“Bed’s up there,” Hawkeye said from the floor next to her. “Close enough,” she said. Her belt abruptly felt unbearably tight, so she fumbled at the buckle. “Hey,” he protested. “I’m not that kind of girl.” “Yes you are,” she said, and she heard him smile, a wet slide of lips over teeth in the dark. “All right, yes I am.” He nudged her knee with his knee. “But you’re not.”

“Seeing you sure brings back a few things.” Hawkeye says it like a confession, leaning back in his chair with his head tipped up to the stars. “You too,” Sidney murmurs, and can’t help the smile that breaks over his face when Hawkeye rolls his head to the side to look at him. “You’re one of a kind, Hawkeye. You were then and you are now. I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed.” --- Or: When he was thirty years old and living in Brooklyn, Sidney bumped into a young med student visiting the city for a taste of the queer nightlife. Ten years later in Korea they meet by chance once again, and spend the next three years growing closer and more entangled.

Scratching the Itch

by RemyFire

Rating: Explicit

Relationships: B. J. Hunnicutt/Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce/Original Female Character(s), B. J. Hunnicutt/Peg Hunnicutt (background)

Tags: Bisexual Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, Bisexual B. J. Hunnicutt, Sexual Tension, R&R, Bisexual Repression, B. J. Hunnicutt tap dances around honesty about his own marriage better than Fred Astaire, The Trapper Complex is in full swing on both sides, Hawkeye is a bit oblivious but we really can't blame him, Vaginal Sex, Voyeurism, Massage, Hurt/Comfort, Anal Sex

Summary:

"There's an itch. It eats you up inside. It's energy packed inside a globe, then shoved in your ribcage, just big enough that it strains the bones, and every hour that you leave it there, you risk something cracking. Something bursting." "I don't know if I'm following," BJ confesses quietly. "It's heat. It's goosebumps. It's getting sucked into a volcano because the only other way you can go is straight into space, where there's nothing and no one and you'll never be held or touched or kissed or fucked again. It's wondering if you're even worth the touching in the first place. And it's killing the wondering before it gets too loud, because what if it's infectious? And what if you start spreading it around to everybody else?" ~~~ During a weekend of R&R in Seoul with BJ, Hawkeye is forced to reckon with a whole mountain of things he's been repressing. He just wasn't expecting to have hands-on help—not after the conversations he and BJ have shared.

Between "I'll never shake you" and GOODBYE, BJ tucks a "hello" into Hawkeye's pocket. # “Something to help you keep track of time,” BJ said. “Keep track of—Beej, what? You’re giving me your watch?” “Loaning,” BJ corrected, a grin growing beneath that war crime of a mustache. “I’ll take it back a year from now, when you come find me in Mill Valley to return it. With interest, of course.” He patted the pocket, grin fading to something earnest. “That way you know I mean it when I say we’ll see one another again.” # When Hawkeye doesn't make it to California in July 1954, BJ takes matters into his own hands.
