Word Count: Roughly 865 words

Author’s Note: Just a little headcanon-esque list to tide y’all over. Currently working on a lot of different works, so expect some more stories and finished requests soon. I recently re-watched a couple episodes of M*A*S*H and thought of some new content, so here it is lmao

Hope you guys are doing well :)

-Lets be honest, this man will go after anything that walks, but it takes a special type of person to keep him steadily interested

-And your down to Earth attitude and unwavering sense of calm was just the thing he didn't know he needed

-After the last couple of years he spent fighting to save the lives wagered in the elite's pointless slaughter, the thing that he needed the most wasn't sex, alcohol, or frivolous pranks

-It was someone to keep him grounded

-Someone to remind him that times like these wouldn't last forever

-The first time he met you he was immediately enraptured by your easy-going style, dopey smile, and down-turned eyes

-You seemed like someone who loved to live life, and Hawkeye knew he had to get you on his team before you met anyone else in the unit 

-Much to his surprise, you also end up being from Maine. Something that immediately gets him ranting

-It wasn't until one night, after twenty-four hours of surgery, that he began to really accept his romantic feelings for you

---------------------------------------------------

-Straight after that moment you both struck up and unlikely friendship, and his feelings began to grow

-No matter what you saw and how long you worked, you always came out calm and ready to do more. And that occasion was no different 

-After seeing Hawkeye seated on a bench in the mess tent you casually walked over to him and slipped down next to him

-Wrapping your arms around him, you let him curl into you and rest his head on your torso

-After a few minutes of you gently rubbing his back, he looked sluggishly up at you and asked:

"What's with the suddenly burst in affection comrade? I suppose you couldn't resist my charms forever; we Pierces are doomed to be irresistible you know.."

-To that, you glanced back down at him and squeezed him tighter:

"You looked like someone who needed a hug is all. No one deserves to go through something as hard as that and only be left with an uncomfortable cot and flimsy wool blanket.."

-And all it took was that little admission for Hawkeye to be smitten beyond belief 

-Up to that point, no one had ever really helped him to help him. They always helped him with the  intention of getting him back in shape for the job or to help themselves 

-And up to that point, he didn't know how bad he needed to hear something as simple as that 

---------------------------------------------------

-The next day, when there was no influx of wounded and everyone was well rested, he promised himself he would finally confess his feelings

-After cleaning up his tent, setting up a surprisingly nice meal that he knew he would owe an arm and a leg favor for, and kicking BJ out he was finally ready to invite you over and confess his feelings 

- The whole time he walked you to his tent and ate dinner with you, he felt like a ball of nervous energy that was about to burst

- Until you invited him to lay on his bed with you that is

-That calmed him down immensely 

-Similar to the previous night he curled up and gazed straight into your down-turned orbs:

"You know, up until last night, I never really realized how badly I needed someone like you. You understand me better than even my own father, and I don't know how to repay you for helping me when I didn't even realize I needed it. 

What I do know though, is that I've fallen madly in love with you darling, and I fear every day I see you it may grow worse."

-Although he spoke the last part in a comical accent and seemed to be over exaggerating, you knew that he was telling the truth

-Which is why you said, "I know," and immediately brought him into a slow languid kiss

-Two minutes into the kiss, he pulled you two apart and you let out a soft, "I love you too you massive dork.."

---------------------------------------------------

-After that day, you two were never seen apart for too long

-And every minute you two were apart for more than two days was like Hell; and everyone could tell the toll it took on you both

-Especially if one of you was sent to the front lines

-Those nights were the worst 

-And no one could console either of you until the other was back to camp safe and sound

-By the time the end of the war rolled around, you two had developed a strong and healthy relationship 

-You had helped him cope with every problem the war rolled his way and, in turn, he was there for you when things got too overwhelming 

-To others, you two were a power couple; something to be desired in their relationships. Hawkeye never gave romantic attention to women that weren't you, and no man stood a chance with you if their name wasn't Benjamin Pierce

-And the day you both got your orders to return home, he scooped you up and asked you to marry him

-And what other answer would you have besides a: "Hell yeah!"
