Summary: Hawkeye and Trapper meet up three years after the war. But it becomes clear almost immediately that things will never be the same as they once were.



October 1956

Hawkeye was standing around a little train station in Boston waiting for none other than Trapper to pick him up. It was almost five years since the two men had seen each other and Hawkeye was rather nervous at the prospect of meeting the former Captain.

The last time they had seen each other was when Hawkeye was climbing into a jeep to go to Tokyo…

Trapper watched as his lover finished packing for his imminent trip and wished that he could go too. Henry’s death had hit the entire camp hard, especially the two Captains and it was at Trapper’s request that Hawkeye get some R and R because he had taken to moping about the 4077th at all hours of the night. However Frank had only agreed to the week long pass if Trapper stayed in camp whilst Pierce caused havoc in Japan. It broke Trapper’s heart to see Hawkeye so upset so he agreed to Frank’s (or rather Margaret’s) proposition.

Trapper jumped as Hawkeye slammed his suit case shut and straightened up.

‘Well, I’m all packed.’ The raven-haired doctor sighed. ‘I wish that you could come too.’

Trapper shrugged and absently smoothed out his canary yellow robe. ‘You know what Mr and Mrs McArthur are like; besides it’s only for a week.’ Trapper went about fixing a drink from the still while the younger man watched him closely.

Without looking up Trapper mumbled. ‘I know you’re looking at me Hawk.’

Hawkeye smirked. ‘I can’t help it, you’re so irresistible.’

Trapper looked up at Hawkeye with a slightly pained look on his face. ‘Please don’t say that Hawk, not if we can’t spend a solitary week together in Tokyo...damn Frank!’

‘Do you think I could get away with running him over with my jeep?’ Hawkeye began to advance towards his lover.

Trapper smiled his adorably crooked grin. ‘I think Hot Lips would miss him…and maybe his mother.’ The blonde man put his arms around Hawkeye’s waist when he came close enough.

‘Trap, I don’t think we should start something we can’t finish.’ Hawkeye mumbled but there was no force in his words. He leaned in and placed a soft sensual kiss on the other doctor’s slightly chapped lips.

‘What was that you said about starting something?’ Trapper returned the kiss with a bit more force and cupped the back of Hawkeye’s head with his hand.

‘Hmm…Trapper?’ The Captain said McIntyre’s name through the dangerously sensual kisses.

Trapper stopped kissing Hawkeye and cleared his throat. ‘Why are we getting so emotional anyway? You’re only gonna be gone for a week.’

‘Exactly.’ Hawkeye walked out of Trapper’s embrace and grabbed his suitcase just in time to see the jeep pull up in front of the Swamp.

‘Well have fun buddy.’ Trapper gave Hawkeye an affectionate punch on the arm.

‘Have a drink for Henry.’

Hawkeye nodded. ‘Of course, and behave yourself while I’m gone.’

Trapper rolled his eyes. ‘Yes daddy.’

The two Captains exited the Swamp together and Hawkeye climbed into the jeep next to a young Corporal. The sun was just beginning to set and Hawkeye wanted to get to the airport before dark.

‘Onward to Kimpo Airport, Corporal!’ shouted Hawkeye emphatically and he waved to Trapper as the jeep sped off towards Kimpo.

Of course when Hawkeye got back to camp there was no sign of his beloved Trapper only a kiss on the cheek given to him by a frigid Radar no less! The Captain’s heart broke into a million tiny pieces and that night he cried himself to sleep softly so as not to disturb his new roommate.

But that was all in the past now, Hawkeye was going to meet Trapper that afternoon and he was absolutely scared out of his mind. He had desperately tried to convince himself that Trapper would be in love with Louise again and would want nothing more to do with him romantically. It almost worked too…until Hawkeye caught a glimpse of his former lover’s face. Trapper was almost exactly as Hawkeye remembered, thick strawberry blonde curls, honey coloured eyes that lit up like beacons when he revealed his devilishly crooked grin. And that body, the body that was toned from years of football and occasional weight lifting.

Hawkeye took a deep breath and approached the former Captain slowly.

Trapper smiled when he caught sight of the raven-haired man. ‘Hiya Hawk, how are you?’

Hawkeye smiled back awkwardly. ‘I’m great Trap, you?’

Trapper nodded. ‘Great.’

Awkward silence followed and Hawkeye fought the urge to kick both himself and Trapper. Of course it was going to be like this after almost five years of complete silence, what was he expecting?

Trapper cleared his throat. ‘So, uh, we better get going, Louise is making pot roast for dinner.’ 

]‘Yeah.’ Both doctors remained stock still for a moment before launching onto each other in crushing hugs. This got a few stares from various onlookers but it was nothing unusual to see affection like this in a train station.

‘God I missed you.’ Mumbled Trapper after both men had let go and composed
themselves.

Hawkeye smiled. ‘Me too…why didn’t you leave a note?’

Trapper winced as the inevitable question came to light. ‘Didn’t Radar give you my kiss?’

The former Captains began walking out of the station into the car park, dusk was falling and the sky was stained with shades of pink and orange. Just like our last day together, thought Hawkeye almost bitterly.

‘Yes he did, but that still doesn’t answer my question.’

Trapper frowned and fumbled for his car keys whilst mumbling his reply.

‘I’m sorry what was that?’ They had arrived at the car by now, a red Ford that had begun to rust slightly but was still in pretty good condition.

Trapper unlocked the car and looked into Hawkeye’s alarmingly blue eyes. ‘Look Hawk, this is only going to start an argument so just drop it and get in the damn car.’

Hawkeye rolled his eyes. ‘Okay but this conversation is far from over my friend.’

Yay, flashbacks! Very nice, i like it a lot. There'll be more? I hope so, i imagine good things for this story. Though it's sad to see them so distant, but the truth is often difficult. Good luck and kudos.
