Summary : Three Times Dick Winters Wanted to Confess His Feelings and The One Time He Did

A/N : Hello, the next fic after this will be the winner of the WIP poll. This one was tickling my brain though, so I had to write it! This fic is based on the fictional depiction in the miniseries Band of Brothers, not the real veterans. I hope you enjoy it and as always, pls like and reblog if you’d like to see more <;33

Shortly After You Met 

You were quickly wrapping bandages, stocking the medics’ bags, making sure morphine was ready, and generally cleaning house. Keeping clean conditions was a little more difficult in the position you were all in, but you liked to make sure the medics felt even partially clean and organized. 

“Well look at that..” you hear a voice behind you and you turn slightly, recognizing Dick Winters. You smile at him, eyes lighting up when you register that Doc Roe is standing next to him. 

“Just the men I wanted to see.” You hand a fully stocked aid kit to Doc “At the ready for use.” You lower your voice. “Don’t tell anybody but I gave my favorite company medic a few extra bandages.” Roe nods thoughtfully with a little laugh and takes his aid kit from you. 

Your eyes slide to Winters, smile brightening for him. “Hello Lieutenant Winters.” 

Dick pauses for a moment before answering you, your smile disarming him. Never had he seen you smile so brightly at him. He would have figured you would have reserved such sweet smiles for someone like Doc. 

Doc was looking between the two of you, eyebrows scrunched together a bit. Lieutenant Winters wasn’t a very talkative man, sure, but he seemed dumbstruck by you. 

“Hello, Nurse.” Dick says quietly. “Always a pleasure to see you.” He gives you a small, polite smile. You duck your head slightly, trying to hide the scarlet blush creeping up your cheeks. Dick pretends not to notice, but is secretly very pleased that he’s had this effect on you. 

“Thank you, Lieutenant. Such kind words for such difficult times bring me great comfort.” You fiddle absentmindedly with the spare piece of gauze in your hand, your calloused fingers looking so rough, but your touch being so gentle. 

“Nurse!” You hear someone call. “NURSE!” You head turns quickly and you notice a young man dragging his half conscious friend behind him. You drop the spare gauze in your hands and rush over, immediately pushing yourself under the unconscious young man’s other shoulder. You can see his lower leg is torn up, the blood mingling with his shredded trousers. You guide both men to a cot and as you reach for the makeshift curtain you lock eyes with Dick Winters, who looks as if he wants to say something to you. Before he opens his mouth, you close the curtain, turning to the wounded soldier. 

“I need a surgeon!” You yell, beginning with staunching blood flow. Once another nurse arrives, you pause, wiping your hands quickly and ripping open a sulfa powder packet with your teeth, sprinkling it on the unconscious man’s leg. 

Dick watches you from afar, admiring how you seem so sure of yourself. He can barely tear his eyes away from the scene in front of him. He shakes himself out of his reverie and exits the aid station with Doc Roe. 

2. When He Just Happened To Walk By

You were standing outside the aid station, taking a small breather. You knew you were meant to help people, it had just seemed like a calling, but watching men take their last breaths takes a toll on a person, and you needed to leave the stuffy confines of your post for a moment. 

“Oh. Hello.” You hear, and you look up, surprised to see Lieutenant Winters. “I just happened to be walking by and thought I would come say hello.” What you didn’t know is that he had given himself a papercut on purpose so he could come speak to you directly. Finding that you were already there, he forgot all about his self-inflicted cut and approached you carefully. 

You can’t help but smile at him. Of course, you smiled at many of the men, but something about Winters made you want to smile whenever you saw him. “Hello, Lieutenant Winters.” You say politely. Dick arches an eyebrow and looks down at you. 

“Please, call me Dick.” He says, one corner of his mouth quirking up at you, and you grin at him. His heart feels like it seized a bit, and he realizes that seeing you is something he keeps finding himself seeking out. 

“Okay.” You say sweetly. “Nice to meet you, Dick.” 

Now it’s Dick’s turn to grin at you. “Nice to meet you.” His blue eyes sparkle at you and you turn back to look at the road. 

Dick clears his throat. “You know, I -“ 

You turn to look at him again and he falters. He’s too nervous to tell you just how much he enjoys seeing you.

“Never mind. I seem to have lost my train of thought, Nurse.” He looks down briefly at the finger with the paper cut and you notice, gently taking his hand in yours. Dick’s heart skips a beat and you examine his finger. 

“Just a small paper cut. Do you want a bandage?” You say, looking up at him with what he swears is the sweetest expression he’s ever seen. 

He shakes his head slowly at you. “No, no. Save it for a man who needs it.” You notice that he doesn’t move his hand out of yours right away, and you like it. You would be lying if you said you didn’t have a small crush on the lieutenant, and when it felt like he sought you out just to say hello, you were elated. 

“You’re a noble man,Lieutenant. Braving that paper cut all by yourself.” You tease him, lowering both your hands gently. You bring your hand up and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear, aware of his eyes on you. 

“Well, someone has to do it.” He jokes lightly back. 

The two of you stand outside the aid station, a small smile playing on both your lips. 

3. The Ricochet 

You would be lying if you said you weren’t panicked. There was a rumor running through that Dick Winters had been shot, and you were running around the station, gathering whatever it was you thought might help. The other nurses glanced between themselves, knowing that Winters was important to you, even if you wouldn’t admit it. 

You make sure there’s a cot ready, waiting to see Doc Roe rush in, yelling at the others that a surgeon was needed, that Dick was losing too much blood, that he might not make it. 

When Dick walks in, limping, you stand there, shocked. 

He was standing upright. 

Dick raises his eyes and notices you, limping towards you. “Just the nurse I need to see.” You stare at him, unsure how to react, what to say. If your silence wasn’t embarrassing enough, you could feel tears pricking at your eyes. “Are…are you alright?” You look as if you may faint, and Dick reaches his hand out to cup your elbow gently. 

You blink a few times, looking up at him. Then you look down at his feet, remembering that he had limped over to meet you. “I…oh my, I’m so sorry.” You say, guiding him to a chair. Sitting opposite him, you just shake your head. “I…um. They told me you had been shot. That it might be bad.” 

Dick’s eyebrows raise, now understanding why you seemed to be worried. “Oh, no. No, sweetheart, it’s just a ricochet wound.” 

You pretend not to notice the “sweetheart” that slipped from his lips as he lifted his leg for you to examine. It truly wasn’t as bad as you had been told, and you clean and bandage it quickly. “You need to try and stay off this leg.” 

He shakes his head at you. “I can’t.” 

You smile sadly at him. “I know.” 

He leans forward and smiles softly at you, lifting your hand and bringing it to his lips. “Thank you, nurse.” 

4. The Night George Luz Asked You To Dance

Dick didn’t know why his stomach felt like someone had reached into and grabbed it with an iron fist. 

But Nixon did. As he follows Dick’s gaze he notices you, happily dancing with George Luz. He sees you throw your head back in a laugh and swears he sees Dick’s jaw jump. 

The men and most of the nurses were drinking, dancing, having a general good time before everything crumbled and went haywire. It almost felt normal, but what about war could ever be normal? Dick clears his throat and looks down at his feet briefly, noticing that the song had slowed down considerably, and you were now in Luz’s arms, swaying slightly to the soft music in the background. 

Nixon is still glancing at Dick when he sees his friend cross the room and cut in, taking you in to the same slow dance you had just been dancing with Luz. 

Dick looks down at you. “You look lovely tonight.” 

You smile up at him, blushing slightly. “How many pretty nurses have you said that to tonight?” You see his eyes soften considerably and he chuckles. 

“Only one.” You blush openly now as Dick draws you in, his cheek resting gently against your head as you sway to the music. 

“How’s your leg doing?” You ask quietly, and you hear Winters hum. 

“Sore. I’m just lucky I had such a tender nurse.” 

You pull your head back to look at him, finding him ready to meet your eyes. 

“I have to confess that it’s easy being a nurse to such a kind man.” You say, and Dick smiles at you. 

“I have to confess something as well.” He says, his eyes searching yours. “I think you are the nicest girl I’ve ever met.” He pauses, turning you slightly as the two of you sway to the song. “And I find myself thinking about you more and more.” 

You swallow, your eyes flicking across his face. “Is that so?” 

He nods, watching your face. You feel his arm around your back gently pull you closer again. He’s always gentle with you, like he thinks you might break. 

“I’ve thought about you a lot too. I think you may know that I care about you…given my reaction to your wound.” 

Dick’s heart skips a beat at this confession, and he takes his hand to softly cup under your chin, pulling your eyes to meet him. “When this is over, let me take you dancing properly.” 

“Does that mean you’ll stop dancing with me now when given the chance?” You ask, eyebrows scrunched together in fake anguish. 

Dick laughs, gently lifting your chin again. “May I kiss you?”  

You can’t speak, you just nod. He leans in, his lips touching yours ever so gently. 

It was saccharine, and when he pulls away from you, you can’t help but grin widely at him as he rests his forehead on yours. “What’s that pretty little smile for?” 

You shrug slightly. “Just terribly happy that you think about me as much as I think about you.” 

“I have ever since I first laid eyes on you, sweetheart.” 

You smile to yourself, feeling like you might burst with the butterflies that were fluttering in your stomach. 

From afar, Lewis Nixon stands with a drink in his hand, a small smile on his lips, happy that Dick had finally plucked up the courage to gather you in his arms.

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

You were now somewhere in England, literary somewhere in England. You and some of the boys from Easy drew the short straw and got placed in the group that was led by Captain Sobel on a mission. To say the least, you were so lost. The only positive thing about this was that you were with Luz, Perconte, Muck and Toye, especially the fact that George Luz were there. 

The two of you had been flirting back and forth for a while, but you had started to develop real feelings for him during the last month or so and that scared you. What if he didn’t like you back? What if he laughed at you? You were a medic and he was a real soldier, he was the one that stood on the front of the line getting shot at. You got so caught up in your thought that you totally missed that the men infront of you stopped, making you crash right in Toye’s back which resulted in you almost falling backwards. 

You look around and see a barbed wired fence and cows staring right at you. “Where the hell are we?” you whispered to Joe when your balance finally was restored. He just shrug his shoulders and gives you a smirk. “Lost in your thoughts again (Y/L/N)?” he whispers back at you and nudges your side lightly. 

“Peronte, Luz! Get the men… Get them behind” you hear Captain Sobel shout and points to the bush. “Get the behind those trees” he tries to say somewhat firm. “Alright, let’s go. Move it out” Luz and Perconte get the group moving and soon you find yourself standing next to Luz while watching Sobel freak out between the leaves. “Perconte, Sobel’s lost again right?” you ask as you take cover and the man only nods his head. 

“Hey Luz, can you do Major Horton?” Perconte asks. “Does a wild bear crap in the woods, son?” Luz answers in the majors voice and everyone starts laughing while Perconte tries to get the group quiet again. “Maybe the major can goose this schmuck. Get us moving?” Perconte asks with a hopeful smile. “No way, I’m not gonna...” he answers looking around the group and his eyes land on you. You feel the butterflies in your stomach twirl around. “Yes, please do it, George” you said looking at him with pleading eyes. He smiles at you “Alright, but just this once” he says and take a deep breath. 

“Is there a problem, Captain Sobel?” Luz shouts and everyone starts to laugh. You see Sobel turn around in confusion. “Who said that? Who broke silence?” he shouts back. You see Tipper try not to laugh and say something, but due to the distance you could’t make out what he said. You look up at Luz and laugh, he looks at you and tries to make the group silence again. 

“What is the Goddamn holdup, mr Sobel” Luz shouts and everyone starts laughing their asses off. “SShhh, shut up everyone” he says. “A fence,sir. It’s a barbed wire fence” you hear captain Sobel answer. “Oh that dog just ain’t gonna hunt” Luz shouts back “sshhhh, quiet” he says to the group “Now, you cut that fence and get this goddamn platoon on the move!” Luz shouts at Sobel and you could’t help but fall more in love with this big man child. “Like what you see, (Y/L/N)” you hear Luz ask with a big smirk on his face. You can feel the warmth reach your cheeks and ears. “Shut up, Luz” you smack him on the arm. “Ohh, someone’s blushing” he says and pushes you lightly. ‘Shit, I really like this man’ you think to yourself as you can finally start to move. 

When you and the rest of the battalion made it to the location of your base, you let out a breath you didn’t even know you were holding. You had just put all your stuff away in your room, taken a shower and went outside to see what your friends were doing. You lit your cigarette and made your way over to what looked like a basketball game between Muck, Perconte and Malarkey and Bull. Luz, Toye, Guarnere, Babe and Liebgott were sitting on a bench under a tree watching, cheering drinking and smoking. 

When they see you walking around alone,  you hear Liebgott yell “(Y/L/N), come join us over here!” You smile and make your way over to the men that had now become your second family. “ ‘Sup schmucks?" you joke as you sat down next to Babe. “Hello, beautiful” Luz says with a cigarette hanging from his mouth and gives you an award winning smile making your knees weak. “Hello handsome, missed me?” you say back,  taking a sip from your beer. “Of course I did, you’re the highlight of the day” he says and turned his head to Guarnere how just said something making the rest of the group laugh. 

When it got dark outside and everyone started to make their ways inside you decided to stay a little while longer, enjoying the silence and fresh air. You lit a cigarette and take a long drag while leaning against the wall of the building you were suposed to be sleeping in. Suddenly you felt a presence behind you making you jump and turn around. “It’s just me (Y/N), it’s just me” you hear George say as he also lit a cigarette. “Jesus George, you scared the living hell out of me!” you say and smack his arm lightly. 

He’s now standing beside you and lets out a small chuckle while turning his head down towards you, admiring the sight infront of him. “You look beautiful tonight (Y/N)” he says and looks right into your eyes making you blush and the butterflies go crazy in your stomach. “Thank you Luz” you say and take a deep breath before speaking up again. 

“You know talking to you, flirting makes all this, the war, feel easier to process. We are going to see so much death everywhere and so many of our friends are going to die, but when I think of you I feel like I get a reason to keep going. I think I’m in love with you, George. And that scares the living hell out of me because nether one of us know if we live tomorrow or the day after or the day after that” you look at the ground, kicking a rock that was laying infront of your shoe scared to look up to see his reaction. He takes his hand and gently turn your head up so you’re now making eye contact. 

“I feel the same thing (Y/N). I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have you in my life. Ever since the training in Toccoa started, I’ve had my eyes on you. The way your forehead wrinkles when you concentrate or the way you throw your head back when you laugh. I feel like I can’t live without having you in my life” He answers not breaking eye contact once. He’s eyes looks down at your lips then back to where they were moments before. He leans down slowly, pulling you in for a kiss. It felt like fireworks exploded and you had never been as happy as you were now. He gently pulls you even closer and deepens the kiss. He puts his hands around your waist and you  put yours in his hair. 

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this” he says as they pull away slightly to get some air. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this” you answer back putting your head on his chest. He gently strokes your back, while the two of you stand like that just enjoying the moment knowing you might not have many days left before all hell breaks loose.
