Title: Battle Scarred Confessions of Love
Rating: T
Pairing: Johnny Rico/ Dizzy Flores
Summary: Sometimes you don't know what you have until you lose it and I learned that lesson when I almost lost her. It was not a mistake I would make again. This time I am playing for keeps, this time I am playing forever.

AN: I have never really written anything for this fandom before, but I wanted to try it out and see if I was any good at it. I always thought it was a shame that Johnny never got with Dizzy and so this is my way of getting the ending I wanted.
"Don't you dare die on me Dizz!" Blood was pouring out of her wounds and I knew if we did not get the bleeding to stop soon then Dizzy, my best friend, the girl I had never known I was in love with, would die. "Come on soldier, this is nothing; it's just a scratch do you hear me, just a scratch."
Even though she was covered in blood and her color was pale, Dizz still looked beautiful as she tried to smile though anyone with eyes could see the pain etched in her face. "At least I got to have you Johnny."
"Stop talking in the past tense." I told her as some of the medics started working on her, hoping to keep her alive until we could get her back to the home base. "You're going to be fine Dizz. You'll get this all fixed up and be as good as new okay? As soon as you're cleared to be up and about I plan to take you out to dinner. I never saw you until Carmen broke my heart, but I think a part of me deep down always knew I loved you. We finally got together Dizz and I am not ready to give it up quite yet."
She looked up at me with a small smile and reached her left hand up to caress my cheek softly. "I love you Johnny, I've always loved you."
"Then don't give up on me Dizz." I knew I must sound desperate, but honestly in this moment I did not care. All that really mattered right now was the bleeding girl in my arms. "Stay strong and fight like you always have. Dizz, I know this is sudden, but at the same time it has been coming for a long time; Dizzy Flores I want to marry you. We wasted so much time already and I won't do it anymore. My mom once told me that I was joining up because of a girl and maybe I was, but it wasn't Carmen, it was you Dizz, it has always been you. Will you marry me?"
"Yes, I mean no, I mean," The redheaded girl of my dreams sighed as she tried to articulate what she was trying to say. "I love you Johnny and yes, I want to marry you, but I-I am afraid you're only asking me be-because I could be dying. Ask me again after I survive, ask me again and I will say yes without a second thought, but ask me again after."
This time I was the one who smiled as a few stray tears rolled down my cheeks. "That I can do Dizzy, but in order for me to get that change you need to keep fighting for me alright? We can't get married if you are dead. Like I said, you are going to survive and we are going to have the change I never took before, that is a promise." I really do love you Dizzy."
"I love you too."
End!
AN: This was just a drabble and I know the characters were probably OOC, but then again this is AU and my first time writing them so I hope I did alright and I hope you all liked this drabble.
Please R&R like always!
