Band of brothers imagines

Floyd Talbert

I had been sitting down on the grass, laying flat on my back while looking up at the sky. Here in Austria, it was peaceful and it had amazing views no matter where you looked. The hot sun was beating down on my skin as I picked a Daisy, spinning it in my fingers. I held it above my face getting lost in the simple motion. Enjoying the silence was nice. It had been a long time since I could just sit outside and listen to the birds sing and the wind blow the trees, for the last three years all I could be worried about was the bullets flying past my head or a the shelling's booming all around me. I let out a heavy sigh thinking about it.
My helmet rested to my side as my hand fell it my sides. These were the moment where I really got into all my thought. With how the war was and just how it happened so fast. There never really was a time or place to just stop and think about everything, if I had I'd been shot or blown up if I had.
Now was the time to do all my thinking while laying out in the open while there were no bullets and no grenades being fired my way.

The rest of easy were all sat in little groups not to far away from me. They all had there own little conversations going on, either about the war itself or what isn't going to be like going back home.
I just lay there thinking over my life. I mean as a little girl I wanted to be a ballerina, I wanted to get married and have children. But now here I am sitting in a different country fighting a war while being the first female paratrooper to ever exist, with blood, mud and dirt caking my face. I hadn't had a shower in a month and a half. My hair was all knotted together from not being able to wash it and I was sitting in a dirty uniform just like everyone else. Far from being a ballerina. And still far from being married.

I turned my head to look at the men about hundred meters away from me, they all had smiles on their faces and were laughing around with each other. Your eyes landed on one specific paratrooper. You smiled as he sat next to Shifty. Floyd Talbert. The most loving boyfriend in the world. You both became a couple not long after he got back from being stabbed by a replacement. Although when Floyd asked you to be his girlfriend he wasn't the tough flirtatious guy everyone knew him to be. He was soft and stuttered when trying to talk to you. You smiled at the memory.
Floyd had taken you out on a walk along the beach the day before you all got sent back to the line and asked you to be his girl. You fell head over heels in love with him after that.

Floyd looked at me from the group and his eyes landed on yours. A grin came onto his face as you sat up using your arms to support yourself. You grabbed your helmet putting it on your head and walked over to the group, still playing with the Daisy.

"Hey guys" you called as you walked over to the group and sat down next to Floyd. Everyone stopped and looked at you, Floyd's hand snakes around your waist pulling you into his side.
"Hey babe we missed you" Floyd spoke while giving you a kiss on the lips before turning back to the boys to carry on their conversation.

Looking around at the group of men who surrounded you, you thought about the relationships you had built over the last couple of years. Training and going to war with them. It made you think of the many losses, but it also made you think about the great bonds you now shared with each man. Hell you even meet the love of your fucking life while being in complete chaos, at least something good came from being in this stupid war. I couldn't help but smile as I looked up at the man I had fallen in love with, his hand tightened around your waist as he sensed you looking at him. You knew Floyd Talbert was your soulmate, the man you were meant to be with and the man you were and wanted to marry one day.

You snuggled into Floyd's side while resting your head on his shoulder. You turned to look up at him and he turned to look down at you. He had a small grin on his face as he took off your helmet and ran his hands through your hair.
"You alright babe?" He asked you while still looking at you. You nodded and smiled at him. He kissed your forehead and looked back up at the guys. The boys started making jokes about Floyd being soft but he didn't care. I was his world and he was yours. He looked down at you again and pulled your chin up towards him. He put his lips on yours giving you a nice soft loving kiss. Just to make the boys groan jokingly.
"Come on guys they are fucking adorable look at them" you hear George say and you laughed into the kiss and you could feel Floyd smile as well.
You both pulled away.

"Once we get home I'm dropping on one knee and I'm asking you to marry me babe, and I mean right as I step of that fucking ship" he whispered into your ear and you laughed but snuggled closer.
"I'll hold you to that Talbert." You felt him chuckle but he continued to play with your hair and give you a kiss ever so often.
Life was complete in that moment.
