| 53. “I love you and I am terrified.” (Charles/Leonidas(OC))
Leonidas stands in front of Charles in the Swamp with a few tears in his eyes. He had just heard that Charles never really cared for him from a nurse in Post-Op when he was helping Hawkeye with his rounds. He was confronting Charles about it, who's acting like he has no idea what Leonidas is talking about. Charles stands from his desk, putting a hand out to placate his lover. "Leonidas-"
"Why are you acting like you don't know anything!?" Leonidas asks, clearly a little angry. "The nurse told me that you told her everything I heard right to her face! She said she heard it from you, I don't think she has any reason to lie to me!"
"Leonidas, dear.." Charles says, clearly trying to calm Leonidas down. "I really do not know what you are talking about, my dear.."
"The nurse told me that you never really loved me. Was all of this just an act? Taking pity on the immigrant boy!?" Leonidas asks, tears falling down his face. "Was she right, did you never really love me?" He chuckles, bringing a hand up to wipe his eye. "I don't know why I thought it would be any different, you're a Winchester, of course you wouldn't-"
"I love you!" Charles says suddenly, surging forward and taking Leonidas's hand. "I do love you.." He repeats, looking at Leonidas with a soft look in his eyes. "But.. I am terrified." Leonidas pauses, looking at him with a confused look in his eye
"Terrified..?" Leonidas asks. "Why would you be terrified, I love you, Charles.. I'm not pulling the wool over your eyes on this." He says, stepping closer. "I have never lied to you and I won't ever start."
"You know I have an image to uphold back in Boston, I.. was just terrified that somehow news of you and me.. of us would make it back to Boston and my parents would figure it out." Charles explains. "I do love you, Leonidas, I do.. You know how my parents are, how my father is with people like you.. people like us."
Leonidas comes closer and cups Charles's cheek in his hand, his other hand still linked with Charles's. "I know how your father is.. And I honestly couldn't care less. I have you and you have me.. that's all we really need in this life. You don't have to be terrified, Charles, because you have me.." He says, smiling softly.
Charles looks down at Leonidas, just staring down at his lover. He eventually starts to smile, rubbing his thumb on Leonidas's hand. "I do have you, my dear.. And I am glad to have you in my life." He admits. Leonidas smiles as he hears Charles's words, he knows that he's the only one who can make Charles soft like this.
"Now come on. Let's get to bed. I'm exhausted after Post-Op duty and I know you've got first shift in the morning after BJ." Leonidas says, remembering the schedule that says Charles had to take over from BJ at seven in the morning. The two change and Leonidas convinces Charles to stay in his bed for the night. They fall asleep with each other in their arms, happy in their piece of Korea that's all theirs.

Drops this into the enclosure where the father mulcahy fans reside
Season 5, Episode 17: Ping Pong
BJ is the most character to put in situations... But yes, before you ask, these painting rituals are intricate and charged with so much thoughts and headcanons which could mean nothing (:
In which Klinger lends Hawkeye (and tailors) the dress that most of the camp fell in love with him in while the nurses were away. And a pair of nylons.
