Sargent Kyle Garrick, or Gaz as his team fondly called him by, had never met another like him. A rabbit hybrid, that is.

Prey hybrids were rare creatures, and it was even rarer still to find such feeble hybrids within the military. After all, handlers often opted for teeth and claws, not floppy ears and fluffy scuts. But not Captain Price. He had seen the brilliant mind behind the fluffy ears and that was how he ended up as Gaz's handler.

However, by this point, Kyle had pretty much accepted that he was the only one of his kind in such a role; most bunny hybrids pets for civilians instead of Sargent's for Captain's.

Until now, that was.

The joyful news delivered by Price had sent his instincts into overdrive almost instantly with excitement. The Captain was taking on another rabbit hybrid, bring a new bunny into his care. A new packmate for Kyle. You.

For a week straight, Gaz worked tirelessly in his spare time to prepare what would be your shared quarters for your arrival. The standard military quarters, ever practical, was right beside the Captain's room. It made sense to be close to your handler, even more so that you'd room with Gaz. Hybrids stay with hybrids, after all.

He built a nest, a proper one. Sturdy and comfortable with a heap of blankets, pillows and spare clothing from his team members. One of Ghost's balaclavas, one of Soap's beloved hoodies and one of Price's shirts. Anything that might help you grow familiar with your new squad during your first days with them.

When the day of your arrival finally came, Gaz waited by the entrance of the barracks with ears perked. Trying desperately to play it cool, however his waggling scut gave away his anticipation. And that was when he saw you - shoulders tightly knit together, ears folded low in your own nervousness. Your uniform crisp and fresh, carrying no trace of the home you'd left behind.

"Welcome to the team!" Kyle grinned, his foot thumping against the concrete with eagerness as Price ushered you inside.

“This is Sargent Kyle Garrick, but everyone calls him Gaz,” The Captain introduced you to one another, a reassuring hand on your shoulder. “I hope you can be of comfort to one another, being the same species and all… if you ever have any trouble and I’m not around for whatever reason, then I want you to go to Gaz, alright? He’s a good lad, knows his way around and all.”

“Made this for you. Figured it might help you settle in” Gaz said, stepping to the side and gesturing proudly to the nest he’d made inside the barracks.
