Pairing: Hawkeye/BJ
Rating: R
Summary: BJ is broken and Hawkeye has to pick up the pieces.
BJ nearly jumped when he heard the door of the tent open. Father Mulcahy looked surprised to see BJ on his cot.
“BJ, what happened?” Mulcahy asked looking at BJ’s bandaged arm.
“It was an accident. I messed up.” Father Mulcahy pulled his chair by the bed and sat down.
“What happened, BJ?”
“I think I ruined my friendship with Hawkeye.”
“Are you sure? We are talking about Hawkeye.”
“I’m not sure but I screwed up.”
“If you’re not sure then maybe you should talk to Hawkeye. Hawkeye is never one to stay mad or upset long. Well knowing Hawkeye he probably thinks he did something wrong.” BJ looked away. He never considered that Hawkeye could be beating himself up for his mistake.
“I’ll go get Hawkeye for you. You two should talk this out. I have to go see Colonel Potter anyway,” Father Mulcahy said.
BJ nodded his head and watched the Father leave. BJ sat there thinking about the mess he made.
Hawkeye sat in the Swamp waiting for BJ to come back. Hawkeye really didn’t think he would want to. He felt like an idiot and jerk. He heard the door open. He looked up hoping it was BJ but Father Mulcahy came in.
“BJ is my tent. Go talk to him. He’s very upset.” Hawkeye shot off of his cot.
“Thank you Father,” he said as he darted past Mulcahy and out of tent.
Hawkeye ran all the way to the Father’s tent. He opened the door and stepped into the tent. BJ looked up at him.
“Hawkeye I’m really sorry about…,” BJ started to say but Hawkeye silenced him by kissing him. BJ was pleasantly surprised and soon kissed back. Hawkeye broke the kiss.
“I’m sorry Beej. You caught me off guard in the Swamp. I wasn’t expecting that.”
“I didn’t mean to run. I didn’t want a repeat.” BJ said hugging Hawkeye. Hawkeye hugged him back.
Hawkeye’s brain snapped back to reality as he remembered who’s tent he was in. “Uh, Beej could we leave because it is weird being in here with you like this.” BJ looked confused but then his eyes widened.
“Yeah, let’s go Hawk.” Hawkeye got off the cot and pulled BJ up off the cot. They both walked out of the tent as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. Hawkeye threw his arm around BJ’s shoulder and BJ smiled and did the same.
“You want to go to the Officer’s Club?” Hawkeye asked. He needed something to drink and he knew BJ needed one more than anyone else.
“Sure. I could use a drink.” Hawkeye looked at BJ.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’ve never been better Hawk,” BJ said with a real smile. Hawkeye smiled back. He knew now it was going to be easier to help BJ through this rough patch and hopefully he will be able to put BJ back together.
Hawkeye and BJ came out of the Officer’s Club giggling. Hawkeye was the sober one of the two and he half carried BJ. Hawkeye didn’t know why they were laughing but he couldn’t stop.
They made it to the tent in one piece. Hawkeye helped BJ onto his cot. BJ pulled Hawkeye down on top of him.
“When is Charles coming back?” BJ asked.
“He has Post-Op all night and you are drunk.” Hawkeye tried to get up but BJ wouldn’t let him.
“Please don’t go,” BJ said his words slurring slightly. Hawkeye kissed him.
“I’m not but I have to go to my own cot.”
“Don’t leave me.” Hawkeye saw the hurt shining in his eyes.
“I’ll stay until you go to sleep.” BJ smiled slightly.
Hawkeye laid there waiting for BJ to fall asleep which didn’t take long. Hawkeye kissed him softly. “I know it hurts but you will always have me,” he said softly. Hawkeye moved quietly and carefully off of BJ. He crawled onto his own cot and fell asleep.
