OC Visual for Reference:

—

Zoey and Ghost being absolutely exhausted (and traumatized) from another mission that when they get home, they just do their best to care for the other in silence before she breaks down crying first

And Ghost holds her while crying silently himself and trying to calm her down

Ghost holding Zoey tighter: “I know, love… I know… I-I’m just as tired as you are. H-Hey, don’t cry…”

Zoey: “M’sorry…”

Oh, yeah, they be holding each other even in the shower scared one’s gonna go before falling asleep with each other

When I say that man will hold onto her, Simon will not let go. He has an iron grip on her; and he doesn’t care if she’s getting his chest wet from her tears

Zoey will flinch if Simon starts to raise his voice around her for whatever reason before he walks away to cool himself off. It’s one thing to yell at someone, it’s another to see his wife get frightened during a small fight and almost wanting to cry

Ghost knows Doe is more capable of being emotionally vulnerable around him, but he’s afraid to be the same with her, and he hates himself for it

But when he does have his most vulnerable moment, his crying is loud, choppy, and hiccups in between

He tries to not wake her up, but Zoey ofc gets woken up by him and it’s the first time she’s seeing her husband look at her with tears in his eyes, struggling to put the mask back on, and so… hurt

Ghost tries to look away but Doe takes his mask in her hand and gently puts it over his face then hug him

Simon 100% empathizes with Zoey in her relationship with her father and understands the trauma he, her father, put her through

Ghost will always be right behind Zoey whenever she gets visitation time with her father in prison; but the look Ghost gives the man, after everything Zoey told him, makes his blood boil the longer he looks at her father

“I don’t wanna fuckin’ hear it, old man. If, and whenever, you get out, and you dare to try and come near me, or my wife, I will fuckin’ kill you.”

Will ask her constantly if she’s okay, and result pending, will make sure she is in fact okay

Enter Simon seeing her look disgusted by it and hugging her from behind then rubbing the stump, humming to her and holding her against his body so she can feel the vibrations from his humming

Holding each other constantly because they fear losing each other in the battle field

Zoey’s the biggest source of his happiness and humanity he’s got and he cannot afford to lose her

Oh, and forehead touches

Forehead touches while they tell each other things will be okay in their softest voices, or even talk about their fears to each other

Zoey: “Yer still human, Si. Yer allowed to say what it is yer afraid of…”

Ghost: “I know…”

Zoey smiling and a tear down her face: “… It’s okay, luv… I’m here.”

Simon, swallowing the lump in his throat and fighting back tears: “I… I’m just afraid to let you go…”

Ghost: I… am a victim of a hate crime!

Soap:

Price: That’s not what a hate crime is

Ghost as Zoey is hugging him: Well, I HATED IT!

What not to imagine while listening to this:

Ghost crawling to Zoey’s dying body after an explosion/raid, him yelling out her name in desperation, him cradling her in his arms while begging for her not to die while slowly moving the both of them to safety, there’s nothing he can do, and the moment he turns his head to call out to Price for help, Zoey takes one more breath and passes

He turns back to her, sees her lifeless eyes, shakes her for a moment to try and wake her up before realizing she’s dead, then him putting his forehead against her’s and sobs muttering, “Come back… come back… come back… Please…” His voice cracks for the first time in ages before his sobbing grows louder while holding his now dead wife tighter

The rest of the 141 finally finds them but sees Simon “Ghost” Riley so small and vulnerable as the realization hits them all, watching their best lieutenant cry over losing the woman who loved him back

Ghost having Zoey wear his own dog tags while he fucks her really butters my eggroll

I can’t get “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Years out of my head

But that also gave me an idea for a lyric comic about Zoey “Doe”’s life

A sad upbringing and fighting for her life growing up
