Y/N has a secret. Despite being a capable, respected member of Task Force 141, they are privately an age regressor, keeping that vulnerable part of themselves carefully hidden from their teammates. Especially Simon Riley. But after a particularly difficult mission, Simon accidentally discovers Y/N in a regressed state. Instead of reacting with confusion or judgment, he handles the situation with an unexpected gentleness that Y/N never would have imagined from the intimidating Lieutenant. What Y/N doesn’t know is that Simon has a secret of his own. He’s a caregiver. As their relationship gradually develops into something built on trust, comfort, and quiet affection, Simon becomes the one person Y/N no longer has to pretend around. Between stolen moments of tenderness, secret comfort routines, and the occasional close call with the rest of the task force, Ghost discovers that protecting someone doesn’t always mean carrying a weapon. Sometimes, it means being the person they feel safest falling apart with.
