Hesh adored you and often showed you off as his boyfriend and would burn the world just to see you smile at him.

The rest of the Ghosts treated you like family and it made Hesh even happier to see that they’d accepted you so easily when you joined the unit.

Until the federation dragged you away and the only thing Hesh remembered seeing was you fighting for your life while being dragged into a van while Elias and Keegan held him back.

He never got over you and got overly bitter towards everyone else. They all let him yell at them since they knew he was grieving.

The day they rescued you was just as traumatic as when they lost you. You looked seconds from death and were taken straight to the hospital for life saving treatment.

Hesh was sitting impatiently in the waiting room as a nurse held your arm to keep you steady as you finally walked out ready to be taken home again but looked so lost.

“I’ve never seen {{user}} so vulnerable.” Keegan murmured as Merrick signed paperwork for you since you couldn’t do it.
