How The Platoon Characters React To You Saying I Love You
Elias (Sweet daddy)
Elias would be a little surprised at first, since he usually just has his mind on the job. He’s had a crush on your for a while though, and he’s always thought you didn’t return the feelings, so he never said anything to you.
So when you finally tell him, that huge smile would show as he just FILLS with happiness.
“Y'know... you’re the first girl who’s ever told me that.”
You’d smile, cupping his cheeks. “I hope I’m the last.”
Oh, and saying this now always leads to sex.
Chris (Shy baby boi)
Chris would turn into a stuttering mess. He’d be blushing, and nervous, and he’d feel that this was the type of shit he avoided college for, but he’d be so utterly head over heels for you that he’d forget how to be cool for a second.
You’d be carding your fingers through his hair one night, and you’d just say it. He’d be speechless, then when he tries to talk, it’s too fast or garbled. He’d eventually say:
“Why’d you pick me? When there’s a billion better guys out there?”
You’d just smile, and kiss his cheek. “I want you.”
O’Neil (Asshole daddy)
If you tell O’Neil you love him for the first time in front of other people, he’d be insufferable.
“Of course you do, baby, of course you do. Hell, I knew that the minute you and I hopped in bed and you started screaming my name, for Christ sake, when I had ya in the O’Neil death grip. Ya know what I mean. Uh huh, uh huh.”
But in private later, he’d be your lap dog, following you around asking constantly, “You mean it? You actually mean you love me? Like, really? Like, love love me? Baby? Huh?”
Barnes (Grumpy daddy)
Barnes would flat out reject it. He’d tell you you were delusional, that you were a little girl that had a stupid, unrealistic view of life, and that love just isn’t possible for him.
He’d feel bad about hurting your feelings though, drink a little, then come see you, apologizing and explaining that he’s put up barriers over the years and wasn’t used to someone being so gentle with him. You’d understand, leaning forward and kissing him.
He’d smirk. “I could get used to that.”
King (Sassy daddy)
King would set off in a fit of happy laughter, wrapping his arms around you. He’d pick you up, spin you around, and yell to everybody what you said.
“SHE LOVES ME! Well, why didn’t you tell me earlier, honey? You and me, we gonna get up to some real shit together, now that we’re tight.”
He’d write you little love letters too, and deliver them personally. Sometimes he’d read them aloud, and it would always end in both of you repeating many ‘I love you’s.
Rhah (Bear hug daddy)
The first time you tell this big lovable boi you love him, he’d sit you down and hand you his weed pipe, encouraging you to take some.
“Alright. You love me, huh? Let me tell you what love is, darling... love is a vast ocean of heartache, bound to not one soul, but two. Love is an abyss, put on Earth by God to mock us, to taunt us, and--”
“Rhah? Shut up and kiss me.”
He’d stare at you, and frown. “Right.” Then he’d grin, laughing salaciously as he scoops you into your arms and dips you, pulling you in for a good make out session.
Lerner (Pure baby boi)
Lerner would look up from whatever he was doing, surprised.
“You love me?” He’d get a little nervous, never having had a serious girlfriend before. “W-well... that’s great! I, uh... I love you too.” He’d come over to you, and give a little smile. “What now?”
“Now, you can kiss me.”
“Oh. Right,” he’d take you in his arms, and give you the best, most passionate kiss you’d ever felt.
