Work Text:
hey sexy, having a good day?
yeah I am actually
who is this?
just someone who thinks you're amazing
that doesn't narrow it down much 😅
oh wow, so everyone thinks you're amazing then? 😉
can't help it if it's true
seriously though who is this?
it's a secret
for now at least
oohhhh
a mystery 😉
yeah, if you like
do I get to know a little about you, at least?
if you want
ask me some questions
have we dated?
we have not
huh
bet that narrows it down 😉
have we slept together?
also no, sadly
… sadly?
👀
so you WANNA sleep with me?
definitely
tell me who you are then
we can meet up
hmm, idk
😉
I kinda just wanted to tell you how I feel
'cause it's eating at me
but I don't wanna make things weird by telling you ... who I am
so... we do know each other?
oh yeah
okay
well... how do you feel?
tell me
I'm in love with you
oh
wow
sounds serious
it is serious
for me, anyway
it fills me up, and I was just bursting apart with it and I had to tell you
I love you, Buck
wow
idk what to say
you don't have to say anything
I just had to tell you
I wish I knew who you were
we can stop talking now if you want
oh
why?
so we could talk, you know?
and see if there's anything there
in person I mean
idk
what we have in person is already pretty great
what if this ruined it?
if it was one-sided and awkward
wait so we're close?
you could say that, I guess
doesn't the not knowing kill you, though?
wouldn't you rather just know?
maybe
idk
what if we could be something?
what if you find out who I am and you're immediately "no”?
that would kill me
I don't think I've ever had an immediate no to anyone I've ever met
look, if we're already friends I feel like it could be possible
I must already like you
and you clearly feel strongly about me
yeah
I do
and yeah, I think you do like me
but like isn't the same as love
and you can't force love if it's not there
idk what to say
you don't have to say anything
I just had to tell you before I exploded and shouted it in your face or something
you could
shout it at me
why?
so that I know who you are
this is gonna drive me mad
oh
I’m sorry
I didn't think of that
the idea that there's someone out there, already in love with me…
I'm probably not the only one, tbh
you’re amazing
but you're the only one I know about
I guess
I'm guessing I've never asked you out?
no, you haven't
not on a date, anyway
that doesn't mean I'm not interested
I just have a busy job, you know
oh, I know
... that sounds creepier than I meant it to
I just meant, I get how busy being a firefighter is
right
and I've been tryna better myself, you know?
I used to sleep with anything that moved but it just left me feeling empty
because I want more
I don't want you to feel empty, buck
I want it to mean something
I want.... someone who's in love with me
don't you want someone that YOU'RE in love with, too?
yeah, of course
but if we never try we'll never know if I could love you
what if I'm already pretty sure you don't?
and that's why I can't tell you who I am
then, I’m sorry
yeah
yeah, me too
unrequited love is shit
yep
yes, it is
but what have you got to lose?
I could lose you
what we already have
I wouldn't let that happen
how can you be so sure?
even if I don't end up feeling the same, we could still be friends
idk, buck .........
I'm not gonna force you to tell me who you are
great
okay
but I am probably gonna start analysing all my friends from now on….
😅
might have to date them all
one by one
great
you do that, buck
I'm never gonna be able to stop thinking about you, you know
really?
but hey, maybe that's a good thing
maybe this is just what I need to finally stop pining myself 😅
............... pining?
sorry
never mind
you're pining for someone?
ehhh kinda
yeah
I am
oh
well, I guess I never stood a chance anyway then
if there's already someone
he's not interested in me
impossible
lol
you're really sweet
who is he? I'll fight him for you
hah, thanks
please don't fight him you'll end up in hospital 😅
I definitely won't
just tell me who you are
it's less painful
😉
end up in hospital, I mean
although I also don't plan to tell you who I am
hmmmmmm
...... it's eddie
eddie diaz
what?
what's eddie???
um
the guy I'm in love with....
please don't actually fight him, okay??
.............. is eddie diaz?
I'm really sorry
omg
I shouldn't've said anything
OMG

............ you're right, I can't fight him 😅
seriously though he's not interested
Buck ..............
if you tell me who you are there's still a chance for us
omg, BUCK

or at least send me a voice memo
