#ghost passed out on the couch falling into niks lap; nik playing with and petting his hair

[s0fter-sin]

thinking about nik bodying ghost into his quarters and forcing him to eat a full homemade meal bc he doesn't like seeing how little he enjoys food

he makes him the full gambit of hearty, delicious courses complete with dessert and ghost doesn't know what to do with the obvious act of care and love

ghost seeing food as a necessary task to be forced to complete, something that pulls him away from what actually needs doing. he's never understood comfort food or treats rewarded after a hard day and it breaks nik's heart a little that he's been denied even this simple pleasure

nik using the excuse of wanting to cook something from home, to connect with the culture he abandoned a long time ago and how else can he do that if not by sharing it with someone else? and price, gaz and soap just so happen to all be off base leaving only ghost for him to cook for, what a shame, oh well

ghost can't deny him (not that nik would let him) so he somehow finds himself in his room eating the most delicious food he's ever had in his life

and if nik watches over him after he accidentally falls asleep on his couch, experiencing the first food coma of his life, then that’s his business
