band of brothers: types of kisses hc

(a/n: sorry this is so long… i tried to include a lot of easy company... but if your fav isn't here, please just send an ask and i'll add them!)

send an ask if you would like to be on my taglist! :) (taglist: @ronsparky)

[dick winters]

cautious kisses

dick does not like pda only because he's extremely private and wants your relationship to be for the two of you only... no matter how nosy nix is

but there still are occasional kisses to your cheek when he’s more relaxed in front of other officers

he's tender and careful too; dick is always cupping your face, a thumb brushing across your cheek or brushing hair away from your face

dick is always very gentle and a little unsure at times

especially at the beginning of your relationship, he feels incredibly inexperienced, or at the very least, out of practice

he’s very okay with you taking the lead when kissing because he doesn't want to do anything wrong

dick is tentative and private but very into it... it's a good thing he has an insane amount self discipline because otherwise he would be kissing you 24/7

[lewis nixon]

speaking of self discipline… lew does have it but he also chooses to ignore it most of the time, if he wants to kiss you then he's going to kiss you

so many morning kisses

honestly just anytime in bed because lew plays fast and loose with 'morning' and sleep cycles

absolutely never wants to get up, has to be coaxed with a lot of kisses and cuddling, it is a huge ordeal

he always kisses with some degree of mess, a little uncontrolled, perhaps a little desperate

a lot of sudden kisses too like you think you're safe and then boom he’s all of the sudden in the room, pulling you towards him

will take advantage of any opportunity no matter how small... does he have any shame? (no, not really)

lew does shockingly get a little shy sometimes about pda though

“i don’t want to rub it in their faces…" he'll insist, "y'know... what they don’t have”

sureeee... the blush on his cheeks says otherwise though

[carwood lipton]

carwood's speciality is definitely comforting kisses

lip is always paying attention to you and what you need and how you feel and that extends to physical affection

always wants you to feel okay, better than okay, great

and if a kiss can make you feel better then he’s more than willing to oblige

affection between the two of you is every casual and common, always kissing, holding hands, some sort of physical touch

constantly smiling in between kisses

he’s just that happy and loves you so much

but the comforting kisses & affection goes both ways

kissing the stress and worry away from his face and tracing his scar with your thumb before kissing it gently, your noses almost touching after you pull away to catch your breath, the two of you wearing twin smiles

and whenever you say goodbye or reunite, you both try not to make a scene, but it's always a little bit of a scene tbh... like having to be without carwood's kisses for a week is basically criminal

all the other men think it's extremely cute though, don't worry

[ron speirs]

stolen kisses (haha)

even his kisses are stolen!

he will always come out of nowhere and will always find time for a smooch

every time you think surely ron isn't in this area, he's supposed to be somewhere else, he's not in this building... you are proven wrong

is incredibly good at carving out time to see you... and finding private places for the two of you

like he's definitely scoped a few places out before he goes to find you

one time you were in his office kissing and someone knocked on the door and he huffs and pouts because he has to break away from you, even if it's only for a second- he's not happy about it

ron barks out, “not now," before returning to you will a warm, soft smile

heavy on kisses instead of words

ron is very physical...whenever you finally pull away from a kiss... you can always see things/emotions in his eyes that you know he's not ready to say yet and finds difficult to articulate

[don malarkey]

soooo many shy kisses

okay yes, don is kind of unhinged (stealing a motorcycle, drinking methanol, etc) but not with relationships... like flirting?? kissing??

he's still incredibly enthusiastic about your relationship... very much so

but he gets really shy around you, especially with kissing

turns beet red so easily, like you love kissing him and pulling away to see him blushing all the way up to the tips of his ears <3

it's just so fun and he's having a great time... and don cannot hide his emotions or what he’s thinking so whatever he's thinking always comes out when you're kissing

"god, you're beautiful. you should bring this dress to paris when we go next weekend. oh- y'know what, skip still owes me that $40 i lent him. i really need that for next week's pass so-"

"don," you interrupt gently, brushing a hand across his jaw

he'll blush and smile sheepishly, "right, i'm shutting up, back to kissing..."

he's shy yet so excited and wants to do everything right, willing to learn and wants to learn, and just wants his inner emotions and love for you translate with physical affection

and it definitely does! don is extremely endearing and you love him for it

[joe toye]

joe's kisses are always very intense

his eye contact, his touch, his raspy voice… everything is intense in the best way possible

his hands already feel like fire, so warm against your own skin

he loves just laying next to you in bed, just observing you and taking it all in

his passion definitely goes along with the intensity

he's also extremely private about affection with you, just because it means so much to him

tends to get vulnerable and emotional very easily

and really likes pillow talk and just listening to your voice, your stories, and your perspective

he likes your reassurance too, your love, he's never felt anything like this before

so whenever he can manage to have free time alone with you, he's always savoring it

joe could kiss you for hours, he truly loves taking it all in, going slow, and savoring the time you have together

[george luz]

late night kisses are a staple for the two of you

george gets so excited being with you he doesn't want to sleep

the biggest sleepover vibes

like you both very seriously decide to go to bed but then george says something funny or does his dike impression and then you both start laughing and talking again

and kissing again, sometimes the impressions are so good you have to reward him

you guys have a lot of late nights because of this

also do kisses for warmth and sharing body heat count?

huddling in a foxhole together, in the thick of it together, like yes they don't have much food, supplies, or ammo but george is not going to let them take kisses away from him too

oh my god, laughing in between kisses

sometimes he really can’t take himself that seriously

george is like don and gets very excited

he just feels so lucky to have you and has to kiss you accordingly

kissing you and just being with you can make him a little emotional… a happy little high

cigarettes have nothing on you and your kisses!

[babe heffron]

babe is kind of like a baby deer, he's a little clumsy and sometimes unsure but he's definitely got the spirit

he is confident but he does tend to second guess himself when it comes to you, he just doesn't want to mess anything up.

like what if he uses too much tongue or he headbutts you on accident... he's just overthinking it

and sometimes you just have to grab his arm and pull him toward you and kiss him yourself

when you're alone, babe lovesss laying on your chest letting you run your fingers through his hair and kissing his forehead... but don't tell anyone

jk he doesn't care if anyone knows (and they absolutely do know)

and the guys can't even tease him that hard about it, that's much everyone loves babe... they're just happy for him tbh

babe definitely gets a little needy sometimes like where’s his daily kiss allotment :(

and he can get clingy... will 100% wrap his arms around, you pressing kisses to your neck and shoulder just because he hasn't seen you that much today

[eugene roe]

tired kisses are a doc roe staple

poor eugene, he's exhausted and jaded... a lot of the time… and the rest of the company gives the two of you space as often as they can because they know how much your presence helps him

tired kisses as in he is putting in effort but his lips don't move as fast or as needy

he's more languid and calm, and it's very enticing

forehead kisses too omg

he lovesss when you kiss his forehead; pull him against your body, your chest, your arms and he feels safe and secure

he likes kissing the top of your head too, his nose in the crown of your hair while murmuring something in french

you catch various words in french that after spending so much time with gene you can understand now

like mon ange, mon amour, ma moitié (my better half? sobbing)

your presence is so grounding for him and makes him feel more normal, like he's not constantly surrounded by death and pain

you make him feel like he doesn't have to be constantly on edge, like he can take his helmet off and not be on alert, like he hasn't totally lost himself in his job... your kisses are so grounding for him

[buck compton]

a lot of reassuring kisses

like sometimes he just has to kiss the worry off of your face

and vice versa, towards the end of the war it's not even just kisses but your presence and touch alone become extremely reassuring for him

but also... buck can be so cocky sometimes, he loves showing you off

you secretly (not so secretly) love it... like sorry it's hot

like once when the two of you were at a pub in england... he's gambling, he's drinking, he's smoking, and ofc he's kissing you!

what else is he supposed to do when he wins at darts or cards... come on

the guys hype him up and just hide their jealousy because you and buck very often seem like relationship goals

he's always touching you, like usually has a firm grip around your waist

always laughing together, everything you do together automatically seems so intimate

like in a room with the other guys... they do feel like they're intruding

just because you and buck are in the corner laughing and talking together, the love and intimacy feels like it takes over the entire room

it's just so passionate and obvious he's head over heels and that definitely comes across in his kisses

[joe liebgott]

joe's kisses strike me as tender but demanding and needy at the same time

he's a taker.... but also a giver so it evens out

some very, very eager kisses

like pushing you up against a wall, hand sliding up your thigh and mouth working down your neck...

joe is a great multitasker!

accidentally bites your lip once, it wasn't that hard or anything but he went bright red and was apologizing profusely, but also was like, "did you like it though..."

(you did but...)

bottom line is joe's just a tiny bit feral around you at all times honestly

you never know when he’s going to pull you into his lap and kiss you and you both loveeee when you sit on his lap

the men are very used to it by now

he also likes living on the edge, like who cares if the patrol's supposed to be back any minute now and could walk in at any time?

messy kisses like his mouth is just everywhere basically, he wastes absolutely no time

he is so noisy: whines, groans, moans, laughs, you get everything with joe

also loves when you tug and pull on his hair while kissing, he specifically requests it

but joe can also get incredibly soft and sweet and tender but that's strictly for your eyes only... he has a reputation to uphold ofc

he totally blows you kisses whenever one of you leaves the room... it starts ironically but now he really does enjoy doing it

[david webster]

oh david is just so romantic

like definitely over the top romantic... it's so serious to him

he's read enough (a lot) romance novels and craves that book and movie worthy relationship and love

his life IS a victorian romance novel and he will act accordingly

everyone else thinks it's incredibly cheesy but you think it’s really cute

it means so much passion whenever he's talking about you, talking to you, kissing you, etc

he's always trying to think of the right words to say and you’re like “david, just kiss me please”

ofc he obliges and he is very good at it

his touch is just always so tender, you can feel the passion and love through his kisses

he's a little hesitant sometimes, starts off slow but it's extremely easy to get him worked up and make him lose some of that self control that he works so hard to maintain and portray

[floyd talbert]

confident kisses

yeah... yeah, what more is there to say

floyd just has a way (from a lot of practice) with his mouth

he's also very attentive and is always surveying how you're reacting and feeling, always wants to make you feel good and lovesss watching your reactions

he loves when you make noises of surprise or pleasure, he always ends up grinning into your kiss, he just thinks it's sooo cute

however i do think the more serious your relationship gets and the more feelings that are attached, the more likely he gets nervous... just a little bit

but that's more with relationship things

the kissing he has down pat for sure

takes the lead, cups your cheek, always knows what to do with his hands and the perfect the angle to tilt his head

will sometimes stop super close to your lips and just grin, teasing kisses

floyd loves having all of your attention to himself, when you loop your arms around his neck, when your lips are on his face, when you're talking quietly only for him to hear, when you're the only one that actually calls him floyd, ugh he just melts

[shifty powers]

shifty is the absolute king of gentle kisses

like so so shy

especially at the beginning of your relationship, you definitely have to kiss him first and initiate everything

he's so scared of reading the moment wrong and messing everything up

which you always reassure him that he won't

he has literally the entire company hyping him up, they've been waiting for y'all to get together for basically years now

but once he's more comfortable, he's always wrapping his arms around you, smiling, and kissing you freely

he struggles to articulate all love and emotions he's feeling but you still love listening to him talk about it

he just blurts out "i love you so much" one day after kissing, when you're laying in bed in austria

and he immediately looks terrified, not that he regrets what he said because he most certainly means it, but he doesn't know what you're going to say

but it's only a few seconds before you grin and throw your arms around him, "i love you too," you mutter before kissing him, a little more intense, and with a little more fervor than your usual kisses

[bill guarnere]

his nick name of wild bill definitely applies to his kissing style

absolutely wild

sometimes borderline unhinged

especially if he's been drinking or partying

but also... if it's the two of you alone, having a mellow morning or night, bill does get soft

the other guys aren't even surprised by that, they know he has a soft and gentle side to him, they can see it whenever you're with him

bill is sporting a basically permanent smile while watching you

trying to burn the visual of you into his brain so he can keep it forever

his kisses are encapsulating and very distracting

he hates seeing you upset or stressed and he uses kisses and physical affection to help

loves holding you and being the big spoon

and you love it too

it's soooo comforting

and it's never easy to not be constantly reminded that you're in the middle of a war, about to jump into france, etc, but with him, his firm arms around you, it's a little easier to forget

[chuck grant]

chuck strikes me as very confident, kind of like tab

he just wants to appreciate you!

and shower you with love

he will never run out of ways and words to compliment you

he's been admiring you from afar for sooo long, now that your in his arms it feels incredibly surreal

his kisses are always firm and secure

and chuck really likes when you take the lead and take what you want from him

being away from you always stirs something extremely confident and desperate in him

really enjoys holding your hand

always having physical contact with you, that's a necessity

ooo... he loves having a hand on your thigh

especially if he can sneak it under the table during dinner or a meeting

just his hand sliding up and down, gripping and then releasing, and then looking at his innocent yet knowing smile...

that definitely leads to some intense kisses, your hands running through his hair, hand cupping his jawline, you leading the show

he lovesss getting a reaction from you

[luminouslywriting]

hello, i would like to place an order for BoB! how would they react if they dated a shy girl? ☺️

Nonny, this is such a darling idea and I have SO MANY thoughts! I didn't include ALL of the Easy men because there's so many of them, so have a few and let me know what you think! Requests are open and I simply love getting BoB requests!

Dick Winters:

-A soft and sweet-natured man that doesn't push boundaries and is so so so respectful of your shy demeanor.

-Really tries to get to know you before he expresses any interest in dating you because he doesn't want to scare you off

-He's a very reassuring presence so if you're ever nervous in public, he's going to be right by your side the entire time

-Loves getting alone time with you and getting to hear all of the thoughts you don't feel comfortable sharing in public

-Isn't into PDA anyway, but definitely loves kissing your hand to say goodbye. It's just a sweet and tender gesture to let you know how much you mean to him.

-Would, in fact, write you love letters

Lewis Nixon:

-Super chill about it and not overly pushy when it comes to your boundaries; you're perfect the way that you are and he never misses an opportunity to express that

-Definitely gives some light teasing when you get shy around him and loves to see you blush

-Likes holding your hand when you're in public places so that you know you're not alone

-Doesn't like socializing much with other people ANYWAY, so he'll use you as an excuse to skip out and relax with you instead

-Kisses the crown of your head as a comforting gesture when you're anxious about things or overstimulated

-Really good at initiating conversations and getting you talking when it's just the two of you; plus he loves to see you laugh!

Ronald Speirs:

-This man is an introvert KING anyway, so there's definitely some comfortable silence between the two of you

-And if anyone is ever making you feel uncomfortable or anxious, it's the scary dog privilege (pun intended) that he gets to have as he glares at people

-Would guide you through a crowded room with his hand on the small of your back and keep an arm around you as a physical reassurance

-Gets really soft with you and is able to open up and get you talking/share his own thoughts and feelings. It's a sign that he's comfortable with you for sure.

-Not big on PDA at all, but eye contact is his thing if you're in public. He always has an eye on you and is making sure that you're okay.

-Prefers the quiet nights when it's just the two of you talking, most likely during pillow-talk and he just gets to be really intimate and open with you.

Buck Compton:

-This man is so extroverted and everyone just loves being around him but he loves being around you because you have such a calming effect on other people.

-He definitely is the chatterbox in this relationship, but he loves that you're such a good listener and he always tries to reciprocate that when you want to talk.

-Is very good at reading nonverbal cues and knows exactly when you want to leave somewhere or if you're getting overwhelmed

-Post-war, he's definitely a little more selectively social and gets flustered in social situations easily; you're able to be his rock and something as simple as holding his hand grounds him

-20/10 would rather be cuddling you than out with other people though

-Is respectfully pursuing you and trying to get to know you in the most genuinely sweet way possible—and loves when you share things with him

Carwood Lipton:

-A soft sweetheart who is rather introverted himself, though he's good with people. That being said, he's the perfect man to have an S/O that's shy.

-He's a great listener, knows how to communicate and ask the right sort of questions to get to the root of things, and never just offers solutions/advice unless you're asking for it

-Loves to be next to you and holding your hand in public

-Will hype you up for certain social situations that you have to go to; and never misses an opportunity to tell you how amazing and great you are

-Doesn't really care much what other people think, but he cares about what YOU think and what your thoughts are.

-Gives the best hugs after social interactions or things that cause anxiety

Joseph Liebgott:

-This man can and would and HAS thrown hands over people being mean or rude with how shy you are

-Is fiercely protective of you and your sweet demeanor—even if it's you putting yourself down, it's not going to fly with him

-He's a very verbal person and he's going to need you to tell him if you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, though he is doing his best to pay attention to such things

-A cuddler and a clingy boyfriend anyway?? So even if you're shy about PDA, there's no getting around how much he needs to be touching you or be around you

-Is an excellent hype-man in the sense that he's trash-talking everyone else for not being cool enough or man enough to talk to you or to try and get to know you

-Is very soft when it's just the two of you and loves kissing your brow

Donald Malarkey:

-Absolute sweetheart to you from the get-go and isn't pushy at all about trying to get to know you

-In fact, sharing something with you might just be the way that he captures your heart haha; a shared piece of chocolate, notes for a class, whatever it might be, he's doing something simple and sweet to get you to notice him

-Never pushes you to talk about things that you don't want to talk about; and definitely rambles about some random stuff in the relationship

-Loves seeing you smile and just wants you to be happy

-Isn't big on PDA either, but would definitely hold your hand in public

-Not about to throw hands but he will call people out if they're being rude or aggressive when you're feeling particularly shy

Eugene Roe:

-A genuine angel?? Like this man is already an introvert and so being with you is just heaven for him

-Speaks really soft in French to compliment you and will not translate, given the fact that you will surely blush and get all shy on him haha

-Leaves you sweet love notes all over the place

-Definitely doesn't leave your side when you're out in public and is really attentive to you being uncomfortable in situations or overstimulated

-Would be just as happy to dance with you in the backyard of your home as the sun is setting than to go out in public to a dance or something

-Compliments about your shyness and how it just makes you a kinder and more genuine person

Bill Guarnere:

-Mouthy king who DOES NOT understand how he even ended up with you in the first place???

-But worry not, because he's out here ready to defend your honor (or whatever he thinks that is) at any given time. No one gets to tease you about your shyness except for him.

-Nicknames related to your shy demeanor that are only lightly teasing

-Is really soft when it's just the two of you and wants to give you the entire world haha

-He knows when he needs to tone things down and when he just needs to be your person

-Definitely gets slightly dramatic when it's just the two of you and treats you like an actual princess

Joe Toye:

-Perfectly calm with a shy person and honestly prefers the quiet life that the two of you get to lead together

-He's not SUPER extroverted, but he's perfectly happy getting to be the person who orders things for you or who does the talking.

-Asks and checks on how you're doing when you're out in public and keeps an eye on how other people are interacting with you. If he so much as senses that other people are gonna be too much, he will insert himself into the conversation to mediate.

-Loves napping and cuddling with you after long social activities

-Figured out that music is a really good way to say things without having to say things—so dancing together quietly is a good way to initiate conversations

-Communication is really important to him and so is hearing what you're thinking about; it's the best part of his day

George Luz:

-How did you end up together anyhow?? This man probably joked and offended you, felt bad—did some romantic gesture—and then learned how to be soft in your presence and tone things down

-Would, in fact, verbally decimate people who decide to be stand-offish or rude

-Always makes it a point to make you laugh when you're nervous or particularly shy—it seems to help you relax in social interactions

-Cheek kisses in public

-Brags about you all of the time to anyone he talks to

-Never misses an opportunity to compliment you and let you know that he loves you

[awaterfalls]

Part 4/??

[joenotexotic99]

Hi honey, I have to say I love your stuff. You write absolutely great. Could you do a headcannon on BoB and what type of love would you give them? I mean love at first sight, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, etc. I'd be happiest with Winters and Nixon and Speirs, but do what you will. Thank you.

A/n: here you go my love. When I finally re read the request I realized you might have wanted the pov's reversed but it was too late. Hopefully it's not too bad. I will happily switch it to reader pov if you wish.

Warnings:fluff

Masterlist

Richard winters

-friends to lovers. I don't think that this man thought of romance when he first met you. Attractive? Most definitely. However he had bigger things preoccupying his mind. Yet somehow at some point, you wiggled your way to being one of his best friends. Don't tell nix. Something about you practically scrambled his brain. He doesn't know when in the friendship he fell or if he fell in the very beginning. But when he realized just how much he loved you it was like he jumped off a cliff without a parachute. He knew right then and there you were it for him. He probably felt nervous telling you due to the fact that he never gave off the impression that he likes you. But let's just say the feelings were reciprocated.

"Dick, I have been flirting with you this whole time."

"Really??"

Lewis nixon

- love at first sight. This man took one look at you and said yes. He may not immediately start flirting with you out of respect, but he will damn well be tied to your finger. Will always open doors for you, and give you his coat when you're cold. So many acts of services. At one point you two were at a bar and some private made his way to your side to start a flirty conversation where he swears he got to hands'y. He knew that you were single but he was extremely jealous nonetheless. Eventually he had to leave to get some air. You followed shortly to catch up with him. You confronted him asking what has gotten into him as of late. He never wanted it to come out like this but it sort of just spilled out of him. He rambled on about his feelings before you cut him off with a kiss and a huge grin on your face.

"Shut up nix and take me on a date"

Ronald speirs

-Distance attraction, I don't know what to call it, this is the closest I can get. It just feels right. Basically, Speirs isn't quite love at first sight, he's the guy who needs to really get to know you to start building a relationship like that. However this man has a MASSIVE crush on you. But he's too prideful to say anything seeing how simping for someone isn't exactly in Ron's profile. He just admires you from a distance while simultaneously stuffing his emotions deep down. Much better in his book. Yet he still does his very best to be by your side at every moment possible even though he spends a lot of time trying not to think about how perfect you are. It's you who makes the first move. You obviously like him and you know he does too. It's obvious to everyone but no-one says a single word. And before you can finish telling him if he wants to go out some time, he's already agreeing.

"Yes"

"What?"

"You free Friday?"

Carwood lipton

-childhood friends to lovers. He was the boy next door. You two were friends from first grade through college. Sharing secrets, sleepovers, getting into mischief. Car started crushing on you when you two were teenagers. Said crush continued all the way until you two volunteer to join the paratroopers. War was hell but you seemed to make it just a little bit more manageable. His life in the war picked up significantly and he had a freight train worth of responsibility placed on his shoulders. Yet you never left his side. It wasn't until Austria that he confessed his feelings. He almost felt sick when he told you in fear of losing his best friend. It was short sweet at straight to the point. You were silent for what felt like an eternity. Lip almost took off in fear of rejection. He was stopped in his tracks by the sound of your laughter. He turned to hear you laughing with the biggest smile on your face.

"Clifford carwood Lipton, do you know how long I've been waiting for those words"

Joseph Leibgott

-Enemies to lovers. Your relationship started off Rocky. Your personality clashed and having a civilized conversation was seemingly impossible. Every time your paths crossed it was filled with banter, insults and tension. Sometimes it got to the point where someone needed to intervene. When you would walk into the same room that Joe would be in it's like the air seemed to thicken. The cold stares and passive aggressive comments. As the war progressed your comments never faulted but the tension you ask? It could be felt by an entire room. And all that hate seemed to not leave as bad as a taste in your mouth. Joe knew from the start that he hated and loved you. You know the type of enemies to lovers where it's like 'she's mine' and 'who did this to you?' It's giving that. He got so fed up with replacements trying to whisk you away so he simply grabbed you by the waist and kissed you.

"Don't lever leave with one of them alright sweetheart?"

"Wasn't planning on it"

Richard Winters - Dog Days Are Over

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father / Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers / Leave all your love and your longing behind / You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

Lewis Nixon - No Choir

But I must confess / I did it all for myself / I gathered you here to hide from some vast unnameable fear / But the loneliness never left me / I always took it with me / But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company

Ronald Speirs - Daffodil

I'm not bad, I'm not good / I drank every sky that I could / Made myself mythical, tried to be real / Saw the future in the face of a / Daffodil

Carwood Lipton - Free

Is this how it is? / Is this how it's always been? / To exist in the face of suffering and death / And somehow still keep singing? / Oh, like Christ up on a cross / Who died for us, who died for what? / Oh, don't you wanna call it off?

Eugene Roe - Wish That You Were Here

And I never minded being on my own / Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home / To be where you are / But even closer to you, you seem so very far

Harry Welsh - Patricia

I drink too much coffee and think of you often / In a city where reality has long been forgotten / And are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified / But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love

Buck Compton - Third Eye

You don't have to be a ghost / Here amongst the living / You are flesh and blood / And you deserve to be loved / And you deserve what you are given / And oh, how much? / 'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies / And I can see it with my third eye

hi! i really love your writings!

i was wondering if you could make some headcannons for the easy boys breaking down and turning to the reader for comfort after a super hard week.

if you don’t wanna do this one/can’t think of anything, it’s totally fine!

i hope you’re doing well!

This has been sitting in my drafts forever now. I was worried about too many of them being too similar, so I didn't get to everybody. But here are the ones that I had the strongest feelings about:

Dick Winters: Okay, so I feel like maybe Winters doesn't quite reach a breaking point. You can tell that he's stressed and that he's going through a lot, so you let him know that you're here if he needs someone to talk to. It's actually kind of a shock when he comes to you, asking if you have a moment. Really, he just needs to unload, to have someone listen to him. It would be such a relief for him to know he can do that with you, and for you to know that he trusts you enough to confide in you.

Lewis Nixon: Nixon tends to go a different way. When he's stressed or upset, he kind of shuts down, becoming somewhat emotionally unavailable. He knows that he can - and that he should - go to you, but he's worried about how you'll react. When he does turn to you, when you listen to him, comfort him through what he's going through, he feels ten times lighter and ready to take on the world with you by his side.

Ronald Speirs: The rest of the company would probably be shocked if they knew how easily Speirs comes to you. It starts with him resting his head against your shoulder once you're alone together, and then sighing when you run a hand through his hair. He trusts you and knows he's safe, and then confides everything in you. There's not much that can be done to fix the week he's had, but if you just hold him like this, it'll give him the strength to pick himself up and give it another shot.

Carwood Lipton: He's so busy taking care of everyone, but who takes care of him? He's not really one for showing when he's at his limit, so when he comes to you, you know that he's reached a breaking point. Just let him talk it out. Maybe you both come up with a solution for where to go from here. Maybe you don't. He's just thankful for your company as he goes through this.

Babe Heffron: You know in Bastogne, how after Julian's death Babe just sort of . . . shuts down for a bit? That would be him after this week. He's stressed and doesn't really know how to process whatever is going on. When he comes to you, he's probably quiet and careful. But as soon as you see something is wrong, you take his hand, and he feels like he's able to tell you anything.

Eugene Roe: He feels guilty coming to you, because he doesn't want to feel like he's forcing his problems onto you. Once he starts sharing what's wrong, though, it's hard to stop; he didn't realize how much all of this was weighing on him. And when he's done talking, when you hold him and promise him that you'll always be there for him and will help him through it, he's glad that he spoke up.

Bill Guarnere: This boy is gonna hold it all in until he can't anymore - and when he finally breaks, it probably isn't going to be pretty. He doesn't know how to tell you what's wrong, but he decides to try. Some things can't always be fixed; sometimes you just need someone to listen to you. And knowing that he can confide in you makes all the difference to him, even if that's all you can do to help. Now he doesn't have to push himself to the limit anymore, and that makes all the difference.

Joe Liebgott: Listen, I think Joe is better with emotions than we tend to give him credit for. If he's bottling them up throughout the week, it's just because he doesn't want to worry you too much - after all, he loves you, and he doesn't want to feel like he's being a burden. When he finally does turn to you for help, he feels bad the entire time he's explaining his emotions to you. He's going to have to learn that he can open up to you, and this is his first time realizing that he can come to you when he needs to.

David Webster: Either bottles up his emotions until he feels like he's going to explode, or he comes to you the second he feels like he needs to talk things through - there's no in between. This may comes as a surprise, but Webster is a great listener, and if you give him advice or comfort for whatever he's going through, he's going to take it to heart. And he'll always remember how you were there for him.

Thank you for the request, Anon, and I hope you like these! 💕🕊️

Epiphany Pt. 4: Evermore

Lewis Nixon x Reader

Masterlist

Series Masterlist

A/N:  thanks for patiently waiting for this chapter!! it's filled with angst, so be prepared! also, i took a little bit of creative license and added a little something to the end of the chapter, so let's pretend that easy moved to some form of housing after Arnhem...haha.😅😅 this is about the fictional portrayal of easy company on the show. nothing but love and respect for veterans on this blog!

Summary: As the operation in Holland crumbles, (y/n) and the rest of Easy are forced to retreat from Arnhem, and a stray bullet makes (y/n) reconsider her anger toward Nixon.

Word Count: 4.4k

Warnings: mentions of blood/injury, major angst

SEPTEMBER 1944, HOLLAND: OPERATION MARKET GARDEN

Operation Market Garden had begun with high hopes and lofty ambitions, but now, it was undeniable: it had crumpled into a resounding failure. From the moment Lieutenant Brewer was shot, a sense of impending doom had settled like a lead weight in (y/n)'s stomach.

If she was being honest with herself, she couldn’t get a good feeling about it after Eindhoven and what she'd seen there. The mission was already teetering on the brink of disaster, and now as Easy retreated through the war-torn streets of Arnhem, that gut-wrenching feeling had transformed into a harsh and unforgiving reality.

In the fray, (y/n) found herself separated from the rest of her squad when the Tigers opened fire. She took shelter behind a blown-out corner, her heart pounding in her chest as she pressed her face against the cool stone. Her eyes scanned the buildings before her for krauts, and when she deemed it safe, she signaled for two fellow soldiers to follow her lead.

Bullets zipped through the air dangerously close as they sprinted for their lives, crouching and weaving to evade the deadly rain of fire. (Y/n) pushed through some sheets on a clothesline, her focus on the path ahead, but then the man beside her fell with a heavy thud. Before she could even turn back to help him, a powerful force yanked her behind a nearby building.

“There ya are! We’s was worried about ya!”

A strong Philadelphian accent filled her ears, and she leaned against the brick wall, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She peered around the corner and closed her eyes with a sigh, seeing the frozen stare of the fallen soldier, along with the blood streaming from his forehead. Guarnere’s firm hand on her shoulder pulled her back behind cover.

“What’re ya thinkin’? Tryin’ to get yourself freakin’ killed?” he yelled, voice tinged with exasperation as he fired rounds around the corner. “We’ve gotta fall back! Luz!”

Luz? George was there?

(Y/n)’s head snapped to her right, and there he stood with a radio to his ear, frantically relaying critical information to CP.

“We have infantry everywhere!” he cried, covering his other ear with his hand. “Repeat, armor has cut the road! We are covered in infantry!”

Bill took cover behind the building and pushed (y/n) and Grant forward roughly. “Fall back! Fall back!”

George, however, remained against the wall as he continued to repeat his urgent message. ”It’s a hold down! We are falling back! Over!”

(Y/n) knew they couldn’t wait any longer, so before Bill could, she grabbed George’s arm, her voice urgent as she pulled him with her. “George! Let’s go!”

As they sprinted away from the building, a deafening explosion rocked the air, and a mortar struck the house behind them. Stone and metal fragments hurtled through the air around them. The sheer force of the blast sent (y/n) tumbling to the ground, her body crashing in a heap.

George was quick to react, grabbing (y/n) and pulling up as she scrambled to her feet. Their hearts raced in the aftermath of the explosion, and together they pressed forward, following other paratroopers out of the town. Bill and Chuck ran ahead of them, weaving in and out of the streets. The rest of them followed closely, their boots pounding against the uneven cobblestone roads. But their frantic sprint came to an abrupt halt when they stumbled upon Skip and Don forcefully kicking down the door to what appeared to be a chicken coup.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Bill shouted, alarmed by his friend’s actions.

The boys grabbed the door. “Help us!”

Following them into a ditch, (y/n)’s eyes widened seeing Buck bleeding on the ground.

“What happened?” She asked, kneeling beside him as the others hoisted him onto the door from the chicken coup.

Buck winced in pain but managed to speak. “It’s Easy Company tradition, (y/l/n). I just drew the-,” he winced again, his voice strained, “-short straw.”

She patted him gently on the shoulder as Skip, Don, and Bill began to drag the door behind them, struggling with Buck’s weight. He was a college football player, after all.

As they finally reached the waiting trucks, the exhaustion had taken its toll on the three. They were on the verge of collapse, their bodies pushed to the limits by the harrowing events of the day. Thankfully, a few paratroopers had already descended from the trucks and rushed to help. With a collective effort, they carefully loaded the injured lieutenant onto the transport. Lip appeared, ushering more troops toward the waiting trucks.

(Y/n), Bill, and Lip stood behind Bull. “One bullet, four holes,” Bill quipped with a wry grin, gesturing to Buck’s wounded butt with his thumb. 

Carwood patted Buck’s boot with a relieved smile. “Yeah. It’s almost a miracle.”

The sergeants nodded at her before walking away. As she prepared to blimp onto the truck, a familiar voice calling her name brought her to a halt.

“(Y/n)!”

She turned to follow the voice back to its source, her expression hardening when she recognized Lewis Nixon. The memories of their encounter in Eindhoven flooded back, and her anger surged anew as he approached.

“What?” She spat, crossing her arms defensively.

Lew sighed, concern evident as he looked her over. “You alright? I heard it wa-”

“Why do you care?” She interrupted him sharply, her tone dripping with resentment.

He was taken aback by her coldness. “Because I care about you," he stated, his words slow and deliberate, though he knew that his feelings for her extended beyond mere friendship. "We're friends."

“Whatever, Nixon,” she muttered dismissively, climbing into the truck and plopping beside Malarkey with an exasperated huff.

Lew watched her for a moment, his jaw clenched, as he processed the rift that had grown between them.

So that’s how things were going to be.

With a shake of his head, he turned away and went searching for Dick, determined to find a way to mend the damaged bond between himself and (y/n).

Don observed Nixon walking away with a puzzled expression on his face. (Y/n)’s cold demeanor toward the intelligence officer was a stark contrast to the adoration Don had witnessed in the pub just a few days prior.

He nudged her gently, his curiosity getting the better of him. “What happened?” he inquired, voice filling with concern.

“With Nix?” She confirmed, and he nodded.

“Well,” she began, clearing her throat. “I was trying to stop one of the Dutch Resistance men from hurting a woman in Eindhoven, and he stopped me.”

Don raised an eyebrow. “And that’s all?” He pressed, sensing there was more to the story.

She bit her cheek, her eyes avoiding his. “Yep. That’s it.”

The sergeant didn’t quite buy her explanation, but he also didn’t want to push her too hard, “Alright,” he conceded. “Have you thought about it from his perspective?”

(Y/n) scoffed bitterly. “What other perspective, Malark? What do-”

He held up a hand, interrupting her. “The one of the guy who didn’t want to see you get hurt.”

Her expression shifted as his words sank in. She hadn’t considered that angle. In the moment, she had already been angry at him for what he did with the Dutch girl and allowed that rage to fuel her actions.

“Yeah, you’re right,” she admitted, her tone softer. “The guy was getting pretty aggressive with me.”

Don nodded, starting to understand the complexities of the situation. “See, he cares about you, (y/n/n). We all see it. And we know you care about him, too.” 

Her eyes widened in surprise at his words. “Don, please don-”

But he cut her off gently, a reassuring smile on his face. “Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me and the boys.”

A relieved sigh escaped her lips, and she offered him a grateful smile. “Thank you.”

As they drove away to safety, (y/n) shifted her gaze downward and noticed a bloodstain against her already dirty hands. Her heart raced as she peered down at her boots, where a few crimson droplets clung to the dark leather. Confusion and concern gnawed at her, and her eyes drifted over to Buck, whose pants were completely soaked with the red substance. (Y/n) couldn’t shake the unease that washed over her. 

She was fine. Right? She must have brushed against Buck.

(Y/n) wiped her bloody palms on her pants with a grimace. On top of dirt, sweat, and grime, she now had streaks of blood marring her uniform.

“Buck, next time you get shot, try not to bleed so much, alright? It got all over my boots,” she quipped, her tone lighthearted despite the weariness that weighed her down. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the truck’s canopy, finding a moment of respite.

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll try,” Buck replied, his voice tinged with pain. 

Exhausted and overwhelmed by the events of the day, she allowed the rumbling of the truck’s engine to lull her into a fitful sleep.

A gentle hand on (y/n)’s shoulder roused her from her much-needed rest. Her eyes fluttered open in the darkness and she tried to focus, but a sharp pang of pain surged through her head. With a soft groan, she brought a hand up to her temples, massaging them in an attempt to alleviate the discomfort. 

As she continued to rub them, she realized that she was feeling much more than just a headache. The world around her seemed to spin slightly, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.

With a deep breath, she pushed through the dizziness and sat up, steadying herself against the side of the truck. Don’s hand shot out to steady her.

“You okay?” He asked, his voice filled with concern.

(Y/n) nodded slowly, worried any sudden movements would tip her over. “Yeah. Just got up too fast.”

Don gave a reassuring nod. “Alright,” he replied before letting go and exiting the truck.

The other men were already getting out of the vehicle, and (y/n) knew she couldn’t stay any longer. Despite the lingering disorientation and the discomfort of her headache, she summoned her strength and climbed out of the transport, her legs feeling a bit wobbly as she joined her fellow paratroopers on the ground. The world around her gradually steadied, and she then focused on finding George in the dark landscape.

As (y/n) wandered from group to group, looking for the radioman, her attention was suddenly diverted by a hushed conversation nearby. She overheard the whispered words that made her heart stop.

“I heard Captain Nixon got hit today.”

Her breath caught in her throat, and before she could think, her voice escaped her lips involuntarily. “What?”

The men in the group turned toward her, recognizing the (y/h/c) immediately. It was More, Smokey, and Shifty who shared the information. 

“Yeah, while we were retreating. Took one to the helmet,” Smokey replied.

Tears welled up in her eyes as worry and dread washed over her. “I-is he alive?”

Shift sensed her destress, rolling his eyes at Smokey. “Come on, Smoke. Stop torturing her.”

The man couldn’t help but grin. “Alright,” he conceded. “He’s okay, it was a stray that just grazed him.”

A deep sigh of relief escaped her, and the dizziness she had felt earlier hit her again. The overwhelming emotion of the moment left her feeling weak, but the important thing was that Lew was alive.

“He’s okay. He’s alive,” she repeated to herself, the words providing a soothing balm to her anxiety. She had to see him, had to make things right.

Turning to Shifty, she asked with urgency, not even looking at the others. “You seen him?”

The Virginian nodded in response. “He was up on top of the dike with Winters earlier.”

(Y/n) thanked the man and quickly made her way in the direction of the dike. However, with each step she took, it felt like the next one became harder and heavier. The adrenaline that had carried her this far was starting to wear off, and the physical toll of the failed mission was catching up to her.

By the time she made it up the steep hill to the top of the dike, she was panting heavily, chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. The world around her swam in a haze, and she clung to the rough surface of the dike, using it to support her trembling body as she tried to regain her composure.

Although she felt like falling over, she knew she had to find Nix, and nothing was going to stop her from making things right between them. With every ounce of willpower she could muster, she steadied herself and pressed forward.

A few minutes later, (y/n) finally found Lew leaning against the side of a jeep, his gaze fixed on the distant town of Eindhoven, which was illuminated by the fiery hues of its ongoing bombardment. The night sky blazed with shades of bright orange and red, casein an eerie and unsettling glow over the landscape.

A quiet knock broke the solemn silence from behind Lew. He turned to see (y/n) leaning against the driver’s side door, concern etched across her weary face.

“Hey,” she began softly. “Are you okay?”

Lew raised a hand to his sore temple, his gaze lingering on her battered form. “Yeah,” he replied in a hushed tone, his eyes silently tracing the evidence of the battle. “Just a minor concussion.”

(Y/n) slid away from the doorframe, her steps sluggish as she made her way over and sat up on the hood, with much difficulty. The dim light cast delicate shadows across her face, revealing her ashen complexion, the dried mud and blood staining her ODs, and the thin layer of sweat glistening on her forehead. She looked much worse than when he saw her a few hours earlier.

Lew’s brow creased with growing concern. “Are you alright? You’re not looking too good, (y/n/n).”

Her response was laced with a touch of sarcasm. “Why, thank you,” she retorted, rolling her eyes. “You sure know how to flatter women, Nixon. Did you use that charm on the Dutch girl in Eindhoven?”

The air between them grew heavy, filled with unspoken emotions, and Lew found himself captivated by (y/n)’s tired, yet expressive eyes. He couldn’t quite decipher whether her gaze held anger or sadness, but he still felt a pang of guilt.

He hung his head, his voice filled with remorse. “I’m sorry.”

“Why are you sorry?” She scoffed bitterly. “I can’t tell you who or who not to kiss.”

Lew sighed heavily, pushing away from his hood. “I know that. But I am sorry,” he murmured, voice dropping to a rasp. “I’m sorry about those women, too. You know I cou-”

“Couldn’t do anything. Yeah, I know that now,” she interrupted, her voice heavy with regret.

She lazily ran a hand across her forehead, her eyelids drooping as if weighed down by invisible burdens. Nausea slithered its way up her throat, and she could taste the sour bitterness at the back of her tongue. It wasn’t even that hot, yet the oppressive air clung to her like a second skin. (Y/n) struggled back to the ground, the world swaying slightly around her.

“It’s like an oven out here,” she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.

He glanced at her, concern etched across his face. “Are you sure you’re okay?” His instincts pricked with worry.

“I’m just tired,” she whispered.

Her eyelids drooped further, fatigue tugging at her like an anchor. Slowly, she began to peel off her OD jacket, as if shedding a heavy burden. Nix approached her, his touch gentle as he grasped her elbow.

“How about I take you to Doc and get you checked out, all right?” He suggested, voice laced with concern.

“No, I’m fine,” she insisted, shaking her head and shrugging off his concern, determined to downplay her discomfort. Her jacket dropped to the dirt, revealing the sweat-soaked undershirt clinging to her skin. “I’m okay, Lew.”

Nix’s worry deepened with every passing moment. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong. “Please,” he pleaded softly, his hand gently guiding her toward other men, resting on her hip. She finally relented and began walking beside him, though her steps seemed unsteady.

As they reached the path down the dike, Lew reluctantly removed his hand. But his relief was short-lived when he saw his hand, now stained dark red.

They both stared at the shocking sight, a heavy silence hanging between them. Time seemed to stand still until the realization crashed over them like a tidal wave. A searing pain erupted in her side, a fiery agony that threatened to consume her. (Y/n)’s vision blurred, and the landscape spun as the pain coursed through her, her breathing quickening in frantic desperation.

(Y/n)’s knees gave out, and she crumpled to the ground, her body limp in Nix’s arms. 

“Medic!!” Lew’s voice trembled with raw emotion as he shouted for help. “Medic!”

He carefully lowered them gently to the ground and laid her on her back. As he lifted her blood-soaked shirt, his heart sank at the sight that met his eyes. Even in the dark, he could see the pool of blood oozing from a gunshot wound just above her hip.

She’d been shot, and the pain had finally caught up with her.

Lew wasted no time and pressed his hands firmly against the wound, wincing as she cried out in agony. “Medic!! Someone get a medic!!”

In a frantic blur, Dick came running from the distance, his eyes widening at the harrowing scene before him. “What happened?”

“She was shot! Go get Doc!” Nix barked, urgency coursing through his veins.

Dick vanished as quickly as he had appeared, leaving Lew to look down at (y/n)’s pain-stricken face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“You’re gonna be okay, you hear me?” Nix’s voice quivered, but he fought to keep it steady. “You’re gonna be fine, sweetheart.”

Roe skidded next to her and shoved Lew aside as he began to assess and treat (y/n). Her trembling hand shot out, desperately grabbing onto Nix’s.

“Lew,” she croaked through her tears, her voice filled with fear. “I’m scared.”

He cupped her cheek gently, his touch tender. “I know,” he whispered, his eyes locked on hers. “I’m here.”

Gene grunted, swiftly tearing open a packet of sulfa, his experienced hands moving with precision. “Keep her awake, sir. She’s lost a lot of blood,” he instructed, urgency lacing his words.

With a determined nod, Lew turned his full attention back to (y/n), his heart heavy with worry. Gene’s voice faded into the background as he yelled instructions to the men around him, but Lew scarcely registered any of it. His world had narrowed to (y/n), and the only thing that mattered was ensuring her (y/e/c) eyes remained open and aware at all times.

The weight of responsibility pressed down on him, but he couldn’t afford to falter. He whispered soothing words to her, his voice a lifeline amid chaos, doing everything in his power to keep her conscious, hoping that she would pull through.

As Gene worked to stabilize her, Lew’s heartache and fear threatened to overwhelm him. He refused to entertain the idea of losing her, and couldn’t bear to contemplate a world without her in it. To him, life would lose all its meaning, its vibrancy, if she slipped away. The thought of her absence cast a shadow over his soul that he couldn’t bear to confront.

(Y/n)’s pain-ridden expression gradually softened, and a sense of relief washed over her as a syrette of morphine was swiftly plunged into her shoulder. The drug’s effects began to take hold, easing the searing agony that gripped her, and she slipped into a welcomed state of relaxation.

“Let’s go!” Gene announced, his voice firm after tying (y/n)’s bandage tightly around her waist. “We’ve gotta get her to the aid station.”

With practiced teamwork, they carefully rolled her onto a stretcher, cradling her injured form, and swiftly moved her to a waiting jeep, its engine humming. Throughout the process, Lew never let go of her hand.

As the effects of the morphine started to blur her senses, (y/n)’s voice took on a hazy and panicked tone. Her words spilled out in a rush, filled with desperation. “I’m sorry about earlier. I was being immature and-”

Before she could finish her sentence, a gentle hand reached out to cup her cheek. “No,” he said earnestly, his voice filled with regret. “It doesn’t matter now. If anyone should be sorry, it’s me, sweetheart, and I am.”

Her (y/e/c) eyes met his, and she whispered, “It doesn’t matter. Just tell me you’ll miss me.”

Nix nodded, tears glistening in his eyes. “I’ll miss you every day.”

Her playful spirit shone through even in such dire circumstances. “Don’t let Dick drive you nuts. That’s my job.”

Dick, appearing at Lew’s side, spoke softly. “They’ve got to go, Nix,” he said, patting his friend’s shoulder with understanding.

Lew leaned over and tenderly brushed a strand of hair from (y/n)’s forehead and planted a soft kiss there. “I’ll see you when you get back, alright?”

She managed a serene smile and squeezed his hand one last time as he reluctantly released his grip and stepped back. 

“Get better,” Dick said, his tone brotherly, as he affectionately patted her cheek.

“Yes, sir,” she smirked lazily. “Take care of him. You know how he can get.”

Dick chuckled, nodding in agreement. “Yes, I do.”

With a rumble of the engine, Eugene hopped into the jeep beside (y/n), taking a moment to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. He called out to the driver, his voice filled with determination.

“We’re good!”

Lew stared blankly at the disappearing jeep, its wheels kicking up dust as it carried (y/n) away to the aid station. His heart felt heavy, his thoughts a tangled mess as he watched her vanish from his sight. He couldn’t tear his gaze away and his eyes locked on the trail of dust.

3 DAYS LATER

Once Easy was finally moved into a nearby town, Lew numbly settled into his shared room with Dick. He looked down at his ODs, which were still covered with her blood, along with his blood-stained hands, a grim reminder of what had just transpired.

He marched over to Dick’s footlocker and slung it open with a bang, then began rummaging through it in search of his precious VAT-69. His trembling hands found a bottle, and he wasted no time in grabbing a glass and pouring a shot of whiskey. The fiery burn that followed was a sharp contrast to the numbness that enveloped him.

“Nix,” Dick sighed softly, concern etching lines onto his face. “Now that we’ve got supplies, let’s get you cleaned up, all right?”

Lew raised his glass, took a sip, and then stared out the window. “I’m good,” he replied, shaking his head with a hollow, bitter smile. “I’m perfectly fine.”

“She wouldn’t want you to start drinking,” Dick urged gently, trying to reason with his friend.

Nix’s voice grew thick with emotion as he spoke, his guilt and anguish laid bare. “Well, she’s not here anymore, is she? And what if she doesn’t make it? What if I spent my last few days with her in a fight?” The weight of his self-blame hung heavily in the air, his eyes unfocused.

“Have you told her?” Dick asked, his tone filled with sympathy as he saw the torment in his friend’s eyes.

Lew took another sip of whiskey, his gaze distant. “Of course not.”

“Dick,” Nix began, his voice cracking with emotion as he turned to face his friend. “What if I never get to?”

Dick’s expression softened, and he laid a reassuring hand on Lew’s shoulder. “You will. Doc came back last night. He said she’ll be okay, just off the line for a couple of weeks.”

Relief washed over him, and he let out a quiet, heartfelt sigh. “Thank God,” he whispered, setting down his glass and running his trembling hands down his face.

“Dick, I-”

“I know,” he said softly. “She’ll be back before you know it. Until then, you should write to her, keeping her updated with the company.”

Lew nodded, his heart heavy but thankful she would be okay. “Yeah.”

“I’ll go get you some new ODs,” Dick offered, his voice filled with concern as he left the room quietly, giving the man a moment of solitude.

Nix, feeling the weight of the day’s events bearing down on him, walked into the bathroom and leaned heavily over the sink. His hands gripped the cold porcelain as he stared at his reflection in the dimly lit room. He looked terrible. His face was smeared with blood and dirt, and his eyes appeared hollow, haunted by what had happened.

His mind kept replaying the tape of that fateful moment, but all it did was pause at the very moment he thought all was lost. The fear in her eyes, etched into his memory like a scar, refused to fade.

Tears welled up in his brown eyes, blurring his reflection as he tried to shake off the haunting images. Lew shook his head, his hands trembling as he turned on the faucet and began to wash away the stains of war. The clear water slowly turned pink as it dripped off his stained hands, and he scrubbed relentlessly, desperately trying to wash away not just the physical traces of blood but also the guilt and helplessness that clung to him.

As he continued to scrub his hands, the room remained silent, save for the sound of water running down the drain. Each drop that fell was a reminder of the mark this day had left on him

Finally, he turned off the faucet and dried his hands, his reflection now free of the gruesome stains. Nix took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom, ready to put pen to paper and write her the first of many letters.

→ most likely only engages in pda if he’s jealous or really worried

→ 9/10 times it’s because he hears some of the guys trying to guess why you’re with him, due to all of the infamous stories

→ you’ll find his hand on the small of your back whenever he’s near you, sometimes with a little squeeze to your hip as he passes by

→ kisses in front of anyone are extremely rare

→ those are reserved for the very scarce moments that you two get alone

→ he’s a bit more comfortable with lip, nix, winters and harry, so they’re the ones subjected to the real speirs

→ dear lord does he love a good make out

→ he will sit you down and just go for it

→ they’re rare but you can just feel the pent up passion he’s dying to show you

lipton

→ if anyone in easy is trying to forget how much they miss their families, looking at the two of you will send them straight back to square one

→ always holding your hand or sneaking you little kisses

→ loves playing with your hair

→ cuddles up to you and let’s you trace the scar on his face (please kiss it, it makes him flustered)

→ ignores all the teasing from the men, and usually joins in if he notices you getting embarrassed

→ is always eager to give you the biggest kiss so the guys will just get jealous and stop their constant “ooh”-ing

→ will get a bit snarky if anyone intrudes on/interrupts his quiet time with you

→ so luz does it on purpose

→ lives vicariously through pda because it lets him imagine your life together outside of the war (his favourite pastime)

when you get hurt hcs [officers + roe]

a/n: requested <3 usually in my writing the reader is implied to be a part of easy company in a vague way bc i know ppl have different preferences but some of these include getting shot (not graphic or anything) so ig that implies they're on the front lines

lmk if you would like to be on my taglist! @ronsparky @bcon24 @blueberry-ovaries @1waveshortofashipwreck

[dick winters]

you hit your head prettyyyy hard, and you're out of it, probably definitely concussed

it happens right in front of dick and he tries really hard to keep calm

he wants to be strong and level-headed for you

shows more obvious affection then any of the men have ever seen from him; pets your hair, holds your hand, is always by your side

he immediately gets you a medic and transported to an aid station and doesn’t want to leave you

but when dick's back with easy, he gets uncharacteristically easily angry and frustrated...

he gets quiet and withdrawn and a little snappy with zelensky and nix... and they both immediately know why

whenever he can go see you, he's there.. he even gets behind on all his paperwork (but nix offers to help)

which dick is hesitant to accept for many reasons, he feels guilty, like he's not focusing on his duties but lew is always good at keeping the reports concise lol

very fragile with you, he isn't underestimating you but he just absolutely does not want to push you or hurt you

is a stickler for the rules, follows absolutely everything the doctor says

he has to wake you up every few hours and you keep insisting it’s unnecessary and dick is absolutely not having it

you try to get up and move around and all dick has to hear is the sheets moving and he just gives you that stare, a little bit like a disappointed mom, and you're right back laying down

he’s way more clingy than usual, wants to be by your side, subtly holding your hand

in that moment it definitely hits him how much he loves and cares about you... he hasn't really had time or space to process those feelings until now <3

[lewis nixon]

it does not look good at first

it's really scary for everyone there, you loose a lot of blood and lose consciousness

lew is not there when you're first shot in the leg and everyone is very glad that he didn't have to see it

but when he finds out... oh he is not keeping cool, is not pretending even a little bit to be okay

starts lashing out and snaps at the driver who's taking him to the hospital to drive faster, mad that they didn't tell him sooner, mad that you were injured, mad at the war, furious at absolutely everything

lew has to be monitored by dick not to go full self destruction mode and get incredibly drunk

he hates just sitting with the constant uncomfortable feeling and reminder that you're hurting

he will not leave your side at first when you’re sleeping a lot, on a lot of medicine, and out of it

one nurse does approach him when he's the only vistor in the hospital left, "sir, the visiting hours-"

he just looks up, obviously devastated, voice cracking, "i'm can't leave. you can drag me out but i'm not going, thanks."

they back off after that

does go through a phase where he hates going once you're more conscious because he kills him to see you like that and face this feels irrational guilt he feels for not being there

because he definitely has the tendency to avoid his problems and things that hurt him

but it hurts you too and you don't fully understand

you look up at dick and harry, slightly delirious from the morphine, tearing up, "does he not want to see me anymore?"

after that they do drag lew to see you and you just straight up tell him feeling guilty is pointless and not fair to himself (or you)

and then it's right back to not leaving your side and always trying to make you laugh or smile

[ron speirs]

okay so i love the angel of the company x speirs trope

by now he's the co of easy and your relationship is a widely known secret...

he assigns you and the group of other men to a patrol... it wasn't an overly risky or bad order, a standard order from sink

but you guys make contact and you're shot in the arm

it just absolutely wrecks him

the guys feel like he's just going to go across enemy lines and find the soldier that shot you himself

the rest of the guys are furious too because everyone just absolutely loves you

for a short time, he's mad at the other soldiers on the patrol and you have to reminder him they didn't do anything wrong

but ron is really just irrationally mad at himself for not being there, for not being psychic, he's just angry he somehow didn't stop this

ron is not controlling and not possessive and he knows you can hold your own but he feels responsible for taking care of you and making sure you're safe

even if he can't quite articulate all of those feelings yet

he doesn't understand all the emotions he feels and doesn't even have time to try to understand them

he listens so attentively to the doctors, he can recite everything they've said word for word

like with chuck, he demands the absolute best from the doctors

this incident shows his more compassionate side and the guys start to see how much he really cares about you... bc they're protective of you too!

you have to comfort him and his voice breaks

and he feels weak and he feels bad that you're comforting him and not the other way around

"i'm messing everything up, doing everything wrong," he says more to himself but you frown, eyebrows furrowed and everything

"you're so hard on yourself, ron. when it's not your fault, it was routine, you didn't shoot me. then i'd be really pissed." you smile and he smiles weakly... but he's on edge for a longgg time after this

[carwood lipton]

unfortunately you and lip just cannot catch a break

your leg gets injured while he has pneumonia

it's not a major injury but a bullet ricocheted off of a wall and slightly grazed you and you need a few days of staying off of it

lip really tries to be comforting

and wants to be there for you and he is!

but it's very hard for him, he just wants you to be okay so badly, even when he himself isn't okay

trying to lecture you about staying off of your leg and asking others for help but breaking out into a coughing fit and then you're trying to help him sit up and to go get some hot water for him

and then he's back to telling you to stop and starts hoarsely calling for luz

it's a MESS

but carwood is a natural caretaker and has been one for most of his life

it makes him hover sooo badly especially because since he's sick too he doesn't have a lot of work to keep him busy

but you're not complaining honestly, it's nice to have more private time and something of a break, even if you're both miserable

you get the special privilege of an actual private back bed room with a mattress and blankets

kind of a bonding experience

you just laugh because what the fuck

it's kind of romantic, first time in a longgg time in an actual bed together

you just go back and forth talking about your future and the life you want after the war

"i don't like this wallpaper," you murmur into his chest

he laughs and that turns into coughing again and you're just rubbing his back trying not to bend your leg... domestic bliss <3

[buck compton]

buck... does not take it well

he takes it extremely hard

like his reaction to joe and bill...

you have pneumonia and the peniciln you need isn't available in bastogne

and it's even worse that he finds out you're sick only a few hours after that and that you've been sick and struggling for the past few days

maybe his reaction would've been different earlier on in the war

but now, it just feels like a destructive domino effect that's sparing no one

it's obvious after all of his friends injuries and your pneumonia that he couldn't stay on the front line... his red bleary eyes and slightly trembling hands said enough

when he gets taken off the line, you're both in an aid station together for a few hours before you're both transferred to different hospital

so his presence is silent reassurance

you want so badly to comfort him but you're so sick and he doesn't want you to, he feels so guilty leaving you

but you hoarsely tell him he needs a break and to process what happened

you're feeling slightly better this day so that makes it a little better... but not that much

both of you have been through hell

but there is a light in the tunnel... or at least you feel that way

buck isn't on the front lines anymore and you both have a chance at a life together post-war

he does not want to leave you, it has to take a lot of malarkey's coaxing him and promising to update buck

[eugene roe]

gene can't decide if having medical knowledge makes it better or worse

and if being the medic and being the one to have their hands covered in the your blood, was better than leaving it in the hands of someone else

he decides it's awful... definitely worse

the very few hours he slept, it was just dreaming of your terrified face

and he wakes with a jolt and is completely miserable

and life just goes on...

a lot of pacing and murmuring

gene closes in on himself when he's upset and stressed, so he becomes even quieter than normal

and the other guys are worried like ??? do we need to intervene and lip just stops them, "leave him alone, he'll be okay."

prays for you a lot, gripping his rosary so tightly and the photo that he has of the two of you when you were still in england

when you both felt some semblance of normalcy

he can't abandon the company to stay with you full time at the aid station to his incredible frustration and disappointment

it's just hard for him to go on like everything's fine, it shatters whatever illusion he has of fairness and hope and safety

whenever someone else gets injured or they need supplies, he'll take any excuse to ride back to the aid station to see you

and if anyone else goes, they always see you and give gene an update

winters definitely notices and tries to give him opportunities to see you

likes watching you rest and sleep (because you definitely needed it, even before you got injured) in the sweetest, non-creepy way

gene loves to just sit with you, see you with his own eyes, and know for certain that you're okay

[luminouslywriting]

Band of brothers headcannon ,somehow somebody told them u were cheating on them and they get super angry or depressed but then they discover it's not true, in a way or another.

An angsty request? Nonny, I'm not sure if you know this, but I live in angst and pain and prefer writing this sort of stuff haha! So keep sending in the angsty headcanon requests, because I'm SO down! Requests are open!

Cut for length, light spice in some, angst under the cut, picking on Webster at least once for no reason haha:

Dick Winters:

-It's not necessarily that someone told him that you were cheating as much as it was implied through subtext and he does NOT deal well with that at all.

-But he's not super vocal about it??? Like, he's the type of man who would rather just talk to you about things than let rumors lie in wait and spiral.

-It doesn't stop him from worrying about if he's done something wrong to push you away until you're able to finally talk.

-And when you do talk, there's this massive relief that you were just getting another job and talking with a superior about it—nothing malicious or mean of the sort.

-Please just reassure this man that he's the love of your life. He's a fairly secure man, but this was rough emotionally and he never accused you of anything but that doesn't mean that he wasn't worried for a second there.

-It definitely becomes a laughing point in your relationship later on.

Lewis Nixon:

-Listen, this man has NOT had good luck when it comes to women or relationships in his lifetime. So when you're a little busier than normal and out longer than normal, he can't help but spiral.

-He takes these fears to some of his friends (not Winters though, because that man would tell him to screw his head on straight haha), and they somehow get it in his head that you're cheating on him

-Cue the downward spiral of drinking and being depresso-expresso yet again

-So when you come home and you've been working extra hours to get a surprise for him—because all you wanted to do was afford a dog on your own wages rather than Lew's money—and he's all emotional and upset—it's a rough situation

-Arguments are had and feelings are hurt. So when he sobers up and realizes that you were just trying to do something sweet for him, he's hurrying to apologize in a big grand romantic gesture sort of a way.

-Moral of the story? Don't surprise him, he'll assume something else is going on or start some sort of conspiracy theory about it haha

Ronald Speirs:

-Someone starts the rumors maliciously because they had a crush/feelings for you and it gets around pretty quickly....and the thing about the entire situation is that he's unfazed? -Like this is the man who people-watches and reads people really well. He's fairly certain that he'd know if you were cheating on him lol.

-That being said, when the rumors finally make their way over to YOU, you shut them down and go to talk to him.

-He's really patient and sweet about the entire thing—because of course he knows you weren't cheating on him, but you're apologizing because of the rumors and he's just wanting to be there for you because that's a rough reputation to have going around tbh.

-Speirs is so secure in the relationship and the way that you feel about him. If not for the declaration of love, then certainly for the way that you are screaming his name later that evening lol.

-Also definitely finds the root of the rumor and uses intimidation to make them back off—no more problems like that for you two ever again.

Buck Compton:

-He's shocked and baffled as to what he's hearing and he's going through everything in his mind trying to figure out where he went wrong. Has he upset you? Were you two not close? What happened anyway?

-He gets real quiet about things when he sees you next because he's trying to figure out how to express what he's feeling.

-And there's definitely some distance on his part and so when he finally comes to you and just asks about the entire thing, YOU'RE just as baffled as he is.

-So reassure him, give him cuddles, attention, verbal affirmation that he's the only man for you, and he'll be secure in no time at all

-But also, realize that it's now going to be a lingering fear of his that you'll leave him for someone else. So be on watch and on guard for any feelings like that re-emerging over time.

-Communication and showing love is going to be big in patching things up.

Carwood Lipton:

-Heart shattered and in disbelief the minute that he sees you hugging another man that he does not recognize.

-He doesn't necessarily want to confront you and have a nasty argument about it, but his jealousy is certainly spiking quite a bit. This leads to him pulling away from the relationship.

-And then the minute that you introduce him to your cousin who has been fighting down in the Pacific for the past few years?? It all clicks into place and he suddenly feels very silly.

-Shamefully admits this to you later when it's just you two alone. And he feels really bad that he even doubted your feelings and intentions.

-But tell him that he's the one, demand that he give you a family—all will be solved by morning haha

-It becomes a running joke in your family for years to come.

Joseph Liebgott:

-JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS—he knows that you have lots of guy friends and that you get along well with HIS friends. But let's be honest, it's probably Webster who suggests that maybe you're a little TOO close to some of his friends.

-And so the ugly side of his jealousy rears it's head and he's getting all possessive and kind of controlling in some ways

-Confronting him is going to be the simplest and easiest route to handle this entire situation

-It's going to be a few arguments later that he realizes that he's really messed up by accusing you of sleeping with one of his friends. But he does come to you and genuinely apologize for his words.

-Yes, this is something you and said friend are going to hold over his head for the rest of your relationship lol.

-And yes, Webster may have gotten punched by you for planting the idea in sweet Joe's head.

Donald Malarkey:

-Listen, this man pays no mind to rumors. But when the rumors involve you and another man? He tends to pay attention. He doesn't believe what he's hearing at all.

-Definitely runs to talk to you immediately about the rumors and isn't sure what to make of your reaction—shocked, of course.

-Your reassurances calm him down and a cuddle session immediately will help him feel much better

-He's definitely going to bring you flowers the next time that he sees you out of guilt lol

-Tries to be more confident in the relationship after that because you promised him that he's the only man for you

-Also attempts to quell rumors with his friends because he's fiercely defensive over you and your honor.

Eugene Roe:

-Soft man here is in love with you to the point of self-destruction, okay?? So when he comes to see you in the medic tent and finds another man kissing you, he's immediately hurt and heart is shattered.

-What he doesn't know is that that was a patient who just kissed you and you had to literally slap the man to get him off of you. So Gene here is in his feels and upset about things.

-When you come to see him and he doesn't really want to talk, you're so confused and he gets really emotional about the entire thing. It's a whole messy argument of you trying to explain what happened.

-And then of course after he's had some time to process the entire thing, he feels just awful for not listening to you or understanding the situation

-He comes to you with a really sincere and soft apology, possibly some chocolate in hand to help his case, and tells you how much you mean to him

-Is it the first time he admits that he loves you? Absolutely. And this certainly leads to the best makeout session of your life haha.

Bill Guarnere:

-Throws hands the minute that someone tells him you're cheating on him. He doesn't believe the rumors for one freakin' minute.

-So when you have to patch him up after some injuries and you're demanding to know why and he angrily explains that it's about you, it's a whole mess.

-You're sitting there trying to explain that you would NEVER, and he KNOWS that so he's just mad that someone would spread the rumors anyway

-This just leads to the two of you being more annoying with PDA haha

-And having a really noisy session of sex where you're both just being so vocal about your love for one another

-Yes, everyone knows that this just strengthened your relationship.

Joe Toye:

-He hears it around the guys in the base—the thing is?? It's an old rumor about some guy that you had kissed BEFORE you were with Joe.

-He gets real quiet and sullen about the entire thing, almost a pouty behavior that leaves you with your head spinning because where is all of THIS behavior coming from??

-It takes a few days of this behavior before he's ready to talk about it and then you're attempting to explain that it's an old flame and that your feelings are solely for Joe now

-In fact, seducing him might just be the move because then he's super smug about the entire thing.

-He might even go and talk to the ex to see if HE has any feelings for you left. And yes, some intimidation might be in order to get him to leave the rumors alone because you and Joe are together now.

-You warn him not to act all pouty like that again though—it was NOT it for you two haha

George Luz:

-Bamboozled, shocked, dismayed, all five stages of grief—but mostly in disbelief

-He's immediately going to shade the hell out of whoever was spreading the rumor even BEFORE he goes to talk to you about the entire thing

-Super down on himself and joking about how he's messed up the entire relationship because clearly you're cheating—and GIRL, you better shut that down NOW

-Please just give him a grand gesture of love yourself and shade him a little bit for even thinking like that??

-Honestly, if you say you're down for marriage, problem solved and this man will never bring it up again—except for maybe in the speeches at the wedding lol

-Is convinced you're even more beautiful when you're shading him for being stupid and believing rumors haha

[awaterfalls]
