    Summary

    "You should embrace the chaos a little more, Cap. It'd be good for you."
    Bobby leans forward, rests his elbows on the table, and clasps his hands together as he surveys his probie appraisingly. "Buckley, you have brought me nothing but chaos since you stepped into my Firehouse."

     

    bobby's still not sure why exactly the 118's latest recruit wants to spend so much time with him.
    but with the echoes of the concert still ringing in his ears, he isn't really complaining.
    he might even be enjoying himself.

     

    (aka a glimpse into buck & bobby's dynamic before they were anything other than coworkers)

    Summary

    “Hey,” Braden said with a snap of his fingers in Bobby’s face. “Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. So long as you behave.”

    But that was the thing about being exposed to strangers. They saw but they didn’t know. Bobby was worried about Buck but he was always worried about Buck. Every call, every bad day, every good day. Buck was on the forefront of his mind right next to the kids and Athena.

    He should’ve sent Buck home that morning.

    Summary

    It’s clear that something's up, but the eggshells they all walk on around Buck feel more like twisted shards of their own ladder truck ready to bore deep into their soles and souls. Bobby is the captain; his responsibility is to monitor his team, intervene when needed.

    The problem is, he hasn’t quite figured out the difference between what Buck needs and what he needs.

    or, there's something wrong with buck, and bobby finds himself walking the tightrope of things left unsaid.

    Summary

    Happy Hogan had never had the most skill when it came to romantic relationships. And for the longest time, hadn’t had the most skill in any kind of relationship—his best friend was his boss.

    So, when he met May Parker and convinced her to go on a date with him he was equally surprised and excited. And the date had gone…amazingly. Before the night was even over, while still in the car, she was already offering the next free spot in her schedule.

    It wasn’t until the fifth date that she dropped a bit of a bomb.

    (Or: Happy meets Peter Parker)

    Summary

    Tony seems to panic for a moment, shifting his weight foot to foot, before spitting out in one mouthful, “I have a business trip in Florida right before your spring break and I talked to May and she says I can bring you to Disney for the week once it’s done ahhh.” He then breathes, grins plastically, and holds his hands out, like, I’m Tony Stark, hold your applause.

    Peter runs the words through his head no less than three times to make sure he had understood them properly. “Disney—you and me—spring break?” he repeats.

    Tony nods, hair flopping. “I mean, like, don’t feel obligated to say yes, but I thought it would be fun since May says you’ve never gone and she would’ve been working for your whole break anyway, y’know, at least this way we won’t be worrying about you sitting home alone for hours doing G-d only knows what—building accidental robot armies or something, or, worse, becoming a couch potato and forgetting every bit of knowledge I’ve ever carefully placed in that rat trap you call a brain—”

    “Tony,” Peter says, waving his hands to shut Tony up. Something warm sits in the core of his chest, hovering. “Yeah,” he says. “Yeah, yeah, for sure, let’s—Disney. Let’s go. Wow.”
