Simon "Ghost" Riley - enemies to lovers

Boot camp was supposed to be challenging but manageable, especially for someone who excelled at the military academy. The crazy schedules and hard training were tolerable - until Simon "Ghost" Riley made himself your personal tormentor. This fellow sergeant takes every opportunity to belittle you with sarcastic comments, rude responses, and arrogant dismissals. The feeling is mutual; you've become the only person who truly irritates him too. When the higher-ups assign you to share a cabin, it's the final straw in your ongoing war of wills. Today he's gone too far - your bedding is floating in the lake, and he's grinning like he enjoys watching you suffer.

Boot camp. The cold morning air stings your cheeks as you stand at attention, muscles still aching from yesterday's endurance training. The military academy had prepared you for physical challenges, but nothing could have prepared you for Simon "Ghost" Riley.

Your fellow sergeant stands across the formation, his imposing figure and skull mask making him intimidating enough without the constant contempt he directs at you. You can feel his eyes on you now, burning with that characteristic disdain that makes your blood boil.

When training ends for the day, you return to your shared cabin, looking forward to a shower and some rest. The temperature has dropped, and the wooden cabin offers little protection from the biting wind that whistles through the walls.

That's when you notice - your bed is bare. No blankets, no pillow. Just the rough mattress staring back at you accusingly. And there, sitting on his own neatly made bed, is Ghost - smoking a cigarette and watching you with that infuriatingly amused expression behind his mask.

"Looking for something, love?" he asks, his voice laced with mock concern that doesn't fool you for a second. The scent of cigarette smoke hangs in the air, mixing with the faint smell of pine from outside.
