#also anon never apologize for hella long word vomits or clogging my asks

[boxofthings]

anon is back to scream into the void ghostroach thoughts, I just feel like this duo would fit the quality time love language so well, because of the like, forbidden nature of their relationship as superior and subordinate yknow, and also because ghost is a private person probably, but like back to the initial thought, just,,, imagine, it ain’t that noticeable but if you’re aware of their relationship you’ll notice that ghost and roach are often just in the same room as each other, maybe not interacting a lot of the time, maybe they don’t even acknowledge each other, but they’re always together, just, being content with being around each other, and I think it’d be cute to see through soaps eyes how they subtly show affection for each other, maybe not so subtly, idk. Also hands, is this just wish fulfilment on my part, maybe, but like hands??? Do you know what I mean??? I think I’m being too vague, let me expand on the previous spa day suggestion, because I was specifically thinking about taking care of someone’s hands!!! Especially when they use it for like, not so nice deeds, it’s just the thought that maybe ghost isn’t too nice on himself and being vulnerable enough to trust roach and finding a lil self love to allow himself this creature comfort. I just want my boys to be taken care of, ok, they deserve the world dammit. Ah, sorry for uh, the word vomit, ghostroach just makes me feel so many things

YOU ARE SO CORRECT ANON scream your ghostroach thoughts louder into the void

I agree 100% with this and the whole quality time love language would be such a huge element of this pairing considering what Ghost's character is like and how I hc Roach's character.

Ghost is someone who I see struggling with being emotional verbally and being able to express his love for someone through heavier acts of affection (like giving flowers, kissing, PDA, etc..)

And Roach seems like someone that likes people-watching, or appreciating moments quietly (I hc him being a talkative mute, but overall I think he'd be a very chill and emmersive kinda guy that likes to sit on the sidelines and observe).

So when these two are paired together they probably like to sit in silence a lot. Maybe Roach will make a comment and Ghost will respond with a simple grunt of acknowledgement. Roach will write in his journal, Ghost might just be vaguely watching the room or strategizing for their next mission in his head, and the only indication that they even acknowledge the other is a small point of contact (shoulders touching, someone's knee touching the other, etc) just little things that, unless you knew them, you wouldn't catch.

This is probably their favourite leisure activity, not having to deal with the chaos of their military lives, being able to settle down and relax whilst having their loved one safe and next to them. And if they have privacy, they absolutely take care of each other. Just lazy and gentle touches where they don't even speak and just allow themselves to unwind. Probably some body worship lmao and just overall softness.

and the HANDS. absolutely them having a thing for each other's hands. While I don't see them being very PDA (especially since relations between superior and subordinate are prohibited) I do see them playing around with each other's hands when they're alone or just in the rush of the moment, like right before they have to separate on a mission (hooking fingers, tracing shapes in the other's palms, etc).

I actually do have a wip where we observe ghostroach's dynamic through Soap's eyes! I just feel like they'd be a very subtle couple but if you have a keen eye and know them well, every little thing they do with each other means sm more.
