How The Platoon Characters Comfort You
Requested by anon!
Elias (Sweet daddy)
He has a way of just wrapping you up in his arms, and holding you until you’ve cried it all out. When you’re done, he’d want to hear all about your troubles. He’d always have kind words to offer, as well. You’d tell him all about why you’re crying or why you’re sad, and he’d listen for as long as it took. Then he’d offer some sage advice, telling you just what you didn’t know you needed to hear, and it would end with tender kissing. This might also lead to tender sex, depending on how well adjusted you are in the moment.
Chris (Shy baby boi)
He’d be super worried right off the bat, wondering if there’s anything he can do to make it right. You’d assure him that’s not necessary, but you’re flattered by his eagerness to make you feel better. He’d let you hug him for as long as you need to, and while comforting words aren’t really his strong suit, he’ll try his best, if anything just repeating ‘I’m here, it’s okay’ until you’re alright. He’d improvise, doing anything that seems to be working to get you feeling better-- his go to thing is to make jokes, make you laugh until you’re smiling and giggling again. He tells you how much he loves your laugh.
O’Neil (Asshole daddy)
His whole facade would just drop, and he’d immediately go into panic mode. “Woah woah woah, what’s wrong? Did someone do something? Are you okay?” He’d ask you a billion questions, kind of overloading you, but eventually he’d realize you just need him to comfort you. He’s not a master at comfort either, but he’d take you to his private quarters, trying to think of anything to make you feel better. He settles on taking your mind off whatever’s upsetting you-- he suggests a game of strip poker.
Barnes (Grumpy daddy)
Barnes gets very uncomfortable when anyone needs him to be sympathetic or emotional. He is very intuitive though, and he’d know immediately if you’re upset. He’d try to say something, and it’d come out awkward, gruff or insensitive, like “Something bothering you? Well... it shouldn’t, god dammit.” In trying to comfort you, he’d probably end up making you cry harder, which he feels immeasurably bad for, and follows you to apologize. When he finally sits down with you, he tells you he’s not good at this stuff, and shares a bottle of whiskey with you, telling you this is as good a time as any to drink. You think this is the most affectionate you’ve seen him yet.
King (Sassy daddy)
King is the type to do everything right when you need him. He’d hold you, rock you, tell you everything’s going to be just fine. He’d promise you nothing would hurt you or get you upset anymore as long as he’s around. If you still don’t feel so great, he’d let you lay on him under the stars, telling you soothing stories of back home for hours while he strokes your hair. Hearing his calming voice until the morning light comes up puts you to sleep, and makes you feel at peace with everything.
Rhah (Bear hug daddy)
When faced with a crying woman, Rhah’s first instinct is to HUG. He gives you a giant hug, and doesn’t mind how long you stay on his chest-- he will hug you for hours if need be. He will let you fall asleep on him. As far as he’s concerned, hugging is the best remedy to anything-- if anyone in the platoon asks him to do something while you’re still snuggling him, he tells them promptly to fuck off. He has a mission, and he will not abandon it.
Lerner (Pure baby boi)
He’d be one to blindly offer to beat someone up for making you feel bad, even though he’d never win in any fight. He’d be just fuming that anyone or anything made his girl feel this way, and even when you’d assure him it would be fine, he’d still want to do something about it. When he accepts finally that he can’t, he just sits with you, rubbing your back and listing off reasons why you shouldn’t focus on the thing getting you down. He reminds you how amazing a person you are, how beautiful you are, and tells you you’ll always have him.
