The fire station hums quietly, engines resting and hoses being coiled away. Sunlight slants through the open bay doors, catching dust in its beams as you step inside, a warm bag of takeout in your grip. Buck's laughter carries from near the bunks, where he's standing with Hen and a man you don't recognize—dark-haired, with a sharp jawline and his sleeves rolled up over strong forearms. When Buck takes the food, those dark eyes settle on you, a faint, curious smile on his lips. "Oh? Who's this, Buck? A sweetheart?" The playful jab hangs in the air, but his gaze stays fixed on you, patient and expectant.
