hey sexy 😉
hey querido
you ever thought about being a firefighter?
cause you look HOT in the uniform
🙈
thanks buck
anytime
it felt good, actually. to be in action again
it looked good on you
and I'm not just talking about the uniform
you looked... brighter
yeah, all that soot and plaster dust is soooo attractive
oh
thank you
not gonna lie, the soot and plaster dust does also kiiiinda do it for me… 😅
of course it does, lol
hey, do you know what else? I went home and actually slept
you slept??
yeah
that's fantastic!!
Chris had to wake me up for dinner
that’s great
I'm so happy for you
it felt so good
Chris was watching the news while I slept, saw all the updates about the fire
he said he was proud of me
🥰
that must've been nice to hear
he's the best kid
he really is
and he's right, you know
you should be proud of how you handled yourself
it was so good having you there
yeah?
it felt amazing to be included again
I've been refusing to accept just how much I miss being on the team
so what are you gonna do about it?
well
I think I should talk to bobby again
can I come with you?
sure, if you want to
I wanna make sure he's okay 😅
aha, yeah, of course
and if I go with you then he won't know I'm checking up on him
I planned to wait until he's recovered a bit, but sure
you think you can be that subtle, huh? 😉
hey, I can be subtle!
uh huh
no one knows we're together yet, do they?
don’t they?
..... I haven't said anything
oh
granted, everyone's been kinda busy and it hasn't come up…
I definitely told Josh
but I told you I was going to
what did he say?
that he was jealous
ooohhh of who?
but happy for us
I didn’t ask 😅
lol
and christopher knows, of course
I was gonna tell Maddie but I haven't had a chance yet
....... Carla might also have an idea about it
I guess I just have too much time on my hands 😬
lol yeah, get a better job 😜
I will
if Bobby will have me back
good 😊
he will
I hope so
if I have to cry I'll cry
I didn't know how ready I was until I was back in the thick of it
I'm really proud of you, you know?
you are?
yeah
thanks Buck 😊
I’m proud of you too
I know therapy's been hard but you haven't given up and it's honestly inspiring
it is?
yeah
you’re very inspiring
wow
I don't know what to say
you inspire me, too
thanks Eddie
you wanna know what else you do to me?
yes
what
you excite me 🤤
excite you, huh? 😏
mmhm
I almost kissed you on the scene
I wish you had
wanna come over and kiss me now?
yes
absolutely
wanna do more than kiss me?
definitely
do it then
okay 😉
I’ll be there soon
I can't wait to see you
me neither
wanna stay tonight?
yes
great
and forever
but tonight works for now
forever, huh?
maybe 🙈
I'm happy with forever
I love you so much
I love you too, mi amor
I want us to be together, too. forever
brb speeding 😛
DON’T SPEED 😅
I’m kidding 😅
good
hey, when I get there
yeah?
can I watch you carry some heavy things around for a bit?
.....................
okay…..
😅
sure, if you want
in a tank top
preferably
sure, buck
and then maybe I'll pick you up and carry you to my bed
you're just so fucking strong
OMG
YES PLEASE
🥵
yes?
so much yes
great
also I'm pulling up now
omg, you're here?
I sure am!!
I better go get changed into a tank top then
😏
get inside, baby
I want to see you
coming 😍
*
hey
looking forward to your first day back on the team? 😉
omg yes
I'm kinda nervous though
is that normal?
why are you nervous?
idk
I wasn't this nervous when I JOINED the team
I was nervous when you first joined the team 😜
what? why?
cause
you were hot and good at everything
and that made you nervous??
yeah
but we're not talking about me
why are you nervous?
I guess I'm afraid not everyone will want me back
oh no, they do
they can't wait for you to come back
have you been talking to people about me?
always, babe 😉
seriously though everyone is really keen to have you back
okay, great
Chris is excited about it too
yeah?
that’s good
yeah, it is
he said it's where I belong
it is
and I'm not biased at all 😇
sure you’re not, baby
😍
I'm just glad Bobby agreed
of course he did
he can see how far you've come
d’you think?
I really do
that’s kind
like I said, everyone's excited to have you back on the team
he pushed the transfer through really fast. I was a little surprised
do you think it's because you cried when we went to speak to him?
absolutely
100%
he saw my tears and just HAD to act quickly
no one can resist teary buck
🥺not even you?
omg, definitely not me
I can't resist any buck
😏
you know
yeah?
Hen told me she couldn't wait for you to come back because apparently you're 70% of my impulse control
😅
where did she get that statistic?
although Chim told her she was wrong
oh yeah?
Chim said that when we're together neither of us have impulse control
ahaha
I think they're both right
yeah?
they know about us now btw
oh, you told them?
yeah
cool
how did that go?
great
they were really cool about it
although Hen did give me a funny look
but it’s fine
what kind of funny look?
like... you know when you're tryna keep a fart in?
… sure
like that but with raised eyebrows
did you ask her about it?
not exactly
but I pulled her aside later and asked if we were okay and she said yes
huh
and she said she's really happy for us
well, good
I'm really happy for us too
🥰
almost time to head out
yeah
I wish we were going in together
well I was just gonna say
whoever gets there first should wait in the parking lot
oh? why?
we can at least walk into the building together
that sounds nice
I thought you were gonna suggest a pre-shift make out in the parking lot 😅
well sure if you wanna
I definitely wanna
I should mention, if you do wanna get a kiss in its gonna have to be in the parking lot cause I promised Bobby we'd be 100% professional at work
of course we will be
he'll fucking split us up if we aren’t
I don't wanna be split up again
I never wanna be split up again
so best behaviour
yes sir
… I like that
what?
hold that thought for when our shift ends
you calling me sir
… okay
I'm so excited to spend the rest of our lives together
me too, buck
and I think together should mean ... together
Eddie…
are you saying what I think you're saying?
depends. what do you think I'm saying?
I think maybe you're asking me to move in with you?
Yeah
I am
wow
too soon?
I would love to
oh
awesome
no! not too soon
let's make it happen then
okay 😊
I'm about to head out the door now
how’re you going?
Yeah, just about to get in the car
great
I'll see you soon then
real soon
for a quickie in the parking lot 😉
for kisses before work
for a WHAT
lol I’m kidding 😂
.................
wish I could've seen your face
I mean, I'm not averse to it
no
eddie
no
don’t tempt me
you started it
yeah, my mistake
maybe when we're living together we could have a quickie before work…
or you could just stay over every night
...... that's what living together means
😅
I guess it does
sorry let me be clearer:
maybe when we're living together we can have sex during the day and at night and before our shifts too
😇
I like the sound of that
when are you moving in?
yesterday?
sure let me just jump in the time machine
that would be amazing
fuck I really do need a time machine
I haven't even left the house yet
I got distracted texting you
Don't be late!!
We'll lose our kissing time
on my way!!!!
good
btw
eddie
yeah?
I love you
I was about to say that to you!
I love you too, Buck
😍
see you at work 😘
see you BEFORE work
😏
😘
