Story request by mileoh! It was really fun writing this
_____________________________You were set on the fact that he didn't see you you saw him, even though that may not have even been true. You were pretty sure he didn't even see you as a friend. It was hard to act normal around him, since every time you were near him your heart would beat 50 times faster. You would try your best to not talk to him, but you couldn't help it when you did. He was just... too irresistible.
There was one thing though. The one thing to makeyour blood boil. The way that Scout would flirt with Miss Pauling. Sure you weren't dating him, and he didn't know that you liked him, but you couldn't help it. It was so frustrating seeing the guy you like to flirt with someone else. Sure Miss Pauling was pretty, and could read, but you just couldn't see her with scout.
One day, when Miss Pauling was at the base, giving instructions and such, scout was trying to goof off with her... and flirt with her. Who wouldn't, good question, because no other merc in the base would. You couldn't understand why scout would even try. Yeah, she was pretty and smart, but she was way outta his league and- and, oh well. There was nothing you could do about it except try and look away and not start yelling.
_Scout was really cute in the way he would flirt, you wished that he would flirt with you. There were many times where you would be doing something and just stop because you started daydreaming about how, if you could be with him, he would flirt with you all the time. Man, if he would just look at you the way he looked at Miss Pauling you would just die. Then you would have to snap out of it because soldier would be yelling at you to finish what you started.
_Miss Pauling was clearly not having any of the flirting, though. She would roll her eyes at every bad pickup line and ignore the seemingly desperate attempts to get her to kiss scout. Her actions gave you some hope but every time you would look back at scout, you would be discouraged again. It would be so painful to see the one you love falling for someone else, but it wasnt your place to try to stop him.

After a while, you finally worked up the courage to tell scout about your feelings, so much for the 'it's not my place to interfere with scout's efforts' thing. As you walked up to scout, you saw Miss Pauling actually laugh at one of scout's jokes. You glared at the scene, your feelings turning from nervous to a jealousy. The more you walked and watched, the the more jealous you got. Eventually that jealousy turned to anger as she continued to actually enjoy a few of his jokes.
"Hey scout, I gotta talk to you, " you told scout through gritted teeth. He looked over to you and rolled his eyes.
"Look man, can'tcha see I'm busy, " he scoffed, tilting his head to gesturing to Miss Pauling. You rolled your eyes and glared at him as you grabbed his ear and dragged him into a different room. Once the two of you were alone you you crossed your arms and turned to him.
"You need to leave her alone, " you growled. "she obviously doesn't want you to bother her!"
"What does it matter to you, " he snapped, clearly upset now. "Plus, she was clearly startn' to like it! You just ruined it, man!" The two of you yelled at each other for a while, both of you getting more and more angry and upset.
"Well it's not my fault that you're so cute, " eventually you screamed. "I can't help the fact that I can't handle it when you flirt with her!" After that. Everything went silent and scout took a step back. After a while, scout finally stutterd out a response.
"Wh-what are you talking about, " he asked taken very aback. "That's pretty gay. And I thought you hated me like everyone else. You ignore me all the time." You bit your lip and chose your words very carefully.
"I- I don't hate you Scout... I just didnt want you to think that I was a weirdo or something. I -I- I shouldn't have said anything. I'd better go, " you told him. Your eyes watered and your face was red. You pushed past the bostonian and grabbed the doorknob. Before you could twist it however, scout grabbed your hand and pulled you back.
"Hey, it's okay," he told you, his voice soft. "I feel the same way. The only reason I flirt with Miss Pauling is because I thought you hated me. Now that I know that definitely isn't the case, I can finally do this." He pulled you over to him and kissed you. At first you were shocked but eventually you leaned into the kiss. After a while, the two of you ended the makeout session.
"Wow that was- I mean I never- you were, " you couldn't find the exact words to describe the experience. But then, you rememberd that you were in the 70's and people didn't really like gay people. "We aren't telling anyone." Scout nodded in agreement and poked your nose.
"Alright, let's go, " he said. You nodded and let go of his hand.
"Well, I love ya Boston Boy."
