You die while they're Working Headcanon

*This is sad but I couldn't resist, it's been in my draft much like... every other thing I want to write

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake

- He wouldn't know until a couple of hours after he was back on the ground after training

- He was in the air, acting cocky as all hell

- It was a normal day like nothing was different

- Beau was the one to get the call

- Bradley was the one to tell him

- And when his frenemy told him about the news, it takes him a couple of minutes before all the information clicks

- The poor man wouldn't know how to console him or calm Jake as the tears pool in the Texan boys eyes

- Jake's legs give out and he's going down

- Bradley catches him and his suit is sticking to him as he lets the man begin grieving

- No one’s ever seen him this way

- He was quiet in the sky whenever it was his turn

- It was hard for him to process but eventually the Hangman everyone knew slowly began to return but the spark in his eye was gone

- Everyone knew it might not ever come back and felt bad they couldn’t do anything about it

Bradley

- He had yet to take off

- Pete got the call

- Natasha was in the room with him but the older man felt it was his duty to tell his godson

- She understood and felt the same way

- Another reason why her best friend didn’t see her that morning

- Bradley had no idea what Pete was going to tell him

- Then the words came out and he did nothing

- The poor boy- he just stood there, unable to move and then came the water works

- His mustached quivered before he sniffled

- This is the second worse thing the two men have ever heard and had to deal with in their lives

Bob

- He wasn't told until the end of the day

- He had a gnawing feeling in his stomach all day but couldn't put his finger on why

- Beau got the call

- No one could figure out who should tell him (out of Beau, Pete, and Bernie)

- There was no way they were going to drag Natasha into this

- They didn’t even know if she would be able to tell him because Pete and Bernie know that she introduced the two of you

- And them talking with the door open was one of the worst things they could have done

- Bob walked by the door as they were still trying to figure it out and almost lost it right then and there

- Instead, he was running on his emotions and stormed into the room, demanding answers

- Something he instantly regretted doing

- The Vice Admiral sent him home, giving him time to try and collect himself

Javy

- He didn’t know until after he came back from his recent deployment

- Bernie got the call with his friend in the room

- And that’s when Jake decided to take matters into his own hands (with permission because this is such a serious matter)

- He’s the first face Javy sees after taking a shower

- He has barley finished getting dressed when he felt something off with his friend

- Jake lets him start the conversation before he explains to him the news he’s just learned

- They sit on the bench in front of the lockers as Javy stares at picture he has of the two of you in his locker

- It takes him a few weeks before he is comfortable enough to come back to base a little better

- You know, not crying anytime anyone asks if he’s okay

Natasha

- She wasn’t meant to be on base but here she is

- The base mail guy tried to send it to her but didn’t know where she was and Bob happened to walk by

- He passed the letter to him and ran off

- Bob wasn’t trying to he nosy but when he saw a familiar phrase on it, he knew something bad had happened

- He ran to find Pete because he doesn’t want to tell the other members of the squad

- The man didn’t know what Bob was going to tell him, he very much wasn’t expecting this

- Pete opens the letter and skims through it, finding that it was about you

- He knows everyone is going to be devastated and feels it would be better coming from him

- Bernie was in the room with him and he makes sure Bob is nearby in case she needs a familiar face

- Bernie would have done it but he doesn’t know if Nat would want to listen to him after

- She knew something was off when she got here, it was her day off and she’s here

- She missed spending time with you to be here

- She takes a leave of absence which everyone understands

- It takes Beau threatening to discharge her for her to go in the air again

Neil

- Beau got the letter and felt he should be the one to tell him

- Poor guy was so nervous when he got called in by the big man

- He didn't know what was going to happen

- Logan was hyping him up by saying he was going to be promoted or something of that extent

- It was awkward when he sat down but then the words came out of the admiral's mouth and his world fell apart

- He honestly didn't believe him at first

- But that letter slid across the way and he knew it was real

- His life wouldn’t be the same

- It took everyone a minute before they realized it was something serious

- Nothing could have prepared anyone for this

Callie

- She was getting ready for practice when it happened

- Beau got the call but thought Bernie might be the better choice

- She was confused when he called her and pulled her outside their “hangout” room

- She slid down the wall after he told her

- It was the worst thing she could have heard

- Even for her fellow squad mates

- They weren’t trying to listen, but it was hard not to put two and two together with all the commotion coming from outside the door

- It took a while before she came back to work

- Sticking with paperwork for a bit before trying to get back into her plane

- She saw your old plane and decided that’d be it, she’d fly it

- It was the only thing that could bring her some sort of comfort

- Beau wasn’t to upset when she decided to fly it (more than her own)

- The only reason was because his seniors were on his ass about it, but he understands what she’s going through

Logan

- He didn’t know what was going to happen that day but he could sense something was going to change his life

- It was like a back and forth game between the three men when they tried to figure out who should tell him the news

- They decided to have Beau call him in do they could all tell him

- He felt like a kid being called to the principals office

- The squads comments didn’t help either (it was just before they needed to start training)

- He waited, for what seemed like hours, before Beau said anything

- He lost it when he finally heard and didn't know how to act when he got back to everyone

- Callie made sure everyone took turns checking on him

Billy

- He thought everything was fine… until it wasn’t

- Bernie had to tell him, he didn't have to talk to Pete or Beau. He thought it'd be better coming from him

- The two talked and stayed together for a few hours before he decided it was time to go home and take some time off to process and grieve

- He didn’t think that he should tell anyone (not wanting to worry them

- Everyone found out because Pete and Bernie were worried about him

- Pete didn't want him to go through this alone and feel as though he had to

- He was not alone for even a second

- Everyone came his way, offering food, a place to say, etc, etc

- No one was upset with his brief leave, they understood and wanted him to come back when he knew he could be in the air and his mind not be elsewhere

Mickey

- He still doesn’t know what happened exactly, even now when he thinks back or has nightmares

- He thought Beau and Pete were surprising him with something else when they told him they needed to see him as soon as he landed

- He was one of the few up for a new position and this was the worst thing he could have ever heard

- He waited till he was alone before breaking down in the locker room

- No one knew what he did until was he found by Jake

- The blond was thrown off and knew something bad had happened, kept the poor distraught man at bay until Reuben could get there

- His friend drove him back to their shared apartment and let him cry before explaining what happened

- Natasha got everyone down to the bar so they could hold a private ceremony in your honor. They all loved you and they needed to grieve with him

- It was a while before he decided he was done being on desk duty

- Natasha grabbed him by the collar and threw him into her plane so they could practice

- Bob got him a collectable item the two of you wanted when your one year anniversary came up and he teared up

- It was a while before he started dating again, not being able to see your face or hear your voice made it harder

- He added a letter he'd written to you in the early years of your relationship to his locker and it was his lucky charm

Reuben

- He hoped that everything would be fine

- But when he saw Pete walking down that hallway in his fast and serious manner, he knew it had to do with you

- The squad has never seen this man cry (sober, of course). So, imagine how they'd feel when they heard the news

- Only reason they found out was because Pete was holding him while he wept and kept begging for you

- They couldn’t leave him behind because they know how hard it is to go through grief whether you’re on your own or not

- When it first happened, Mickey made sure he ate when he was at home

- He took a few months off to fully grieve you so he could make sure his head was in the game and not hurt anyone

- The others made sure he never went to bed or woke up with an empty stomach

- They're the only ones keeping sane throughout the wake and funeral but he's happy he has them by his side otherworldly who knows what would have happened to him

Brigham

- None of the older guys wanted to talk about it but couldn't put it off forever

- When he was called into the Beau’s office, hearing this devastating news is not how he thought he was going to start training

- Bernie was the the one to tell him but Beau was in the room with him, explaining that they understood if he needed some time off

- It was a couple of hours until the rest of the squad heard about it because they were all training before him

- When they got back, they teased him for not being there until he told them with little to no emotion

- Logan and Neil checked on him constantly

- Natasha got everyone together so they could through a small potluck in your honor because everyone loved you and knew you two were meant to be

- They were excited when his name was on the board to practice and practically threw themselves at him as they hugged

-
