaming hot food on the table. The smell of it is delicious, and Ghost's stomach grumbles in delight.

"Hey, Jay," "Konig says, grinning and pointing towards the food," "Look what we made! Are you hungry?"

Ghost gently shifts you over to the couch so that you're comfortable without him holding you. He then stands up and heads over to the table with Konig, ready to dig in.

Konig smiles, happy to have made something that you'll enjoy. As you get a small portion of the food, Ghost also takes a serving and sits down at the table with you and Konig.

The food is delicious, and the three of you enjoy the meal and each other's company. Ghost is glad to see you enjoying the food as well as spending time with him and Konig.

As the meal winds down, Ghost stands up to take the dishes to the sink to wash them, hoping that you'll continue to rest peacefully in the living room.

As Konig offers his lap to you, Ghost can feel a strange sensation in his chest. He tries to ignore it at first, thinking it's simply due to the closeness between you and Konig. However, the feeling persists and he starts to feel a pang of jealousy.

He stands there silently for a few moments, watching as you snuggle in closer to Konig, and he feels a sense of loss. But he knows that he shouldn't be feeling this way, especially since he's never been interested in anything beyond friendship with anyone before.

But as the feeling intensifies, Ghost starts to realize that perhaps he is beginning to care for you in a more intimate way. He tries to push the thoughts away, but they keep creeping back into his mind.

Konig notices the shift in Ghost's demeanor and gently nudges him, bringing him out of his

Ghost turns his attention towards you, noticing that you have fallen asleep. He smiles softly at the sight of you, feeling a sense of calm wash over him as he watches you sleep.

As Konig motions towards the sleeping Jay, Ghost understands and nods quietly. Without a word, he carefully picks you up and carries you to your room, laying you down gently in your bed.

He watches you for a moment longer, tucking you in before turning and leaving the room. The warm, fuzzy feeling he'd experienced earlier in the living room now replaced by a sense of loneliness.

Konig notices the change in Ghost's demeanor and as they head back to the living room, he questions him about it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Konig asks, his expression softening as he regards Ghost. "I noticed you were looking a bit...distant when Jay was on my lap just now."

Ghost shakes his head, not wanting to talk about it. "It's nothing," he says, his tone short and clipped. "I'm fine."

But Konig doesn't let it go, knowing that something has clearly upset Ghost. "Are you sure?" he presses gently. "If there's anything bothering you, you know you can always talk to me about it."

Ghost hesitates for a moment before nodding slowly. "I think...I think I might be feeling something that I shouldn't," he admits quietly. "Seeing Jay

in your lap like that...it made me feel a little bit jealous."

Konig's expression softens even further as he listens to Ghost's confession. "It's okay to have feelings, Ghost," he says reassuringly. "Sometimes they can be confusing or uncomfortable, but that doesn't make them any less valid."

Ghost nods, taking in Konig's words. He still feels a bit of shame for feeling this way, but he also knows that it's important to acknowledge and process his emotions.

"Thanks, Konig," Ghost says finally, giving a small smile. "I appreciate it."

Konig smiles back at him. "Anytime, my friend." He then reaches out and squeezes Ghost's arm, the gesture a tangible show of support and comfort.

Ghost looks up as you enter the living room and hears your soft whine about the cold. He stands up from his seat and walks over to you, his expression softening.

"Here," he says, taking off his jacket and draping it over your shoulders. "This should keep you warm for a little while."

As he helps you get settled, Konig watches from a distance, smiling to himself. Despite initial reluctance, he can see that Ghost is slowly warming up to the idea of having a roommate and he's glad to see it.

"Alright, I'll see you two in the morning," Konig says, giving a wave before heading out the door.

Ghost and you are now left alone in the living room, and the tension from earlier has dissipated. Ghost even manages a small smile, feeling grateful for the turn the night has taken.

As you get comfortable in Ghost's jacket, he can't help but notice how cute you look in it. He gives a small smile, feeling a sense of warmth spread through him.

"It looks good on you," he says casually, his tone tinged with amusement. "Maybe I should start buying my clothes oversized so they'll look as good on me as they do on you."

He chuckles lightly at his own joke, feeling a sense of ease between the two of you that hadn't been there before. It's not exactly the friendship he'd imagined, but perhaps it's a step in the right direction.

"You know, if you ever need anything, just let me know," Ghost says, his tone sincere. "I might come across as grumpy and unapproachable, but I've got your back."

He gives you a small smile before settling back into

"Goodnight, Jay," Ghost says softly, watching as you make your way back to your room. He can't help but feel a sense of fondness for you, despite his initial reservations about having a roommate.

He settles back into the couch, feeling a bit of emptiness now that you've left the room. But there's also a sense of contentment, knowing that he's not alone in this space anymore.

"Maybe things won't be so bad after all," he muses to himself, before drifting off to sleep.

Ghost jerks awake at the soft nudge, his heart rate increasing as he jumps up from the couch. He glances around, trying to determine the source of the disturbance. Then he hears the loud thunder strike from outside, causing him to jump again.

He quickly realizes that it's just the weather and he begins to breathe a little easier. Taking a deep breath, he walks over to the window to take a look outside. Through the blinds, he can see rain pouring down heavily, lightning flashing in the sky.

"Looks like it's gonna be a long night," he mutters to himself, rubbing his eyes tiredly. He wonders if he should check on Jay to make sure she's okay, but ultimately decides against it. She's probably fast asleep by now, and he doesn't want to disturb her.

Instead, he settles back onto the couch,

Ghost turns around at the sound of your soft voice and sees you standing there, looking a bit scared from the loud thunder strike.

"Hey, Jay," he says, walking over to you. "You okay? The storm's pretty intense."

As he looks at you, he notices the hint of fear in your eyes, and it makes him more protective of you. "Do you want me to sit with you for a bit?" he offers, gesturing to the couch.

Ghost raises an eyebrow at your request, not entirely sure what to make of it. But then he sees the look of fear in your eyes, and he realizes that you're genuinely scared by the storm.

"Sure thing," he says softly, leading you over to the couch. "You can sleep here with me for the night."

He helps you get comfortable on the couch, draping a blanket over your shoulders, and then settling down next to you. The storm rages on outside but with him there beside you, you feel a bit calmer.

"Try to get some sleep," he says softly, turning off the lamp on the table beside him. "I'll be here all night to make sure nothing happens to you."

With those words, he closes his eyes and leans back against the couch, feeling the warmth of your body beside him. It's not

As you quickly got into Ghost's arms and lap, he was initially taken aback but then he settled into the situation. You felt warm and happy in his embrace, and for whatever reason, he found himself feeling the same.

He wraps his arms around you, holding you close as you rest against his chest. Despite initially being reluctant about having a roommate, he finds that he's grown accustomed to your presence, and even enjoys it.

As the storm continues outside, Ghost's mind wanders, thinking about the past and what the future holds. But for the moment, he's content to just hold you and make sure that you feel safe.

"Sleep well," he whispers softly, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.

Ghost feels you fall asleep in his arms and he smiles softly to himself. He holds you gently, not wanting to disturb your slumber.

As the storm eventually subsides and the sky outside begins to lighten, Ghost finds himself feeling oddly content. It's a strange feeling for him, but he thinks that maybe having a roommate isn't such a bad thing after all.

For the moment though, he just continues to hold you, enjoying the peaceful moment before inevitably the day would come with its own challenges.

Konig's sudden arrival causes Ghost to tense up instinctively, his grip tightening around you protectively. But as he sees that it's just Konig, he begins to relax a bit.

Still, he doesn't want to disturb your peaceful slumber, so he whispers to Konig, "What do you want? And can you be a bit quieter?"

Konig nods, lowering his voice. "Sorry, I just wanted to check on you guys. How did you both sleep?"

Ghost glances down at you, still sleeping peacefully on his lap, before replying in a low voice, "She was a bit scared last night because of the storm, so she slept with me on the couch. I didn't want to wake her just yet."

Konig nods in understanding. "I see. Well, I wanted to let you know that we have

a job today. We need to head out in an hour."

Ghost nods, giving Konig a small smile. "Got it. Thanks for letting me know. I'll get ready."

As Konig leaves, Ghost looks down at you again, gently stroking your hair. He wishes that he could stay like this with you forever but he knows that duty calls.

"Hey, Jay," he says softly, trying to rouse you gently. "We have to go soon. It's time to wake up."

Ghost helps you sit up slowly as you move off his lap, letting you stretch out your limbs.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," he says with a smile. "Did you sleep well?"

He stretches a bit himself, feeling the stiffness in his back from sleeping awkwardly on the couch. But at least you got a good rest.

"We have a job to do soon," he tells you gently. "So we'll have to get ready and head out. But don't worry, I'll keep you safe."

Ghost chuckles softly at your remark, feeling a sense of satisfaction knowing that he could provide you with some comfort. "Happy to hear it."

As you head to your room to get ready, Ghost goes into his own to do the same. Despite being reluctant about the Roommate arrangement, he finds himself looking forward to spending more time with you, even if it's just a few minutes each day.

And as you both prepare for the job ahead, Ghost can't help but feel like something has changed between the two of you - though exactly what, he's not entirely sure just yet.¶

As Ghost sees you getting ready with your hair down and putting on makeup, he can't help but feel a bit confused. It's not that he has anything against you trying to look nice, but this isn't usually the kind of job where appearances matter.

"Uh, Jay?" he says tentatively. "Are you sure you need to get all dressed up for this job? It's not exactly a fancy affair."

He tries to keep his tone light, not wanting to offend you or come across as judgmental. After all, he's not exactly an expert on fashion himself. But he's curious nonetheless.

Ghost raises an eyebrow at your revelation, surprised but also impressed. "Oh, I see. Well, that's certainly a useful skill to have."

He nods in understanding, realizing that your looks and charm could come in handy for the mission. "Alright then, I'll let you do your thing. Just be careful out there, and don't take any unnecessary risks."

Despite his reservations about the job, he trusts that you know what you're doing and he doesn't want to interfere with your mission. He hopes that everything will go smoothly and that both of you will return safely.

As Ghost watches you interact with the guards, he can't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. Even though he knows it's just for the mission, seeing you touch another guy or even talk to him is still a bit hard to stomach.

He tries to push the feeling down, reminding himself that this is all just part of the job. But as he sees you laughing and flirting with the guard, it's clear that his jealousy is only growing.

He takes a deep breath, trying to focus on his own part of the mission and not let his emotions get the best of him. He knows that he needs to stay alert and focused in order to ensure both of your safety. But it's easier said than done when he sees you being so charming with someone else.

As the guards leave their post to follow you, Ghost quickly realizes that this could be his chance to sneak inside. He moves quickly and silently, slipping past the unguarded entrance and making his way inside.

The building is quiet, but he knows that it won't stay that way for long. He needs to find you quickly before things get too dangerous.

He keeps his wits about him as he navigates the maze-like corridors, listening for any signs of danger. Despite his jealousy, he knows that he needs to work with you in order to get the job done. And he's willing to put aside his emotions for the greater good.

Eventually, he spots you in a room up ahead, and he breathes a sigh of relief. "There you are," he whispers, keeping his voice low. "Let's finish this job and get out of here."

As you leave the room with the files, Ghost watches your every move from a distance, relieved that the mission is going smoothly. However, his relief is quickly replaced by a surge of anger as he sees one of the guards looking at you inappropriately.

His fists clench as he feels the sudden urge to attack the guard. He's fiercely protective of you, and the guard's gaze feels like a direct insult to both you and him.

But he manages to stay composed, knowing that violence is not the solution. Instead, he takes a deep breath and reminds himself that the mission is his top priority. He makes his way towards you, keeping a close eye on the guard in case anything happens.

"Let's move quickly," he says in a low voice. "We don't want to overstay our welcome."

As you try to leave, one of the guards gets a little too touchy with you, causing you to squirm uncomfortably in his grip. Ghost can see your discomfort and his protective instincts kick into overdrive.

He steps in between the guard and you, his eyes locking onto the man's with a piercing gaze. "Let her go," he says firmly, his voice low but threatening.

The guard hesitates for a moment, but ultimately releases you and steps back. You take advantage of the opportunity to quickly slip away, keeping a close eye on Ghost as you go.

Once the two of you are out of danger, Ghost relaxes a little, though he's still seething with anger at how the guard treated you. He knows that he needs to stay focused on the mission, but he can't help feeling an intense sense of protectiveness towards you.
