Okay so Boss can be pretty unobservant, but do you think anyone else at MSF guessed about Kaz and Medic? Is there a base-wide rumour mill and betting pool? Bets on how obvious they’ll have to be for Boss to figure it out, when he’ll find out, how many things will get broken when he does… Secret shipping wars, medic/commander vs boss/commander and Medic treating injuries from the fights that keep breaking out over it?

A few of the soldiers on the medical platform notice the commander coming around way more than he needs to and they figure it out, but it’s kind of a small circuit of people who know, and they’re pretty discreet about it since they just assume something’s happening but never have it confirmed. They just kinda smile and roll their eyes at them, or they start feeling really awkward and try to stay out of it, so there’s not a whole lot of gossip. It’s kind of like a Jim/Pam situation almost, except without the unrequited torture. =D AND LIKE THERE’S ONE PERSON WHO IS TOTALLY IN ON IT who is very important to the story that I haven’t written yet, but I’M NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY.

I can totally see that happening though, especially since some people might be petty and vindictive and threaten to out them to BB, so medic placates them by being a good sport and taking extra care of their injuries and negotiating with them (and by ‘negotiating’ I mean giving them that Korean War murderdeath stare and asking with a very low, threatening tone of voice if he can count on their discretion) right as he resets a broken bone or something. Not that he’d ever genuinely hurt them, but just making it known that he could.
