|| Rushed drabble of a fluffy domestic interaction between our fave ship! Up to you whether you see it as them in a relationship, or them as roommate-friendship but definitely on the cusp of figuring out their feelings.
Grace glanced up to see Doc walking in with a bouquet of flowers. Her blue eyes immediately snapped to the colour display of petals and her brows raised as she glanced back over at him.
"Why are you holding flowers? You look ridiculous."
"You know...most women fawn over a man who gifts them flowers."
"Fawn? In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a deer-"
"Oh I'm well aware."
"- And if I wanted flowers, I'd go out and buy myself some."
"What do you have against flowers?"
"They wilt and die? It's a waste of money, Timothy."
"Guess I'll go get my money back then..."
Their conversation had been light and there was no dig at one another whatsoever. To others on the outside, it may seem like Grace was being ungrateful but Doc knew Grace. He knew she wasn't allowing herself to be soft. He'd stand his ground and argue with her until he won.
Just as predicted, Grace was quick to stand up and snatch the bouquet of colorful flowers of his hand before he could turn around and leave.
"The hell you will."
Doc held back the smug smile but his blue eyes sparkled with that knowing look, watching as Grace sighed softly as her own eyes glanced over the flowers once more.
Holding the flowers close to her, she leaned up a little and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek, "It looks like a fairy threw up."
Doc chuckled, half-expecting a 'thank you' and a softer reaction instead of the typical Grace comment.
He followed her into the kitchen as she located a glass pitcher for a makeshift vase, undid the bouquet packaging, and situated the flowers in the pitcher.
When she finished making sure all the stems were in the water (that's as much flower-arranging as you're going to get from her), Doc came up beside her, placing his right hand down on the benchtop to steady himself, his left shoulder nudging hers.
Unlike before, his voice was much lower, "You're allowed to be soft, Grace. It doesn't make you weak."
Her hands stilled when he called her out, and she kept her gaze on the fairy atrocity, hands lowering to the benchtop and fingers loosely curling into her palm.
"...I know."
The two were quiet for a moment. Neither moving from their positions. But, as always, there was nothing uncomfortable about it. Eventually, Doc broke the silence, "Happy Valentine's Day, Grace."
Her blue eyes finally met his and she smiled softly. "Happy Valentines Day, Tim."
Turning her body to face him, she wrapped her arms around his waist. He was quick to place a kiss on her forehead before wrapping his own arms around her and resting his cheek on head. Both content in the embrace.
They don't need much in their relationship. But what they have, their content with.
"Thank you." came the softer reply Tim was expecting. His own lips turning into a soft smile that Grace couldn't see. But she felt it through the way he tightened his arms around her.
|| If you'd like me to tag you in Doc x Grace stuff, let me know!
I thought I'd post this now in case I don't get a chance to revisit it with a proper one-shot drabble before Valentines.
Also if you see this as roommates-friendship... think of it as Grace recently having broken up with someone she was seeing. Did Doc do this to cheer her up? or because he doesn't realise he has feelings for her? Or both? You decide.
I’m so excited!!! I would love one! I’m 4’11, curvy-fit, green eyes and black and blond long hair. Have been told I’m elf-ish which contributes to my nickname of Puck. Extremely blunt, no filter. I’m quiet unless I am comfortable, and my personality tends to change depending on who I am around. I can be bossy and come off as a real b*tch. I’m a big fan of yoga pants and tank tops, jeeps, and 80s rock. Please feel free to surprise me out of any of the three if that’s okay!!!

I ship you with...
Corporal Ray Person!
Is it any surprise that you and Ray hit it off? You both share the same sense of humor and finding that compatibility is hard. Especially when you both toe the boundary of being extremely inappropriate. Something you both pride yourselves on.
When you both are together, it's a mixed feeling of 'Oh not these two' and 'thank god' because you both encourage each other badly but you're also a distraction to each other, thus keeping Ray from annoying other people XD
Dropping the crude humor, you both make a gorgeous couple. Even Brad wonders how a whiskey-tango inbred trailer skunk managed to look decent standing next to you. Hell, he's still processing how someone fell in love with this brown-eyed scrawny-ass boy.
Your 1920s style has a slight effect on Ray. He, very subtly, starts dressing just a little better. It seems he's actively making the effort to look presentable. He's dropped the baggy gangster look and wears a bit more form-fitting clothing (mostly when out on dates, around the house is a different story).
It always surprises him with how small your frame is. Not just height, but your build. He might be a little concerned that you ought to eat a little more but for now... you're the perfect size that he can still lift you up against the wall or up on the bench. (He's strong-ish but still scrawny himself).
God if your fiery attitude doesn't turn him on... If you're both arguing, that's a different story... but if you're going off at someone (who may have said a remark against Ray. He may not be the most Brad Pitt handsome kinda guy but he's still relatively handsome... and someone said you could do better...) He loves watching you go off at them. Only interfering when he's worried it'll escalate beyond words of insult.
Watching you get angry over things he agrees with, such as when he's reiterating the bullshit command they had to deal with. You're both running your mouths over it. It's the best kind of vent.
He enjoys listening to you vent over stupid things that have happened to you at work, or regarding studies or whatever the case may be.
You both have your quieter moments, and that's okay. It's not always a bad thing. Ray isn't always major buzzing energy.
Especially at home. Just quiet little "Hey's" as you pass each other by. But those 'Hey's' are said with a lot of feelings in the tone.
You both flirt. Heavily. Openly. Without shame. At home..and in public. You're both deeply and madly in love with each other. And just because you guys have been together for years, why should the flirting stop? It doesn't. You both still flirt like you're trying to impress one another for the first time.
It's also relationship goal-setting for others. Just because you're married, doesn't give you the right to stop putting in the effort. Treat your love like it's the first time. Never forget that honeymoon phase. Despite the jokes of Ray being trailer-trash... he really does set the example. You just...gotta squint between the inappropriate humour and dirty flirting XD
Ray never getting tired of always saying "Morning beautiful."
Every. Single. Morning. (He's just happy in love. Happy to have someone love him and he's not taking any chances in ruining that).
You're both very observant of each other. Despite you both sharing the same personality traits, you can always tell when the other one is feeling down or uncomfortable.
Ray will always do his best to pick up on these things. He can be joking and shit with the other Marines over a beer but would look at you, see you not vibing for whatever reason, and will excuse himself from the group.
He'll sit next to you, ask you what's wrong, and won't take 'Nothing' for an answer.
If you're not feeling well and only chose to go out for Ray's sake, he'll take you home. If you're just not up for company regardless and basically don't want to be there (though, knowing you, there's always a valid reason), he'll take you home.
"Later fuckers!", "Whoo! Ray! Get some! Yeah!" the group of friends will yell as Ray exits it with an arm around you. Rays other hand flips them off and continues to flip them off until you're both out of sight.
Like I said, he's very observant. So once you're both home, he'll set you up with whatever makes you comfortable. If you're feeling sick... straight to bed (you both have a television in the bedroom so he'll sit with you and watch your comfort shows/movies). He'll bring snacks, make sure you're keeping up your fluids and will make sure you eat a proper meal. Even if it's just soup.
And if it's that time of the month... he'll do you a hot water bottle.
If it's simply you're just feeling down and not great company, he'll wrap you up with your favorite blankie, your favorite stuffed teddy and snuggle up to you. If your head is resting on his lap, he'll run his fingers through your dark golden locks.
The thing Ray loves most about you? You don't try to change him.
The thing the Marines love about you dating Ray? You've accepted him for who he is and not looking to change him. They're grateful for that.
Ray can be who he is without worrying about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing and upsetting you and being given that cold shoulder or silent treatment. He loves that you're not the type of woman to do that.
But if he does say something out of line, pull him up on it. But he'd be quick to realise because he'd see your face drop and immediately know he pushed the boundary or said something that made you uncomfortable. Those big brown eyes of his immediately look like a lost puppy dog. The last thing he ever wants to do to you is make you uncomfortable.
He'd apologise. Straight away. "I'm sorry. I know I say stupid shit but that was...pretty fucking stupid. I'm sorry." He genuinely meant it. You can't stay mad at him. He knows he's hurt and upset you. Whether you feel this intensely or mildly, he's still preparing for a soft afternoon in to make it up to you.
He will pull you in for a hug and press a kiss to your temple as he does so, murmuring another small "I'm sorry."
You mentioned you loved hairdressing.... Not sure whether that means going to the hairdressers or actually doing the hairdressing yourself... but... he'd support any hair decision you make (Don't come to him asking 'Will this suit me?' because the answer will always be 'Yes'. He's biased. He loves and adores you. You can pull off anything because you're so stunning, beautiful, and sexy to him).
If you do hairdressing... Ray will always get his hair trimmed down by you. Especially if it's grown too long and 'Ray, you need a haircut.', 'You're the hairdresser.'
When it comes to decorating, either with baking, interior designing or interior designing, Ray does not mess with it. You know what you're doing. He's just here to support your many trips to Target and back. He loves it though. When asked about what you're up to if you're not catching up with friends with Ray, he's just "I don't know. Y/N takes care of it." or "I don't know. She's swapped the colors out from white to another white." (you went from cream to off-white).
He acts like he's a typical male who doesn't know what the fuck is going on (because he is) but he's very proud and supportive and enjoys talking about you and your latest decorating endeavors around the house.
There's always desserts at your house. And if you've been invited to a dinner, you're the one who brings the desserts. Ray does the cooking (He's not the greatest but he can cook simple meals and a basic roast but nothing too fancy). You do the dessert.
Sometimes you'll both bake together - if Ray isn't distracting you or dipping his finger into the batter mix.
He's obsessed about you and never shuts up about you.

BONUS: Almost shipped you with....
Anthony 'Manimal' Jacks
Hear me out...
The boy is disgusting but that's Marine Manimal we see. Think about the man outside of the uniform....
Once he had enough money, he'd get his teeth fixed.
He's just as dirty-minded as you so...things, intimately, would be wild. A lot of exploring, adventure, and all within consent, of course.
He'd worship the ground you walked on.
Wouldn't care about your 1920s style. You do you. He might be a little embarrassed at first. but he gets over himself. He's just not used to seeing people embrace out-of-fashion things. It becomes one of the things he's grown to love about you.
If he goes on another tour, he'd lowkey have a little insecurity regarding you leaving him while he's overseas. You can't even promise marriage because he was married when his wife decided to divorce him. But you do what you can to promise him and try to keep his insecurities away.
Plus he's genuinely quiet when he's not hanging out with the boys. Both your relaxed and quiet demeanors complement each other.
He's been hurt and he needs a chance at love again.
You're enough woman for him to the point where he wouldn't look at another woman (*ahem* female soldier *ahem*).
He loves when Mail Call comes because you always draft the longest and meaningful letters. It gives him something to look forward to, knowing he's coming home to you.

Ray loves going down on you. He's openly admitted that while overseas. And as stated, it's the first thing he does when he gets home. He's had nothing but MREs... he's dying for a proper meal if you catch my drift.
Your hair is the perfect length to thread his fingers through and grip. Especially with you on your knees, returning the favour of him going down on you...
He's so horny for you. You'll need to swat him away. Because any chance he'll get, he's pulling you against him as his hands wander down your hips and squeeze your ass.
Baking in the kitchen never goes according to plan. When I said Ray was a distraction... I also meant he was a distraction. Either end up on the floor with him eating you out or wasting the cake batter of you and licking it off. Or you're up against the fridge with your moans drowning out the soft hum of the fridge... or he has you bent over the kitchen counter, slamming into you with his flour-covered hand gripping your hair.
Can I get a generation kill ship? I'm 5'3, medium length brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. Im kind of curvy and chubby, but fit. Im generally quiet and sweet. Bjt when I'm with my closest friends I'm a crackhead. Though, I am wicked caring but if I'm pissed enough I will turn into a very scary 5'3 gremlin. I love the military, and Im planning on joining the Marines or the Navy. I can be very emotionally closed off at times and I have trust issues to the MAX. Thank you❤
Your perfect match would be Garza. He’d absolutely support you in your effort to join the military. He would make your training fun so you can pass your fitness tests with flying colors.
Garza would 1000% thrive on your energy. He is all for your spunk. “Give it to them baby!” He would shout as you chewed someone out in your pissed off rage.
Garza would be a kind partner. He’d surprise you with flowers at work. If you had a bad day he would order your favorite take out so you two could have a quiet night in.
This all said, you would both be teased for being the adorably sweet couple because you are both the biggest sweethearts.
