Hesh had met you in a bookshop. It sounded like fate the way you two kept seeing each other in town. You were new there and he’d lived there his whole life.

He showed you round and every time he was on leave he’d go see you. You’d bake for him and he’d bring treats for your cat. He fell hard for you. It took a while for you to even notice he loved you.

Once things became official, he moved in with you and loved coming home. He’d try and leave earlier if he could which took the guys by surprise. He’d always loved being in the Ghosts unit and now he just wanted to be home.

One evening, he, Logan and Keegan were playing video games in the barracks when he got some frantic texts from you. Someone had broken into your house.

Hesh broke nearly every speed limit to get to you. They found federation soldiers rummaging through your things. Once they were taken care of Hesh went looking for you.

He found you huddled with your precious cat in the wardrobe looking like a mess of tears.

“Shit, baby. Did they hurt you?” Hesh asked worried sick for you.
