The Sweet Breakdown Ch3
Title: The Sweet Breakdown
Author: lycan_cub
Pairing: Hawkeye/BJ
Rating: R
Summary: BJ is broken and Hawkeye has to pick up the pieces.
Hawkeye dropped his magazines on the floor. He lies down on his cot. He smiled as he remembered how happy BJ was before he left. His smile then turned sad. He was in love with BJ. He couldn’t deny it anymore. It always tore him apart when BJ would get a letter from home but he was happy that BJ was happy. His fantasies may as well have been nightmares.
He hated how close to BJ he was but could never do anything about it. He wanted BJ. It had started out as a mutual friendship but quickly turned into a crush. Finally it became Hawkeye falling in love with his very straight, married best friend.
Hawkeye sighed and sat up. He grabbed a glass and poured himself a drink. Early in the morning drinking was something Hawkeye normally tired to avoid but he really felt like one. He heard the door open and BJ walk in.
“Isn’t it a little early in the morning to be drinking Hawkeye?”
“Maybe it is,” Hawkeye said as he put the glass down and stood.
“I’m going for a walk.” BJ looked at him.
“Are you okay Hawk?”
“I’ve never been better.” Hawkeye smiled at BJ and walked out of the Swamp.
Hawkeye shoved his hands into his pockets as he walked through the camp. He didn’t want to see BJ reading his letter. Normally he didn’t care but something was bothering him.
His feet carried him to Father Mulcahy’s tent. He didn’t know why but he knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Hawkeye went in to find the Father preparing for a jog.
“Oh. Hawkeye. It’s a pleasure to see you. What brings you here?”
“Just needed someplace to go,” Hawkeye said evasively.
“Well what happened to the Swamp?”
“Nothing, BJ’s in there reading a letter. I thought I would give him some privacy.”
“Well you’re welcome to stay awhile. I’m just going to go for a run.”
“I don’t mean to keep you Father,” Hawkeye said sitting on the cot.
“It’s quite alright.” Mulcahy paused a moment and regarded Hawkeye.
“Are you okay Hawkeye?”
“I’m fine. I’m quite dandy actually. I think I could run my own shop full of them.”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk but you know my doors always open.” Hawkeye nodded.
“Thanks Father.”
“You’re quite welcome. Now I’m off.” Hawkeye smiled at Father Mulcahy.
Hawkeye sat there for a few more minutes before leaving. Hawkeye walked slowly back to the Swamp.
He opened the door to the Swamp to be greeted by BJ’s overturned cot and more mess than usual. He stood there rooted to the ground as he stared at a sobbing BJ Hunnicut.
