I would love to hear your personal headcanons for leckie and Hoosier!
Smol disclaimer that some of these have been worked on w/ @malarked so I can no longer remember who originally came up with the thing. Also, this is probably a mix of a lot of things, thatās like during the war and like post-war and stuff. Idk, I have written these two with Ed for too long and we have too many AUs and things.
Leckie never learnt how to drive before the war, since he grew up close to New York. He mainly didnāt really need to, but he also never really got the chance to learn. It wasnāt until post-war that he learnt how to, and that was mainly thanks to Hoosier teaching him (and being really patient about it and being so proud of when Leckie got his license. Basically, theyāre cute af)
The first place Leckie drives them to after getting his license is their favourite spot in a forest of some sort, and they sleep in the back of the truck and watch the stars and are just... cute.
Hoosier is 100% the small spoon and Leckie the big spoon, but that might have already been established tbh.
Leckie wears glasses for no other reason than to look smarter, and Hoosier loves to tease him for it, because Leckie is just such a hipster.Ā
Hoosier is a great cook (credit to Ed for that one), and he cooks Leckie meals whenever he has a lot of work, and makes sure he gets his sleep and take breaks and stuff.Ā
They own a bathtub for the sole reason of soaking and washing together after sex, because it gives them an excuse to cuddle and still stay close
They love going on roadtrips together in Hoosierās pickup truck and just stop in shitty motels to sleep, or sleep in the back of the truck if itās warm enough.Ā
Leckieās family doesnāt like Hoosier at all - not only because of the gay thing, but also because they think heās too uneducated - and Leckie gladly cuts all ties with them, because itās not like his parents have ever done much for him.Ā
Basically, get Leckie a better family 20kforever
Seriously, anyone who makes my boy look like this does not deserve him:
Hoosier thinks Leckie looks super hot in his dress blues, so thatās pretty much the only reason Leckie ever wear them.Ā
Hoosier fell in love with Leckie LONG before Leckie realised he wasnāt a Good Straight Boyā¢, and even after he realised he had feelings for Hoosier, he still struggled with them A LOT. Basically, I can talk about this for years, I have so many emotions about Leckieās internal struggle with his sexuality.Ā
Hoosier totally didnāt think Leckie would fall for him, because, look, heās not intellectual or educated or anything, but fuck, does Leckie fall HARD for that blond sweet boy. Yikes, okay, Leckie is so in love, but it takes him SO LONG to admit it.Ā
Basically my boys are sweet and good and OTP and I love them more than air.
Like, yāall, if this isnāt the face of a man madly in love, I DONāT KNOW WHAT IS. LOOK AT THAT FACE. THAT SMILE. THIS IS ALL AT LECKIE.Ā
I need to leave Iām just here with tears in my eyes mumbling about how much they love each other. Pls, I love them and I need to write them more, oh my god.
