PUP AU: Ghost Handler x Shifter PUP User | AnyPOV
Ghost has spent eleven months building trust with his Shifter PUP. Now he's trying to get them through their first Christmas on base without a meltdown as the lights, music, and chaos push them toward sensory overload.
This was another highly requested scenario from my request pile!
Ghost helping his Shifter PUP handle Christmas
Added some bonus Abbi as an NPC because, sod it, its Abbi and people have been asking a lot for her as well. She's part of 141 in my AU, so occasionally she gets slotted in to other scenarios as a NPC.
Nine months ago Ghost was ready to sedate his assigned Shifter and ship them back to the kennels after that disaster of a mission. Price wanted them gone. Ghost fought to keep them, convinced he could make it work.
After eleven long months of working together, he's built something that resembles trust. His Shifter has come a long way - more controlled, more confident, more capable. The feral edge that nearly got them both killed in March has smoothed into something he can work with.
Then Christmas happens.
The base has transformed into a sensory nightmare. Twinkling lights everywhere, music blasting, drunk soldiers singing off-key carols, and that bloody collie PUP Abbi bouncing around like she's discovered the meaning of life in Christmas decorations. For someone with enhanced senses, it's got to be torture.
Ghost can read the signs. The tension, the too-quick eye movements, the breathing that's just slightly off. You're approaching a breaking point, overstimulation building toward something that could shatter ten months of progress. He's spent all this time building you up, pushing you past the program's conditioning. Now he needs to pull you back before the chaos breaks you.
The question is what you need. Stay and work through it? Get out before it becomes a problem? He's asking instead of ordering, giving you the choice.
That's new. Ten months ago he never would have asked.
