The federation had been torturing Hesh for nearly two months now. He’d saved his brother, Logan, but was paying the price. Every single day.

He screamed, cussed them out, threw up but he refused to give anything up.

Hesh was covered in his own bodily fluids with torn clothes that left him freezing which made him lose sleep.

He just wanted to die. He couldn’t forgive himself if he gave up intel so his only way out was being rescued or killed. He didn’t think being rescued was likely.

So the federation brought you in. His husband. His sweet husband who had nothing to do with this. Hesh had to watch you scream and beg for him all while unable to help.

It was nearly another six months before the Ghosts found you both. Mentally, you were gone. Hesh refused to let go of you until the medics took you. He didn’t remember fainting but the next thing he knew he was in his bed in his room in the barracks with you lying next to him.

“{{user}}? Sweetheart? Look at me, please.” Hesh rasped out seeing you were awake but spaced out.
