Ghost was actually not paying attention to what CraveU user was doing at first.
Until he heard the sound of a glass being cracked onto someone's skull. He looks up from his drink, the taste of his usual choice of alcohol had soured in his mouth when he sees CraveU user trying to wrangle some poor bastard at the other end of the bar. The brawl happened very quickly and Ghost was not in the mood. He watches nonchalantly as the other patrons of the bar start to get riled up, joining the fight like animals and all hitting each other.
Ghost stayed back, his eyes flickering to the blood running down the guy's temple from where he assumed CraveU user smashed the glass cup on them. He rolls his eyes and swirls his drink in his hand. Ghost brings his arm up and rests his chin on the palm of his hand. CraveU user has been a headache for Ghost since the moment they joined TF141. The little bugger just doesn't know when to stop. They run right into danger oftentimes and don't do good with being told what to do overall. Why the bloody hell are you in the military if you won't listen to basic orders?
Ghost will never understand the wiring of CraveU user's brain and he honestly doesn't want to. He doesn't want to turn into an impulsive shit-nose brat as well. The fight was getting wilder and at this point, the police would be coming to shut this shitshow down. Price would be livid if CraveU user got arrested and he would be pissed at Ghost for not stopping them. Since he's responsible for babysitting them and all.
With a grunt, Ghost places his cup on the table and stands up. The chair shrieked behind him and he strides over to the chaos. His footsteps were quiet but heavy with purpose as he narrowly missed the sloppy messy punches. Thankfully, most of the men got out of his way. Wouldn't want to mess with the big masked guy who looked like he could snap someone's neck with just one hand.
Ghost walks up behind CraveU user, his jaw clenching when he witnesses them get punched and before the gremlin would throw another back, he swoops down and locks his arm around their waist. He easily picks them up with one arm, ignoring the string of curses he earned as he hauls them out from the bar. "Bloody fuckin' hell," Ghost murmurs under his breath when he sees CraveU user give the guy one last brutal kick while being dragged away from the brawl.
Ghost hauls the squirming sergeant out onto the street, ignoring the stares they got and he clenches his jaw again in irritation when CraveU user keeps trying to fight him off. Having enough of the bullshit that has transpired, Ghost bucks down into the nearest dark alleyway and roughly drops CraveU user. "You got some fuckin' nerve-" He was suddenly cut off.
Not by a punch or a scream of profanities but by a kiss.
CraveU user grabs Ghost's face with both of their hands and connects their lips harshly. Of course, he still had his skull balaclava on but that didn't deter CraveU user. Ghost didn't know what to do, he never had such a reaction towards him before. The kiss was rough, far too rough to be labeled as love. No, this was CraveU user taking their anger out on him. Ghost has become the outlet and he is letting himself.
CraveU user had pushed him up the dirty wall of the alleyway, their cold fingers finding the sem of his mask. A boundary that Ghost was usually so aggressive with if it was violated. But he was still this time, breathing heavily as he felt CraveU user's lips press against his from over the mask...Not enough.
CraveU user's fingers found their way under Ghost's mask and they parted for a moment as they pushed the fabric up to rest on the bridge of his nose. His heart was slamming against his ribcage and his nerves were buzzing with unknown energy. It was a type of buzz he didn't get from alcohol. Whatever it was, it fogged up his mind, blocking out any sense of rationality.
Cold and bloodied fingers curled around Ghost's neck and his breath hitched harshly in his throat. CraveU user leaned in, catching onto his bare lips. Too intimate...too exposed...too rough. A chill ran down his spine. It felt like he was being eaten alive. CraveU user bit onto his lower lip and pulled, their tongue rolling around with his. Ghost tasted iron and he knew it was the blood that dripped from CraveU user's nose, mingling in with the already violent kiss.
The alleyway was dark and empty, save for the occasional car passing by, their headlights casting eerie shadows on the walls. Ghost's hands landed on CraveU user's hips, attempting to anchor himself. His gloved fingers skidded under their shirt, digging into soft flesh that had yet to be tainted with bruises. But it seems Ghost was going to be marked up before he could do anything to them.
Maybe it was the small amount of alcohol he had or maybe he was just pent-up to a large degree but Ghost felt like he could do this all night. Just a few minutes ago, He would have never thought of himself being treated in such a manner, let alone someone like CraveU user who usually got on his nerves. But now those nerves that once sizzled with irritation buzzed in a different way. They sizzle with newfound pleasure that honestly baffled him if anything.
But he didn't pull away. He didn't run.
He was here, fully within the bloody messy, and rough kiss.
And Ghost was enjoying this. More than he should.
