#hen just looks at him sadly
Text
Theres nothing more i love to read than Tommy’s first crush being Sal to the point he would do anything for an ounce of his attention that slowly broke his heart but he was desperate to feel any love and would put up with Sal being an asshole and never reciprocating his feelings. Like mmm thats the good shit. (Im totally not projecting lols)
I love that its not just Evan thats learning to be loved and wanted, its Tommy too i just love that vulnerability *chefs kiss*

You know what’s so great about Tommy?
He represents hope. He is living proof that people can not only change, but also turn their lives around.
When he was in the begins episodes, he was scared and spineless and sometimes an asshole, all for the purpose of fitting in with Good Ole Boys club. He was deep in the closet and had been in an unhealthy environment probably all of his life. Lou said that Tommy had a rough life, an unstable home and childhood. Add an undetermined amount of years in the army to however long he was trapped at the old 118, I’m starting to think he never realized another option was for him. Not that there wasn’t another option, but that it wasn’t an option he could have.
But then Chimney comes in. Someone on another post of mine pointed out that it was because Chim was an “other” and Tommy didn’t want to be pinned as an “other” too and I agree. Same with Hen, but sadly worse. She got awful treatment from the 118 and Tommy went along with it. But even back then, we got treated to things like Tommy hugging himself during Hen’s speech to the house, to his face falling when the captain uses the “diversity hire” line.
But then Bobby comes in and he’s not standing for people’s shit. Slowly, the 118 starts to move forward and while Tommy isn’t stuck fitting into a toxic boys club anymore, he’s left behind because he can’t move himself forward anymore without confronting who he is. So he leaves the 118 and moves to Harbor.
Somehow, somewhere along the way to where we are now, Tommy came out to himself and with the way he talks, probably started therapy. When we meet him again, he is so gentle to himself and those around him. This is a Tommy we could see glimpses of before, but now he’s finally safe to be himself in all aspects.
And I think this is so important for all people who find themselves with any parallels to Tommy’s storyline. For so many people that have to live in secret. For people trapped in a horrible environment, one they have to mimic to survive. For people who can’t face themselves until later on in life. For people who look successful on the outside, but are crumbling on the inside. And to the person who fits their gender roles to a T, the macho man or feminine woman, who doesn’t “look queer” or “act queer”. There’s a place for everyone.
You just have to find your place. Look what that did for Tommy.

not even fate;
pairing: simon ‘ghost’ riley x f!reader
word count: 784
warning: fluff? ish? ghost is a coward :3
note: funny thing; i met a dude that reminds me of ghost at the airport and we got onto the same plane and i got seated behind him while this fic was in the works jddhhssjj
summary: ghost wouldn’t even think of making a move on a civilian, even after fate (and his friends) pushed them together more than once.
He saw her hand hover by his bicep in his peripheral before feeling a light tap after. She was pointing at her phone, showing him a google map direction that has the track they’re waiting on. Why on God’s bloody earth would she approach a 6’3 fellow in all black—complete with a black facemask and a matching black wool cap—to ask for directions, he would never understand.
“Hi, sorry, is this the right track?” She meekly asked, if he had less honed senses he would’ve asked her to speak up, but he could hear her just fine over the hustle and bustle of the train station. He noted her neatly brushed and slightly curled hair, the makeup on her face, and the clothes she was wearing.
Would.
He nodded, “Right platform too.” He pointed at the sign a little way away.
Ghost had always scoffed at true crime for describing someone’s smile as ‘lighting up a room’ but that’s what’s he’s seeing right now. With big beautiful doe eyes to complete the set. If he was still fully Simon Riley he would’ve chatted her up, but sadly, he’s no longer.
The woman thanked him as she waited a little bit behind him. Had he known at that point in time how things would go, that night he would’ve turned the other way and go the fuck home. But he didn’t, so he stayed.
He met up with Soap and Gaz at a pizza bar—that in their opinion served undeniably the best pizza and also offered unlimited drinks—which they visited almost everytime on leave. Price was occupied with family activities and said would join them later on, which they knew largely meant he would be skipping this outing.
Noting the man sitting alone next to them checking his phone every few seconds made him thought he got stood up, until the girl from earlier showed up, looking sheepish as she made her way. Her gaze moved over to Ghost, so she waved at him, with a surprised look mixed with recognition. He nodded at her and of course Johnny immediately gassed him.
“Ooooo, who’s that el tee?” He started, nudging his upperarm with his shoulder, “Lass’ mad cute.”
“Don’t know.”
“Tae fock ya mean ya dinnae ken?” His voice a half whisper as she sat down. “She waved at yah.”
“English, Mactavish.”
“The. Fuck. You. Mean. You. Don’t. Know. She. Waved. At. You.”
“Mistook me for someone else, probably.”
“Ya nodded back.” He prodded.
“Didn’t want to be rude.”
“Ah piss off, ya shitebag.” Johnny barked, harmlessly.
Ghost couldn’t help but overhear their conversation, which drove him mad. He kept talking about himself while she just kept nodding and asking more questions, and not single time had he asked something about her. Even when the poor girl did find time to slip in information about herself—which he thought was interesting—he found a way to swerve the conversation back to himself again.
The night went slowly, with soap ordering more pizzas while upping their drinks from pints to shots, and the girl’s date still going on and on and on about himself. Ghost was glad she excused herself and politely denied a second date. He had to make sure he went the opposite way she was going before paying full attention to his friends again. Price showed up abhorrently late, clothes faintly smelling of baby powder and shit, and in his tipsy stupor Soap mentioned the girl from earlier.
“He nodded, cap! Tae da hen!”
John nodded solemnly at Soap’s ramblings and nursed his single drink, not opting for the unlimited drinks. Price had confided in him on his ongoing argument with his wife about his obsession with work, and Ghost listened intently as he took mental notes.
That would never happen to him. He couldn’t relate as he would never let anyone get close to even have such an argument.
He saw her again as he got to the station, a bag of fish and chips in hand. And as he was about to walk a little bit farther so they wouldn’t be in the same wagon, his phone buzzed three times in a row to reveal texts from Soap.
TALK
TO
HER
He froze for a moment and looked around to see where this menace of a Scot could be.
Y R U LOOKING FER ME
HENS RIGHT THERE
💀🖕
Soap’s laugh was loud enough that it could be heard from where he stood, which subsequently made the girl turn around. He saw her scan the room for a little bit before her gaze landed and she smiled, making toasting motions at him with a battered fish.
Ah, fuck.

Buck x reader - I’ve got you
Tumblr media
Hi I have a fic idea with Buck from 911 and wanted to ask if you would like to write it. Reader is having a bad day and just wants to see her boyfriend Buck, so reader drives to station 118. Sadly Buck isn't there at the moment and the other who are there try to cheer her up. When Buck comes back they hug and Buck is there for reader. Thank you - Anon💜
Everything felt so hard today, like nothing was going your way, and you didn’t know what to do.
Everything was just falling apart, and you wanted to cry, but at the same time you didn’t, you just wanted someone to hold you.
Him to hold you.
So, you left your apartment for the first time that day, trudging to your car you got in and you drove to the one place you knew he would be at this time of day.
Walking into the station, you looked around, trying to find him, but you couldn’t see him anywhere.
You slowly walked around, wondering if maybe you had missed him at some point, walked past him or something, but you still couldn’t find him.
But you did find Hen and Chim, so you walked over to them both.
“Have either of you seen Evan..?” You asked softly.
Both of them turned to you.
“He’s gone out with Bobbie I think.” Chim said.
You sighed, nodding your head and they shared a look before turning back to you.
“Everything alright (Y/N)?” Hen asked you.
You opened your mouth, and closed it again before shrugging a little.
“I just need to see him…”
Hen stood up, walking over, she wrapped you in a hug, and you hugged her back, resting your chin on her shoulder.
Chim got up and walked over, placing his hand on your back.
“He’ll be back soon enough, come on.” He smiled.
They led you up the stairs and sat you at the table, getting you a glass of water and sitting down with you.
They tried to get you to talk to them, but you wouldn’t, so they settled for trying to distract you with games instead.
And it worked for a little while, until you couldn’t focus anymore.
You looked at you watch and sighed, standing up.
“Sorry guys I have to go.”
“You can stay longer you know.” Chim said.
You nodded.
“I know, but I’m just gonna head home. Thanks though.”
Giving them a quick hug, you made your way down the stairs and all but ran into another firefighter.
“Woah, sorry.”
“Sorry Eddie.”
You went to leave and he placed a hand on your shoulder.
“You okay?”
You nodded and he frowned, pointing behind you.
“He’s there.”
You spun around and there stood Buck, walking to Bobby, and you immediately began walking over.
Bobby noticed you and turned your boyfriend around, and the moment he saw the look in your eyes he walked straight over.
He wrapped his arms around you, and immediately you wrapped your arms around him, burying your face into his chest as you took a shaky breath.
“Hey, hey I’ve got you…” he whispered.
He placed a hand on the back of your head, holding it, and he gently kissed the crown of your head, and he sighed softly.
He wasn’t going to force you to talk to him about it, he would hold you for as long as you needed him too.
When you were ready to talk, you guys would talk, but until then he just held you.
You sniffled and he pulled away, taking your hand he led you to the ladder truck and helped you in and closed the door behind himself.
He sat on the floor and held his arms out to you.
“Come here…”
You sat between his legs, curling yourself into him.
Back felt your tears hitting his arm.
“You’re alright… I’ve got you okay? I’ve got you…” he whispered

Not seven sentence Sunday
💕💔💕 tagged by the lovely talented and amazing @elvensorceress @hoodie-buck @pirrusstuff @honestlydarkprincess @rogerzsteven @loveyouanyway @bekkachaos @exhuastedpigeon @daffi-990 @wikiangela @giddyupbuck @underwater-ninja-13 @diazsdimples
Breaking the rules all over tonight 😆 with definitely more than 7 sentences and other things
I’ve been going over the same bit for ever now so tossing it out there. This needs a title but I guess it’s mutual pining foot in the mouth fic for now
Chim’s eyes are dancing and his tone teasing, “You know i think Bobby has a point! Lost the magic!” He tuts sadly. “Not getting any younger are you Buckaroo!”
He mouths “Screw you” across the cab so Bobby doesn’t yell at him for swearing.
Chim clutches his heart in mock hurt. Hen backs up her bestie with a shake of her head and a sad echo, ”lost it’
She grins when he switches his glare to her . Vengeance will be his as soon as he can think of something suitable to annoy them. However for now he refuses to rise to the bait. There’s clearly only way out of this ridiculous conversation. He holds up his hands in defeat.
““You got me. No game. It’s all over for me.”
There’s a sudden bark of noise. It’s loud and harsh and all heads turn to the source. Eddie.
He’s finally looking away from the window and right at him.
“Like you couldn’t get someone to go home with you just like that” he snaps his fingers “Please! Look at you !” A hand gets flung wildly in his direction gesturing vaguely to all of of him.
Someone sniggers but he can’t stop looking at Eddie’s expression. It's as odd as it’s unfamiliar. He looks and sounds irritated but his eyes are sad. The two together don’t make sense.
Eddie’s face is all scrunched up, he looks so cute when he’s annoyed.
“You know you’d have a queue! We all do!”
And with that Eddie returns his gaze to the window
What u think? Is it working? Tagging @monsterrae1 @the-likesofus @loserdiaz @fiona-fififi @thekristen999 @ronordmann @hippolotamus @spaceprincessem @disasterbuckdiaz @heartshapedvows @wildlife4life @stagefoureddiediaz @thewolvesof1998 @weewootruck @jesuisici33 @eddiebabygirldiaz @steadfastsaturnsrings @theplaceyoustillrememberdreaming @rainbow-nerdss @tizniz @fortheloveofbuddie and anyone else I missed 💕

It was a only a kiss (how did it end up like this)
Just a silly ficlet based on this anon that @housewifebuck got 🖤
1.8k | Read on Ao3
One of the first things that Maddie had ever taught him when she taught him how to drive was the importance of wearing his seatbelt. Buck had been 16 years old and he had been traumatized by his sister showing him pictures of accidents where people weren’t wearing their seatbelts. Ever since, Buck would quickly put it on as soon as he was seated in any car.
When he was a probie he would always use the belts in the engine, until he realized that he was the only one doing it, and that it usually made him lag a few seconds behind everyone else, so he quickly stopped doing it. That had been years ago, and he didn’t think about it much now, it wasn’t that big of a deal, he had told himself then that he was saving lives and that meant he could be a little reckless with his own.
And, except for the bombing incident - that Buck would argue didn’t count - none of them had ever gotten hurt because they didn’t wear their seatbelts in the engine, so it wasn’t something that they’d ever talk about. It wasn’t that important.
Of all the accidents that Maddie had shown Buck all those years ago none of them had come near as bad as this one was.
It was a normal day, they were heading to a call and chatter around the engine was flowing, everyone was teasing Chim since he had been a little bit of a groomzilla with some arrangements for his wedding, Buck was sitting in his usual seat across from Eddie, Buck’s knees fitted in between Eddie’s, everyone was laughing at Chim’s expense when the truck came to a sudden stop.
In an universe where both Buck and Eddie had been wearing their seatbelts, nothing would’ve happened, Buck might’ve gotten his breath knocked out of him from the force he was pushed forwards, but nothing more than a bruise would’ve appeared on his skin. 
Sadly, in this universe, Buck wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
There were groans heard all over the cabin, Hen had fallen into the floor, and next to her Ravi had hit his head on Chim’s knee. Luckily for Buck and Eddie, they were all distracted dealing with their own pain to notice the position in which they had landed.
It was a very compromising position. The impulse had thrown Buck forward, making him slide to his knees right between Eddie’s legs, while the bounce back had made Eddie fall forward just as Buck was looking up to make sure that his friend was okay. If you’d ask him now, he wouldn’t be able to tell you how it was exactly that it happened, at least not the initial kiss. 
Because as soon as Buck looked up, Eddie fell forward and their lips crashed, quite literally, together. The initial kiss was actually a little painful, Buck was sure he tasted a little blood from where his lip was trapped between Eddie’s and his teeth, both him and Eddie were just staring at each other with their eyes wide open in shock, and their lips still pressed together.
Then, Buck saw as Eddie’s eyelids shut close, and then the pressure from his lips was no longer painful, but more of a soft pressure, it took Buck a second to figure out that Eddie was actually kissing him now, his lips had moved to mold into Buck’s perfectly, and now they were begging Buck’s to wake up and kiss him back. 
Which he did, for a second, before the groaning and complaining of their coworkers was loud enough to break them out of the spell they had fallen to; by the time Hen turned to them to ask them if they were okay, they were avoiding each other’s eyes, and blushing.
“Yeah, yeah we’re good” Eddie said quickly. 
Buck groaned as he got up and sat back in his seat, “Yeah, say that to my knees” he mumbled, and then looked at the poor state of his uniform, completely covered in dirt, the place where he had landed on was a little scrapped but not enough to be noticeable enough that he’d have to get new slacks, so there was at least that.
“Yeah,” Eddie agreed, Buck looked up to him, and found him frowning at Buck’s slacks, “They look rough”
“How come you’re completely clean?” Chim asked Eddie, who shrugged in reply and said:
“Well, I mostly landed on Buck? I didn’t really landed on the floor a all”
“Of course you did”
“Sorry everyone,” Bobby said from the front, “Anyone hurt?”
Everyone replied that they were okay, and soon after they were on their way again, rushing off to save lives.
Buck should’ve stopped thinking about the kiss, he should’ve focus on the emergency in front of him and the people needing their help, but all that he could think about was the soft press of Eddie’s lips on his, and how Eddie could’ve pulled away much much sooner than he did, but instead he had decided to kiss Buck, and turned Buck’s world completely upside down.
It wasn’t like Buck hadn’t thought about it before, he’d had one or two dreams about being with Eddie through the years, but Buck had always thought it was just his brain latching to his very attractive best friend while he was going through a very long dry spell, but he had never actually wanted to do any of those things - Or maybe the thought had crossed his mind a long time ago, but he squashed it right down, telling himself that whatever feelings he might have, weren’t worth the risk of losing Eddie.
“Hey,” Eddie’s voice broke him out of his thoughts, he nearly jumped when one of his hands landed on Buck’s hip, but he soon relaxed into the touch, the same he always did when Eddie touched him, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” Buck assured him, taking a deep breath, “Just, oh, a lot in my mind”
Eddie smiled at him and nodded, “I can imagine what about” Buck considered his blush was answer enough “Maybe, huh, we can talk about it? Over lunch? After work?”
Buck stared at Eddie, he also had a nice blush lighting up his face, his eyes were gleaming, while he was smiling shyly, a smile that wasn’t all the way there, like he couldn’t fully smile until Buck agreed to go on a date with him.
Eddie had just asked him out on a date.
They had kissed not even two hours ago, and now Eddie was asking him on a date looking adorably nervous and Buck wanted to say yes, to a date, to forever, no anything that Eddie had to offer, and oh. Oh.Oh fuck.
“How long have I been in love with you?” He blurred out instead of saying yes to Eddie’s question.
Eddie blinked owlishly at him, before tilting his head, and finally letting that beautiful smile of his spread over his face.
“Well, I’m hoping as long as I have been in love with you, which is to say a few years now”
“Yeah?” Buck was sure that his heart was going to beat out of his chest.
“Yeah, Buck”
“Okay,” he smiled, “We should talk about, uh, everything I guess, over lunch, a lunch date, you and me”
Eddie rolled his eyes and squeezed Buck’s hip before letting go and turning around to put away the equipment they had used during the call.
“It’s a date!” He called over his shoulder, and Buck had to try very very hard to not giggle like a schoolgirl.
The rest of the shift was tortuously slow, not necessarily because there wasn’t any calls, overall it was a very normal shift; but every time they sat across each other in the engine and their knees brushed together Buck felt himself blush, and when they had down time at the station, Eddie kept himself close to Buck. 
The rest of the crew seemed to notice that something had shifted, but no one said anything, at most Hen kept raising her eyebrows at how close Buck and Eddie seemed to be, Buck tried to ignore her knowing looks but the blush in his cheeks might’ve given him away.
By the time the shift ended, Buck couldn’t wait to get out of the station and get to his date with Eddie. His first date with Eddie.
“Ready to head out?” Eddie asked him.
“Yeah, yeah, let’s go, want me to drive?”
“Yeah, I was just thinking something low key? Like that sandwich place you really like?”
“Ok, yeah, that sounds perfect”
They stared at each other for a little bit too long, Buck still couldn’t believe that he was going on a date with Eddie, and for the look in Eddie’s face, he was also still processing.
“Okay, let’s go” Eddie said, breaking their trance.
They were halfway through the parking lot when Buck felt Eddie’s hand reach out for his and tangled their fingers together.
They had their second kiss against the jeep, Eddie pushed Buck against it, cradled his head in his hands and then kissed him slowly. This was what their first kiss should’ve been like, not an accidental bump, but Buck couldn’t bring himself to hate it or regret it, since it had led them to finally cross the line and get here.
“Maybe we can skip lunch?” Buck suggested, Eddie chuckled and kissed him again.
“Nope, I’m taking you out on a date, c’mon, we can make out after”
Buck laughed, but finally got into the truck. Their first date felt like any other outing they had done before, the staff wasn’t surprised that they had walked in holding hands or that they couldn’t seem to stop making heart eyes at each other, it made Buck wonder if they had all just assumed they had been together the entire time.
By the time they were done with their food, they wordlessly agreed to go back to Eddie’s house to maybe catch a nap before they needed to go pick up Chris from school, Buck noticed just truly how mixed together their lives already were, how Eddie’s house was already filled with Buck’s stuff, he even had two drawers full of his clothes.
“You okay?” Eddie asked him, when he noticed he had gone quiet while he picked up a t-shirt and some shorts.
“Yeah, just, why hadn’t we gotten together sooner?”
Eddie laughed, “Buck, you didn’t know you were in love with me until we accidentally kissed and I asked you out”
Buck blushed, “Yeah well, you knew, why didn’t you do anything?”
Eddie shook his head, “We weren’t ready, I don’t think, we got here when he needed to,” he shrugged, “that’s all that matters”
Buck kissed him, and couldn’t help but agree with him, he might’ve been a little slow on the update, but at least they had gotten here.

Hi! I am looking for pining fics where Sirius or Remus are dating/hooking up with other people and the other has to sadly and quietly pine (but they eventually get together).
Especially if it is at hogwarts and maybe the other person sees or hears something they wish they hadn’t? Non-hogwarts also welcome! Love me some pining and miscommunication that gets worked out!
Hi love🌸 Here’s my best try! If I remember correctly, all of the Hogwarts ones include some sort of scene where Sirius walks in on Remus and someone else (;
Hogwarts era:
Befriending A Ravenclaw, by kreestar (55k)
Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him.
In which Sirius thinks he’s straight (surprise, he’s not), and gets very confused (read: jealous) when Remus gets a boyfriend. Slow burn pining on all sides — it’s bloody wonderful!
Casanova of Gryffindor Tower, by Moonystar_394 (16k)
In sixth year, Sirius Black had two major realizations.
First and foremost, Sirius was utterly, irrevocably and in an almost excruciatingly embarrassing way head over heels for his best friend.
Secondly, his best friend was kind of a slut.
In which everyone’s in love with Remus (as they should be), Remus is oblivious, and Sirius gets veeeery sexually frustrated. I love it!
Falling Into Place, by GreenEyedGoddess (6k)
There's always been something special about Remus Lupin, even if it's taken Sirius Black until his seventh year to realize it. Too bad he spends so much time agonizing over his changing feelings that he loses his chance. In which Remus acts like an idiot, Marlene is the snarky voice of reason, James is a mother hen, Peter is confused, and Sirius is seriously jealous.
They are so stupid!!! (I love them). In which r and s kiss, but then they completely fail to communicate afterwards. Can they talk to each other? no no no! Instead Remus starts dating Dirk Cresswell (because of a misunderstanding, ofc). Much jealousy and pining ensues.
Just Like Best Friends Do, by MsAlexWP (4k)
After uselessly pining for three years Remus decides, finally, to get Sirius out of his system by shagging as many blokes as he can. It doesn’t go quite as planned.
So much stupidity and miscommunication in one little fic! Jealous!sirius, oblivious!remus, and lots of mutual pining. #clown-to-clown-communication. Also, Remus is really hot (;
Non-hogwarts:
talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, by beep348 (20k)
Remus and Sirius are in the same literature seminar at university and while Remus is great at reading books he is very bad at reading people.
Ok so this is a muggle!au and I know I’ve recced this before. But it’s so good so here we go again! If you haven’t read this already, you definitely should!!! In which Remus is under the impression that Sirius is dating Mary. Things get complicated. Misunderstanding deluxe! It’s so so so lovely and well-written! Lots of pining and jealousy, a beautiful slow burn (for 20k).
xx Elliot

After quitting his accounting job at his father's company, Steve left the city and moved to the countryside where he used most of his savings to open a small ranch.
Steve enjoyed his farmer life until one day, some of his chickens suddenly went missing.
At first, he thought it was the foxes, but even after he locked the doors, and set up the traps, his chickens still went away the morning after.
Steve even rang up Hopper, a local hunter, for advice.
But for all the efforts, he still couldn't keep his chickens safe from the foxes.
Eventually, when nothing worked, Steve decided to step up his game and catch the foxes before they could steal his chickens again.
And then that night, Steve witnessed a rug-rag of a man carefully step around the traps, creep into the henhouse, and then creep out with a chicken tucked under his arm.
Steve was like????
Because a closer look revealed that that was Eddie Munson, the local carpenter who had given Steve several discounts on the furniture he had bought when he first moved here.
Every week, Steve would exchange some eggs and meats for some wood from Eddie.
In return, Eddie would help him with the fences and barns whenever they needed to be fixed.
Although Steve hadn’t known Eddie that long, he would still like to think they were friends.
Thus, seeing Eddie here felt wrong. Weird, but a betrayal nonetheless.
Steve just stood there, stunned, before he came to his senses and called out to Eddie.
"Hey! That's my chicken, man!"
Eddie turned around, slowly, and then their eyes met.
Steve didn't think he could breathe.
Those eyes seemed unnatural, they were black, red-rimmed, and too bloodthirsty to be considered human. He knew Eddie had always looked pale, but under the moonlight, the other man looked like a ghost.
"Steve?" Eddie gasped, looking as terrified as his stoic facial muscles allowed him to.
"Eddie…” Steve hesitated for a few seconds before pointing at the chicken under Eddie’s arm. “Why are you holding my chicken?”
At his question, Eddie remained silent and stood strangely still, almost like a statue.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Steve. It couldn’t be, but since all the evidence was here, Steve couldn't lie to himself any longer. "Are you..?"
"What?" Eddie stared at him, wide-eyed.
"Are you the chicken stealer?" Steve squinted and watched Eddie adjust his grasp on the unconscious hen.
Oh my god, she had been passing out this whole time, Steve belatedly realized with growing concern.
"I'm sorry," said Eddie before quickly running away, leaving Steve behind to gape at his retreating form.
The next morning, Steve went to Eddie's place with two chickens.
Eddie had eyed the cage with a guilty look before sitting Steve down and explaining about his reason for stealing Steve's chicken.
Eddie had been stealing chickens to give them to his sick uncle who had been bedridden for weeks now.
The reason sounded off, but Steve still bought it because he didn't want to think about the alternative of why would Eddie need so many chickens in the first place.
But Steve's attempt to remain oblivious had sadly failed when Eddie moved in to live with him at the ranch.
(Why? Because they had become boyfriends after one year of flirting and sharing tender moments.)
He had caught Eddie drinking blood from a chicken one early morning when he went to check the henhouse.
"Wait, babe, I can explain!" Eddie, lips blood red and eyes midnight black, had held onto Steve's hands pleadingly and desperately.
And though Steve had half a mind to suggest Eddie give the ducks, gooses, pigs, and cows a try, he decided to comfort his boyfriend first.
He told Eddie that he had been trying to avoid this exact scenario because he thought Eddie would drop him and hightail away the moment Steve discovered the truth.
This time, Eddie sat him down again and told him about the real reason why he had stolen those chickens.
This time, Steve finally learned about vampires and the truth about his boyfriend.
This time, Eddie cried bloody tears when Steve reassured him that he wouldn’t go anywhere no matter who Eddie was or chose to become.
Still, there was this question that he had been itching to ask Eddie.
"But why the chickens?"
"They're tasty. Can't help it, man."

Eddie: courting Buck gives flowers, takes on dates, etc Buck: Eddie is such a nice friend!
Flash Fiction #3 [Oblivious!Buck]
God, he loves Eddie.
For the millionth time, Buck breathes in the flowers the other man had given him this morning, ignoring the way Hen is looking at his besotted expression in absolute disgust. He doesn't blame her - Buck is pretty sure if there is anybody entitled to making faces at his pathetic crush on Eddie, it would be her. God knows how many times he’s talked about it Hen in just the past week.
“Awful nice of Eddie to get you flowers there, Buck,” she comments, and he shrugs off the pointed implication, mumbling excuses.
“Eddie’s just being a good friend.” There’s a collective groan on the other side of the firehouse, but Buck doesn’t pay it any mind as he sighs longingly at the bundle in his hands. “He’s such a nice friend…”
Hen chuckles, and she looks past his shoulder for a moment before she turns right back to him, asking, “And those times Eddie brought you to all those restaurants over the last month? What about those dates? Are those the kind of thing friends do?”
Stuttering, Buck shyly picks on one of the stems in the bouquet, “They weren’t dates… we were just, we were just going out as friends…”
She gives him a look, one that he recognises as her silently shouting at him that he was an idiot. “And did either of you said that, or was that the implication when you talked about how nice he looked the next day?”
Buck shakes his head, refusing to let the hope build. He smiles, a bit sadly, and says, “If, if it was a date, Eddie would’ve said so, right? He wouldn’t beat around the bush and do all of this… as much as I want them to be real—“
“They were. Dates, that is.” A hurried voice interjects, and Buck whirls around to find himself facing his best friend—Eddie looking right at him, his cheeks flushed an attractive shade of red as the man continues, “If you want them to be real dates, then they are, Buck. I want them to be as real as you think.”
As for Buck, well, his eyes flutter in a mix of surprise and shock, barely even registering the smug smirk on Hen’s face.

Not sure if you’re ok doing this but it’s up to you! Could you write Soap maybe comforting the reader who’s depressed? Or how he’d support them? Thanks! ☺️
totally comfy with it love <3 anything regarding mental health with done to the best of my knowledge!
While Soap knew that he didn't do anything to cause this, he still felt a pang in his heart at the sight of you laying on your side of the bed. You were in a hoodie with the hood pulled up. There were wrappers of food laying beside the bed and your phone was next to you.
Soap walked over to where you were laying and noticed your prescription on the nightstand next to you. He knelt down and placed his hand on top of your head causing your eyes to focus on him and not on the wall where you had just been spacing off to.
"There she is..." Soap smiled sadly, knowing that he truly could not help you in this situation. "Have you been taking you meds, love?" Your eyes shifted to the meds and back to Soap. "They make me lose my sparkle." Soap laughed before standing up. "Shove over and let me in. Wanna sit in wit' ya." You wiggled over and Soap sat down next to your laying figure, placing his arm around you and resting a hand on your shoulder.
"No, hen. They just bring your sparkle out. They make you sparkle." Soap sighed, staring straight ahead. His hand rubbed up and down your arm, wanting some way to comfort you in your low moment.
"They make me feel empty; like a shell of a person, Johnny." He didn't have to look at you to know you were crying. You both had this conversation before, you not wanting to take the medications and him wanting you to. He just wanted you to be okay.
"I know, but you need to. I don't want you to feel like this all the time." Soap looked down at you and found your wet eyes staring back at him. "I would rather feel something than nothing at all." Soap felt his breath stop for a moment, his eyes starting to swell with tears. "I'm sorry I don't understand what you're going through. I just want a way to support you."
You moved yourself up until you were laying in Soap's lap. He pushed your hood off and raked his fingers through your tangled hair. "I'm sorry for snapping.." You mumbled and Soap leaned down to kiss your head. "Don't. We are in this together." He whispered in your ear. "What do you need from me?" He asked, sitting up and you shrugged.
"What you're doing is enough. I think I want to take a nap. From there, we can work on getting out of bed for dinner?" You looked up at Soap, who nodded. "That sounds wonderful. Will you promise me a glass of water at dinner?" Your eyes crinkled with a smile before snuggling into his legs for your nap. "Don't push it, MacTavish. We'll start with getting to the table."
Soap smiled and pulled the blanket over you, leaning down to kiss you again. "Whatever you need, baby. I'm here for you, no matter how bad this gets. I'm here."

🐉 part 8
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6 part 7 part 9
Tumblr media
You stood up and took a deep breath,"Zuko you need to do something, the new Ozai society has attacked your home now. Remember what I told you" you said before walking away,"Where are you going?" Zuko asked," Trying to find my dragon" you said giving no room for him to argue.
Zuko sighed deeply before he turned to the others,"Let's continue, she will calm down with time but the issue we have is time-sensitive. I might have an idea where we can get more information"
Meanwhile Kiyi and her family where walking around the palace when the saw you storm away,"Why is y/n looking so angry?" she asked looking up at her father, who just crouched down to her size and smiled,"She is probably just having a bad day. Now let's go to bed, it's way past your bedtime". Ursa crouched down and wanted to reach for her youngest hand but Kiyi pulled her hand away before she had the chance,"Don't touch me, your hands are cold" Kiyi said loudly clinging to her father who looked down sadly at his wife.
You stood on your balcony which overlooked the city when the door opened behind you, "Princess, you have a visitor" a maid said making you turn around, "Uncle?" you said in disbelief, "Hello my sweet niece" he said walking over to you,"What are you doing here?" you asked looking up at his scared yet handsome face,"I just wanted to hear how the wedding plans are going" he asked smirking,"They have been put on hold Uncle, but everything is fine, so safe that smirk for something else" you said with a grin,"You are wearing it still" he said changing the topic, his hands curled around the necklace he gifted to you,"I like wearing it, matches a lot of my outfits" you said with a shrug but a smirk played on your lips,"Valyrīha korzion iksos nykeā sȳz fit syt nykeā prince hen uēpa valyrio (Valyrian steel is a good fit for a Princess of Old Valyria)" he said removing his hand from your necklace and moved his hand to your chin,"Issi ao biare? Nyke kostagon nykeēdrosa gūrogon ao qrīdrughagon (Are you happy? I can still take you away)" you scoffed,"Aōha nykeēdrosa tolī se pāletilla nyke ūndegon (Your still after the crown I see)" you hummed removing his hand away from your face,"Issa feelings issi drēje, se nyke jāhor ivestragon ao ziry arlī (My feelings are true, and I will tell you it again)" he than grabbed you by the back of the head to pull you closer to him,"Mērī nykeā zaldrīzes kostagon tepagon another zaldrīzes skoros pōnta drējī jorrāelagon (Only a dragon can give another dragon what they truly need)" he continued his lips ghosting your ear,"Se hāeda āeksio hasn't touched ao yet paktot? (The young Lord hasn't touched you yet right?)","It's non of your business Uncle" you said trying to push him away from you,"I take that as a no" he chuckled parting from you,"Has your wife given you a child yet? Or are you even able to give her one" you teased making him grunt and grab you by the neck," Since you came over here you started to be become disobedient, you used to follow me around like a shadow, what happened?" he asked," I got away from you. Now let go of me before I call for the guards, your nothing here" you spat making him let go,"I wish you luck in the search of your Dragon my dear niece, I hope you find him alive" he said before leaving the room, making you look at him with fury as you rubbed your neck,"Princess is everything all right?" Suki asked walking into the room after your Uncle left,"Yes, I'm fine. Suki join me in the search for Haku, I could use someone with your skills very well" you said, Suki looked at your neck before nodding slowly.
Zuko and the other meanwhile arrived at their destination,"What is this place?" Kei Lo asked looking around,"The Fire Sages Capital Temple" Mai answered,"You been here before?","Someone thought it would be romantic to show their girlfriend where his ancestors are buried," Mai said glaring at Zuko,"Well was he wrong? As if memory serves correctly someone was fascinated by it" Zuko said with a smirk making Mai scoff. Kei Lo wanted to say something but he couldn't find the right to say in this awkward moment so he just looked to Aang," So! You Guys! How about we Y'know.....get going with the....you know with what we are doing currently hehe..." he said awkwardly. Zuko and Mai ignored the antics and went deeper inside the temple where Zuko approached a Sage,"Great Sage Shyu" he greeted.
Ty Lee also joined you with Suki on the mission to find your Dragon, you walked along the secret path behind the place where Haku stayed in the fire nation, hoping to find a clue on his whereabouts,"How can someone just steal a large dragon-like that?" Ty Lee asked,"Someone who will do anything so Zuko won't have any advantages anymore" you said,"Maybe that's why Zuko didn't want you to get involved in the plan before," Suki said making you take a deep breath,"I did what I had too, Zuko was strong but he got overwhelmed by the New Ozai society," you said calmly,"All I did was help" you continued. Suki didn't answer," How will we find him?" Ty Lee filled in,"My connection to him should help, I can't explain but it's a spiritual connection. When he was taken I could feel what he was feeling. He's close I know he is". Suddenly you heard commotions from the directions of the palace," What's going on?" Ty Lee asked,"Don't know but we should check it out" she said running towards the palace, meanwhile you stayed standing still, Ty Lee noticed and walked back towards you,"Your not coming?","I need to find Haku, Zuko can handle whatever is happening" Ty Lee frowned,"But maybe he can't, with everything what is happening he might need you. Haku is a dragon, he be fine until you rescue him" you sighed,"Fine, let's go"
The two of you just arrived to see a hooded figure hop over the palace, the floor was covered in burn marks. Zuko had his head hanging low as Ursa was embracing her husband,"What happened?" you said jogging towards Zuko,"Kiyi, was taken by Azula" he said.
Zuko couldn't sleep he was just pacing around his room, you still stayed in his room for many reasons, one being you still couldn't sleep as your mother's death still haunted you but also you be sharing a room soon anyway, so might as well keep it up. You were doing some stitching while lying in bed,"It's all my fault, I'm a sheep" he said making you look up,"It's not easy being a dragon, but you have it in you, don't be scared to make decisions" you smiled, Zuko sighed and sat down beside you,"You're pretty good at this" he said looking at the dragon you have stitched,"Thank you" you smiled putting it down the table beside the bed,"You really believe in me in doing the right thing?" you nodded.
The next day Zuko was talking to General Mak," Seal off the Capital City, until this is resolved no one come in or out. Then send your soldiers to Ukon's(Mai's Dad) home to arrest him. If he isn't there, which he probably won't be, start searching the people's homes for him or anyone who is associated with him","Yes Fire Lord" the general said with a bow before leaving, you watched the exchange happening while standing beside Aang who shook his head in disapproval, "Zuko, this isn't the way. Please let me find Ukano! I will sit him down and talk to him. No soldiers!" he pleaded. Zuko turned to his friend and bowed his head,"Avatar Aang, Thank you for your assistance up to this point. You know how much I value your wisdom and friendship" he said lifting his head again, Aang furrowed his brows,"Why are you talking to me like that? All adult and stuff?!","We tried your approach and it didn't work. Y/N was right I'm done being a sheep, I will be approaching it differently now" Aang looked at you before looking back at Zuko, "Treating everyone like criminals will alienate the people further" Aang tried to reason, "The people are alienated because Zuko didn't take the right measures from the start Avatar Aang, things need to change before more children go missing" Aang was about to protest when Zuko ordered Suki and Ty-Lee to remove him.
Zuko took a deep breath, you rubbed his back,"It be worth it" You smiled up at him, Zuko returned the smile, your purple eyes shinned like the finest jewellery up at him, and he couldn't help but just melt."I heard about you wanting to arrest my father" Mai said walking in, making you sigh,"I'm sorry it has to be done","I'm not mad, it was just a matter of time, I'm sorry for lying about his involvement","Don't be I know how hard it must have been"Zuko said placing his hand on her shoulder,"I'm sorry about Kiyi as well but the arrests should give an inside of where the children could be" she added making Zuko nod,"The soldiers should be nearly done with the arrest, let's head to the prisons".
"A riot?" Zuko said making General Mak nod, "Yes but it has been quiet since we made the arrest", "What about my father?" Mai asked, "He slipped away during the riot" Mai scoffed, "Of course he did" Zuko rubbed her shoulder while General Mak ordered the exist of the prisoners. The three of you watched as the prisoners passed you by, some giving you curious looks while others plainly ignored you,. Mai perked up as a familiar face popped up,"Kei Lo? Zuko release him, this must be a mistake" she said walking towards him,"I don't think so" Zuko reasoned making Mai scoff,"What were you doing with them anyway?" Zuko asked," They literally bumped into me" Kei Lo reasoned, the boy behind him letting out a small sorry, Zuko rolled his eyes not really believing him,"Zuko come on, don't be petty" Mai said making Zuko look at her before sighing,"Let him go" he said making General Mak release him from his shackles. Kei Lo rubbed his wrist,"You have a pretty fiancé so why don't you focus on her and leave me and Mai be" he whispered towards Zuko,"I'm not jealous, just cautious" Zuko defended,"You're doing great" you said reaching for his hand, Zuko smiled and kissed your knuckles,"Zuko" Aang voiced called from the distance making you turn around,"We looked everywhere for you" he said as he approached,"Aang? I thought you left" Zuko said his hand still in yours,"Well you thought wrong buddy, Suki, Ty Lee and me found a hidden passage" Aang grabbed Zuko's other arm and tried to drag him away but Zuko was still bigger than him even he did grow since the war ended. Zuko was about to say something when General Mak came back again,"Fire Lord, the sun will set before we know it. We need a plan or our will people will rise up again" Zuko looked at his general before looking back at you, the setting sun hitting your silver hair making it glow, giving you the appearance of a beautiful spirit,"I'm sorry Aang, but the General is right. Like I told you before I have to handle this my way" Zuko let go of your hand and turned away from Aang who loosened his grip on him,"Even if your way is stupid?" Aang asked but was ignored, he then turned to you," This isn't right-","I'm sorry Avatar Aang but Fire Lords Zuko priority is to bring back the missing children" you said bowing your head before following Zuko.
Aang pouted, he then began forming an airball in between his hands,"Stand back" he said to Suki and Ty-Lee,"What are you doing?" the former asked,"Getting the Fire Lords and Princess's attention" he said throwing the air ball towards the two of you, a gasp left your lips when you where lifted into the air,"What the-" you gasped seeing Zuko being in the same predicament,"Aang put us down" Zuko said,"I will after I show the two of you something" he said bending the air balls alongside him towards back to the palace.
Aang dropped you and Zuko literally on top the roof, Zuko landed first with a loud thud, you fell on top making him grow,"Don't ever do that again" you growled,"I thought dragons like flying?" Aang teased making you roll your eyes, Zuko hand was on your waist, he was blushing at the position he found himself in,"But jokes aside look at this" Aang said making you stand up from the position making Zuko sigh,"A secret passageway! So is that how Azula and the others escaped?" you said looking into the black hole, the smell of cold filled your nostrils making you scrunch up your nose,"We used to play with those passageways when we were little, Zuko was to scared to play in them" Ty Lee said showing up from behind with Mai, Suki and Kei Lo,"To my defensive, she did tell me they were haunted" he said with still a light blush on his face, you giggled making him shove you slightly when suddenly a cry was heard, but it wasn't from a person,"Haku" you said softly before any of the others could do something you ran into the darkness,"Y/N, wait" Zuko called out,"Suki, Ty Lee stay to keep the palace safe" he said before following you quickly.
"Y/N, walk slowly" Zuko scolded,"Haku is close, I can feel him strongly," you said pushing forward. Suddenly you stopped, a wall, you placed your hand on it,"It's a fake wall. I can feel a breeze" you said moving back as Zuko and Aang moved forward," This must be it. Behind this door could be Kiyi and Tom-Tom" Zuko said,"And Azula" Aang added.
But behind the wall wasn't Kiyi nor Tom - Tom but a graveyard with Haku chained into the grounds with multiple chains holding him tight, burn marks where spotted around the ground showing that he put up a fight,"Haku" you cried, you kneeled down beside him,"ñuha mijegindita dōna valītsos skoros pōnta gaomagon naejot ao (my poor sweet boy what they done to you)" you said rubbing the bridge of his snout,"Let's get these off Haku"Aang said using his fire bending to melt the chains,"Thank you Aang" you smiled making smile back,Zuko joined in the help of freeing Haku,"Zuko what is this place?" Kei Lo asked," The Royal Family Graveyard" Zuko answered as a chain snapped under the heat," I thought that the what the Dragonbone Catacombs were for?" Aang asked he freed Haku of another chain, the white beast growling softly with every chain he was released off,"aderī ao sagon dāez arlī (soon you be free again)" you cooed, trying to keep him calm," No, the catacombs are only for the Fire Lords. This place is for everyone else. It's called the Garden of Tranquil Souls" Zuko said as the last chain fell of Haku making him growl and stand up, he shook his head and whole body."Hmm, Zuko I hate to break it you but....these souls don't seem so Tranquil to me"Mai said as a bunch of Kemurikage appeared. You quickly mounted Haku,"Y/N, take Haku out of here" Aang said,"He can help","He's angry, it will just end in a blood bath" Aang said you looked at Zuko," Listen to him" you sighed,"sōvegon" but Haku didn't listen he growled," Haku sōvegon" you said again,"Haku rȳbagon nyke (Haku listen me) rȳbās Haku (obey Haku) sōvegon" Haku growled and started to take off making you sigh in relief,"sȳz valītsos (good boy)" you said patting his neck, you looked down and saw a fight break out. Everything went well until a loud lighting strike hit near you making you gasp and look down,"Azula" you whispered seeing the Fire Nation Princess on top of the highest tomb smirking up at you, Haku growled and turned around,"daor, haku daor (no, Haku,no)" you said tugging at his turquoise tufts, but Haku was to angry and spat fire at Azula who was just jumped away,"dohaeragon nyke (serve me)" you said,"gīda, ziry won't ōdrikagon ao. Nyke maghagon ao naejot safety (
But behind the wall wasn't Kiyi nor Tom - Tom but a graveyard with Haku chained into the grounds with multiple chains holding him tight, burn marks where spotted around the ground showing that he put up a fight,"Haku" you cried, you kneeled down beside him,"ñuha mijegindita dōna valītsos skoros pōnta gaomagon naejot ao (my poor sweet boy what they done to you)" you said rubbing the bridge of his snout,"Let's get these off Haku"Aang said using his fire bending to melt the chains,"Thank you Aang" you smiled making smile back,Zuko joined in the help of freeing Haku,"Zuko what is this place?"

Nyke maghagon ao naejot safety (calm, she won't hurt you. I bring you to safety)" you said rubbing his neck steering him away from the fight.
"The Princess, seems to have trouble controlling that beast of hers"Kei Lo said,"He's angry and hurt, he also is trying to protect his rider who probably is feeling angry and hurt as well"Aang said,"It's not helping that Azula target her as well" Mai added.
You calmed Haku down and got him away from the scene back to the main part of the palace, not caring anymore if Dragon's being put in the public eye anymore, you landed in front of the castle. Guards where wide-eyed and stepped back a couple of steps, Ty Lee and Suki,"Y/n, why did bring Haku here" Suki asked,"I had trouble controlling him, both of our emotions where to high" you said burying your face into his scales,"The enemy already knows about him anyway, so why hide his existence" you said Haku moved his head towards you, slowly nudging you with his nose,"aōha ȳgha sir (your safe now)" you smiled at him. Suki smiled,"Where are others?","Fighting","Is that why Haku was hard to control?" you nodded,"My father told me once, that us controlling dragons is only an illusion, a power men shouldn't have trifled with, yet they are our greatest power, a power which protected us from the 100-year war" you said,"Men shouldn't have trifled with it but your now man, you got control back that all that matters" Suki smiled and Ty Lee nodded.
"Y/N"Kiyi screamed wiggling out Zuko's grip, you happily embraced her,"I'm so glad you're safe" you smiled, Kiyi giggled,"Of course, I'm safe. I was never in danger. I'm Zuzu sister after all" you laughed and nodded,"Yes you, are warrior Princess you could say" you said making her eyes light up,"Those this mean I can get my own dragon",you giggled and shook your head,"I think your parents won't be to keen on that" you said making her pout. You placed Kiyi on the floor as Zuko approached you,"Can we talk?" you nodded.
"I don't want to be a sheep but I'm scared that I have gone to far, Azula that I'm like her after all, that-","Being a dragon doesn't mean being evil, being a dragon means protecting what you love with everything you have. However, you do need to be careful dragons can't always be controlled as you have seen but I trust you in doing the right decision" you kissed his cheek making smile.

BUDDIE SNIPPET - The Dream
Ok so I've got so much stuff I've written that no one's seen yet, and this is a dream sequence I wrote for my slowburn canon dancer!Eddie fic that I just had to share. Rest of snippet under cut. Enjoy !
“Come back to bed, baby.” Shannon called, softly. She was wearing a pale nightgown, the kind with lace and satin that melted beneath your fingers. They were in Eddie’s bathroom in his LA home.
Eddie looked back at her, her soft features, her long brown hair. He was about to make a move to join her when the firehouse bell rang.
“I can’t, I have a call.” Eddie answered back, apologetically.
“Funny how we were never in sync. Whenever I wanted you to stay, you had to leave, and whenever I needed to leave, you wanted me to stay.” Shannon replied. There was no venom to her words, only tenderness. She smiled at him sadly.
“Will you be here when I come back?” Eddie asked, already knowing the answer.
Shannon walked towards him, placed a chaste kiss on his lips, and then softly whispered. “No.”
“Eddie, you’re on the ladder! Access the South East quadrant through the third floor balcony! We’ve got one injured male up here! Chim, Hen, you follow with medical! Let’s move, people!” Bobby’s voice rang from behind him. 
They were at a fire in an apartment building that looked oddly familiar.
“Where’s Buck?” Eddie asked.
“He’s already up there, waiting for you.” Bobby answered back.
“Better make it quick, smells like thunder!” Chim yelled from not too far away.
Eddie got to the ladder, hooked his cables and carabiners, and started climbing. He looked at his feet to make sure he didn’t miss one of the stairs beneath him. When he lifted his head up, Buck’s bed came into view. He was at the loft, climbing the stairs to Buck’s bedroom. He no longer had his turnouts on, instead he was wearing his military fatigues. 
“Buck?” He called. The bed was unmade, there was no sound apart from that of the shower running off in the distance. 
“Hey Eds, what are you doing here?” Buck came out of his en-suite bathroom, towel slung low on his hip as he’d just stepped out of the shower.
“Building’s on fire, we have to go.” Eddie answered too softly, he needed to be firmer but he just couldn’t bring himself to.
“I’ll be fine Eddie, don’t worry.” Buck said with a huff and a toothy grin. He moved closer to Eddie, his look shifting into something a little more sultry. “Besides, I’m already wet.” Buck’s voice dropped a couple of octaves.
The air changed suddenly. Buck’s face drew closer, and closer, until his lips hovered over Eddie’s. Eddie felt hot, burning in his cheeks as breath struggled to get past his lips. His eyes hooded, ears pink and lips wet, he moved to lean in right as he heard Hen’s voice echo right next to him.
“Found the source of ignition! Phew, boys you better put a lid on it otherwise you’ll bring the whole thing down!” Hen said with exhaustion yet still some traces of mirth to her voice.
Chim piped up next to her, turnouts covered in soot. “Seriously, guys, it’s burning my eyes.”
“They’re right, Evan. We can’t, we have to stop.” Eddie said yet he made no move to distance himself.
“Stop what?” Buck asked as their noses touched. “Aren’t you tired of doing the right thing?” He turned his head towards his bed, Eddie followed his gaze. There, laying on top of the covers, wearing barely anything, was Marisol. She had a wicked gleam in her eye, beckoning Eddie to join her.
“Well that surely put it out quick.” Chim quipped to Hen who gave him an approving nod.
“This is procedure, Buck. Army stuff, you wouldn’t get it.” Eddie said, his pained eyes never leaving Marisol.
“Hey, I was a navy SEAL for a day and a half, staff sergeant Diaz. Nothing in the books about this.” Buck said in his ear, a low chuckle escaping his throat. It sent shivers down Eddie’s spine.
“Oop, we’re back. Go get the hose, Chim!” Hen exclaimed.
Eddie could feel Buck’s breath hot on the shell of his ear, big, scalding hands reaching his sides. Buck’s lips connected with the nape of his neck, and Eddie’s eyes slipped shut as Buck’s hot tongue licked over his skin. Eddie let go, melting into Buck’s heat and his embrace.
“It’s too hot! We need to ventilate!” Chim yelled from a distant place, his voice drowned out by the feeling of Buck on Eddie’s body.
The fire alarm rang somewhere but it was muted too. It got louder and— 
Eddie opened his eyes. 
It was 5:30 AM. Time to get up, go for a run, shower, make breakfast, and wake Christopher up for school. And after the dream he just had, Eddie could sure use a run. 
What the hell was that?

Wow, okay..
I love that anytime I see Elvis on screen or anywhere I just can’t stop smiling or keep my eyes off him. I swear I got lost in just how gorgeous he looked in this documentary. This was a really good movie! I feel like most things we kinda know but then there were things that we may not have known. I really enjoyed that they had some of the women that were in the audience when he was performing on the little stage, and just their experience of being so close to this man. Seeing him perform and how amazing he was and how good he looked. Also, Susan Henning and a another dancer giving their take. I loved! Susan is so cute. Then on top of that getting to know Steve and his work more. But also not Alanna Nash being in this, lol.
Anyway, it always makes me mad that Elvis and Steve never got a chance to work together again because he really did trust him. Steve just understood what he needed and understood Elvis.
They sadly didn’t mention what he uh.. did in his pants. Which I had a feeling they wouldn’t, lol.

“Hey Bee” Henry says, holding his phone to his ear with his shoulder as he stirs the beef and vegetable stew currently cooking away in the slow cooker. He’s been looking forward to this all day, even baked some fresh sourdough to go with it.
“Uncle Hen… can you… come get me… please?” Poppy, his 16 year old goddaughter, gasps between sobs, making his stomach go cold.
“What’s wrong sweetheart, what’s happened?” he asks, quickly putting the lid back on the crockpot and switching it to the ‘keep warm’ setting as his heart starts to race. If something’s happened to his little bee…
“Mum n’ Dad… hate me… kicked…I can’t...” she stammers, sounding like she’s barely able to get any air, making him panic even more.
“Pop, sweetheart, I need you to stop and breathe for me, I can’t understand you…” he tells her, trying to keep his voice as calm as he can so she doesn’t panic even more.
He lets out a quiet breath, relaxing slightly when he hears her starting to take long, deep breaths
“That’s it Pop, good girl… talk to me, what’s going on?” he asks, starting to look around for his wallet and keys. He could have sworn he put them on the kitchen table after his run this morning.
“Mum and Dad… kicked me out” she tells him, making him stop in his tracks.
“They what?!” he half yells in shock. There’s no way she just said what he thinks she did.
“Uncle Hen, they called the police… I’m scared” she whispers, her voice cracking. It makes his heart break as anger boils to the surface. He’s going to kill her parents.
“Poppy, I’m coming. Stay on the phone with me sweetheart” he says, finally spotting his wallet and keys on the buffet in the corner of the dining room.
“O… OK… please hurry” she begs as he grabs his keys and bolts out the door.
Tumblr media
“Poppy!” Henry calls out as he opens his car door, his heart pounding in his chest. He’d spent the 15 minute drive to get to her filled with rage, his knuckles turning white from how tightly he was gripping the steering wheel.
He can’t fathom how, or why, her parents could do this.
“Uncle Hen” she cries, pushing past the female officer standing in front of her and racing over to him, leaping into his arms.
“I’ve got you sweetheart, you’re ok” he tells her, cradling the back of her head as she buries her face in his neck and breaks down.
“Please don’t let them take me Uncle Hen… please” she begs, holding onto him in a vice grip.
“No one’s taking you anywhere sweetheart, I promise” he whispers, rubbing her back as he watches the female officer from before slowly making her way over to them.
He prays she doesn’t say he can’t take Poppy home with him.
“Hi, I’m PC Daniels” she says quietly, looking at him with a sympathetic smile as Poppy lets out shuddery breaths, trying to calm herself.
“Henry, Poppy’s godfather… what happened??” he asks, running his fingers through Poppy’s hair and gently massaging the back of her scalp the way she loves.
“I’m not exactly sure. My partner and I responded to a call of a domestic dispute and when we got here she was on the front steps hysterical. My partner’s inside talking with her parents now”
“They don’t want me anymore” Poppy mumbles into his neck before resting her head on his shoulder and looking up at him, her face all red and puffy.
“Oh Bee” he says sadly as he gently sets her down, brushing her hair out of the way as he looks at her heartbroken face, all red and swollen from crying.
“I… I got home from football practice and Mum and Dad told me to pack my bags and get out. They’re done, they don’t want me anymore” she tells him as tears start welling in her eyes again, her chin quivering as she tries not to break down again.
“You’re going to come home with me” he says, wiping the tears away before quickly glancing at PC Daniels out of the corner of his eye and letting out a small sigh of relief when she nods.
“Let’s go get a bag packed” PC Daniels says, giving Poppy a soft smile as she holds her hand out towards her.
She just stares at it for a few seconds before looking at Henry with worry all over her face.
He doesn’t blame her. Her world’s just been turned upside down and she didn’t know what to think
“It’s OK Bee, I promise” he tells her as he kisses the top of her head, his heart aching at seeing her so scared.
She nods and cautiously takes PC Daniels’ hand, following her inside just as her parents come out with another officer.
Henry watches in anger as she shys away from them, almost cowering in fear.
“What the fuck Richard?!” he demands as soon as Poppy is out of earshot.
“Hen…” Richard says cautiously, almost like he’s trying to calm the furious 6’1” man in front of him.
“NO! SHE’S SIXTEEN! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Henry roars, his chest heaving as PC Daniels’ partner steps in front of him, blocking him from getting to Poppy’s father.
“I was out of the house at fifteen, she needs to be independent sometime” Abigail, Poppy’s mother, says with a shrug.
“Are you fucking kidding me Abi?! Your parents neglected you so you’re gonna do the same to your daughter?!” he snaps, his blood pressure rising by the second
“It’s not neglect” Abigail replies definitively, crossing her arms.
“Oh I’m sorry, I worded it wrong. CHILD ABANDONMENT!” he yells, making Abigail stumble back in shock at Henry yelling in her face.
“Hey! Don’t you dare speak to her like that” Richard snaps, making Henry let out a low growl.
“OK, let’s take a step back and calm down, I really don’t want to have to arrest you” PC Daniels’ partner says, quietly enough that only Henry can hear him.
“You’re a pathetic excuse for a mother Abigail, and you Richard… I don’t even know who you are anymore. Don’t bother coming into work tomorrow, you’re fired. This friendship is over. You disgust me” Henry spits towards the man he’s known for over twenty years as his daughter comes out with a large duffel bag over her shoulder.
Tumblr media
“Hey Kal” Poppy says quietly, kneeling down and fussing over the Akita bouncing around excitedly at the appearance of one of his favourite people.
“You hungry Pop? I made that beef stew you love” Henry says as he sets her bag down in front of the entry stand before putting his keys and wallet in the tray on top.
“No” she says quietly, shaking her head as her stomach lets out a loud growl, betraying her.
“Are you sure?” he asks, raising his brow at her playfully.
“Maybe a little” she replies, chewing her lower lip a little.
“Go choose a movie, I’ll be in soon” he tells her, nodding towards the living room.
He watches as she goes and curls up on the couch under a blanket, Kal stretching out next to her, his head resting on her lap.
Letting out a sad sigh, he heads into the kitchen and starts serving up their dinner, looking over at her every few minutes, his heart breaking more every time.
He can’t understand why her parents did what they did, she’s an amazing kid. He’s beyond proud of the young woman she’s becoming.
“Uncle Hen” she calls out, pulling him from his thoughts.
“Yes sweetheart?” he says, looking over at her curled up with Kal.
“Can I um… can I have a drink?” she asks cautiously.
He pauses for a moment, thinking. Normally it’s her dad that makes this decision… but now he’s her dad, kind of. He’s the one responsible for her.
He looks back at her as she chews on her thumbnail and realises just how much he wants a drink too.
What harm would one glass of wine do?
“One” he tells her, opening one of the overhead cabinets and pulling out a bottle of Sophie, his fiancée’s, favourite red.
He finishes dishing up their food before opening the bottle and pouring each of them a glass, as well as an ice water.
“Don’t tell Soph” he tells her with a wink as he carries everything over and sets it on the coffee table.
“It’s our secret” Poppy says quietly, smiling at him.
She gently shoo’s Kal off the couch and gets the smaller bowl of stew, stirring it round with her spoon and dipping a piece of fresh sourdough into it before staring at it.
“You gotta eat Pop. It doesn’t have to be much but you need to have something” he tells her, watching her as she dips the piece of bread again.
“What did I do wrong?” she whispers, her voice breaking.
“You have done nothing wrong, you understand me, absolutely nothing” he tells her as he gently wipes her eyes, his heart breaking that she thinks this is her fault.
“Then why?” she asks, looking at him, her eyes full of fresh tears.
“I wish I could tell you Bee but I don’t know, I’m so sorry” he says, kissing her forehead.
“I don’t wanna go back, if they change their minds, I don’t…” she says quietly, biting her lower lip to try and keep her tears at bay.
“You don’t have to. You will always have a home with me Pop, always” he tells her, meaning every word. He will do everything in his power to make sure she doesn’t have to go back to her parents.
She nods at him before biting into her bread, letting out a small hum as she chews. She’s always loved Henry’s cooking and this is no exception.
They eat in silence, neither one of them really paying attention to Shrek playing on the TV.
It’s one of Poppy’s favourites. Welcome to Duloc normally has her in tears of laughter, but not tonight. The world’s funniest joke wouldn’t make her laugh.
After a while she puts her half empty bowl back on the coffee table and picks up her wine, swallowing it down in a few mouthfuls before slouching back against the couch and hugging her knees to her chest, trying to make herself as small as she can.
“Come here” he says quietly, holding out his arm. She quickly slides across the couch and curls into his side, letting out a content hum as he wraps his arm around her.
“Thank you” she whispers, trying to snuggle closer to him.
“You never have to thank me for this. I’m always going to be here for you, as long as I’m breathing I’ll be here, I promise” he tells her, pressing a few kisses to the top of her head before turning his attention back to his food
It’s not long before she dozes off, making him smile when she starts making quiet noises. She’s done it for as long as he can remember, mumbles nonsense in her sleep.
“Pop, sweetheart” he says quietly, rubbing her upper arm as she stirs.
She lets out a grumpy whine and looks up at him pouting, annoyed at being pulled from her sleep.
“Let’s get you to bed, you’re exhausted” he tells her, trying not to laugh at how cute she looks.
“Can I stay with you… just tonight??” she mumbles, her eyes fluttering shut.
“Of course you can, come on” he says before helping her up and guiding her to his room, Kal following closely behind them.

Can I ask for the goth kids with a s/o who’s being severely bullied?
Of course you can! I hope you enjoy :) And if you ever need anyone to talk to about anything, you can always shoot me a message!
Warnings: reader being bullied, mentions of bullying
~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, you were a subject to bullying. You had no clue why. You were sweet, stayed to yourself, hell, you usually had your face buried in a book 24/7. It made you wonder why you were subject to people’s taunts, and even more so made you wonder why these young adults were acting like they were still in highschool. You thought since it was college, all the senseless bullying and bitching would end. God, you wished you were so lucky.
Leaving your college for the last time that day, you trudged to your car. Cranking the engine, you whipped out of your parking spot, practically flooring it as tears began to bubble up in your eyes. Your heart hurt at the words of the bullies, your stomach twisting uneasily as the weight of their words finally began to settle in your mind. Nearly blinded by the tears welping up in your eyes, it was like your body had taken control of itsself, managing to get you home with water clouded vision.
Arriving at your home, you shut your car off, not bothering to grab your stuff as you ran to the front door, flinging it open and slamming it shut behind you. You looked to the couch, seeing that you’re love was sitting there, the television running but attention on you. You flung yourself on them, burying your face into their lap. Stroking your hair, they asked you:
Michael:
“Hey, what’s the matter?” your boyfriend, Michael, asked softly. You never picked up your head, mumbling something into his lap. “What?” he asked, brows furrowing. Turning around, you rested your head against his thighs, his fingers never stopping running through your (h/c) locks. “I feel like I’m in fucking highschool again.” you groaned, your (e/c) eyes looking into his deep brown ones. Michael winced, noticing how your eyes were red and slightly swollen.
“What happened?” he prodded, reaching to grab the television remote to mute the background noise. “I’m getting fucking bullied. For everything. My hair, my body, my voice, hell, even the way that I act. I can’t read my book while not bothering anyone without someone saying some shit about it. I fucking hate that stupid ass college. Everyday makes me want to drop out!” you snapped at no one in particular, hands moving wildly as you explained your woes. Michael wiped away the tears that you didn’t even know were running down your cheeks, too caught up in your story to notice.
“Don’t let those dickhats get to you, (Y/n),” Michael started, rubbing your cheeks to soothe you, “They’re nobodies. They peaked in highschool, and all they know is how to be an asshole. If you wanna drop out of college, I support you 100%, but they don’t deserve your tears. We can get you enrolled into some online classes, as long as you’ll be happy and stop coming home crying.” You stared up at Michael, listening to the sweet tone in his voice. Smiling up at him, you leaned up, pressing a kiss against his lips. “Thank you, Michael. I love you.” you murmured, pressing your forehead against his. “I love you, more.” he replied, wrapping an arm around you to pull you close.
Henrietta:
“What’s wrong, dear?” Henrietta hummed, her fingers twisting in your hair. You sighed heavily, breath catching as though you were ready to sob. “I’m just sick of being bullied, Hen. Like, that’s middle school shit, I’m in college. I shouldn’t have to feel like ripping my hair out because of some stupid ass words.” you huffed, the sadness you came home with being replaced with anger by the whole situation. Your girlfriend hummed, beginning to braid small strands of your hair.
“Bullying sucks, no matter what age you are. And sadly, it’s just gonna happen. That’s the sick, twisted reality of being alive.” she explained, using logic to make you feel better. “But when will it ever fucking end? I don’t do anything to anybody. Why is it just me?” you retorted, voice cracking as you started crying. Henrietta sighed, her fingers stalling their braiding. “Turn over.” she ordered. You obliged, turning to lay on your back instead of your stomach, your tear filled eyes looking up at her. It hurt her to see you upset, but she knew sugarcoating things was not the way to go.
“It’s not just you, (Y/n). I was bullied for years because of my weight… Not even was. I still get comments made about my body, but I literally do not give a shit. Because at the end of the day, they go home to their dog, or cat, or no one, and end up crying themselves to sleep because they’re sad and alone forever. Meanwhile, I get to go home, eat dinner with you, and then sleep in the same bed as someone who loves me. The only difference between our experiences is that I never gave a shit. I don’t care what people say about me, and you really shouldn’t either. It’s not good for your brain.” Henrietta explained, tapping your forehead. You stayed silent, thinking on her words.
“I guess you’re right…” you said quiety. Henrietta smiled, leaning down to plant a kiss on your forehead. “I know I’m right.” she quipped, pressing a few more kisses over your face. “Now, stop crying. It’s gonna make me kill a bitch.” your girlfriend threatened, resuming her attention back to the show she was watching. You smiled fondly up at her, a dreamy look in your eyes. “I think I’m more attracted to you than I ever was.” you mumbled, your heart fluttering in your chest.
Pete:
“What’s up?” Pete inquired, turning his full attention to you. You turned on your back to look up at him, a frown evident on your face. “I’m being bullied… I feel like a teenager again.” you griped, anger flaring. You couldn’t even be sad at this point. The fact that you were a victim of this bullshit did nothing but make your blood boil. Pete’s heart broke seeing how bad the bullying was affecting you.
“Why don’t you just drop out?” your boyfriend suggested, snapping you out of your thoughts. Dropping out was definitely a possibility, but it was going to be such a pain to find classes to do online. “Well, I’d have to enroll in classes online.” you replied. “No you don’t. Drop out of college completely,” Pete said nonchalantly, “What good is it doing you anyway? If you drop out, then you never run the risk of being bullied.”
You listened to his words, mulling what he was saying over in your head. Pete was right. The senseless bullying would end and you wouldn’t have to be subject to the terror that is college-turned-highschool ever again. Sighing, you nodded, confirming his offer. “It would also give me more time to annoy you.” you snickered, reaching your hand up to pinch Pete’s cheek. He grumbled, rolling his eyes. “Nevermind, stay in school so I can have my 8 hours of freedom.”
