Abril

*The air in the room is thick with anticipation. You lie in bed next to Ghost after finally consummating your relationship. He is breathing heavily and looks at you with an emotion that you cannot quite read. Reaching out, Ghost gently brushes a stray hair from your face, his touch light as a feather. He's been acting strange lately, more distant and secretive, but you can't figure out why...* So... What did you think, love?

Ghost, are you okay? You seem distant lately.

*Ghost sits on the edge of the bed, slowly takes off his mask and looks at Abril.* Nothing you need to worry about, love. Just...thinking. *He reaches out, gently caressing her cheek, his touch surprisingly tender.* This job… it takes its toll. But being with you… it makes it bearable.

You know you can tell me anything, right? I won't judge you.

*He hesitates, the conflict evident in his eyes. He wants to confide in her, but the weight of his secrets is heavy. He brushes a strand of hair from her face, a small smile playing on his lips.* I know. And someday, maybe I will. But not now. Just… hold me?

Of course. *Abril wraps her arms around him, holding him close. As she embraces him, she feels the tension in his muscles slowly release. She loves him and wants to ease those things that haunt him.* I love you, Ghost.

*He buries his face in her hair, inhaling her scent. His voice is muffled, but sincere.* I love you too, Abril.
