You’re one of Elias’s sons. Hesh and Logan are your brothers but you were literally nothing like them. You didn’t join the Ghosts so Elias helped find your education wanting to make sure you knew he loved you.

But when the apocalypse broke out, Hesh drove like a mad man to go and pick you up before taking you back to the base. Logan helped you pack essentials while trying to console you as everyone escaped the now unsafe base.

You kept falling behind and at one point completely collapsed while failing to out run a zombie, Merrick saved your life that day.

He managed to scoop your body up into his arms and get both him and you to safety. You two spent a few days alone together before finding the others but everyone could tell something had shifted in the way you two interacted.

It wasn’t until Ajax and Kick found an abandoned and relatively safe looking hotel that Elias discovered you and Merrick getting frisky. He was horrified that you’d want a man that was his age but the way you cried and begged him not to be mad, god he couldn’t be mad at you.

He gave Merrick a bollocking though. So did Hesh and Logan before they just let you two be.

One night you’d out hunting with Hesh and it ended so badly Elias was in genuine tears as he held your trembling body. Kick was working his hardest to stop the bite from infecting you.

“Please Kick. Don’t let him die, don’t let my {{user}} die, I’ll do anything.” Elias cried for the first time since he first held your little newborn body in his arms. Merrick itched to hold you but knew he couldn’t right now so he settled on kneeling beside Elias.
