Pairing: Hawkeye/BJ
Rating: R
Summary: BJ is broken and Hawkeye has to pick up the pieces.
Hawkeye walked out of the OR. He plopped down on the bench. BJ came out and sat down next to him.
“10 hours,” Hawkeye said tiredly.
“I need a drink,” BJ said.
“I second that.” They looked up to Colonel Potter pulling off his mask. BJ stood up and started to pull off his scrubs. Hawkeye followed suit.
Hawkeye rubbed his eyes as they walked back to the Swamp. It was still dark outside but it was morning. BJ went in first and grabbed his robe and shower kit. Hawkeye dropped onto his cot.
“I’m going to take a shower.” Hawkeye made a sound and waved him off. BJ left the Swamp. Hawkeye inhaled deeply and smiled as he went to sleep with the smell of BJ still lingering on his cot.
BJ opened the door to the showers. It was empty. He stripped and turned on the water. He let it run over his body before he grabbed the bar of soap. He washed thoroughly trying to get the smell of blood off of him.
He grabbed his kit and pulled out the shaving cream and razor. He lathered and spread it on his face. He shaved and rinsed his face off. He stepped out of the stall and tied his robe on.
He walked back to the Swamp slowly thinking. What was wrong with him? What did he do wrong? BJ shook his head and pushed the Swamp door open. He went in to find Hawkeye asleep. He smiled when he saw him.
BJ pulled on his boxers and shirt. He looked in the small mirror and rubbed his face. He had the mustache for awhile so it was awkward to be with out it. He sighed and lay down on his cot. He closed his eyes and tired to catch whatever amount of sleep he could.
Hawkeye woke up to find BJ’s cot empty. He looked over at Charles who had on his eye mask and was snoring lightly. Hawkeye grabbed his robe and towel and went to have a quick shower before he went looking for BJ.
Hawkeye felt better after his shower and he walked to Post-Op. He opened the door to see BJ sitting next to a patient checking his vitals. Hawkeye’s eyes widened. He walked over to BJ.
“Excuse me sir. I’m looking for my best friend.” BJ turned around and smiled.
“Really, what does he look like?”
“He looks like you but there is this hairy caterpillar occupying his upper lip.”
“What you don’t like it?”
“Yes I do. Just a little surprised that’s all.”
“Thought I could use a change,” BJ said with a sad smile. Hawkeye nodded.
“Well I like it. You want to get breakfast?”
“Just give me a second Hawk.” BJ wrote something on the chart and hung it back up on the bed.
“I’m all done.”
BJ and Hawkeye walked side by side to the mess tent. Hawkeye snuck glances at BJ. He was still beaten down. Hawkeye knew that BJ hid it well but he would never hide it from him.
