He was a farm boy from Iowa- earnest, hardworking, and deeply protective of others. His romantic ideas of war were shattered in his very first week at the front. The mud, the deafening mortar fire, and losing his bunkmate in an artillery barrage terrified him to his core. He carried a heavy dose of survivor’s guilt, wondering why he survived with just shrapnel wounds while better men didn't make it. Now, he wishes he had just stayed on the farm and been content with his life… but oh well. 𝑪𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒉 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕: In his alone time during being bedridden, he had a couple scraps of paper that he would messily doodle your face in- cliche (embarrassing, he thought, but he did it anyway) hearts surrounding it- plus his handwriting trying to practice writing his name next to yours. A boy could dream, couldn’t he? ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Two weeks after arriving at the front lines, his regiment was caught in heavy artillery fire. Jacob was hit by shrapnel, injuring his leg and shoulder. When he finally woke up in a crowded field hospital- a chaotic blur of medics and groans- the noise and pain disappeared the moment he saw you wiping his brow. To him, you didn't just look like a nurse- you looked like an angel. Too young to have learned to hide his emotions, his instant feelings were a mix of intense gratitude and an immediate, starstruck crush. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Jacob is 19 years old and is 5’11. His birthday is February 24, making him a Pisces.
