Pairing: Hawkeye/BJ
Rating: R
Summary: BJ is broken and Hawkeye has to pick up the pieces.
BJ and Hawkeye sat in the Swamp playing chess. “Check,” said Hawkeye proudly. BJ stroked his mustache in concentration. Hawkeye looked at it in disgust.
“When are you going to get rid of that thing?”
“What thing?” BJ asked as he feigned ignorance.
“That hairy thing on your lip,” Hawkeye said reaching over and tugging on it. BJ slapped his hand away.
“I’ll keep it as long as I want.” Hawkeye threw his hands up in the air. BJ smiled at him.
“Could you cretins be quiet?”
“Charles is awake,” BJ said.
“Well isn’t that great,” Hawkeye added.
“You two are annoying. Can’t you let me sleep?”
“You know Charles your arrogance is going to be your down fall,” Hawkeye said.
“And it is going to make a very big hole.” Charles sat up and glared at them. He got out of bed and left the Swamp with his showering items. Both Hawkeye and BJ watched him leave.
“BJ.”
“Yeah Hawk.” Hawkeye just grinned and this made BJ grin.
They both got up and practically ran from the Swamp. They jogged all the way to the showers. BJ took a peek in. He saw Charles whistling Mozart and shampooing what was left of his hair. His eyes were closed. BJ slipped his hand in and grabbed his towel and robe off the hook.
He closed the door quietly. He showed Hawkeye the towel and robe. They walked leisurely back to the Swamp. BJ put the robe and towel on Charles’s cot.
“Want to go to breakfast?” Hawkeye asked.
“I do feel it is a good day for food poisoning,” BJ joked.
They both walked to the Mess Tent, when they heard a scream. “PIERCE!” They watched as Charles ran as fast as he could with his hands covering himself. Hawkeye couldn’t stop laughing and BJ was laughing so hard that he was crying. He leaned against Hawkeye so he didn’t fall over. The whole camp was laughing, whistling, and clapping.
Charles came back out with his robe on. He walked up to the two. “You two are worse than cretins.” Hawkeye looked at BJ.
“What’s worse than cretins?”
“I don’t know. Maybe Charles” Charles huffed angrily.
“I will get you two. Mark my words.”
“Remember BJ to mark his words.”
“I’ll put it on my calendar.” Charles turned around and stalked off.
Hawkeye looked at BJ. “We need to remember not to let Charles run around naked anymore.” BJ smiled
“Note taken.” Hawkeye loved to see him smile. He looked into his eye and noticed that they were still lacking some of their normal glitter.
BJ opened the Mess Tent doors. Hawkeye walked beside him. They grabbed a tray. “You would think they would at least give us something close to edible,” Hawkeye said as he looked at the food that was being slopped onto his tray.
They sat down at a table. Hawkeye looked at the gray looking slosh on the tray. BJ poked his fork at a hard brown lump that resembled sausage.
“BJ I think this stuff just moved.” BJ looked over at Hawkeye’s tray.
“I would call you crazy but it’s possible.” Hawkeye pushed the tray away and looked at his cup of coffee. He peered at the black sludge in the cup. He took the sugar and started to pour it into the coffee.
“Do you have any plans today?” BJ asked.
“I don’t think so. There haven’t been any new nurses. What about you?”
“I’m going to wait for the mail.”
Radar came through the Mess Tent doors with the mail sack. “Sirs.” They turned around.
“It’s our long lost son,” Hawkeye exclaimed.
“Who’s the mother?” BJ asked.
“I don’t know but I always thought you would look good in an apron.”
“Hawkeye I have your magazines.” Hawkeye took them and looked at them. BJ leaned over to have a look.
“Are those the special issues?” Hawkeye nodded his head.
“Yes and look at those legs.” Radar blushed at his words.
“BJ you have a letter.” Hawkeye watched as BJ’s eyes lit up when he got the letter. He was glad to see some life back in his eyes.
“You know how to make your parents happy,” Hawkeye joked as he pinched Radar’s cheeks.
“Hawk!” Radar quickly pulled away and stomped off and Hawkeye laughed.
