Shove them together and make them kiss??? Sometimes….
does anyone wanna uuhhhhhh
He’s trying to kiss him because he was so turned on.😂😂😂😂
no because I need to talk about this moment again for a second actually
hangman has spent so much time trying to goad rooster into reacting the way that he wants. the song at the bar, the asking personal questions, the bickering in the classroom. and rooster is relatively dismissive of it up until this point - smiles at hangman while he’s monologuing, shuts the convo down with a ‘none of your business,’ rolls his eyes and casually points out that hangman’s being a terrible wingman
and then this moment happens. rooster is finally reacting the way hangman wants, and like. pls just watch the gif again through the hangster lens.
there’s that moment on hangman’s expression before he starts to grin where he’s almost, like. recognizing bradley again. like, a mix of “that’s how far I have to go to break you now?” and “oh, there you are”
and it makes me want all the history for them. how easily did bradley react to jake’s asshole behavior before? how many times has bradley shoved him like that? how many times has hangman seen what rage looks like on rooster?
like. that is a man that knows what he did. that is the face of a man that just proved to himself and to his whatever-the-fuck-bradley-is-to-him that he’s still able to get under bradley’s skin bc he knows exactly where to cut. jake realizes he still has the power to affect bradley (even if it takes more effort now), and he knows it.
that look in the second gif is a quiet, taunting “I’m in your head”
so also, consider -
a quiet, arrogant, taunting “I’m still in your head”
Honestly I need more clearly country Hangman, just as a southerner. There’s a coupla good fics out there but I need more! Just bonfires and the dagger squad shootin the shit! Cause I ain’t a writer but I need more southern Hangman fics!
we have a lot of golden rich boy jake, i kinda want to see more traditional, country side boy jake and well maybe not RICH rich bradley, but he definitely had better situation as a child than jake.
maybe there was a time where jake can’t even eat dinner because his parents have 4 children and jake had to give up his dinner so his little siblings can eat. and he definitely can’t have pet besides the dog that his father’s boss owned. he grew up with love, but was struggling. that’s why he enlisted right after high school graduation, to ease his parents weight and so he can have better place to sleep and if not better, something to eat.
and bradley grew with both a lot love and privilege. he has both an admiral and a captain as his foster parents with no siblings. he got lonely sometimes, but mav and ice got him a dog, it was big and very fluffy and it costs them good amount of money just for the grooming and the food. bradley had some remote control cars, and many other good toys growing up. he only have to fend for himself when he cut off mav (which led to him restricting himself from ice too) with the money he saved, got into the best college he can find by scholarship and live in a dorm. but he definitely was in a better situation than jake.
so when they got together, bradley takes jake to a lot of dates, from movie date to fancy dinner date. he spoiled jake. when they moved in together, bradley got jake his first pet, and he drives with jake back to texas to meet his family. and when bradley and mav’s relationship is mended, jake makes sure to go with him to mav and ice’s house, making sure he never gets lonely. they lift each other up basically.
OOOOHHHHH MY GOD I LOVE THIS AUTHOR

Maybe if he remembered them better, maybe if his father didn’t die before he hit double digits, maybe if Bradley Bradshaw knew the sort of home that was filled with love and laughter rather than the echo of grief, he would do this better. And by this he meant love.

Rooster’s tapping out ceremony
Bradley already had a bad feeling in his stomach before the ceremony had begun. He was graduating, stepping into his dad’s shoes. He’d looked forward to this day his entire life. Now, when it was actually happening, he couldn’t feel anything but emptiness. He’d lost his dad at five, his mom at sixteen, and he’d basically lost Mav the same day he lost his dad. That’s why, when he was standing in formation with his back pin straight and his hands behind his back, he knew not to get excited. He knew no one was coming to tap him out so what was the point?
Everyone he was graduating with was way younger than him. Ever since Mav pulled his papers, he’d held a deeper resentment for him. He didn’t understand, he was an excellent pilot, why did he pull his papers? Why did Mav keep ruining his life? First his dad and now his career?
Through his peripheral vision, he saw soldiers getting bouquets and little gifts and he felt more bitterness than he did annoyance. Their mothers tearing up at the sight of their kids and calling them sweet names like their “little soldier”. He felt a too familiar twist in his stomach at the nickname. His mother would always call him her little soldier anytime he’d do anything that’d remind her of his dad. The soldier in front of him was the son of a pilot, like him. His stomach twisted more when he saw the man give his son a bear hug. It was more of a tackle than a hug from his perspective.
He’d been so focused on what’s in front of him that he didn’t even see who was approaching him from his four o’clock. He felt a rough hand land of his shoulder and it took him a minute to break from the attention stance. He turned his to the left and saw Mav donning a somber smile.
“What are you doing here?” Bradley spoke with venom in his tone.
“What does it look like, kid?”
Bradley fully turns his body to face Pete with a stern face. The more he looks at Pete’s face, the more his face softens. He didn’t know how to feel, Pete was the whole reason he was behind on his career, why was he so happy to see him? Without even realizing it, Bradley hugged Pete with urgency that he didn’t even realize was holding him back. Pete stumbled back from the sudden force of the hug but returned the hug.
As he Bradley slowly peeled off him, he speaks again.
“Even though you’re the last person I want to see, I’m glad you’re here Mav.” The last part of Bradley’s sentence was more of a mumble but Pete still heard him loud and clear. That was the voice he’d so missed for so many years. Bradley let his head slightly hang trying to avoid eye contact.
Pete gave him a few taps on his shoulder before he spoke again. “That’s…that’s understandable. Do you wanna grab a beer in celebration…?”
All of the softness and endearment left Bradley’s body at Pete’s request.
“I wouldn’t hold my breath.” Bradley inched away from Pete and left him standing by himself awkwardly.
He was so closer by the day to reconcile with the only family he had left, Pete could feel it.
Hangman’s tapping out ceremony
warning: bad parents
Jake stood tall under the blazing California Sun with his back as straight as can be. He could feel the beads of sweat fall down his forehead and back as he waited to be tapped out. His head was held high and he was so excited. Not only was he graduating from the Naval Academy, his dad had promised to be there. His relationship with his dad was far from perfect but it seemed to be getting better as time went on. When Jake was younger, he’d always wake up before Jake and get home after he was tucked into bed, the only time Jake did see him was during holidays.
He kept his eyes staring right ahead but the urge to shift them around to search the face he’d yearned to see for so long was clawing away at him. He saw the person in front of him get tapped out. They had what seemed like their parents, grandparents, and siblings there. He saw as the presumed father gave the soldier the biggest and tightest hug and how the soldier melted into his father’s arms. Jake couldn’t wait until his father came and did the same thing. He wondered, would his sisters and mother cry at the sight of him? Would his dad give him a hug that loving?
He watched as more and more soldiers walked away with their families and friends. There were only and handful of people left and he could see more families approaching from the corner of his eyes. He listened as the soldiers next to him reconnected with their families. The sobs of their mothers and the encouragement of their fathers.
It was when the only people that left were ones tens of feet away from him did he realize that his family was not coming. He felt the tears well up in his eyes and he desperately tried to blink them away. Through his tears, he saw one more family approach and tap out a soldier ten feet ahead of him. His tears flowed down his face as he choked back his sobs. It wasn’t anything new for his father to not show up but not even his sisters? He tried to make excuses for them in his mind but the thought of them only made the tears flow faster. That’s when he saw a familiar face. Was that…Javy?
He watched as Javy and his family walked his direction and he opened his arms wide to Jake. Finally, he felt a big and tight hug. As embarrassed as he was to do so, Jake sobbed into Javys arms. He basically turned into a puddle feeling a hug. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his back, a softer and smaller pair. He could only assume it was either Javy’s mom or sister.
“Thank you” Jake forced out through his sobs.
“Anytime man. Welcome to the Machado family.”
