As much as Y/N loved her Captain. He was one for being protective of the one he loved the most. The loved Captain tend to have a hero act for his girl. And she didn't exactly need it. She understood his actions, and at the first couple times, she thought it was sweet. But after the few dozens times he "saved" little Y/N, it got old in the woman's eyes.

  She wasn't just any old broad. Y/n was a strong, caring, and overall ambitious and all-american woman. She didn't take no for an answer and she especially didn't take shit from anyone. Learning as the only female Marines in a battalion of Marines, she needed to take what she wanted. And that one thing the Captain was attracted to her immediately due to this spite. A woman who was an amazing leader, cunning, and extremely smart. She stepped over any men that threw themselves down at her feet. She was a Gunnery Sergeant and he was a Captain. Like it was known, she took what she wanted. And Y/N wanted Captain Haldane. She always got what she wanted in the end.

 Y/N walked on the edges of the camp, in her service pants and a tank top. Her rifle's strap slung on around her shoulders whilst her rifle laid on her back. Walking along side a few fellow Marines, a cigarette dancing between her lips as she cracked jokes and laughed. Kicking up some dirt on the little roads as she walked. Captain Haldane sat on a barrel with his right hand man Hillbilly Jones besides him. His eyes locked on the female from afar. His lips pressed into a thin line. Jones' eyes followed the line of gaze and chuckled slightly when his eyes landed on the female. Looking over at his superior officer and patting his shoulder and turning to walk back to his cot. Haldane let out a soft chuckle and his eyes met with his secret lover's. A smile came to hr lips and gave him a wink. A little code the two worked out for each other. With a slight nod he stood and made his way behind a line of big supply trucks. Y/N just excused herself from her small group of friends and made her way to the same area.

 She met up with the officer, looking both ways making sure the coast was clear. The relationship was forbidden by rules of the Marine Corps. Both of them new that. But, nothing was going to keep them separated for long. For they were star crossed lovers, soulmates, and they knew it.

 Y/N smiled up at the Captain, flicking her cigarette to the side. "How much time do you think we got to see each other today?" she asked, her voice happy but quiet. Not wanting to alert anyone. Especially any other higher ups. Ack-Ack didn't say anything, just placed his right hand on her hips and the other hand going behind her neck. Pressing her body close to his and planting her lips on hers. Firmly and full of want and love. Sure they kissed before. Little pecks in secrecy. And maybe some heated make out sessions in the back of supply trucks. But, this kiss was different. Y/N felt weak in the knees as she smiled against the Officer's lips. Andrew pulled away after about fifteen seconds. Looking into the female's eyes and keeping a straight face. Though, looking into his eyes, you could see all his emotions and feelings.

 "We are going through Peleliu Airfield today. It's going to be extremely dangerous. I love you," he spoke, his voice filled with concern and care. His hand cupped the Marine's cheeks and stared deep into her eyes. Y/N smiled up at him, not caring about the words before he said 'I love you'. She stood on the tips of her toes and pressed her lips onto the Captain's and pulled away quickly.

 "It's nothing I can't handle Captain. I love you too," she teased. But, meaning her words with every being of herself. She held his hands in hers. They spent a minute just staring into each others eyes. Enjoying the moments they barely got. They sound of boots approaching the vehicles made them snap their heads towards the direction of the sound. They gave each other a quick kiss goodbye and the quickly parted ways. Y/N placed another cigarette between her lips and lit it with a match, smiling to herself at her Captain's words.

 Peleliu. Where many Marines were going to lose their lives. Many knew this. It was just a matter of who was going to die, and who wasn't. The airfield was exploding from Japanese Artillery. Men, some barely even being men, being tossed into the air. Their limbs being thrown about. Their bodies dropping around. Men dropping from being shot by the nonstop gun fire the Japanese threw at them. Corpsman ran, trying their best to save everyone and not get shot themselves. Y/N sprinted between covers, yelling for men to keep moving and push forward. Being able to take a couple seconds to shoot at a few Japanese gunners and shooters before taking off to find a new cover again.

 The female Marine dove into a deep foxhole. Breathing heavily as she held her helmet onto her head. She gulped, as a familiar Captain and Lieutenant dove in besides her. Haldane had a relieved look on his face seeing his lover, safe and not harmed. At least not now. "Y/N, its too dangerous to run right now. My Marines are dropping like flies. Stay down here until we advance far enough!" he shouted over the mayhem of which filled the airfield. Y/N pursed her lips and looked at the Captain. She knew he was worried and how much he cared. But she wasn't the type to just wait it out and wait for the all clear. She sat up more and came eye level with her boyfriend.

 "I'm not a damsel in distress, Andrew. I'm a damsel doing damage," she replied. Giving him a cheeky wink before turning and jumping out of the foxhole. Running forward into the immense fire. Ack-Ack let out a low growl type of sound and followed closely after her. He was about thirty feet behind the woman. His weapon tightly in his grasp as he dodged explosions, flying limbs and men, and the fire that was directed towards them. In silent awe watching the woman in front of him. She was covered in blood, sweat, and dirt. Her hair knotted beneath her helmet. But somehow, some way, she looked so beautiful. Like an angel in the midst of the utter chaos that surrounded her. She paused for a moment, taking the time to fire a few rounds of her rifle before taking off running again. Captain Haldane close behind her.

 It took an extremely long time to take over the airfield. Which costed many lives. So many men were wounded. And there were so many casualties. Y/N rested against of a wall of a halfway blown to pieces building. A sigh leaving lips as her body aches and sweat poured from her forehead. The sun had just set, so the air cooling down thankfully. Young Marines that couldn't be more than nineteen sat quietly, trying to take in the true horrors and stress they had to deal with today.  Captain Haldane walked up to Y/N, sitting down besides her. "How are you doing?" he whispered, not wanting to wake any sleeping Marines that were around the two.

 "Just dandy, sir," she spoke, a small smile on her face. Happy to get a little time with her boyfriend. He smiled and chuckled softly and slowly reached down to take her hand is his.

 "You know I worry about you when go out onto the field, darling," looking over at her. She chuckled and looked at her lap before looking at her Captain.

 "Oh darling, I know. But you need to not worry. I am just as capable as you of getting across an airfield," Y/N responded, leaning her head onto his shoulder. Andrew leaned his head on hers, his cheek pressed against her hair.

  "I know I know, but it doesn't change the fact that I worry," Y/N hummed in response and lifted her head. She placed a soft kiss on his cheek and turned his head so he could look at her.

  "Hush now with the worries, we need to get some rest," the Marine proposed, resting her head back on his shoulder with a soft sigh leaving her lips. Haldane nodded slightly and a small yawn was heard from him as he closed his eyes softly.

 "Alright then, sweetheart," The two quickly fell asleep, leaning against one another. Waiting to see what the next day would bring them.

The way I manage people is to touch their hearts and souls with humor and love and maybe a dash of razzle dazzle.
