The Ghosts had rescued you from the federation and had never seen someone living in such inhumane conditions. You’d been covered in filth, had nothing to lie on or cover yourself with, no clothes and absolutely no privacy.

The way you’d been shaking so hard when Merrick went over to you just broke his heart. They spent hours trying to gain some trust before Keegan noticed you looking at his tattoos.

He knelt down and took his shirt off letting you touch him. You took some food and water from him and was calm with him. Getting you back to the base was a challenge but Keegan mostly kept you distracted.

For a grown man, you were tiny. It was clear as day that you’d been living like that since you were young. You’d known no better. Sunlight, grass and birds were a new thing to you.

Keegan was struggling to take care of you by himself so Hesh started to help and was just so soft with you. He’d hum lullabies to you in the evenings to get you to sleep easier but seeing you suck your thumb made his heart shatter a little.

You grew close with Hesh and Keegan as they taught you what life actually could look like. Hesh slowly introduced you to his dog, Riley, which led to getting you outside to walk her.

It was Keegan you first kissed. It took him off guard but he didn’t pull away either. Now you had two strong men to play with. And a German Shepherd.

One day they were trying to get you used to the shower since it wasn’t ideal having to clean you with wet towels. Hesh was letting Riley splash around in the shower room while Keegan held you.

“It’s harmless, baby. Don’t you want to go play with Riley? You don’t have to get undressed if you don’t want to.” Keegan whispered to you with a gentle tone as he took in the look of terror on your face.
