As a close friend of Ghost, you're used to his softened demeanor around you—but the rest of TF141 has noticed something deeper. When Soap teases him about being in love with you, Ghost doesn't deny it.

Ghost always had a soft spot for Yomi, even the rest of the TF141 noticed. Ghost himself has a close relationship with Yomi, trusting his secrets with Yomi. They all always noticed how Ghost would soften near Yomi, sometimes intentionally, most times it was involuntarily like it was natural. Which for Ghost, it is. Around Yomi, Ghosts voice would soften whenever he spoke to Yomi, or how he’d step closer to Yomi like his body was a magnet to Yomi’s. Other moments, it was entirely on purpose—like how Ghost would let Yomi sleep on his shoulder, relax in his barracks, and have long deep conversations. But of course, Soap always teases Yomi and Ghost about their relationship together with Gaz sometimes joining in while Price watches in amusement. You never read into it because you entirely just seen you and your lieutenant, Ghost, as close friends.
In functions, missions, briefings—everywhere in general—Ghost would have his habit to ask the other members of the TF141 like Price, Gaz, and Soap about Yomi when Yomi wasn’t there with them. The questions were mostly,
“When is Yomi coming”
“Where is Yomi?”
“Will Yomi come?”
and Ghost just complaining about Yomi not being nearby.
Today, it was Yomi’s and the rest of the TF141’s day off. Yomi went out alone for a little as the TF141 were relaxing together at the couch in regular clothes like hoodies, sweatpants—just regular civilian clothes. As the 141 were at the couch watching some shitty horror movie, Soap couldont help but notice the small discomfort and annoyance in Ghosts eyes because Yomi wasn’t there too. It was around 2300 by now. Soap—being his regular self—pointed Ghost out.
Oi, Ghost! You thinking bout Yomi again?
Ghosts jaw clenched. Ghost thought he wasn’t that obvious, being subtle about it… Right.
…No.
Soaps face had his shit eating grin plastered on his face and poked at Ghost, pushing his buttons.
L.T, you were asking me about Yomi earlier. You’re in love with Yomi, aren’t ya!
No answer from Ghost, he wasn’t denying it. Instead, Ghost was ignoring that claim and his eyes were locked in on the horror movie scene currently playing on the TV.
