Band of Brothers Preferences and Imagines

Joe Leibgott Imagine #4

AN: This imagine was requested by @hannahroest. Idk how I feel about it but, and I hope you love reading it! I put me on spin on it too.

   As I worked at Camp Toccoa in order to get my Jump Wings, being the only woman was not as easy as I thought it would. I was placed within Easy Company, and most of the men seemed nice. In the beginning of me arriving at the camp, most of the men didn't really know what to think of me. They didn't talk to me all that much, and some of them pulled the sexism card where they would make jokes or poke fun when we were doing PT or doing obstacle courses. Though, as soon as they realized how I just wanted to do my part in the war like they did, and that I was just as dedicated as they were. They began to warm up to me. And soon they started welcoming me more and more through time. I was just as strong as the other men that filled this camp. I might be smaller than most men and I might be a woman, but I made sure it was known by all in Camp Toccoa that I was capable of anything. And my gender meant nothing. I wished to be treated the same. Of course, men from other companies didn't get that hint, or they simply didn't want to. Especially Dog Company. Who just loved to shout comments whenever they see me with the rest of Easy Company. Though, I tried to not let it get to me. They were just dumb, opinionated men that were just mad they couldn't get in my pants. That's all.

   I got close with all of Easy Company. They all became like my big brothers. Besides the point that it took about a month and a half for them to even to consider getting to know me. Though, later is better than never right? They all meant well, and it was funny how the protected me at times. Especially my close friend Joe Leibgott. Him and I got the closest out of everyone. Probably because both us soon to be Paratroopers were the more fired up and witty of the company. And that is basically how we became friends. He made a comment to me about being a woman and when I turned around and gave back the exact same energy, he gave me a slight shocked expression. But that led to a smile forming on his face which he then introduced himself. And from then on, our bond began to blossom. And now, Joe and I were inseparable. Two peas in a pod pretty much. 

  Joe was always there with me. And if someone was looking for me, they would just ask where Joe was. Or vice versa. The company knew about how close we were and often teased us about it. Saying that we might as well dated already. I would be lying if I said I didn't at least have a little feelings for Mr. Leibgott. I mean, with how close we have been for some time now, it isn't all that big of a surprise. I mean, have you seen the man? He was extremely attractive none the least. Though, when the guys made those jokes, I just laughed them off. Pushing the secret wishes that those jokes would become reality into the back of my head. There was no space for falling in love and getting into a relationship here. We are in the middle of a war! So I just kept the feelings to myself and no one else.

   Though, there was just one person that knew my feelings for Joseph. Mr. Denver Randleman. Or Bull. The rather large man was actually quite sweet and I would say my second best friend in the company. In which i told him everything. I mean, I also tell Joe everything, but I'm not trying to tell him my feelings. When I told Bull he wasn't really surprised, but in a way he was. All the time I just pushed the jokes aside and laughed them off. Never acting defensive or anything. And it seemed that I was just best friends with Joseph. Though, Bull, along with many other of the Easy Company men, believed that it would be just a matter of time until one of fell for one another. And it seems it would just so happen to be me. And on another note, I am much better at hiding my emotions than I thought. I knew Bull would never say anything. But, I knew he would tease me and poke fun when he got the chance. Especially behind Joe's back just to get me all flustered. It was okay though. I knew he meant no harm by it and it was just in good fun.

  Time passed, maybe about a few months or so. The companies had been jointed together in a large bar. We all were on our weekend passes. It was nice, were all in our dress green uniforms, looking nice. I wish I was given the pants like all the men had. I was given a form fitting pencil skirt and pair of black pumps along with my blazer and dress shirt. My hair done in neat curls instead of a tight bun. Blush, mascara, and red lipstick is what I chose for makeup. i felt nice and clean, and of course, the flirtatious comments from many men came from it but oh well. Most of the time, the men of Easy Company, especially Joe, shooed them off before I needed to step in. I didn't mind the guys doing that for me. It saved me the time and energy. Though, the men knew, if I ended up having to say something, it would be over for said person.
