Oh yeah def in a gen way. I'm not an active winnix shipper, but only in the active emotional sense--like, I don't go into emotional fits for them like I do for other ships, but they're so obvious, their arc is so clear and devoted (potential miscommunications and flings with the redoubtable Col. Dobie aside, lol). And like... I don't like interrupting that. That's Inviolable.

But some kind of... quiet understanding between Gene and Dick is possible, like Dick doesn't have to maintain distance from Gene like he does with the other enlisted bc he won't have to potentially order Gene to his death--Gene's job description means plunging into death regardless of whether Dick orders it. And they have a similar quietness I think they'd find very restful to be around. Idk, like I said it's very much in the gelling stage, still trying to come together as an idea.
