Bucky (running in): Okay, first of all, it was not my fault--

Kidd: So fucking help me I haven't even poured my coffee.

Curt (running in): OKAY FIRST OF ALL IT WAS BUCKY'S FAULT--

Kidd: I'm just gonna wait five--

Buck (strolling in, grabs the other two by their collars): Morning, Jack. (Pulls the boys out of the room)

Kidd: ...who am I writing up?

Buck: that will be decided by a team of experts.

Kidd: This is your fault.

Buck: Uh-huh. Enjoy your coffee.

Kidd: IF THERE'S CHICKENS IN THE GROUND CREW TOOLBOXES AGAIN--

giggling and kicking my feet thinking about jack having to put up with buckbucky who are his very best friends and also the biggest pains in the ass

Oh, god, he loves them with his entire heart.

But jesus fucking christ they fucking tricked him into it they did. Early on, they seemed similar to him: serious, devoted, hard-working. And the thing is, they are definitely devoted and hard-working.

But.

Oh, god they're not serious at all.

Of the two of them, Jack is way more mad at Buck about that one. Because Bucky showed his complete lack of fucks about two days in, and Jack thought, "Well, okay, he's still a great person, and with Cleven to help me maybe we can--"

And that's when Buck's full chaos demon persona showed itself.

Like, you have to understand. Buck really, truly, is mature and together.

But he also ISN'T when it feels safe. And Bucky is so fucking safe. Bucky drunk sings and tells silly stories and occasionally, he wants to fight, but only if someone else really goads him. And even then it's one pop to the mouth, and he's done. Even if he has to go for a second punch, it's not from malice. Curt getting into their orbit fixes this problem. Curt ALWAYS one hits and he fixes Bucky's form.

But. Like. Imagine you're Jack Kidd. And you thought these idiots were trustworthy. And they AREN'T. But you still love them. And then they show up with Curt like a puppy they found.

God, he loves them to the absolute marrow of his bones, but he is gonna murder them with his own fucking hands.

i would love to hear more about jack being bribed. this is the most undisciplined bomb group after all, they have to clean up their record somehow (read: lying and bribery)

The only way to do this justice is to explain the crimes that led to the bribes. And the best way to do that is to call out each man by name.

Bubbles Payne:

The Crime: Being chipper every goddamn morning no matter what.

The Bribe: Jack hasn't sewn his own buttons in two years. Bubbles can sew a button in about two minutes.

Harry Crosby:

The Crime: Doing navigation equations out loud. Including all math symbols needed to complete them.

The Bribe: Two books for every one equation Jack has to hear out loud. Westerns are worth 1.5 other books, as they're Jack's favorite genre.

Curtis Biddick:

The Crime: Thrice-weekly bar fights (average).

The Bribe: A subscription to Jack's favorite muscle magazine. He totally reads the articles. Totally.

Robert Rosenthal:

The Crime: Trying to sing.

The Bribe: Being the best fucking pilot Jack's ever seen and fucking humble about it. Seriously. No bribes necessary, just keep doing what you do, Rosie. Except singing. Which you cannot actually do.

Douglass:

The Crime: Loving puns.

The Bribe: Helps Jack write letters that don't feel stilted or dull.

Blakely:

The Crime: Camp champion for number of penicillin shots needed for VD.

The Bribe: Cold hard cash. Fifty cents a shot.

Brady:

The Crime: Reminding Jack entirely too much of his kid brother.

The Bribe: Accepting Jack's hugs but pretending like he's never been hugged by Jack ever.

Hambone:

The Crime: Wise ass.

The Bribe: His mother's chicken soup. Which reminds Jack of his own mom's chicken soup.

Bucky:

The Crime: Existing.

The Bribe: Existing (Jack admits this one only makes sense if you really get how he and Bucky work.)

Buck:

The Crime: Being secretly feral and convincing everyone except Jack he's not.

The Bribe: Stopping Bucky from singing sometimes.

Demarco:

The Crime: Being a Chicago Italian (Jack's got Irish family in Chicago; it's not a Mob thing, just a neighborhood thing).

The Bribe: Knows how to properly cook cabbage.

Ken Lemmons:

The Crime: Using his hick accent and big blue eyes to convince RAF pilots he's never seen a real British pound and pocketing several dollars a week.

The Bribe: 1 out of 5 pounds ends up in Jack's pocket.

Harding:

The Crime: Not going to the goddamn doctor for his fucking gallstones and nearly dropping dead*.

The Bribe: Visiting Jack every chance he gets and apologizing for, oh, six months.

Helen:

The Crime: Letting people think she's the Colonel's daughter because they have the same name and everyone just assumed**.

The Bribe: Telling Jack the truth (Harding DOES have a daughter named Helen, but she's four) because she can see he has a crush and likes him enough to give him a nudge.

Meatball

The Crime: Being a fucking Husky.

The Bribe: Being a fucking Husky.

(*Actual reason Harding had to leave the 100th. Having had gall bladder surgery, I literally do not know how he ignored it long enough to nearly fucking die.)

(**In actual fact, Actual!Harding had a daughter named Helen who is meant to be the Helen in the show. But for fandom purposes, no she's not, and yes, she is totally playing people about it. It keeps the worst of the flyboys away from her.)
