Summary: Potter has always been like a second father to Charles…

Charles did not hate Colonel Potter. Sure, they were two entirely different men and they had completely different morals but underneath that Charles respected his CO.

Charles did not dare admit to anyone, much less himself, that he had begun to feel what could most likely be described as hero worship towards Potter.

This was revealed in the most subtle of ways. The slightest of touches on Potter’s shoulder, smirking at a joke that was completely dreadful, buying him drinks.

Potter was like a second father to Charles, not an object of lust as Hunnicutt was. He could never and would never let himself feel that way.

The only hint of Charles’s affection for his Commanding Officer is revealed in OR. Every so often, each surgeon would look up from his patient and their gazes would meet across the room.

Through these gazes came comfort, fear and support. Charles always felt relieved when he met those kind blue eyes.

Though he felt jealous when Potter and Hawkeye walked past him joking and laughing, Charles knew that his self proclaimed step father cared for him.

And the feeling was very mutual.
