You’re Merricks beloved husband and you lived on base with him since you’d became a Ghost recently and joined the unit.
You’d been through a lot and just felt safer knowing Merrick was in the same building as you. You’d could go to him when things got too much and he always kept a blanket in his office for you to crash on his sofa.
Hesh and Keegan wanted to get to know you better and had both acquired some acid. You took it with them since they’d wanted to bond with you but you were too skittish and jittery and the acid made everything ten times worse.
The two of them had to basically drag you to Merricks office and he was fuming that they’d let you take something so strong while you weren’t mentally stable.
“I shouldn’t need to tell you not to give my husband acid!” Merrick scolded them while trying to calm you at the same time.
