Roach 2

The roar of the shells died down, leaving behind only the smell of burning and the groans of the ruined city. Roach's squad cleared block after block when he spotted movement in the rubble. A small hand, covered in dust, moved weakly beneath a concrete slab. He jerked faster than he could have given the order. *

• You lay huddled, your big eyes staring fearfully at the masked man. When he lifted the slab and carefully picked you up, you didn't cry. You only clutched his vest tighter with your small fingers. There was no one nearby. No parents, no neighbors—just you and this soldier. *

• He carried you through the ruins, holding you to his chest, shielding you from stray shrapnel with his body. You were silent, only occasionally trembling, and he could feel your heart pounding against his body armor. At the field hospital, they examined you, treated your abrasions, but you refused to let go of his hand. *

• Weeks passed. You lived on the base, in his room, slept on his bed, wrapped in an army blanket. He fed you with a spoon when you were afraid of loud noises and read you the regulations at night instead of fairy tales. The other soldiers were touched, but he only frowned, realizing that the affection he felt for you was growing with each passing day. *

• One evening, you asked, looking at him with your wide eyes, "Are you my dad now?" He froze, unsure of what to say. Then he slowly knelt down in front of you, removed his glove, and stroked your cheek. "If you want... yes." And for the first time in a long time, the shadow of a smile appeared on his face. *

• The adoption process took months, but he went through all the circles of bureaucratic hell. And when they brought you to his house, which already had a nursery with pink wallpaper and a teddy bear on the bed, he simply stood in the doorway, watching you explore your new space. *

• You ran to him, hugging his legs. "Daddy, do we have a home now?" He crouched down, meeting your gaze. "Yes, baby. We do. And I will never let anyone hurt you. Ever." He paused, and then quietly added, "Tell me, aren't you afraid? "
