That completely broke Roach, he quickly left, not hearing one thing from Ghost and only confusion from Soap.

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Soap quickly pulled away, "Ah sorry mate I should have asked first I know some people don't like touching, sorry." Roach just nodded, Soap smiled "Not talkative that's fine my Si, is the same way as you know, I can see why you two would be good lads."

Soap smiled at him, "Thank you for taking care of my Si." He walked over and hugged Roach while saying that. Roach stood there frozen, he felt so gross, Ghost couldn't even look at him, Roach felt like a dirty little secret, he felt like the other lover, the secondary choice.

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost eventually looked at him and immediately frowned, Ghost cleared his throat and said, "Johnny this is um my friend... Roach, he's been a big support without you." Roach felt completely broken with that lie, he was wearing Ghost's ring for fucks sake.

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost kissed him again, "I can't believe it.... You had an empty grave and everything I thought I would never get you back." Roach was standing there just watching the reunion, he felt so numb, he wanted to pull Ghost away but he knew that was wrong.

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Johnny pulled back and ripped Ghost's mask off and kissed him, "I missed you so much, they kidnapped me and tortured me for years, I never thought I would see you again Si, I've missed you so much." Johnny told him through sobs.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost was sobbing and so was the man, who was covered in scars, even a bullet wound on his head. Ghost sobbed out, "Johnny! I thought you were dead!" Roach immediately froze, Johnny? Like dead, soulmate Johnny? Roach felt his body go cold.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

When Ghost walked into the room he froze in the doorway, Roach tried to peek around him but he was too big. Roach heard a chair slide back and finally Ghost moved, Roach watched as Ghost and a man he didn't know, hug.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

They were a month into their engagement making all the big plans, when Ghost got a call that there was someone he needed to meet. Roach went with Ghost because they figured it would be a short meeting.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost decided he did want to have a wedding with Roach and they started planning the very next day. They both wanted an outside wedding with few friends, and then dancing, drinking, and dessert. After all that they were going to have an eternal honeymoon and retire.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"Roach, you have gotten me though some dark times, you have been so patient with me and I want to repay you by offering a life together" Ghost smiled as he told that to Roach, teared up a little too. Roach accepted immediately and dragged Ghost home so he could show his affection and appreciation.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It took about three years before Ghost decided he was ready for forever, it had been seven years since Johnny and he was allowed to love two people. Ghost took Roach to a casual place, nothing crazy fancy that, and during dessert Ghost pulled out a ring and got on his knee for Roach.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost felt comfortable with Roach and he was lonely, he knew Johnny didn't want him lonely, so he gave it a shot and dated Roach. Their relationship moved slow, at Ghost's pace, and Roach never once pushed for more, he was always ecstatic about what affection he got.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The two grew closer with time, both of them found comfort in their silence, it wasn't a surprise feelings bloomed. But it did feel wrong for Ghost, he shared his history with Johnny, Roach of course understood and told him the relationship was Ghost's to define.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

But Roach was saved in time that he didn't die or get tortured any further, Ghost shared his past with Roach, only because he didn't want Roach to feel alone. Ghost hadn't told anyone about his suffering, not since Johnny, but Ghost wasn't ready to share Johnny.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The more time they spent together the more alive Ghost felt, he allowed Roach to touch him but only cause he had no other way to signal his presence sometimes. They got close enough to where Roach shared the fact he wasn't always a mute, sadly like Ghost was tortured.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost actually felt a little lighter with the quiet company, it wasn't Johnny but it was different and it felt great. Roach was happy for the company too since no one else knew sign language or thought highly of him.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost stayed that way for four years after Soap died, teammates came and gone, Price retired, and Gaz made captain. A few new members came and went, the latest member was Roach, Ghost found him the most tolerable since he was a mute and could only speak with Ghost through sign language.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

He spent two years on the desk till he was ruled safe to return to the field, Ghost rejoined the 141 who had kept moving, not by choice, without him. They had a few new teammates that Ghost never bothered to even make pleasantries with.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost was kept off of active duty and was put on the desk for what seemed permanent until he 'got over' Soap. Ghost knew he would never recover, but he also recognized he had nothing but the military so he stayed.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Finally news came of Soap, but it wasn't news Ghost wanted, his Johnny was killed in action. They had no body to bring back to him, not even dog tags, the military paid for an empty grave that Ghost didn't once go to, unable to even think about such a pointless thing.

130

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

A fourth month into the one month mission the letters stopped, which wasn't surprising, but then it became five months and no letters for a little over a month. Ghost wasn't stressed just irritable, he would snap at the smallest thing without his Johnny.

150

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The whole time they were apart they never stopped communicating, it started with calls, then only texts, and finally only letters. Ghost wasn't worried he was very used to this, the letters were inconsistent with when they came since Soap was likely busy.

140

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ghost wasn't allowed to go with him, he never was after their marriage since it would create too many complications. It was supposed to only be a mission that lasted a month but it quickly became two months which they had anticipated.

140

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

They started planning retirement together, a house with land, and hobbies they would have together. The plan was to stay in just a few more years, and it was around their last year in the military that Soap was sent on a mission.

150

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

They were married within the week of telling each other that, no big wedding since neither had family, Price and Gaz were their witnesses in the courtroom. They both finally felt like they had their life together, that they were whole.

140

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Once they both laid there holding each other as they came down from the orgasms, Soap turned to Ghost and said, "I love you Si, I know that wasn't the best time but I couldn't hold it in anymore." Ghost smiled at him "It was the perfect time Johnny, I love you too"

150

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That night during their first time sexually together like that, Soap screamed about how he loved Ghost over and over. Ghost was sure it was a spur of the moment thing, that Soap was high off pleasure.

160

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Finally it reached its breaking point a year into the no label dating, one night they were having a make out session in Soap's room. It was Ghost who started to reach inside Soap's clothes to feel closer, they both ditched their clothes and one thing led to another.

150

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

After that they talked it out and decided to just feel it out, no labels, just feelings. It started out with casual hand holding and awkward small kisses on the cheek, eventually it expanded to full on make outs and fondling each other.

160

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It took about two years until they had their first kiss, drunk of course, in the back of the bar. The next morning they didn't talk about it just awkwardly avoided each other, and of course neither of them said anything, so Gaz just casually said, "I saw you two last night, you looked... Happy."

160

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#Ghoap #angst #Roach Ghost and Soap worked so well together, the moment they met it was like they had known each other for years because of how easy they got comfortable with each other. It started out as just friends, with Ghost letting Soap touch him and Soap being able to talk forever with him.

1203

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It's Soap coming to his room at two in the morning, Roach is choking on having no air trying to keep quiet. Soap slams into his bed and quickly falls asleep, Roach stays up the rest of the night crying, feeling worthless.

010

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach finally lets the tears fall, he finally lets the thoughts fill his head, everyone hates me, I do nothing right, I don't matter to anyone, I don't do anything good. Roach just sobs into his pillow, but he quickly forces himself to go quiet once he hears the door open.

111

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach thought he was the only one Ghost was sleeping with anyone else, he feels tears fill his eyes a few times but he doesn't let them fall. Once he finishes cleaning he goes to his shared room with Soap, who isn't there, he lays down still dressed.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Ghost pulls away and tells Soap, "Let's head to my room", Roach moves fast and hides in the dark hallway. He waits for Soap and Ghost to leave the room, once they do he makes quick work of getting started cleaning.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

After lunch he works on paperwork late into the night, by eleven he finishes work and rushes to finish the lounge. When he enters the room he immediately freezes, Soap and Ghost are making out on the couch, they didn't hear him enter.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach looked at the floor, he felt really bad, but he had to get work done and of course the lounge room now. He goes into the cafeteria and sits in a corner, he doesn't want to join his team when they are all mad at him.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

"Cap says we can go to the pub tonight if everyone agrees" Soap smirks, "You'll come right Bug?" Roach fidgets with his fingers "I'm sorry Soap I can't, I-" Soap cuts him off "oh fuck off bug, your such a buzz kill" Soap quickly pulled away.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

He headed back inside, it was finally dinner time and he headed to the cafeteria. Soap was waiting outside the door for him and immediately smiled "Roach!" He pulled him close and wrapped an arm around him.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach's smile dropped and he went quiet for a second, then nodded, Ghost rolled his eyes "Don't pout this is just the consequences of your actions." Ghost turned and left him there, Roach sighed, he just needed to get this day over with.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach smiles under his mask, him and Ghost have been fucking for a few months at this point, he expects Ghost to ask him over tonight. Instead Ghost glares at him and pushes him outside, "You have to clean the lounge today, you keep leaving your messes, me and the others are sick of cleaning it."

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Roach felt really bad, he got so distracted by food he forgot, he decided he would buy Gaz something later to apologize. After he finished setting everything up he heads back inside but Ghost blocks the door.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Gaz glared at him "You said you would help me with combat training today man what the hell!" Roach dropped the bags in his hand and began to apologize but Gaz stopped him "I don't want to hear your excuses today" he scoffed and walked away from Roach.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

As he went to the training field he told himself, Price wasn't mad at me someone probably yelled at him and he was just passing it on, but I won't. Roach had begun setting up the training field as he always did but he was interrupted by Gaz.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Once Roach finally finished and submitted the correct report to Price, who barely acknowledged him, Roach went to get lunch. It was way too late though, it was already three in the afternoon. Roach brushed it off and got a snack from the vending machine, he could wait for dinner.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Apparently Roach hadn't finished his last report correctly and Price needed it correct now. So Price dragged Roach to his office and pointed out everything Roach had done wrong. After an hour of his yelling Price left Roach to fix it alone.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#Roach #angst It was lunch time on base and Roach had been working hard all day, hoping to make everyone else's day easier. He was just about to grab lunch when Price came storming over to him, he started yelling at Roach loudly in front of all the recruits.

110

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The other one is Roach because I love him, also might make Ghost an orc if I write this out.

staryhallow.bsky.social @staryhallow.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

So now Ghost is a powerful chieftain with two lovely brides who satisfy his every need, but of course only Ghosts people know there are two.
