9-1-1, What's My Emergency?

Summary:

Buck

9-1-1, what’s your emergency?

sent

What?

Buck

9-1-1, what is your emergency?

Oh shit wait that’s your line


Whumptober Day 15: Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever | delirium

Notes:

This fic can be read in two ways: video or transcript.

You can either watch the video, which is embedded at the top of the chapter, with a link underneath it if the embedded video is not working; or you can read the transcript, which is below the video.

You aren't missing any dialogue/text if you chose one form over the other, but I thought the video idea would be fun! But I also wanted to provide a text option for anyone who wouldn't be able to read from the video.


Many thanks to the wonderful Alidravana for being my beta for this fic!

(See the end of the work for more notes and other works inspired by this one.)

Video link if embed is not working/available.



Buck

Tell Chimney to stop texting me

I just have a bad cold and high temp,
not the bubonic plague

He’s giving me a migraine with all
the text alerts

sent

He’s just worried, he cares about
you

Buck

And it’s because of that I’m not
turning off my phone

sent

If you turn off your phone he’s
gonna think you died

Buck

Yeah there’s that too

Tell him I’m fine, I just need to sleep
it off

sent

I will

Text me if you need anything, okay?

Buck

Will do.


Buck

9-1-1, what’s your emergency?

sent

What?

Buck

9-1-1, what is your emergency?

Oh shit wait that’s your line

sent

Buck, is everything alright?

Buck

Nooo no you have to say it

sent

Say what?

Buck

The thing!

You’re 9-1-1, you gotta do the
thing!

sent

...

9-1-1, what’s your emergency?

Buck

I think I hurt my ankle

sent

You think?

Buck

Okay I know I hurt my ankle

It’s the why is it hurting part I’m
still thinking about

sent

What happened?

Buck

Um…

I think someone moved the
stairs?

They aren’t in the same place as
they used to be

Or like...they’re steeper?

There was a bigger gap

I swear, someone removed one
of the steps

It got put somewhere else

sent

Buck, are you injured?

Buck

I’m hurt

sent

Yes I know

Did you sprain or break anything?

Are you bleeding?

Buck

My ankle hurts

I already told you that

sent

Buck

Buck

I just don’t know WHY it hurts!

Make it stop hurting, Mads, I
don’t like it

sent

I’m on my way, okay?

Can you hold on for 10 minutes?

Does anything else hurt besides
your ankle?

Buck

My heart hurts

sent

Are you having chest pains?

Buck

No

sent

Then why does your chest hurt?

Buck

I said my HEART hurts!

sent

Do you know why your heart
hurts?

Buck

I want Eddie

He’s not here

I miss him :(

sent

Do you want me to call Eddie?

He can meet us at your
apartment

Buck

Nooooo he can’t know

Maddie nooooo

sent

What’s so bad about him knowing
you’re hurt?

Buck

He’ll be worried

I don’t like when he worries

Actually I do

Don’t tell him

I want him to worry about me
more

But like

I don’t want there to be a
reason he’s worrying?

I want to be not hurt but still
have him care for me

sent

I have been waiting for this
confession for months

Why does it have to be while you’re
feverish and probably won’t
remember it?

Buck

Of course I’ll remember loving
Eddie

I could never forget

sent

I love that you can delete this
off your phone but it will be
immortalized in mine forever.

Buck

I would like to remind you that I
am in pain

And someone broke into my
apartment to rearrange my stairs

Someone should probably call
9-1-1 for that

I can do that while I’m waiting
for you

sent

NO

Do NOT call 9-1-1 Buck

Buck I mean it

EVAN

Buck

9-1-1 what’s your emergency?

sent

We’re here, we’re coming in

Buck

Wow, 9-1-1 works fast

You should get a raise, Mads


Buck

Hey Mads?

sent

You feeling better?

Buck

Much better, thanks for coming
over.

Fever finally went down, as did
the ankle swelling.

Hey listen

What would it take to get you to
forget the entire latter half of
our text conversation?

sent

😈

Buck

MADDIE PLS

sent

Love you, little brother :)

Notes:

Let me know what you think about the video fic format! I have another fic coming up (Day 25) that really lends itself to this format (and there will be a transcript there, too), so I'm curious to know what people think.
