It was in Bastogne when it first started hitting you. The feelings for joe. You fell hard for him when times where hard. You couldn't help it.Your heart softened for him every time you spoke to him.you didn't know how to hide it for any longer.

You lay in your foxhole trying to get some sleep that night.You then heard the crunch of footsteps on the snow behind you.You slowly turned your head around to see Joe. "Hey Joe" you said sleepily."Hey y/n" he said getting in next to you.He wrapped his arm around your waist.You rested your head on his shoulder as you where so tired.

He held you in his arms as he pulled you into his lap. You where to tired to care. Little did you know he really cared for you. He really did.He loved how smart , beautiful and kind you where. You always made him feel comforted. Your laugh brightened up his day.It was like a spark to a flame.

You rubbed his chest as you both fell asleep.He was happy to be holding you as he slept. It felt so right.

You sat with Joe next to the fire in your living room. You where both wrapped in a blanket.he was so tired."Baby your tired , you should go sleep" you said."I don't want to be alone" he said in your ear."Yea i need to put the fire out first though" you said softly kissing his nose.He went through to your bedroom.

You slipped under the covers to feel joe's arms wrap around your waist and pull you into his body.He held you as he tried to get some sleep."My girl" he whispered.you kissed him before getting some sleep yourself.You wrapped your arms around his waist. You kissed his neck softly.he smiled groggily."I love you baby" he said falling asleep."I love you too baby" you said smiling.

' he ran through Bastogne looking for you. The shelling had gone off and he couldn't find you.He only heard the yell for medic.He then saw you laying in a pool of blood in the crisp blood for Bastogne. He dropped down next to your barely moving body."Baby please I still need you" he whispered to you as you tried to talk but couldn't. Tears dripped onto your wound.

Joe woke up sweating and about to start crying. You sat up and started to comfort him instantly."It's ok , it was just a nightmare, it's ok , I'm right here baby" you said hushing him."Please don't leave me baby" he whispered."I'm never leaving you ever" you said kissing him softly.
