Why Have I Done This??? (Lams Oneshots)

Ich Liebe Dich

A/N - This is a request from a lovely friend of mine. Also we're going to pretend that they were ok with the gay during this time period. Also John speaking German is just *chef's kiss* Also I used Google translate and I'm sorry if it's wrong.

John's POV

   They left me. They left me for dead. Literally! A gun shot wound to the left shoulder and those Nazi pricks left me! I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't ask for this. This stupid war is getting me killed. My father is getting me killed. He's the one who volunteered me for the draft. I'm now a part of the Nazi army and it's ridiculous. I was about to wallow in more self pity when I heard it. Like a song in the wind. "H-Hello?" I paused. Enemy? Friend? It's so hard to figure out who's on what side nowadays. "Is anyone out there?" 
   "Over here!" I croaked, raising my not bleeding arm in the air. 
   "Oh god! Are you hurt?" An American. I regretted ever saying anything but soon the boy was standing over me. His red curls spiraling down across his dirt strained face, freckles splattered his tan skin and his violet eyes widened when he saw my uniform. "G-German!" He pulled a gun and I shielded myself. 
   "Please! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" The boy lowered his gun and shifted. 
   "Why not?" 
   "I-I have four siblings back home. Please! I just wanna see them again!" There was a distant explosion and the boy jumped. "We have to move." He eyes darted around and he sunk to the ground, crying. 
   "Why did I think I could do this?" He sobbed, I struggled to sit up as another bomb went off and crawled to him. 
   "Take me as your prisoner." 
   "W-What?" 
   "My dad is a political leader! He has information!"
   "I can't just-"
   "Please! I don't want to hurt you! I just want to get out of this hell hole!" He wiped his eyes and sniffed. 
   "Y-You're hurt." Another bomb went off and he gasped. 
   "We have to move! Come on!" We took off for the trees and ran about a mile before collapsing at the foot of a tree. "What's your name?" He looked up from digging in a bag he was carrying and looked me up and down. 
   "Alex." 
   "I'm John." He pulled out bandages and huffed. 
   "Unbutton your shirt." I did what he said and he started patching me up. I hissed and flinched and he rolled his eyes. "Stop being such a baby." He grumbled. 
   "You didn't get shot in the shoulder." I snapped back, he sighed and tied off the bandages. 
   "Why are you trying to-"
   "I want to get away from my dad!" I huffed. "He forced me to enlist and I just want to be free. I'll be your prisoner. Just get me across American lines. Please?" I begged, Alex regarded me for a minute and sighed. 
   "Fine but if you even try to-"
   "I won't. I swear. I swear on my siblings lives." Alex sighed and stood. 
   "We need to keep moving. Last I heard the closest lines were retreating that way." He pointed toward the sounds of the war and sighed. "For now we should find a safe place to make camp." I nodded in agreement and got up, gripping my shoulder. 
   "I think there's a tree that'll work back that way." Alex nodded and we headed off the direction I indicated. We walked mostly in silence spare Alex's quiet muttering. At first I thought he was praying but then he swore and I figured out he was cursing himself for letting me, a 'Nazi', live. "Can we get one thing straight?" He looked up at me and huffed. "I'm not a Nazi. I hate Mein Fuhrer." I huffed. "He's a dick and he's hurting innocent people. The only reason I'm wearing this uniform is because my father threatened my sister's life." 
   "...sorry." Alex mumbled. "I-I didn't know." He mumbled. 
   "It's fine. Whatever. I'm not a Nazi."
   "Got it." He smiled a bit and I smirked. We set up camp under a big tree and I went to get firewood while Alex looked for something to eat. He still had a few rations but that wouldn't last long. My shoulder was throbbing but I ignored it and started building a fire. Alex didn't say anything. He just pushed some leaves away and curled up next to the trunk of the tree. 
   "I'll take first watch." I hummed, leaning against another tree and sighing. Alex didn't say anything but after awhile he started shivering violently. I pulled my coat off with a little difficulty and carefully draped it over him. "Goodnight, Alex." I whispered.
