Foot Inspection



“Right, Beej – off with them.”

The lazy smile as BJ looked up from where he lay sprawled on the bed had its usual affect on Hawkeye’s senses, as did the words that accompanied it, and he battled briefly with the overwhelming urge to throw the clipboard he had been carrying around all day at his tent mate.

“But we hardly know each other…”

“Your socks, BJ.” Hawkeye glared in what he hoped was an intimidating and entirely professional manner, “Other than Frank, you’re the last person on my list. Take them off.”

There were bad days. There were worse days. There were even, sometimes, if the moon were full and the wind blowing in the right direction, ok days.

And then - there was Foot Inspection.

BJ sat up, treating him to a rather interesting view as he proceeded to remove the items in question.

“All right, all right – how do you want me?”

Discarding, for the sake of his sanity and his friend’s well being, any of the responses that first presented themselves, Hawkeye settled himself on the edge of the bed, reaching for the proffered foot.

“Is this the part where you tell me I’m going to marry a handsome dark stranger?”

“No, it’s the part where I tell you to cut your toenails.”

“When I find that stranger, he can do it for me.”

And when I find a tank I am going to hit you with it. Hard. With that decided, Hawkeye set about his task with grim determination. Ten toes. One small blister. A piece of sock fluff that stubbornly refused to be removed. And a spot just there on the arch that made BJ squirm like a hooked fish. Well, well, well…

“First rule of sharing a tent with someone – letting them know you’re ticklish.” Hawkeye admonished. “You’ve been holding out on me.”

“More a third date revelation,” BJ quipped, trying as he did so to rescue his captive ankle. Despite the flippancy of the words, BJ’s voice sounded almost panicked, coupled with something that, if Hawkeye didn’t know better… Always one to test a theory, Hawkeye held on, running his finger lightly over the spot again. The response it produced really left no room for doubt, as BJ groaned softly, every muscle in his foot tensing for a different reason entirely.

Wonders would never cease. BJ Hunnicutt had an erogenous instep.

There were several things, of course, that he could now do. He could laugh. He could make a wisecrack about the matter and change the subject. He could do the infinitely most sensible thing and pretend he hadn’t noticed.

“Ha! Beej, you dark horse! Does Peg know about this?”

Or then, he could follow the ingrained habit of a lifetime and say the most idiotic thing that flew into his head

“Does Peg know about what?” Hawkeye didn’t have to look up to know he was being glared at. Or that it was probably best for him to shut up. Ten minutes ago.

“That her husband gets turned on by his tootsies.”

“Every good relationship has to have its secrets.”

Ha. Somehow Hawkeye kept the gleeful snort to himself. He shouldn’t gloat, he knew that. Not over something so mind-boggling ridiculous anyway. But any little part of BJ he could harbour for himself was precious, and he would take what he could get.

“You say you’ve still got Frank to molest?” BJ’s voice cut into his thoughts. Hawkeye nodded, resigned to the – for now at least – inevitable fact that one possible ending to this situation was just not going to happen.

“Yeah – there’s a special section on this chart all for him – ferret folk.”

BJ grinned, moving to sit beside him.

“Great,” he announced, just close enough that his arm brushed Hawkeye’s and yet again had him thinking of cold showers. “And while we wait for him to come home, you can always give me a pedicure….”

Hee, nice, I love that. I love how BJ gets turned on by that spot on his foot. xDD Something Hawkeye would (and should) exploit. ^^

Oh no, don't refuse it. Take it and RUN with it! Then share it with us!

Too true, too true.

Pedicure my ass...lovely!

You really captured their dynamic well - to the point where I could almost see this happening in cannon. But then, we all know this would never happen in cannon...but shhhh! I'll just keep on pretending.

I just had the strange thought that Hawkeye should have licked his foot.

O.o

*headdesk*

Perhaps in a sequel?

Oh please! I am on my knees begging...If you write this fic, I will have your children. All of them...even the annoying ones that stay up late and cry.

Hotspur, huh... (<.<) (>.>) We shall see.

And at least I am evil for good, and not evil.

Yeah, what can I say? I'm the jealous type *grins*.

MInd you, having inspired her to write a sequel, and been evil in a good way, it could be arranged that even the annoying ones were silent and possibly even asleep before you had to babysit! See, I can be nice too :-)

I suppose I really can't refuse such an offer.

But I get to spoil them roten with no complaints. :)

Well, between us, who knows what we may accomplish? Love you :-)

Does Beej ask him to do it again?

You have no idea how happy this concept makes me.

*snicker* That just had me hoping that BJ meant this part to come true as well,
-------------
“No, it’s the part where I tell you to cut your toenails.”
“When I find that stranger, he can do it for me.”

*cheers* It was good. Cute, light, flippant, but just what I needed. Thanks!

That part had me laughing so hard I had to bite into the back of my hand hard enough to draw blood just to keep from being too loud and waking my little sister up! LMAO I really need to stop reading fanfiction in a shared bedroom at 6am! hehe

But yes . . . I'd make this comment longer but MASH comes on in like . . 8 minutes and I have no life like that.

This really was just absolutely hilarious though!!

Love ya!
