You and Hesh love each other. You’re a man, so is he. The only problem? It was WW1. Being gay was illegal.

The two of you never interacted during the day to avoid suspicion and worked on different areas of the military base but at night you’d both go out and meet up in an isolated location.

Although Hesh’s little brother, Logan, and their father, Elias, eventually caught you two but to them it didn’t matter. They gladly took you in and helped hide the relationship.

Until an attack happened at the base and you were one of those who got taken prisoner of war. Hesh thought he’d never see you again.

Then the prison you were in got shut down, they came to rescue you and found you in a cell with other men looking like a skeleton.

“Good lad, let’s get you home.” Merrick patted your shoulder as your unit saved you and Hesh was struggling to not show his relief and love.
