or either of you lying awake and keeping watch while the other is curled up on the other’s shoulder.sitting huddled in foxholes with your knees and shoulders touching.in Bastogne, y’all are always together-where one is, the other isn’t too far behind.
you put up all sorts of hell about it but that’s the one thing he won’t budge on.other times, if y’all find yourselves next to each other in battle, Shifty shields you with himself.any third party watching can definitely tell how much he loves you.soft smile, bright eyes, the whole shebang.i can guarantee you he has heart eyes for you when you’re patching him up.Shifty LIVES for these moments, i tell you.a lot of wiping the dirt off his face too when the battle is over.damn trees and their prickly branches hurting your favorite boy.for someone who is a sharpshooter and is sometimes hidden in good places that aren’t exactly on the front lines, he gets a lot of scratches.when he’s satisfied that you’re okay and your injuries are minor, if any, he’ll sigh in relief and pull you into a bone-crushing hug.his check-up almost always starts with him cupping your face and asking “are you hurt?”.after the gunfire and bullets have ceased and the medics are making their rounds, Shifty always finds you and checks to make sure you’re not injured.like a way of saying, “i’m here, i’m okay, and we’ll be okay after this don’t worry”.before either of you launch into combat, one of you always reaches for the other and gives a gentle squeeze.he knows you can hold your own and you’re a damn good soldier but he at least needs to know you’re okay.Shifty is worried about you all the time.on the battlefield is a completely different story tho.y’all have developed an entire system of touches that the others still can’t decipher.frustrated? clingy hug from behind that lasts a while, occasionally lies down with you to listen to your heartbeat.happy and wants to tell you he loves you so much? kiss on the cheek with the cutest sunshine-y smile.sad and needs comfort? a gentle hand squeeze, occasionally cries on your shoulder.like, he seems to be a man of few words, so he’ll tell you how he’s feeling with touch.touch–it’s how he gets his feelings across.but i think once he gets more comfortable around you, he definitely starts reaching out for you more.that makes his hugs all the more special.he seems to err towards introversion so i think he reserves his hugs for important occasions and important people–namely, you however–i don’t think he’s the type to hug everyone.Shifty gives very good hugs and i shall die on this hill.
