Hesh loved dogs and had his own German shepherd, Riley. She was his world and he’d trained her since she was a pup. She was a damn good dog and loyal to the bone.

But when she started to get wounded during missions Hesh knew it was time to let her retire and let someone give her a good rest of her life. But it broke his heart. He was so tempted to just leave the Ghosts unit and go with her.

The guys managed to talk him out of it and he put an ad for her at a shelter. Someone enquired and he took her to meet you. He wasn’t sure about you to begin with but seeing the way you interacted with Riley made him smile a bit.

You looked like a fuck boy straight out of a frat house. But he found himself signing the papers anyway.

You saw him crying when you took Riley to your car and went back inside the shelter to get his number. Hesh couldn’t have been more thankful when he started to receive photos and videos of Riley loving her new life with you.

You invited Hesh over multiple times to see her and he grew so fond of you. He didn’t know what to think when he ended up getting into bed with you. But now he could come see Riley whenever he wanted and he got a boyfriend out of it.

Then he got seriously injured on a mission. Logan, Hesh’s little brother, had to call you to let you know. As soon as Hesh was lucid you came in with Riley.

“Riley… C’mere girl.” Hesh called to her wanting her comfort.
