me:

in sickness and health - band of brothers

- [ BUCK COMPTON ]

PANICS

this man smothers you with attention

he’s waiting on you hand and foot every single second of the day, and he does not care if he gets sick

he’s literally so sweet, even though he still tries to kiss you

like Buck, no, it’s probably contagious

holds your hand while you wait for the medic

tells the medic all of your symptoms for you while you sleep on his shoulder

he actually learned how to cook just so he could make you some food when you got the flu once

he tells you he needs you to get better so he can take you out on dates and spoil you Buck, we’re in the middle of a war

he acts like he doesn’t spoil you already

- [ CHUCK GRANT ]

will beat your ass if you’re not in bed

don’t even try to resist him taking care of you, he will not be having it

actually super soft as long as you don’t fight him about taking some time off the line

chews people out for being too loud while you’re trying to sleep

brings all of your meals to your room and eats with you, making sure you finish every part of your meal

LOTS OF CUDDLES

he’s quite careful not to get sick though

don’t ever try and deny that you’re sick, seriously

“fine? FINE? baby, i just saw you throw up.”

constantly checks your forehead to make sure you’re not burning up

- [ BILL GUARNERE ]

he has a lot of siblings, he knows what he’s doing

i feel like he’s less aggressive about it than some of the other men, but he’s gonna tell you you’re dumb for getting sick at least 2 times

he genuinely tries to be super sweet when you’re not feeling well, so give him a break

cooks you lots of his mom’s family recipes (how’d he find the ingredients?? we don’t know how, but he did)

you’re gonna eat every meal he makes you or you’re gonna get force-fed

carries you everywhere, even if you don’t ask him to

SO MUCH HAIR STROKING

he loves to pet your head until you fall asleep

expect lots of sleepy cuddles

definitely contracts whatever you had, so expect to get a whiny Bill that wants you to take care of him

- [ BABE HEFFRON ]

PANICS LIKE BUCK BUT EVEN WORSE

constantly has Roe checking on you, making sure that you’re getting better

will indeed rub your back while you throw up, and even hold your hair back if necessary

he’s constantly moping because he wants cuddles and kisses, but he knows he can’t have any until you’re not sick anymore

he’s surprisingly calm on the outside, but on the inside he’s panicking because he’s so worried

brings you tonssss of extra blankets that he collected from the other replacements

this man brings in the whole battalion to help you get better, he’s out here begging everyone for supplies

even though you’re sick, he’s still gonna hold your hand

sorry, but he needs at least a little affection

get ready to be absolutely smothered when you’re no longer sick

- [ JOE LIEBGOTT ]

he’s not as aggressive about it as he would be if you got hurt, but expect lots of teasing

he’s gonna call you a dumbass at least once, okay?

will NOT leave you alone for a single SECOND

he’s worried that you’re gonna start throwing up when he leaves the room and then choke to death on your own vomit

gives you all of his food, even if you don’t want it

don’t try and act like you’re not sick, he will yell at you (he’s not playing around)

gets so frustrated with you when you won’t take your medicine, so he has to have Roe give it to you

he doesn’t like being super soft in front of the guys, but if you have the chills, he will not hesitate to cuddle you

he’ll literally let you get away with ANYTHING if you’re sick

like i’m not even joking, he’d literally let you use his shirt as a tissue if you needed to

- [ CARWOOD LIPTON ]

SO SOFT

yells at the guys to be quiet so that you can get more sleep

if a trooper isn’t whispering while you’re trying to sleep, no one will ever find that man’s body

LOTSSS of forehead kisses

will not let you do anything

not even if you bring up the time that he got a pneumonia (he just glares at you until you yield)

he makes sure that everyone treats you with extra caution, especially if it’s hard for you to walk

he gets soooo worried if you have a coughing fit

he just panics whenever it happens while rubbing your back and offering you water

lets you burrow into his chest while you rest

- [ GEORGE LUZ ]

tries to make jokes so that he can help you feel better

i feel like George has absolutely no idea what the hell he’s doing

asks Roe a million questions about what he should do to help you

if this isn’t your first time being sick around him, then he’s already gonna have a set plan on how to help you get better

steals a lot of extra food for you, especially hershey bars

whines that he doesn’t get any kisses now that you’re sick

he thinks it’s his job to take care of you, so he feels really bad that there’s not much he can do

he does get supplies from replacements, but unlike Babe, he steals them

will kiss you regardless of if you’re contagious or not

now you have to take care of him while he whines and complains about how stuffy his nose is

- [ DONALD MALARKEY ]

so SOFT UGHHHHH

he takes over your duties as well as his own just so that you get enough time to recover

brings lots of blankets, the softest ones he could find in the whole entire town

holds your hand a lotttt

he spoons you (which is rare because Don Malarkey = little spoon) when your sleep schedules match up, and he buries his head between your shoulders

omg if you have something bad like a pneumonia he’s literally so scared that you might die

like you wake up to him sobbing into your back, and when you turn around he just tells you to go back to sleep

but you just pull his face close, and tell him you aren’t going anywhere and that you’ll never leave him

he feels a lot better after that, and he does his best when taking care of you

he’s literally so happy once you’ve fully recovered that he picks you up and twirls you around

- [ JOHNNY MARTIN ]

acts like he’s annoyed that you got sick, but he’s secretly very concerned

he makes some very passive aggressive comments at first, but once he realizes how awful you look, he feels really bad

starts treating you like a princess after that

he keeps you slightly isolated from the rest of the men, as he doesn’t want you to accidentally give them whatever you have

brings you anything you could ever need, you’ll never have to take a step out of bed

checking to make sure your fever is gone

he restrains himself from PDA during this time, so expect absolutely no kisses until you get better

he tells you that it’s your “punishment” for getting sick

if you tell him you’re sore or something aches, expect a massage

give him a kiss for all his efforts afterwards, you’ll see a rare smile cross his face

- [ SKIP MUCK ]

like George, he tells you jokes to help you get better

unlike George, however, he tells you shitty ones so that you’ll get better faster because absolutely no one wants to listen to them

not gonna lie to you, this little bastard is not very helpful

Malarkey and Penkala tell Roe about it once Skip finally realizes how bad your illness is getting

he feels really awful later on because he realizes if he told Eugene sooner then you wouldn’t be lying in bed, coughing your lungs out

spoils you after that because of how bad he feels

he won’t give you his own food, but he will steal extra meals for you

honestly he’s more mad that you’re sick than you are, he wants you to get better IMMEDIATELY

tells you about his day immediately after you’ve woken up from your nap

expect cuddles, kisses, hugs, and other physical affection he should not be giving you while you’re ill

- [ LEWIS NIXON ]

literally offers you alcohol at the beginning of your sickness

the man can’t even take care of himself, how the hell is he gonna take care of you

asks Winters a lot of questions, to the point where it’s basically Richard taking care of you

it’s fine, they come as a pair

lets you sleep in his office while he does whatever he has to do

gives you his most expensive blanket to keep warm

is actually very worried even though he puts on quite the humorous facade

he just wants you to be okay

he eventually calms down though, he knows a virus wont take you away from him

not even a war or an entire ocean could, so what’s the flu gonna do?

- [ FRANK PERCONTE ]

he probably thinks you’re sick because you forgot to brush your teeth ONE TIME after you were drunk

germaphobe to the MAX

sorry, but you’re not gonna see this man until you are in 100% healthy condition

he feels bad about it, but he doesn’t want whatever you have

he doesn’t believe Doc when he says it’s not contagious, which is stupid because Roe is literally a MEDIC-

i’m not even joking, this man will literally have Luz deliver you the hershey bars he wanted to give you

he’s basically quarantined you and there’s nothing you can do about it

everyone’s like: .... bruh... isn’t this a little too far???

but he’s just like: i have no idea what you’re talking about

it’s fine, he makes it up to you by literally smothering you once you’re all better

- [ SHIFTY POWERS ]

KING OF CODDLING

practically waits on you hand and foot for an entire week

blows on your soup to cool it down before feeding it to you

he’s scared you’re gonna burn your tongue, then you’ll be sick AND have a burnt tongue

lets you clutch on to his hand when your chills get worse

probably thinks you’re dying, which just makes him FREAK OUT

brushes your hair off your face when your fever is running high

always has a wet washcloth to place on your forehead

lets you burrow into his coat after your fever goes away

he rests his head on top of yours when you’re bundled up in his coat

- [ EUGENE ROE ]

HOVERS LIKE A GODDAMN MOTHER HEN

constantly taking your temperature, giving you more blankets, feeding you, making sure you stay hydrated, etc.

OH AND YOU BETTER STAY HYDRATED

throws a hissy fit that you got sick because he needs you to take better care of yourself

not extremely touchy because he doesn’t want to catch whatever you have, which is like actually painful for him

constantly giving you tea & other hot beverages to drink

spoon feeds you because he doesn’t want you to lift a single finger

will tie you to the bed to make sure that you rest

don’t test him, he’s serious about your speedy recovery

“mon amour, you need to rest or else i won’t be able to give you kisses”

- [ BULL RANDLEMAN ]

gentle giant

makes sure you’re eating lots of healthy food (or the healthiest you can get) & staying hydrated

does tasks like cleaning your bayonet and your gun so you can go to bed earlier

lots of forehead kisses when you wake up from sick naps

instructs all of the replacements on how to take care of you while he’s away

they’re actually very helpful and you treat them all like your kids

when Bull comes back and sees this, he thinks it’s adorable

but then he realizes that you’re sick and they might catch the same thing you have if they get to close

spends a lot of time shooing people out of your room

rubs your knuckles to lull you to sleep

- [ RONALD SPEIRS ]

oh god, he tries to act like it’s all good but he’s falling apart because you just look so fucking tired

SUPER SOFT with you

carries you to bed, even though you try to tell him you’re fine

steals a tonnnn of supplies for you, especially the finest quality cough drops he could find

whispers to you how much he cares about you when he thinks you’re asleep

spoiler alert: you’re not, but the stuff he says makes you feel so warm and fuzzy inside that you don’t want him to stop

thinks he has a superior immune system and that he won’t get sick, so it doesn’t matter if he kisses you or not

oh and he DEMANDS kisses even though you’re sick, he just can’t live without ‘em

he didn’t get sick, and you’re still bitter about it

he’s so doting, it’s the only time you’ll ever see him this soft

- [ FLOYD TALBERT ]

he’s so smug that you’re sick and he’s not

it’s genuinely annoying, but you get back at him by revoking his kisses because you’re sick

he is super bitter and will not talk to you for the first few days

around the third day, he’ll start to cave in, and he’ll be spending every waking moment at your side

it’s mostly him whining that you won’t give him any smooches, but he’s actually quite helpful when you ask him to get you things

finds only the BEST materials for his baby to get better

he will settle for nothing less

he has Trigger stay with you when he’s gone, just so that he knows you’re safe

when you’re finally better, he will not stop kissing you on the lips

the other men keep telling you two to get a room, but he genuinely does not care... he just tells them they’re all jealous

- [ JOE TOYE ]

the most surprisingly doting out of all the men

constantly asking you “are you okay? can i get you anything?”

will beat up anyone that tries to take your extra food or blankets

very wholesome, spoons you when you sleep

lots of neck and shoulder kisses because he cannot kiss you on the lips

constantly making sure you’re comfortable

not at all opposed to giving you piggyback rides so that you can get to places faster

plus, it’s a good opportunity for him to show off his muscles and strength to you

gives you all of his chocolate

kisses your nose because it’s red

- [ RICHARD WINTERS ]

tucks your blanket around you so that you are all cozy when you sleep

tries to dote on you as much as possible, but it’s very hard with his busy schedule sometimes

also lets you sleep in his office, you just have a big pile of blankets and pillows

no one else comes in there anyways so like... who cares?

does basic things that you don’t feel like doing (ex: brushing your hair) for you

assigns a paratrooper to look over you when he’s gone

it’s usually Tab, but sometimes it’s someone else

the only person he doesn’t assign is Nix, and that’s because Nix is a human train wreck

anyways, he wants lots of snuggles in your pile of blankets

———–

A gesture was all it took.

What happened wasn’t even something intimate; it was more of a touch that was commonly shared by acquaintances or strangers rather than lovers. To briefly put it, that gesture was just you offering him a clementine. He remembers how he was fixed upon the bright orange clementine in your soft hand, ripe and just begging to be peeled and eaten.

A kind, old woman generously handed you plenty back in England and so you thought you’d share. George was the nearest to you and so he was the first one who received the sweet citrus fruit, something he never thought he’d be thankful for.

Passing it along to him, you thought nothing of the interaction as a mere act of kindness. However it felt like so much more. How an act as simple as that made him burst into flames is an enigma. Not to mention how your hand ever so softly brushed against his. The touch lingering mere moments longer after the deed was done and George couldn’t help but feel just a tad disappointed when it finally disappeared.

He didn’t even know if he felt it… But he did, and with that one coincidental incident–he was hooked. A magnetizing presence was what you had, and like a piece of metal, George was instantly drawn to you.

Who wouldn’t?

There was something unique about you, something he had never seen or experienced before. That moment back in England felt so far away but also felt like it just occurred yesterday. The technician thought about you for weeks, the beautiful and more than capable soldier who put up with the company.

(Y/N) (L/N)… (Y/N) (L/N), he kept repeating in his head, your name ingrained in his head and it spilling out of his lips like a mantra. Thoughts about you in his head bouncing around like how a ball would when thrown against a surface.

The young man couldn’t identify how to describe how he felt, what he was experiencing only categorized as a deep and sensual longing. Of course George knew that it was way more than a passing fancy, for it was exponentially deeper. Complicated were the feelings of love, and George was yet another who got caught in the mystery of it.

His heart fluttered whenever his honey brown eyes laid upon yours, that radiant (E/C) hue that seemed to reveal your innermost secrets yet simultaneously concealing them from the outside world. Of course for the past few months of his newfound attraction towards you, he’d dismiss it as nothing serious.

But one cannot plainly deny fate and George soon accepted that fact. Now, he made more of an effort to see you–to interact more with the woman who’d captured his heart. But moments with you were scarce, making it even more a reason to cherish and savor them for as much as he could.

Easy Company had been staying in Normandy, the events of D-Day all too fresh on everyone’s minds. A break was what they needed and the men indulged themselves in the quiet and peaceful moments before they would move out again. They were stationed in a quaint town where they were now resting.

Perconte was showing off the many watches he had snagged from dead soldiers to Blithe, who was only silent and once again zoning out. Banter was frequent and it comforted the both of you, a homey and cozy feeling enveloping your forms. But all good things come to an end and Welsh had told the company that they would be capturing a town called Carentan. Welsh had just informed the men, who were still tired and perhaps a bit sluggish, that General Taylor would be sending the whole division for this.

“Remember boys, maybe three days and three nights of rough fightin’, and you will be relieved!’“ George rang out towards the group. The ebony haired man receiving a few laughs and an especially amused look from 2nd Lieutenant Welsh as well. George cracked a smile of his own as he continued.

“Another thing to remember boys, flies spread disease, so keep yours closed.” Laughs were plentiful then, one soldier even jokingly telling him to shut up.

Then… That’s when he heard it–your laugh. George had never heard anything more beautiful in his entire life, and for once in the war, he felt like he was floating his way to heaven. He never noticed you were so close to him, as he was preoccupied mimicking the  General himself. George let his jaw go slack and gazed at your twinkling eyes, your lips still stretched in a smile. His own orbs never left your form and while his mouth was parted, no words came out.

“Ello, Georgie, you were imitating Taylor a lil while ago, what’cha mimicking now? A rock?” A devilish grin was on your face and George felt himself heat up, a light rouge color dusting his cheeks.

You chuckled as you walked alongside him with the rest of the men. The technician’s eyes only widened for a second before reverting to their normal size. “For your information Corporal (L/N), I was imitating a soldier who was left speechless from looking at a beauty.”

After his remark, it was your turn to flush. Turning your head sideways so as to not let George see your face from picking up any more color. Triumphant and feeling a bit proud in himself for making you react like that, George nudged you and you were met with a smirk. You two stuck by each other’s sides as you and the rest of the company kept on marching to their next destination, butterflies in your stomach the whole journey through.

Happiness was what you felt, and you found yourself experiencing them when you were with George. Silence took over you both, it was comfortable and quiet, even if the rest of the boys weren’t. For George, it wasn’t like him to be silent–little did you know that he was only like that because he was far too afraid to embarrass himself.

Prior confidence be damned, the poor boy was reduced to a puddle when around you, and you could say the same about yourself when you were around him too (you were just a tad bit better at keeping your composure than George).

Deciding to strike up another conversation with him, you looked up at him and your two eyes met for a short time before turning back to face forward again. “You all good, Georgie?”

“I’m good.” Warm hazel eyes glanced at your being next to his, the corners of his lips tugging into another one of his dopey smiles.

The way the sun played upon your hair, the beams reflected on it making it seem like you had a halo, and after taking note of that his smile only grew bigger. “Very good, (Y/N).”

And George knew that no amount of his jokes or imitations could hide the fact that he was head over heels.

————

- [ ALBERT BLITHE ]

timid boy, very sweet

leaves you small treats for your lunch, usually some sort of chocolate or small cake

he never writes you any type of note stating it’s from him, but you know it is

always checks up on you just to make sure you’re doing well

let’s you borrow all of his stuff, even if you didn’t ask

you sit with him in the corner on family holidays, groups of people aren’t his style

you guys spend most of your time together in complete silence, but you guys do talk quite often

falls asleep on the couch a lot, so you can’t really watch TV late at night without waking him up

he bakes a LOT so you’re his test subject

the only thing that sucks is that he’s so shy and non-confrontational that he doesn’t stick up for you

it’s not that he doesn’t want to, he just doesn’t know how to

he comforts you after though

- [ JOHN JANOVEC ]

EWWWW he would be the nastiest brother EVER

you’d actually want to permanently bleach your brain after the things you’ve found while snooping in his room, especially that one time you found pornographic magazines

he’s basically illiterate and has zero brain cells, so your parents pay you to tutor him

sounds great, right? free money? WRONG.

not only does he spend the majority of the time not listening, but he also shoots spit wads at you when you’re trying to explain stuff to him

walks into your room with no warning and has the AUDACITY to not shut the door on his way out

plays pranks on you all the time

he forces you to watch whatever he wants to watch on TV, even though he’s been watching it all day

throws food at you when he’s bored

loses arguments and is pretty easy to beat up, sooo i mean there’s that

if you’re in an argument with him, just unplug the TV

the best part about it is that he’ll never know it was you, he’s too stupid to figure it out

- [ CARWOOD LIPTON ]

wholesome brother but aggressively cares for you

will never admit that he’s sick

he’d literally rather die, you have to practically tie him to his bed and nurse him back to health

gives you this mom look that’s code for “if you do anything stupid while going out with your friends i will track you down and end you” whenever you go out

likes all your significant others until they break your heart.... then he’s gonna hunt them down

actually a pretty good cook, you steal the food he makes all the time

used to read you bedtime stories when you were both just kids

got really excited when your parents told him that he was getting a sibling, he was so excited to have a new friend

you two are super close, you tell each other everything

you two judge all of the shitty officers together *hem hem* dike *hem hem*

everyone swears you have telepathy

a duo that finishes each other’s sentences and says the same thing at the same time

- [ JOHNNY MARTIN ]

the sarcasm this sibling bond radiates-

90% of your relationship is just you two roasting the fuck outta each other

everyone else is like “damn, doesn’t that cut deep and make y’all insecure?” and you’re both like “n o”

is done with your shit

he’s tired of you bothering him, he’s not giving you the remote or the newspaper go away

you two are so petty that it’s not even funny

sometimes he’ll sit in the only bathroom you guys have for like 30 minutes... not because he has to go to the bathroom, but because he knows you do and he’s mad at you

he invented “the look”

you two are banned from arguing at the dinner table, so you both just aggressively fight out your issues with intense staring

it makes everyone else super uncomfortable please stop

you eat all the food in the fridge with his name on it, even if you don’t like it

in conclusion: stop being petty, you’re both adults now

- [ SKIP MUCK ]

either you’re getting abused by skip’s pranks or he’s getting hit with your shoe there’s no in between

this is such a competitive sibling rivalry.... and like, not over anything important like careers or grades

no, it’s a competition of who can piss the other one off more

he laughed at you when you got your first pimple

you told him that you were still better looking than him, so why would he be laughing

slaps the sides of your head REALLY HARD for no reason

you both have at least ONE visible scar from a fight you two had

this bastard used to bite when he wrestled with you, he was a total dick

he’s such a momma’s boy... don’t ever expect your mom to side with you during an argument

always eats off your plate

he says it tastes better knowing that it’s not his

evil little gremlin child, but you both love each other

- [ ALTON MORE ]

devil man

hides the things you own, sometimes even takes them

you’ll never find them again, so don’t even try it

won’t show you the Hitler album because he’s convinced you’ll steal it

you’re convinced it’s not real at this point and that he’s just a big fat liar

will not hesitate to snitch to your parents

probably blackmails you ngl

is always down to talk shit about your other siblings or parents

you two bond over your hatred for your other siblings

sometimes you talk shit about that sibling when they’re in the same room because they pissed you off

y’all both better sleep with one eye open tonight

he’s rude but you love him

- [ SHIFTY POWERS ]

wholesome pure sunshine

takes you out for picnics on sundays

he taught you lots of things, but the biggest one was how to shoot

your skills with a gun practically rival Shifty’s at this point

treats you with respect and *surprisingly* will go off if others don’t do the same

you two split your chores, so you both do them together

it’s more efficient, and it’s good for sibling bonding time

you insist that no one is good enough to date your brother... you are correct

he feels so bad if he accidentally hits you

you insist that it’s fine, but he feels so bad that he follows you around and waits on you hand and foot for a week

he can be a little annoying at times because he always wants to hang out, but he’s so innocent that you can’t help but feel bad for getting angry

in conclusion: love your brother

- [ BULL RANDLEMAN ]

big country boy, you already know he’s teaching you to ride a tractor

he’s a snarky little shit though

blows cigar smoke in your face to get back at you for being annoying

try to steal his favorite chair, i dare you. he will literally sit on you

he’s either in a “i’ll help you hide the body” or a “if you breathe in my direction i’ll literally put you in a headlock” type of brother

he constantly bullies you for being small

you’re literally not even small, he’s just incredibly large???

intimidates people with his height when he finds out that they’re talking shit about you

he doesn’t fight them, he just makes them scared to look in your direction ever again

you make breakfast, but he eats a solid 7/8ths of it

would rather die than share with you

you two just spend most of your time together vibing

- [ HERBERT SOBEL ]

I TAKE IT BACK THIS MOTHER FUCKER IS THE ABSOLUTE WORTH

sibling rivalry but make it LETHAL

there is no sibling love here, you two just absolutely hate each other

you think he’s an asshole he is, he thinks you’re a bitch

most people have daddy or mommy issues, but you have sibling issues

thinks he’s the favorite child even though neither of your parents like him

he’s always in the bathroom, but he has the audacity to come out still looking THAT UGLY-

wakes you up at like 4 am because “iTs gOoD fOr yOU” like N O

snitches to your parents for NO REASON

cries when you slap him

tries to make you share everything, even if you paid for it with you’re own money

comes into your room and acts like he’s the one living in there

- [ SKINNY SISK ]

chill brother

minds his own goddamn business take notes Sobel

he does hit on your friends though

it makes you so uncomfortable, and he did it so often that you just don’t bring them to your house anymore

CEO of rolling his eyes at you when he doesn’t have a comeback during an argument

says sorry for everything, even when it’s not his fault

doesn’t really fight with you, it’s more like you just yelling at him and him just sitting there in silence looking very annoyed

slaps the back of your head whenever you say something stupid

known to accidentally cut himself on something and then bleed all over your nice clothes

you hate to say it, but you’re brother is lowkey a hoe... at least he helps you scout for cute people

he is baby, play with his hair

never talk about the fact that he likes it when people play with his hair

- [ HARRY WELSH ]

a dynamic duo of dumbassery

constantly playing pranks on you

he put hair dye in your shampoo the day before school pictures... you were not happy

you tease him all the time about Kitty, he says you’re just mad because no one loves you

convinced you that you were adopted when you were 7 and that’s why your parents loved you less than him

the scariest thing: both of you being drunk in the same room

it’s genuinely a death wish

you two have so many inside jokes, and none of them make any sense... like even after one of you explains the joke, everyone’s like ??? that’s not funny????

will not hesitate to drop kick you

tries to get you to stop crying because he hit you by letting you hit him back

you slap the shit outta him

also steals your stuff

yeah, i know i said this is a big brother post but it’s MY POST AND I DO WHAT I WANT-

- [ RENÉE LEMAIRE ]

(she gets accents because she’s fancy and it’s what she DESERVES)

angel, sweet angel

gives you so much chocolate for absolutely no reason

*stares and argues in french*

you’re not allowed to be sad while she’s alive sorry it’s illegal

has beaten up a bunch of creepy dudes for you and will do it again

done with your shit, why can’t you just take care of yourself and stay out of trouble

she’s always tired, please make sure she’s taking care of herself

gives you a big hug and kisses your forehead before bed

she’s always worried that your hands might be cold during winter, so she’s constantly rubbing your hands together to help them warm up

tells you all the time how much she appreciates you and how she’s glad you’re her sibling

always lets you cry on her shoulder

sometimes she gets super lonely, so she sneaks into your room and sleeps on the other side of the bed

The wind had picked up a bit as Brad slowed down the motorcycle. Making it a little more chilly. The sun was beginning to set when you two stopped at the roadside coffee-house. Fields upon fields around you. Brad had decided to surprise you with a road trip on his motorcycle. Several stressful weeks at work had taken a toll on your mood and Brad had watched the gradual decline.

Knowing you had a weekend coming up in which you had planned nothing, he took to the internet and rented a small cabin. A four hour drive from where you guys lived. Brad knew how much you relaxed when you sat behind him on his motorcycle. The wind rushing past you as he drove. You loved to lay your head on his back, mindlessly watching as the landscape change with every passing mile.

So here you two were, standing in front of the small coffee-house. As Brad parked his motorbike, you took off your helmet. Leaning against one of the pillars from the building, you watched as he came walking to you. A faint smile on his face. Brad didn’t smile a lot. He expressed his happiness in different ways and you could recognize each of them. Most often, you’d see it in his eyes and his overall relaxed mood. After he came back from Iraq, it took him a while to fully relax again. He didn’t really talk about his deployment all that much. It’s not that he didn’t want to, but you noticed it didn’t lift his mood when he talked about it. You two were content with just not talking about it. If it didn’t make him happy talking about his time in Iraq, why would you? He did sometimes talk about interactions he had with his fellow Marines. Especially the times where Ray, high on ripped-fuel held one of his rants about what caused the war in Iraq.

“Do you know what you are going to order yet?” you heard him ask. You looked up from the menu. He still had that faint smile on his face. It made you smile as well as you nodded your head. “I’ll take that tea infusion with lavender, figure it’ll be a good thing to end the night with” you said. His smile grew bigger, “Good choice, I’m going with a double espresso”, he stated. It was a habit he picked up in the military. Even at night he could drink coffee and still be able to sleep. You could feel his foot rest against yours under the table. “I know you picked up drinking coffee at night in the marines but God, I can’t imagine the taste of coffee at nine in the evening..” you noted, a disgusted look on your face. Brad just shook his head and gave your foot a little kick before resting back in his seat. You rested your head in your hand, eyes set on Brad as he stared back at you. Comfortable in the silence you two were sharing. Your relationship shared many moments of silence. You didn’t mind it at all. Brad could be really talkative sometimes, but sometimes the silence was just as comforting and said just enough. At times, the silence also said a lot, when Brad suddenly fell silent, you knew something was wrong.

The silence was broken by the waitress setting the drinks on the table. You thanked her as you placed your hand around the warm mug. It was a welcome feeling. Your hands had grown quite cold from being outside for hours. The shelter the small coffee-house gave made you feel all warm inside. Your train of thought was interrupted by Brad’s voice, “You look relaxed”, your eyes met his. You were relaxed. In fact, it’s been the most relaxed you have been in weeks. You nodded, “I am”, Brad smiled before taking a sip of his coffee. He was happy you were finally stress-free. He hated seeing you so tensed up. One night, it got to the point where you were so tense, your shoulders hurt from it. Brad massaging them only barely helped. You were so thankful he came up with this trip. “You know, when we were driving down the highway a few hours back, I could almost literally feel the weight lift off my shoulders, as if it was carried away by the wind” you told him. Brad was silent for a moment before he let out a chuckle, setting down his cup, “that was awfully poetic” he laughed. “It’s true though..” you began, taking a sip of your tea, “Thank you for taking me on this trip, Brad” you mumbled, cheeks growing a little red. You felt Brad’s hand briefly on top of yours, giving your hand a small squeeze. He gave you a soft smile before he downed his coffee.

The place was empty except for you and Brad. Okay, it might have been nine in the evening on a not-so-busy road. Plus, Brad didn’t even mind that the place was empty. It gave him more space to stare at you without being looked at himself. The simple act of you bringing the mug to your lips had Brad mesmerized. He found himself leaning back in his seat again, admiring you. The way you seemed to take in and enjoy every sip, the way your eyes closed in relaxation. Damn.. if you’d asked him a few years ago what he would be doing when he got out of the Marine Corps, he certainly wouldn’t have thought analysing his lover’s way of drinking tea would be on the list. He watched as you finished your tea, setting your mug down with a bit of force. The sound echoing through the building. You chuckled “Sorry”. He shook his head, hand reaching in his pocket for his wallet. You made a mental note to pay him back soon.

As you two walked up to the register, you felt Brad’s arm sneak around your waist. You leaned in to him a little bit. Your head resting against his side as you watched Brad pay for your drinks. Your eyes fell on the window, the sky had turned completely dark and you could see the trees moving in the street light. It had gotten even windier, you zipped up your jacket. As Brad had finished paying, he squeezed your waist a bit, signaling that he was ready to leave. You thanked the waitress before the two of you walked out of the door.

It had indeed turned colder during the hour you spent inside. You felt the cold wind rush past you as you two walked towards the motorcycle. You put on your helmet as Brad took a seat on his motorbike, he started it as you took a seat behind him. “There’s this field 10 minutes before we arrive at the cabin” you heard Brad say, it sounded a bit muffled due to the helmet. You nodded “What about it?” you asked, a confused smile on your lips. “You’ll see,” Brad smiled, turning around. You wrapped your arms around him, giving him a tight hug before he sped off. You laid your head against his back again. The street-lights just a little too bright for you to properly watch the landscape behind it. So instead, you closed your eyes, held Brad a little tighter and concentrated on the feeling of holding him close to you.

After about an hour, you felt the motorcycle slow down again. You hadn’t even notice that much time had passed, soon into the journey, you had fallen asleep. As Brad parked the motorcycle, you let out a yawn, stepping off. Blinking a few times, you looked at Brad, who had an amused smile on his face. God, you loved his smile when it appeared. He took your helmet from you and extended out his free hand, you stepped closer to him and took his hand. He began guiding you to the middle of the field, your hand in his, the other hand holding both of your helmets. After a few minutes of walking, you felt him stop. You looked up at him as you felt him loosen his grip on your hand. Then, he suddenly sat down on the grass. You watched with a frown as he looked up to you, his arm reaching out to you, signaling for you to sit down as well. You did, the confused look on your face still present. As soon as you sat down next to Brad, he laid down, eyes meeting yours. Sometimes Brad had these moments that just left you confused at first. You heard from Ray that those weren’t uncommon in Iraq either: one time he had found Brad randomly running down a field, shirtless. So when he laid down just now, you chuckled. But, it didn’t stop you from laying down next to him, turning your head so you could look at him. “Why exactly are we laid down?” you asked, placing your leg over his. Brad said nothing, instead he looked at the sky, his arm finding its way under your head, like a pillow. So you looked up at the sky too and oh my God.. it was gorgeous. Stars filled the sky, giving it a soft glow. This was the first time in your life that you could see the full night sky, uninterrupted by light from the cities you’ve lived in. It had you speechless, eyes stuck on the many little stars.

Brad, on the other hand, was watching you. Now propped up on one elbow. He had seen the way you looked as he talked about how he could see the full night sky in the Iraqi desert. He knew that he had to have you experience it at least once in your life. One night, you two were cuddled up on the balcony as he spoke up, “You know, I do miss the night skies in Iraq, you could see so many stars..” The way you looked up at him when he said that broke his heart. You had never seen such a sky, you’ve lived in the city your entire life. From that moment, he promised himself he would take you stargazing with him.

*stares in portuguese*

he angry rants at you all the time in portuguese and like... FOR WHAT????

but it’s fine tho you can just make jokes to him because he shit himself

watches your mom beat you up for something HE DID

he’s the type of person to ask you to do something he was asked to do

always says “yeah, I’m an only child”

like bitch if you don’t-

even if there’s no one else in the car besides you two, he’s still never letting you ride shotgun

he’s nice to you like MAYBEEE 4 times a year max

and every single time he’s nice (which is obviously rare), you look at him like he’s an imposter

seriously is he ok he’s never like that

the only time you guys vibe is in the car when no one else is watching and you’re blaring music and screaming the lyrics

- [ DOC BRYAN ]

ahh yes, caring but make it AGGRESSIVE

dotes on you hand and foot when you’re sick but does it in like a mean way??? he’s like “omfg imagine getting sick you have such a weak immune system i could NEVER”

doesn’t know how to mind his own business when it comes to your personal life

he heard a rumor about you at school? he’s beating up the person who started the rumor. your s/o cheated on you? where’s his baseball bat cuz he’s going in SWINGING-

he’s acts real tough but he’s just a big softie.... he even makes you got chocolate when you’re cold

don’t get me wrong tho, he’s an ASSHOLE

like some days you’re just feeling down and he doesn’t pick up on it

so he’ll just poke fun at your insecurities and you’ll break down

he always feels bad after and tells you that you can hit him

just bring up that he makes you cry if you want something because then he’ll immediately give it to you

he’s not sharing his food i’m sorry you’re just gonna have to get your own

he always yells at you and accuses you of stuff he can’t find, and then he’ll find it somewhere like 10 minutes later

- [ JAMES CHAFFIN ]

gross... just gross...that’s all i can describe his room as

you don’t borrow stuff from him or even go in his room because it’s just so nasty (like is this a really old sweaty sock or a fermented cum rag....sis we don’t know)

he always loses fights.... i refuse to believe that he’d win a fight with a baddie like you

i feel like this is just an awkward familial relationship because you’re either annoyed with him, embarrassed, or you just wanna fight him

he leaves his stuff EVERYWHERE

i SWEAR this man has literally no idea what drawers are

you probably find shit that you don’t wanna see too because he doesn’t understand cleanliness

you either vibe or you hate each other

there’s no in-between i’m sorry

gets fast food but doesn’t get you any

if you share a bathroom... i’m so sorry

because jesus this man does not know how to aim

- [ JOHN CHRISTESON ]

innocent duo

you guys rewatch the lion king like every week and he always cries when Mufasa dies

finishes the verses when you start singing

takes up the entire couch with his lanky ass and then has the audacity to not make room for you

tried to make you a birthday cake once... it didn’t go well to say the least

yes, he’s wholesome, but he’s also a little shit

if you ask him to do a simple task, he’ll literally just act deaf and like you’re not there

you’re the one helping him with his homework... we love a man that’s absolute trash at math

does girls night with you and actually knows how to properly paint toenails now

original, he wouldn’t be careful enough with the nail brush and the nail polish would go all over your foot

plus, he got it on the floor, which got him an ass beating from your mom

overall, 9/10 hella chill

- [ BRAD COLBERT ]

DID YOU SAY ANOTHER PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE CAREGIVER???

he’s nicer than Doc though and he can read your emotions better

sits on the couch with you when you get dumped or lose a friend... he provides the mandatory ice cream bucket and shoulder to cry on

tries to one-up you all the time

your teachers constantly talk about him to you because he was actually a good student and you have a lot to live up to

you two get along pretty well, he does almost nothing to annoy you

you get on his nerves a lot though, especially if you’re a slob

also don’t take his stuff, that’s a one way ticket to a headlock

ACTUALLY SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND HIM WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT-

organizes your room when he gets bored... you can’t find anything when you come home

constantly complains about being the older sibling and that he’s too old to hang out with you, but still watches Disney movies???

one of the best comforting and caring brothers (don’t let his nickname fool you)

- [ POKE ESPERA ]

will NOT watch Disney movies with you because “that’s some white people bullshit”

protective older brother mode is very much on 24/7

if ray so much as breathes in your direction, it’s on sight for him... you better not get a boyfriend because that man is gonna have a rough time

yet another aggressive caretaker... like yeah, he makes you soup when you’re sick, but he also nags you into the next century

nags you all the time to take better care of yourself... he acts like a 3rd parent sometimes it’s lowkey irritating

he’s always there for you, he knows ALL the drama about your friends and foes

makes you breakfast on saturday mornings while you make him coffee

you guys get along pretty well, you’re pretty much everyone’s sibling goals

however, he oversteps his boundaries sometimes as an older brother and gets a little too controlling, and that’s when you guys fight

he means well, and you know he has your best interests in mind, but he doesn’t understand that you’re not a little kid anymore and that you can take care of yourself

no matter how many times you tell him off, he’ll never listen because you’re both stubborn af

neither of you actually apologize, it’s more like a “hey, do you want to watch this movie with me?” type of apology

- [ NATE FICK ]

Nate is literally the golden child of the family, so you’ve got a lot to live up to

he’s such a cranky bitch if something isn’t going his way at work, school, or in the corps, so expect him to be rude for no reason sometimes

Nate gets screwed over by a lot of girls because he tries to see the good in everyone, so you’re the one that’s gonna have to beat up people in the name of your sibling’s honor

steals all of your pens & mechanical pencils because he always forgets that he already has one (come on we all saw the amount of pens he had in his jacket)

he’s actually very good at teaching, so go to him if you need help with homework

you guys have that relationship where one sibling could just come into the other sibling’s room and sit on their bed for like an hour and the other sibling would just be like “vibes”

does not understand memes, do not trying and explain them to him

actually, just don’t show him them in general he’s not gonna get it (he’s an old man in a young body)

the amount of sarcasm in this relationship THE DINNER TABLE CANNOT HANDLE IT

scolds you a lot or just gives you “the look” whenever you tell him about something you regret doing

he never tells your parents though

he’s pretty chill with you being an affectionate sibling (if you are) BUT NOT IN PUBLIC THAT IS A NO NO

- [ GABE GARZA ]

the amount of times you’ve had to pretend to be his girlfriend by holding his hand in public because some gay man is hitting on him is UNREAL

you tease him about it all the time and he just rolls his eyes

flicks your forehead as a greeting, it is not fun

you guys traded halloween candy all the time as kids, and you still do it now with other food

the type of sibling to lie to you about a board game’s rules just so he can win

he is petty as hell, especially when you’re arguing

i hate to say it, but he can be dumb as hell, so you always win those arguments (which is why he’s petty)

you guys are the stupid & chaotic sibling duo

you two spend most of your time trying to piss the other one off, but somehow you always have each other’s back

he will bully you in public, but no one else is allowed to talk shit about you

eats all your food, so rip your leftovers

- [ WALT HASSER ]

WHOLESOME

wrestles with you regardless of gender... no one is safe from his headlocks

feels really bad if you get hurt when you guys roughhouse.. seriously, the man apologizes every minute and follows you around like a kicked puppy for a week

controls the radio even though he’s in the driver’s seat, so you’ve become immune to annoying country songs and know every word to each Johnny Cash song now

the family dog likes him more I’m sorry

actually isn’t embarrassed to be seen in public with you

he’s the type of brother that would be your bestfriend, whether you like it or not he’s there for you

doesn’t snitch to your parents, especially when he knows it’s something important

he doesn’t really like to share food with you, but he does occasionally

definitely the type of brother to give you the computer early when your mom asks him to

teaches you how to play video games instead of telling you no

actually knows what to get you on your birthday because he pays attention to your interests

- [ MANIMAL JACKS ]

yes, another version of Chaffin

but like, nicer

his room is also just a clusterfuck, so you guys hang out in your room

touches everything you own for no reason, but trust me, you wouldn’t want to do the same

you guys watch South Park together in the mornings in complete silence, and ngl it’s kinda a vibe

rubs your head all the time for absolutely no reason

talks shit about your aunts and uncles with you

hides behind corners to scare you

it’s not funny

fights you for the last sandwich in the fridge

loses because we fight dirty in this house

takes up the entire seat during the road trip, to the point where you’re squashed against the side of the window

- [ JASON LILLEY ]

wholesome but isn’t even aware he’s a wholesome sibling

carries you to your room and tucks you in when he realizes you’ve fallen asleep on the couch studying

99.9% of both of your vocabularies just consist of the word “bruh” & “brah”

greets you with a loud as hell “good morning bitch!” all up in your face

he plays music wayyyy too loud at super inappropriate times

goes through all of your stuff, even when you’re in the room

like he doesn’t run down the hallway back to his own room when he hears your footsteps, he just keeps rummaging

lets you try out new hairstyles on him when he has longer hair

helps you control the younger cousins when you’re both forced to go to a family gathering

you guys are never allowed to sit at the big kid table on thanksgiving because you guys always throw food at each other

every. single. year.

c’mon now grandma worked hard to make that stuffing

- [ PAPPY PATRICK ]

pulls your hair TO THIS DAY

shares his snacks with you while at the movies

always in the bathroom... he leaves shaving cream all over the counter and there’s hair everywhere when he’s done

you two have a look that you give each other that’s just like “fuck this shit i’m out”

rides shotgun and will not let you sit there, even if you call it first

everyone swears you two have telepathy

he has... so many cringeworthy photos of you

but he will not use them because he knows you will murder him

gives you hand-me downs but like in a super weird way

he basically just walks into your room, throws the shirt at your face, and then just leaves

he is the reason for all of your phobias

he will use them against you don’t test him

- [ RAY PERSON ]

oh this fucker... he’s the best but he’s the WORST

he will literally die if you grow taller than him

if you’re taller than him, you call him angry elf man... if you’re not, he’s never gonna let it go

you basically have 2 older brothers because duh Brad

legend has it he hasn’t stopped giving you wet willies to this day

he is so NASTY!!! his room is full of old clothes, rotting food in dirty dishes, cigarettes, empty dip cans, etc.

honestly he acts more like a younger brother than an older brother

helps you study but makes fun of you for not understanding certain concepts

if you need something fixed, just give it to him

no matter how bad you fucked it up, he somehow always manages to fix it

watches weird documentaries with you but mocks the narrators and won’t stop talking during it

wakes you up at 4 am for random fast food adventures

- [ RUDY REYES ]

MAKES YOU SO MUCH TEA WHEN YOU’RE SICK

you’re practically peeing every 3 seconds because of it

forces you to do yoga with him and go on morning runs because he wants you to be healthy and live a long life

hugs you all. the. time.

but you’re used to it at this point and it’s very wholesome

used to throw dirt at you when you were both younger

he still apologizes for it and you milk it to this DAY

very doting!!! not gonna lie, he’s super caring

he’ll bring you water if you ask for it, make you food, bring you more toilet paper, etc.

you are the test subject for all his new recipes and lattes

does face masks with you

if you don’t like coffee... he might want to disown you

- [ Q-TIP STAFFORD ]

you like him but you don’t like him... but you can’t bring yourself to hate him

plays loud 90s rap music at literally 7 am

you’re ready to fight him at that point

pretends to get mad at you because you’re the only one that calls him Evan (it’s his fucking name for christ’s sake-)

you’re mad at him cuz he ate your food??? steal his durag while he’s showering AND HIDE THAT SHIT

you guys are always fighting but make up with no hard feelings

he shoots you in the forehead with nerf guns when you try to study

stays up super late on the phone & you can hear his conversations through the walls

he kills bugs for you which i guess makes up for it

he waves the dead bug in front of your face though

pretty chill ngl, he’s introduced you to some of your favorite songs and franchises

he’s also super supportive, even when your parents aren’t

- [ JAMES TROMBLEY ]

another person you should never go into the room of

whenever he brings over his girlfriends, you always look them dead in the eye and say, “you’re too good for him”

he’s lowkey livid about it but he won’t fight you until your parents go to bed and his girlfriend is gone

literally annihilates you when he slaps you on the back

like you got a handprint and everything

it’s fine though because you do the same to him

if you want him to do something, just tell him mom told him to do it

you’ve done it for years and he’s still never figured it out

calls you dork.... like that’s not even insulting???

people say you look alike sometimes and you’re both like “are you calling me ugly?”

when he’s nice to you, you’re super confused and kinda scared

he literally always ends up having whatever you spent all day looking for and it drives you MAD

- [ EVAN WRIGHT ]

makes you read ALL of his writing

and i mean all, even the p*rn reviews

just give him the validation... his writing is pretty good though

you will never win arguments, especially because he has such a large vocabulary... you’re going to get verbally abused

he is... so scared of you when you’re mad??? even when you’re not mad at him

like he actively avoids you (probably because he doesn’t want to fight with you)

if you see him just minding his own business, not doing anything wrong, there’s only one thing that comes to your mind

hit that bitch

covers the TV box when you try to change the channel

blame him for the dishes... do it

your version of hanging out together is sitting in the same room in complete silence

your mom does NOT understand it but it’s just how you guys are

- [ MIKE WYNN ]

gives you advice all the time, but it’s actually helpful

eats anything and everything and your food is NOT an exception

gets you stuff when you can’t reach it

honestly, when your parents are disappointed in you it hurts, but when he’s disappointed in you??? it hurts more

he’s usually pretty proud of you though

brags about all of your achievements when someone asks about you

he’s like “ya, i have the best sibling... what about it?”

super chill, will literally hang out with you no matter what you want to do

he’s still a dick sometimes though

slaps you upside the head for absolutely no reason & then just acts like he didn’t do it

rude as hell to your friends

bothers you about things you told him you don’t have... like he just doesn’t believe you

YA BITCH I’M COMMITTED!!!! I WASTE MY TIME DOING THINGS NO ONE WANTS TO READ INSTEAD OF FINISHING REQUESTS.... AND WHAT ABOUT IT??? just joking, i hope you actually like this tho because I’m lowkey proud of it 🥺👉👈

Band of Brothers : Favourite scenes per episode ~ Carentan 

Buck Compton

reckless dumbass big brother

is the entire reason you both got in trouble as kids

all he ever did was prank you when you were younger, but somehow you forgave him after every single time???

he has a scar right before his hairline with a story behind it. when you two were younger, you both decided that racing down a hill in a wooden wagon would be a good idea... needless to say, it didn’t work out too well for him. he cried the whole time he got stitches, so you held his hand so he’d be less scared.

you guys joke about hating each other all the time

but let it be known, if anyone else makes a cheap shot about the other to your faces, they better hide their face till the rest of their life

you guys don’t fight very often, but when you do.... holy shit

both you and Buck are very stubborn, so these fights can last up to WEEKS

you both make up in the end (partially because of your parents), but like all siblings, you both bring up how the other has wronged you all the time

always wants you to make food for him

bothers you all the time for no reason

you still love your big bro tho

Chuck Grant

oh dear oh no... chaos awakens

slaps you upside the head whenever you say something stupid

he’s that type of brother that everyone would expect to be super nice to you because he’s pretty chill, but NOPE

calls you snitch and gives you the middle finger when you tell your mom that he hit you

don’t go in his room... just don’t

Bill Guarnere

oh boy

you guys have... so many siblings

he’s lowkey jealous because he’s the second youngest (you’re the youngest) and he wants more attention

of course, he gets attention, but he’s such a baby

barges into your room for no reason (constantly scream-ranting about stuff when he comes in too)

tries to help you with your homework (key word: tries)

if you look at LITERALLY ANYTHING for more than three seconds while you both are out shopping, he’ll buy it for you

hates anyone you’ve ever dated... he always aggressively crosses his arms and glares at them when they come over for dinner

teaches you to make a bunch of your mom’s traditional dishes

eats all of your leftovers (often gets beaten with your hairbrush by you because of it)

gives you affectionate nicknames like “ugly”, “dumbass”, “stupid”, etc.

always is like “come here” and then just fuckin slaps you for no reason

never says sorry but he buys you food as a silent apology so take what you can get

eats off your plate but won’t let you do it back

sometimes he just comes into your room and picks up stuff because he wants to hang out with you but he doesn’t know how to say that he wants to hang out

——————————————

You sighed in relief, letting your head fall back gently onto the couch’s armrest. What a beautiful ending to a wonderful novel that you only skimmed through. One of the best ways to spend your limited days off was to do absolutely nothing. Not a single productive thing that would mildly benefit you in any way, shape, or form. You glanced over at the grande clock across the room in an attempt to check the time, only to feel a blossoming pit of dread in your stomach. Oh shit. It was already 12:35 am, and you had work tomorrow.

Haphazardly tossing your book across the couch, you quickly rose to your feet; briskly walking through each hallway until you reached the stairs. Climbing them quickly, you stopped as you reached the old, mangled door of the linen closet. You opened it with a loud creak, hoping that your favorite fluffy blue towel was not in the laundry load Tim had promptly throw-in before leaving for work. To your delight, it was sitting on the top shelf. Tim must have washed it earlier for you, and you made a mental note to thank him later.

Recently, Tim had been working more hours. You never blamed him, he was always needed at his job and it paid well. It’s not like he could just refuse to come in. Besides, Tim always treated you well. And yes, he was not the picture-perfect guy and definitely not someone you’d dreamed of bringing home to your momma. But, just like everyone (including Tim), life was not perfect. You missed him, but you knew his job was stressful and he didn’t need any distractions, as he already had enough to deal with. Instead of the usual late-night talks and half-watched TV shows, you were stuck with writing him paragraphs before falling asleep and a cold, empty bed to wake up to.

You’d be lying if you said that it didn’t get to you, but you knew you weren’t the only one. In the fleeting moments that you had seen Tim, he held you as close as possible and was intensely affectionate. It was something that could be considered quite out of character for him to others, but you knew him like the back of your hand. And, knowing him, if he was acting like that all the time with you, it meant that he was less than pleasurable to be around at work. It not only was a sign that his superiors were overworking him and he was frustrated, but that he had missed you just as much as you missed him.

You gripped the towel tightly to your chest, marching over to the small bathroom tucked away in the corner. Showers were relaxing, at least that’s what people told you. Besides, you knew you needed a shower before work tomorrow, and you were hoping to get in some extra sleep tonight.

Stepping into the bathroom, you shut the door behind you. You quickly stripped down before entering the shower, allowing the hot water to cascade down your tense shoulders. You closed your eyes, sighing in content. All the tension and stress began to drain from your body, your shoulders sagging in relief under the constant stream. You reached for the shampoo, only to stop as you heard the familiar click of the bathroom door opening.

Oh, hell no. That better be Tim, you thought fearfully to yourself. If that was not Tim, you were totally fucked. For all you know, you could be the next recreation of the bathroom scene from Psycho. You could practically see the headline now, “Serial Killer Known for Their Recreation of Horror Movie Scenes has Struck Again! This Time, [y/n] [y/l/n] Fell Victim!”

“Babe?”

You practically cried in relief, it was Tim. Fortunately enough for you, you were not about to become some psycho cannibal’s next meal. You peeked your head out of the curtain, the fog hazing your vision for a brief moment.

“Tim?”

You watched as his familiar face broke out into a secret grin, the type of smile reserved only for you. He looked exhausted. His dark circles created from fatigue shadowed his eyes, causing them to become obscured. His normal yellow undertone was replaced by a light gray, casting a sickly glow over his face.

You opened the shower curtain wider, beckoning for him to enter. He scrambled at the invitation, roughly flinging his clothes in every direction. You shut the curtain, waiting patiently for him. The sound of the shower curtain rustling rang through your ears, but you paid him no mind, enjoying the warm jet of water that showered down upon you. You hummed mindlessly, drifting away in a sea of your own thoughts

This didn’t last long, as you felt Tim gently move your hair to the side, pressing light, fluttering kisses up your neck. Lightly grabbing the back of his neck, you let yourself lean into him and his kisses. You let out a sigh of content before softly asking, “Would you like me to wash your hair?”

His reply was murmured into your neck, but you recognized a yes when you heard one. Reaching over for the shampoo, you squeezed out a quarter-sized amount onto your palm. Rubbing your hands together, you lathered the shampoo. “Mind leaning down just a bit?” you giggled, balancing on your tippy-toes to see the top of his head.

You tenderly washed his cropped hair, feeling it gingerly tickle your fingertips. You continued until you felt that you had thoroughly washed it. Grabbing the showerhead, you blocked his eyes with one hand.

“Just in case the water moves down...” you muttered. He smirked, shaking his head as you began to rinse off the shampoo. As soon as you were done, Tim offered to return the favor. His calloused hands were surprisingly pleasant, the rough, textured skin giving you a light massage.

You both continued to wash each other, and Tim’s exhaustion seemed to fade as time went on. He even seemed to lighten up, as he had teasingly pressed a soft kiss to the inside of your thigh while washing your body. When you both exited the shower, you thanked him for washing your towel.

He just looked at you oddly, raising his eyebrow. “Really?” he scoffed, tilting his head.

“What?”

“That’s how easy it is to please you? Good grief, I thought you didn’t have standards when you started dating me, but. this really just takes the cake.”

You just gaped in a fake offense, slapping his arm in retaliation. He just laughed, pulling you by the hand to your shared room. After dressing, you both layed down on the bed, exhaustion overcoming both of you. You both faced each other, and he was slowly caressing his larger thumb over your hand.

He stopped for a moment, staring into your eyes. “Thanks” he whispered, swallowing his next words. You just nodded in response, snuggling closer to him. Robert Timothy Bryan was a man of few words, and sometimes, things were better left unsaid.

I just realized that this is technically a request from @blathena...

Well, I hope you enjoy it regardless and I’m sorry it took so long 💕 You’re totally right though, he deserves more love.
