Fandom Fire Station | Tuesday

[firehousehimbo]

Buck was determined not to be washing confetti off of himself today, so he was not opening anything. Nothing at all. Not a single drawer. Which...made his job even less thrilling than usual.

Which is how he ended up sleeping at the reception desk, legs propped up on the desk itself while the rest of his body was curled up in the rolly chair. He was definitely going to wake up with a crick in his neck.

[This brought to you how I just took a nap while working from home. Open]

Comments

[justalittlerepressed]

Yeah, that was pretty adorable. In, like, a very bro way.

Sure.

"Buck," Eddie said, trying not to knock him off his balance this time around.

[firehousehimbo]

Buck cracked an eye open, seemingly not noticing that he had been drooling a little. "Wha--"

[justalittlerepressed]

"You've got a little," Eddie because, smirking a little as he gestured at his own face to give him an idea.

[firehousehimbo]

"Shit," Buck mumbled, swiping his hand across his face. He slid his legs off the desk, wincing as he did so. "Oh man, I'm too old to be sleeping in office chairs."

[justalittlerepressed]

"You really are," Eddie agreed. "Need some coffee or something?

To stay wide awake for all the emergencies here.

[firehousehimbo]

"Yes, desperately." He hadn't made any coffee here this morning because that would have involved opening things. He was going to be confetti-free today, god damn it.

[justalittlerepressed]

"Give me five," he said, knowing full well that he wasn't about to touch the coffee pot in the station, but could make the jog on over to the coffee place in town.

"You want one of those mocha frap sugar bombs, right?" he asked, jogging backwards with a grin.

[firehousehimbo]

"Extra whipped cream," Buck said with a nod. "Thank you, best fake husband ever."

[justalittlerepressed]

Eddie laughed and shook his head before disappearing from view to get that sugary monstrosity. With a normal coffee for himself.

That was also very sweet, but you couldn't tell.

"Did I make it in probie time?"

[firehousehimbo]

"You were only carrying two drinks," Buck said with a grin. "You can't try for probie time unless you're carrying drinks for at least 6 other people."

[justalittlerepressed]

"So, if I get more drinks, then we can test it?" Because that might happen. Just for something to do.

[firehousehimbo]

"I mean, yeah," Buck said. "But then we'd have a whole other problem with what to do with the extra coffee."

[justalittlerepressed]

"We could drink them." Oh yeah, they needed the extra caffeine. Great plan.

[firehousehimbo]

"Now as an EMT, I know you're not suggesting we drink at least six caffeinated beverages." Think of their heart rates!

[justalittlerepressed]

Look how bored he was, Buck! Look at it!

"Decaf?"

[firehousehimbo]

Buck sighed. "Maybe if it's those milkshakey things you get kids or dogs."

That way if Eddie spilled it he wouldn't get third degree burns.

[justalittlerepressed]

But then they'd have something to treat at least.

"The whipped cream cups?"

[firehousehimbo]

"Yeah, those thingys," Buck said with a nod. "I'm sure they've heard weirder requests over there."

[justalittlerepressed]

"We could turn that into a relay race kind of thing." This is why they needed Bobby around. This right here.

[firehousehimbo]

"...I could be into that." Of course you could, Buck. This was going to end up with white stains on dark uniforms and people were going to have Questions.

[justalittlerepressed]

It was just whipped cream! ...wait, that wouldn't make the answers better.

"And it would help us be ready for something happening across town." Or just at the coffee shop. Which might actually be a good plan for this place.

[firehousehimbo]

"You know we can just do something 'cause it'd be fun, right?" Buck asked. "It's not like anyone is checking on us."

[justalittlerepressed]

"Of course." He had fun. He wasn't desperate for a purpose to distract himself from life. No, no...

[firehousehimbo]

"Okay, just making sure," he said with a grin. "I only want fun in my relay races."

[justalittlerepressed]

"So I'll go a little slower to give you a chance," Eddie replied with an answering grin.

[firehousehimbo]

"Starting the shit talk already?" Buck asked. "Sounds like you're compensating for something."

Slowness! Not...anything else.

[justalittlerepressed]

What else could it be!

"Oh no, I just wanna keep it fair for you."

[firehousehimbo]

Buck rolled his eyes. "I will let my performance speak for itself."

The both of them were going to end up with whipped cream on themselves. But at least it wasn't confetti.

[justalittlerepressed]

See, there was the bright side there!

"Oh, sure," Eddie said, taking a sip of his coffee and nodding.
