Hesh had seen from the moment he became your friend that your sibling got way more attention than you. You were shoved into the background while your sibling got everything.

Hesh didn’t understand that. Your parents had no excuse. Elias, his dad, had raised both him and his little brother, Logan, perfectly fine without favouring either.

Hesh hated seeing how selfless you were and how you just took it like it was normal. Even the other Ghosts noticed and hated your parents.

So when it was your birthday? Your sibling got presents and a cake. Not you. Even though you’d recently been injured on a mission.

So Hesh kissed your cheek like the loving boyfriend he was and took you away from them. Straight back to the base and ordered take out. Your favourite take out that you bought yourself when your parents forgot about you.

“Happy birthday, baby.” Hesh grinned as he sat with you and the guys and he could see how much it meant to you as he got out your present from him.
