It can’t all be fun, sexy banter, so here’s a little bit of firefighter Buckley post rescue from Rival Firefighters 🚒
“You okay? Nothing hurts?”
The little girl shakes her head and Buck sighs in relief. She’s okay, she’s safe. Buck weakly fumbles for his radio, the adrenaline beginning to wear off and fatigue starting to set in. He needs a quick pick me up coffee or energy drink and then he’ll be good to go again.
“This is Buckley. We made the jump and are on the fire escape of the building next door. Could use a ladder assist to get down. Over.”
He wraps his left arm around Malia, comforting her and keeping her close until help arrives to get them down. They could make their way down the fire escape, but with Buck’s bruised ribs and a possible adrenaline crash inbound, he doesn’t want to risk it. They are safe from the inferno next door, so waiting isn’t a problem now.
Technically I could freak out about the possibility of Eddie calling Buck ‘brother’ in the hand to shoulder still of the new ep BUT im choosing to think that if it does happen, it could lead to Buck’s big big biggg ‘oh, that doesn’t- doesn’t feel right’ moment
truly cursed posts/knowledge that you are immediately inclined to share with your friends are real life stack markers. the psychic damage they inflict is so high that you need other people to help you survive it. and sometimes you have to run the stack marker over them to make that happen
