product: stuck close.

i really have to stop changing the layout on every post ... i swear i'll keep this one, i'm sorry
anyway, a very short drabble to help my boredom. based on this prompt:
the sounds of footsteps rang within the halls, both you and ghost in uniforms that weren't yours. "no chance in hell this'll work," ghost mumbles, staying close behind you. the light chatter of nearby guards echoing, "trust me—" left, right, left, right. double checking the hallway, "—we're almost in."
both of you were on a mission: infiltrate the enemy base undetected, get as much information as possible, and leave. it seemed simple, easier plan than many you've been on. although incredibly risky. it was easy to be spotted whenever hiding in plain sight. especially while wearing stolen uniforms.
"how am i supposed to trust a bloody thing that comes out of your mouth?" barking back, his gaze sharpens whenever you make eye contact. turning around, pausing your steps as you stood behind a corner. "why shouldn't you? i find myself the most trustworthy."
"you put milk in my tea."
"that was an accident."
"it still counts."
rolling your eyes, you turn on your heel and continue walking once more. down many halls, too many to count as you stayed on high alert.
right, left, right, left— your arm is yanked as you hear a distant yell in a foreign language. they had spotted you.
ghost drags you by the arm, sprinting down the halls as you both try outrunning the enemies. finally catching your legs, you run beside him. a glance over your shoulder, you see a group of armed guards following.
bang, bang, bang. gunshots fired.
ducking your head, with ghost's hand still around your wrist, you make a left turn down another hall. a right turn. one more right. you had to find somewhere to hide, quickly.
you spot a nearby locker. empty and open. using your other hand to grab ghost by the shoulder, without a second thought, you pushed both of you inside as the door shut behind you.
the pacing steps of the guards ran past, continously shouting in their native tongue. the front of your body pressed tightly against his with little to no room to move. silence overtook the atmosphere, the two of you closely listening for anyone else. it didn't sound like anyone was near.
neither of you could directly look at each other. you knew if he could, he'd be staring daggers at you. another moment or two passes.
"is now a bad time to tell you i'm claustrophobic?" you choke out.
the lutienents hand reaches out to the metal of the door. no budge, it was locked.
a sigh escapes from ghost's lips while he pushes his body against the wall of the locker as far as possible.
