Do this whenever you have the time to, for the love letters could i get Skip Muck, but if you don't write for him, then our one and only George Luz, no pressure whatsoever!!
ALEXI THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!
I've never written for Skip before but honestly I had so much fun writing this!!! Thank you for requesting (and for your patience!) and I hope you enjoy it!!! 🩷💕✨
8 May 1945
Alexi my beloved!
The Germans just surrendered! The war over here is OVER! They said we’re gonna get re-deployed to go fight in the Pacific, but if we have enough points we can go home! You get points from being wounded and how long you have been fighting, and guess who has enough points to come home to the person he loves most in this world!
IT’S ALEX PENK-
Sorry, Penk took my pen
It’s ME! I’m coming home to you Alexi! We can finally go to the soda shop together again! And play cards until 3 in the morning, and play pranks on those fuddy-duddies in your neighborhood.
So, I know that this would be better coming from me in person, but knowing I’m coming home, I can’t keep it inside any longer. Alexi, when I say I love you, I don’t just mean it as close friends. I’m in love with you. I’ve been in love with you since before I left for Toccoa, but I was too afraid to say anything. I didn’t want to say anything while I was in Europe in case anything happened to me.
I’m so scared to tell you this. If you don’t feel the same way, please just pretend I never wrote this, because to lose you as my best friend would hurt more than any hit I took during the war. Thinking about you has been the only thing keeping me going over here. My favorite memory to think about is one of the last days before I left - you and I were sitting on the roof of your house. The sky had more stars than I’d ever seen before. There was a point when I looked over at you, and you were looking up at the stars, you just looked so ethereal and wonderful. I knew then I had more than just a little crush on my best friend.
The way you are so unapologetically yourself, your compassion, your honesty, your love for shenanigans and chaos, the way we just click when we're together and the fact that you accept me just how I am are just a small part of why I have fallen in love with you. When I get home, I would be honored to take you out to dinner and a movie as more than friends, if that’s ok with you. Again, if you do not feel the same way, please just forget I ever wrote this. I would rather have you in my life as my best friend than lose you like this.
I love you Alexi, I’ll see you soon,
Skip
*scribbled at the bottom of the paper*
Please go out on a date with him, he won’t shut up about you.
3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?
Okay so I have 3 more movies I could watch forever being The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Mamma Mia!
4. what’s an inside joke you have with your family or friends?
My grandad will literally come up with new nicknames for me every week while my uncle and I have dinner time discussions like top 5 underrated movies by this actor, you can bring this famous person back to life but would have to sacrifice other one, who would it be and why, best 3 silly words and those things, we are pretty cool
14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?
deep dive!!! but there is no fucking way you'll have me on those insane pressure zones deep down undewater, the ocean freaks me out so much, sorry Webster
Names Alexi, He/Him, INFP-T, love languages are physical affection and words of affirmation, my hobbies include: writing (actually trying to now), drawing, and playing the saxophone, some of my goals are to get into college to become a teacher, some my interests are history, animals and dinosaurs, what i look for in a partner is someone who is funny, can keep up with my chaos and just an all around fun time, but they understand my issues that i deal with (specifically my anger and my self-esteem), and smth that can be taken accounted for, i'm 5'5, and you can use any of the guys idk rlly care, hope this makes sense
Aaaaaaa thank you so much for the ship request Alexi!!!!! You’re amazing 🥺❤️💖 (Also thank you so much for your patience lol)
So this one came to me surprisingly quick but honestly it just fits!!
I ship you with….
Don Malarkey!!
A song from my Liked Songs that reminds me of y’all - Best Day of My Life by American Authors
How y’all met
So picture this - it’s Don and Alton in the motorcycle, living their best lives
You’re walking home from the store just vibing and daydreaming
Until ZOOOM they almost hit you and you get knocked on your ass
Of course they immediately pull over and Don just SPRINTS over to you
Don kneels next to you and makes sure you’re okay but when he makes eye contact with you for the first time he’s just
🥺🥺🥺
Completely and utterly smitten
“Can I walk with you the rest of the way? Let me carry your bag to make up for what just happened!”
Of course how can you say no to Baby Boy so of course you hand your backpack over to him and y’all start walking together and talking
There’s just an instant connection y’all can’t stop laughing and talking about everything under the sun, eventually, he subtly takes your hand in his for the rest of the way
Both of y’all are super sad when you get to your place
Don just looks at you with the sweetest eyes and goes “I’d love to see you again”
Y’all start just taking walks together almost every day and Muck and Penkala are so tired of just HOW MUCH Don talks about you, like sweet boy can’t get you out of his mind
How he knew he loves you
Ok so y’all are out to dinner and you notice fucking soBEL LIKE WTF H O W
But you and Don just look at each other and you both know you’re about to cause some CHAOS
So y’all hatch this perfect prank on Sobel
Long story short Sobel is covered in chocolate sundae and the two of you are running away from the restaurant laughing your asses off
Don just looks at you and… your laugh, your smile, how you two just work so well together
He tells you right then and there how much he loves you
Both of you just feel so overwhelmed with the feeling of like I Found My Person
You share a kiss and it's simultaneously so gentle but so passionate
Everything in that moment is just perfect
A conflict in your relationship and how y’all resolved it
Ok so I see it happening with you and Don are out with Muck and Penkala
The three of them are being themselves and laughing together
You were for a while but then your Social Battery dies
So of course you lean over to Don
“Hey babe, can we please go home?”
“Yeah in a minute love” he quickly replied before getting back to Muck and Penkala
…That's the third time he's said that
So you get frustrated and just walk out on your own and start walking home
Your intrusive thoughts start getting the better of you… did he really wanna spend time with you? Is he tired of you??
You're so swept up in your thoughts you don't hear Don running after you
“Love? What happened? Where’re you going??” poor boy is Genuinely Confused
Which you’re not sure if that makes things better or worse
Either way, you didn’t want him to see that you were hurt, so you turned it into anger
“What do you fucking want?” You turn around and shoot at him
He just has this hurt puppy look as he goes “What happened??”
“Just leave me alone” you try to keep walking but you feel him grab your arm and turn you around
“Please tell me what I did and I’ll do everything I can to make it better” Don just puts a hand on your cheek and his eyes are searching yours, begging for an answer
You see the concern and love in his eyes and you just break
Sobs wrack your body as Don hugs you tight, just being there for you while you let it all out
After a little bit you’re able to get out that you just felt ignored and that he preferred Muck and Penkala to you and he just
He realizes what he did and just places his forehead on yours
“My love, I’m so, so sorry… I should never have done that, we should’ve just gone home the first time you asked… how can I make it up to you??”
You just smile and ask, “...can we go home?”
Don just smiles and sweeps you up, carrying you the rest of the way to your place
… Muck and Penkala stayed waiting for you and Don to come back assuming that y’all just went to the bathroom
Your Happily Ever After
Most wholesome relationship known to man
Like this man will do ANYTHING to see you smile
You mention physical touch is your love language?
He’s making sure to have an arm around you, his hand on your back, giving you kisses ALL THE FREAKING TIME LIKE STOP IT'S GROSS BUT CUTE
He also just feels so comfortable and safe with you
Like the fact that y’all’s chaotic energies just blend so perfectly, he knows he won’t scare you away and it’s the best feeling in the world
Also he will listen to you talk about animals and dinosaurs for HOURS
Not only does he just love the sound of your voice but just how much you know it’s amazing to him
You wind up teaching him so much it’s basically like your first time being a teacher and Don’s the student and it’s the Best
A silly headcanon about your relationship
Y’all prank each other all day every day and it’s too cuTE
(obviously done with tact like if one of you is going through a rough patch of course a truce is declared)
But like
Powder in the hair dryer? Check; plastic wrap in the hallway? Check!
One of the best ones was when you gave Don a homemade candy apple
He took a GIANT bite
‘Twas an onion
He’s still plotting the perfect way to get you back…
If you get this, answer with three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs! anon or not, doesn't matter, lets get to know the person behind the blog <3
@executethyself35 @blueberry-ovaries thank you everyone for the asks!!! I had more asks than I realized so I'll be putting all my facts for these in one post so I don't spam!! 😂❤️
My favorite food is chicken nuggets but I also have a GIANT sweet tooth
I'm not super good at it but I love to draw!!
I LOVE the ocean (especially sharks)!! I almost changed my major to marine biology in college!!
I have one tattoo but I want more! It's a watercolor rose with the phrase Jezu Ufam Tobie (Jesus I trust in You in Polish (the saint associated with the phrase is Polish!))
I LOVE rollercoasters!! My favorite is Verbolten at Busch Gardens in Virginia!
I love the city! My dream home is a luxury apartment with big windows where I can see the city every day ❤️
I took three semesters of German and I remember NONE of it
My dream vacation is going to Europe! Specifically the warmer/Mediterranean countries like Portugal, Spain, and Italy!
The first thing I said to my sibling @dontirrigateme when we finished Band of Brothers for the first time was "well we have to rewatch it!" 🤣
I prefer mornings but i HATE getting up early lmao
My username is a line from the Queen song I'm Going Slightly Mad!
A lot of people tend to assume I'm a part of the LGBT community, which is hilarious to me because I have 7 best friends and each of them is a part of the LGBT community 🤣💕
Thank you all so much for the asks and apologies for the delay!!! I love you all dearly and hope you're doing well 🥰❤️💕✨
Emily, in your fic, if the guys ever found tumblr, we'd all be done for, we would all die, *news reporter voice* "Millions from around the world dead from unknown causes, the one thing all these people had in common was a love for the HBO WW2 miniseries based off of Stephen Ambrose's book by the same name, "Band of Brothers", more news at 10"
BRO WHEN I TELL YOU MY SOUL WOULD LEAVE MY BODY
Also though imagine them being so endeared by everything we make/say about them?
"Look at my babygirl!!" "ASDDF MY POOKIE BABY BOY" "Brb going feral for this man" "He's too pretty for words!!"
Like I TOTALLY imagine specifically Winters, Malarkey, and Luz (maybe secretly Toye but he'd NEVER admit it) just thinking everything we say is the absolute cutest and they just get ten years added to their lives
Definitely focusing on this and not the idea of them finding some of the more feral things on here 🤣
