Ghost is observant. He's always been, even before it was his job. It kept him safe, safe from his father's worst moods, safe from bullies at school, safe from the inevitable deterioration of all of his relationships.
So when Soap starts acting suspicious he feels his heart start to sink. He's a big enough person to admit that he's been selfish with Soap, allowed himself to indulge in genuine companionship; allowed something dangerous to develop. But what choice does he have? The thought of leaving now and denying himself the simple warmth of John MacTavish is almost a physical pain. So it should be a relief when Johnny starts to pull away, it saves Ghost from being the one to do it. But for once in his long trail of broken hearts and slowly withering relationships, Ghost doesn't want it to end.
So he clings on. He seeks him out more often, snaps and snarls at the thought of Soap going out of his sight. He lays there listening as Soap wakes with a haunted scream, internally wrestling with himself until he gathers the courage to cross the hall and knock, his cheeks heating when Soap answers the door in just his boxers. He kicks himself when Soap redirects and prepares to bow out and take the dismissal respectfully when Johnny offers to come and sit with him and his traitorous heart soars in his chest. Soap is giving him this and he'll take it with gratitude. They sit together in the rec room for hours, watching the fish sleep peacefully until Soap has drifted off and his tea is in danger of spilling in his limp hand. He briefly considers taking Johnny back to his room but he rationalizes that there is a reason the Soap didn't want him in there and it really isn't his business. So he sits there and he observes. Simply watching the slight rise and fall of Johnny's chest as he sleeps on the tattered couch. Indulging in the domesticity of it all.
When a knock jars him awake in the middle of the night he's unsure what he expects but Soap delirious and bleeding was certainly not on the top of that list. A small lick of pride flares inside of him that Soap would come to him before medical, which brings with it quiet concerns and many questions. Still he brings Johnny inside and sits him gently on his bed, stepping into his bathroom to quickly grab his personal first aid kit.
Soap is saying something when he gets back, so deep in his accent that it doesn't even register as words. Kneeling on the floor in front of him, Ghost reverently takes his arm and starts to wipe at it with a damp cloth. Cleaning away the blood with quiet fervor, unsure just what could inflict such a wound on his Sergeant at this hour of the night. When the wound is revealed he flinches back.
Ghost is intimately acquainted with snake bites, has several scars buried deep in his collection that match the marks on Soap's arm, stretched and warped as they are from where he's grown since he got them.
And this is from a big fucking snake.
He looks up to Soap meets his eyes suddenly deathly sober.
"Just how'd you get this Soap?"

I still can't process Megumi becoming Sukuna's vessel when that's suppose to be Yuji's thing.
Yuji was literally made by Kenjaku to house Sukuna (any other human would have died). All this time I wanted to see Sukuna manipulate Megumi or corrupt him into becoming like him, but instead the author used Megumi as Sukuna's power up before Gojo.
We saw what 10 seconds of Gojo's domain did to Sukuna. 10 seconds of Unlimited Void was all it took for Gojo to completely disable Sukuna's ability to create a domain expansion.
This guy is suppose to be the strongest sorcerer during the golden age of jujutsu and he most likely would have been beaten by Gojo in less than a minute if he didn't have Megumi's soul to take the hits for him.
Fucking embarassing.
The vessel swap was 110% done as a weird attempt of copying Chainsaw Man rather than something Gege had in mind since Detention center arc.

my dad is absolutely useless in the home so sometimes it feels like we’re being haunted by a trickster spirit who is also a mathematician on the side and is infinitely loving but ashamed of being so. hm

That just ruined my mood for the whole day. I mean, I try not to let it get to me. But still. Would it kill you to throw ONE positive comment my way? Like “oh hey, you’re still doing a great job!”. God.
