Tumblr media
The day was coming to an end, a small heatwave conjuring up a sweat as you wiped down your last table for the night. You blew out a breath, brushing back a sheen of perspiration with your forearm, watching the last customer walk out of the restaurant as the bell chimed above their head.
You never understood why people chose to sit inside when there were tables out on the sidewalk. It was hotter in here than out there, especially since the air conditioner had gone out just a few days prior and the fans above the tables were only circling the air inside. It was an actual oven, but they contended.
Your hightops heaved across the tile, dragging yourself with the sufficiency of a person who was only working because they had to. You kicked up the doorstop, pulling the door towards you with a small amount of goodwill and vigor to finish locking up, flipping the paper sign over from open to closed. It wasn't as if you hated your job. You thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of it all. It was the only person working the night shift job you hated with every fiber of your being. You weren't completely alone in the restaurant, having a few cooks and the owner to keep you company, especially on busy nights like the one you just had.
"I'm clocking out, Mrs. Turner!" You call out, reaching behind your back to untie the knot of your apron, pulling it up and off your neck once the ties came undone. Trudging back to the table, you picked up the disinfectant wipe and toss it in the bin, making your way to your boss's office before hanging up your apron on the hook. "Mrs. Turner...?" You murmur softly, poking your head in through the doorway, only to see her counting the profits for the day. "I'm heading home," You chime, pointing behind your shoulder with your thumb as she glances up at you.
"Alright, Honey," She beams, a bright smile pulling at her lips as her eyes meet yours. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"
Working for the Turners wasn't supposed to be a permanent job, in fact, it wasn't even your original plan, as opposed to the small favors you would complete now and then for the people that were willing to pay a pretty penny for your...services.
But you figured having a stable job was smarter and safer than the alternative. And the help wanted sign was very persuasive, due to the pretty colors and splashes of glitter. It looked like it was made by a child, which you later found out, was decorated by Mrs. Turner's seven-year-old. "Always." You accede, tapping the doorframe as your goodbye before parading into the breakroom to gather your things from the lockers.
You take your backpack off the hook and swing the strap over your shoulder before time punching your card and going straight through the back door. The sounds of the city hit your ears as the heavy door slammed behind you. Traffic honks and tires treading against the grain while you walk further into the busy streets of San Francisco.
As you were about to turn the corner, you were met with the sight of your friend's van, followed by a trumpet rendition of La Cucaracha. You grinned widely, gripping your strap tighter as you jog up the 1972 Ford Ecoline, aka Big Bertha. At least that's what you called it. "Luis!" You rejoice, resting your palms on the ledge. "What are you doing here?"
"Scotty sent me out for a few things," Luis answers, his hands gripping the steering wheel, his head turned to you. "I was just about to go when I saw you. Thought you might need a ride." He shrugs, a cute smile playing on his lips.
You nod, reciprocating the smile at his answer. "Yeah, if it's not too much trouble..." You drag, your voice hesitant, as if he didn't offer at all.
"Nah, get in." He gestures, beckoning you with a wave of his hand. "Your place is on the way," Luis loosens his seatbelt, reaching over to the passenger side to pull up the lock, opening the door for you.
You climb in, plopping down on the tufted leather seats as you pulled the door towards you, closing it shut. "Thanks, Lu," You breathe, dropping your backpack below your feet, then you fasten your seatbelt. "How is Scott, anyway?" You ask as Luis changes gears and presses the gas, the van rolls onto the street.
"Ehh...he's...he's alright, know what I'm sayin'?" He answers, glancing at you before focusing back on the road. "I mean, he missed like five years of his daughter's life. He's just trying to spend as much time with her to make up for years they both lost."
You nibble at the inside of your cheek, nodding softly in agreement as the city lights passed you by. There wasn't much you could say to that, having lost so many people yourself. People you considered family just...gone.
"Yo!" Luis pipes up, snapping you out of your train of thought. "Didja see the news today?!" He shakes his head, whistling at the thought. "I can't believe they would just give some random dude the shield like that, ya know?"
You drew in your bottom lip in contempt, nodding once again at Luis. You had seen the news, and they couldn't have picked a better time to broadcast. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Turner asking you in, you would've hunted Sam Wilson down and kicked his ass yourself.
The van rolled to a stop, brakes squealing as Luis pulled up beside your apartment. You sighed heavily, glancing at the small apartment you shared with your Ex-boyfriend. By the looks of the living room light illuminating behind the curtains, he was home, and you absolutely dreaded when he was. It wasn't as if you wanted to live with him, but you had no other alternative. Ever since dropping your side job, money was tighter, and he was kind enough to let you stay, just until you found a place. "Thanks again for the ride, Lu." You mumble, unclicking your seatbelt as you took hold of your backpack. "You didn't have to."
"Don't even mention it, Y/N," Luis reassures, watching you as you pull at the door handle, opening it to get out. "I know how hard it is to get back into the norm."
You shut the passenger door, shooting him a sympathetic smile. "I'll see you around?"
With a smile, Luis waves goodbye and drives off into the night, the exhaust pipe blowing smoke as he rode off. You shook your head, cracking a smile at the honk of his horn. You turned towards the front entrance of the apartment, your stomach twisting as your smile dropped completely. You swallowed thickly, rolling the tension from your shoulders to prepare yourself before jogging up the small flight of stairs.
You fished your keys from the front pocket of your backpack, taking a breath before shoving the key into the lock, twisting as you pushed the door open with your shoulder. "Joshua?!" You voiced, calling out your ex's name to make sure it was him. You dropped your belongings beside the door, pushing your sneakers off before kicking the door shut with your foot.
"Yeah, in here!" He responds quickly, a slight tremor to his tone.
You frown softly, tossing your keys into the bowl on the console table before sauntering to where his voice was emanating from. "Josh, are you...?" Your voice came to a halt, your footsteps stopping altogether as you walked into the living room.
"Hey!" Joshua exclaims once your figure comes into view. "You wanna explain who they are?" He presses, his face crossed with fear as he gestures to the two men sitting calmly on your living room couch.
You remained quiet, your body tense, eyes wide as your focus shifted between the men on the couch and your ex.
"Well...?" Joshua demands, crossing his arms over his chest, shifting in his stance at the unsettling glare one of the men was sending his way. "I was in the middle of hosting game night-as you can see, when they showed up," Josh drops his arms, hands splaying out to gesture to the coffee table consisting of five different dips, two bulk-sized bags of tortilla chips, and a twenty-four pack of Blue Moon beer. "The guys were just about to come over."
You take a deep breath, closing your eyes to refrain from any and all insults towards your ex. That explained why he was home. "Um..." You utter, pinching the bridge of your nose, "Fucking hell," You curse under your breath, eyes fluttering open to look at Joshua. "Josh," You begin, clearing your throat as you start with the man on the left. "They are Sam Wilson and..." You hesitate, eyes settling on the man to the right, his sight alone bringing back the memories that you swore you didn't want to remember. "James Barnes," You finish, ripping your eyes away from his baby blues to look at your ex. "Aka-"
"The Falcon and The Winter Soldier..." Joshua finishes for you, his eyes flashing with amazement, head whipping towards the guys. "Shit!" He curses, smiling widely like a kid in a candy store. "Can I get you guys anything? A plate? Beer?"
"Actually," You grunt, interrupting before Sam or Bucky could answer. "Can you give us a minute, Joshua?" Insisting while your foot tapped impatiently against the hardwood floor.
"Should I be worried?" He inquires, eyes filled with confusion as he looked between the three of you, trying to piece together the situation at hand. The main reason you and Joshua couldn't work it out was that you kept a lot of secrets, mostly from him. He didn't like the fact that you wouldn't let him in. Sure, you lied to him, the biggest lie being that you were an Avenger, but that was just to keep him safe. There were other reasons why you decided to split up as well. Joshua knew...he knew deep down you were just with him to pass the time. He could see it when he looked into your eyes. There was someone else in the reflection and it wasn't him. If he was honest with himself, he could admit that it did hurt him. That he wanted a chance to make it work with you, but with the way you were staring at James, he finally recognized that reflection.
He should've noticed it early on-like that day he had somehow convinced you to take a trip to D.C for a tour of the Captain America museum. You were hell-bent on not going, trying to make up some elaborate excuse or an alibi of sorts, but alas, you still went. And for some odd reason, you couldn't stop coming back to the Bucky Barnes portion.
"No," You reply, keeping it short to dismiss him.
Joshua's mouth set in a hard line, a foreign feeling forming in the pit of his stomach-jealousy. He never had to worry about it before, especially when his friends used to come over, back when you were still together. Except for that one time, but how could he blame them? You were the kind of person that listened, laughed at the jokes being made, could lend a hand when needed, and your looks were just a bonus in his book. "Uhm, yeah," He coughed, frowning softly while nodding his head at you. "I have to go pick up the pizza, anyway," Josh brushes past you, fetching his keys from the bowl while slipping on his Vans that sat up against the wall ledge that separated the front door from the living room. "Are you going to be okay?" He mumbles, glancing over his shoulder to look at you.
You shoot Josh a smile, nodding reassuringly, his footsteps approaching closer before stopping in front of you, the palm of his hand landing gently on your shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. "Let me know if you need anything, m'kay?" Josh's voice is soft, the concern in his eyes making you feel guilty. You knew he cared about you, and there wasn't a time where you'd catch him staring at you for far too long, but you were well past that. "I'm just a text away," He notes, waving his cell in his hand.
"Josh, I'll be fine," You sigh, stepping away from his touch, the sound of his hand hitting his jeans as it dropped from your shoulder. "I always am."
"Right," Josh nods, looking over at the men on the couch before gazing back at you. "I'll see you in a bit, bug." And with that, he turns, opens the front door, and steps out, shutting the wooden door behind him.
You close your eyes, the pet name Josh had coined for you making you sigh. He agreed to stop calling you that all together and it only made you feel that more guilty for ending things. "So..." You pipe up, opening your eyes as you turned to look at the guys. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Bug?"
Bucky is the first to speak, his jaw clenched at the mere sound of the word. Indignant at the way Josh had touched you, even if it was just your shoulder. "I didn't know he knew you like that," Bucky flashes you a taut smile, nodding softly as he shared a look with Sam, but the falcon only shook his head. "How long have you been..." Bucky couldn't even finish the question, his glove-clad hands tightening at the thought of you being with somebody else...someone that wasn't him. Though, it was his own fault. If he hadn't done what he'd done-you'd have never found another.
"Wow," You scoff, padding closer to where they sat. "You don't miss a beat, do you? Just..." You sink into the sofa adjacent to the one they occupied. "-Right into the big stuff."
"I didn't bring you here to question her about her love life," Sam voices, his scolding eyes on the man beside him. "And she sure as hell isn't obligated to answer you, Bucky."
You smile gratefully at Sam before glancing down at your leg that had begun to bounce in anticipation. "What are you guys doing here? And how'd you find me?" You ask, tilting your head in curiosity as you look up at the guys. "When I resigned from the Avengers initiative, they ensured me that I wasn't able to be traced, not by your or any other remaining member. I was supposed to be scot-free," You declare, hitting your thigh with your fist.
"Oh, come on, Y/N," Sam chuckles, shaking his head at the naivety. "We both know that's a bunch of bullshit. The government is always going to have its eyes on us. Especially free agents like you and us."
You draw in your bottom lip, biting down, eyes flickering between Sam and Bucky. You knew it was too good to be true, and part of you sensed the bullshit when the government explained it to you. You just didn't want to believe it.
"You were an ex-assassin. How could they not keep tabs on your whereabouts?" Sam recounts, emphasizing that it was in the past. At least, that's what they thought. "And I had some help from Redwing as well." He shrugs nonchalantly.
You choke out a laugh, shaking your head at the smug demeanor emitting from Sam. "Redwing," You whisper, smiling thinly. "Of course, nothing could ever be hidden from your personal P.I, huh?"
"I hate that thing," Bucky grumbles, folding his arms across his chest. in annoyance. "Invasion of privacy, I'm telling you."
"You love redwing," Sam jokes, playfully jabbing Bucky's arm with his elbow, "It's okay Bucky, you can admit it."
"Can we get back to the issue here?" You interject, "Not one of you has explained the reason you're here. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great to see you...one more than the other," You whisper that last part but, completely aware that Bucky could hear it. "But, you both showing up out of the blue...? That's almost a bad omen."
"I didn't ask him here, by the way," Sam acknowledges, raising his hands in defense, "I just want to get that out of the way. Bucky came because he wanted to. I'm here," Sam gestures to himself, "-For one reason and one reason only..."
"And what's that?" You ask, leaning forward in your seated position.
"I need your help, Y/N."

Afterglow (A Bucky Barnes AU fan fiction) - Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Afterglow chapters
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader
A/N: Thank you all so much for the support you've been giving to this fanfic!
CHAPTER THREE
It was a day of sunlight and cold smoke in New York. The clouds split above towering buildings, the sun shining in its full glory. You left the apartment earlier, scared to wake Bucky up, only for him to wake up to his stepbrother's roommate creeping up on him in the morning. You pushed Bucky's face at the back of your mind. Perhaps he just looked like someone you've seen before or you've bumped into. Who knows? New York is a pretty big city.
With your airpods plugged in, and your phone in your hand, you started running on the streets, greeting some people with a smile on the way, ignoring the pain on your head. There was Millie from the flower shop, Bob from the woodshop, Rex from the coffee shop, and Colin the friendly street beggar. After five blocks, you didn't know anyone anymore. Just some strangers on the street you see from time to time but never interact with.
Already nearing highway streets, you slowed down your pace, careful not to crash into some bikers or worse, these honking cars rushing to get to their 8-5 jobs. There was a pang of relief that rushed over me as you stood on the other end of the street, waiting for the walk sign to turn green. It was one of the things you loved working in a bar and handling your own photography gig. You weren't answering to no one and rushing to work like these angry hooligans. You both worked in the evening and on your own time. Steve wasn't a bossy boss who yells at his staff. He was just like one of you guys, but unlike you, he had a sense of leadership.
And you get to run every morning -- even though there was still a throbbing pain on your forehead. Peter will never be able to persuade you to go work in their company or in any company for that matter. But you must commend him for his unwavering determination.
You stopped at a convenience store after rounding a few more blocks and bought a bottle of water which you've finished right in front of the cashier who found her phone more interesting -- or perhaps she was just used to some girl finishing a bottle of water in mere seconds.
"Hey, where's the trash?" You asked. The trash can beside the counter wasn't there. She just shrugged and popped her bubblegum.
You walked away from the store, knowing all too well that she wouldn't say or do anything past chewing and popping her gum.
Right across from where you were standing was a tall, elegant white hotel adorned with golden flecks of some kind of shiny paint, which you remembered was Bucky's. It stood twenty something stories tall and wedged between a coffee shop and a pizzeria. On Sundays, whenever you and Peter would walk past it, he'd never forget to remind you that it was Bucky's "empire." It was no Chuck Bass empire but you must admit, that was one fine hotel.
You crossed the street and stood in front of it, a way of slowing down your heart rate just a few beats low. You were just about to cool down, anyway.
You admired the engrossed name of the hotel on the archway that led to the lobby: WHITE WOLF with a wolf headstone right between it, like the one in The Arcadian. A memory of Peter telling you how Bucky renamed it came across your mind. Before it was White Wolf, it was the Golden something. Apparently, Bucky was in a safari somewhere north or south? Maybe west. You honestly can't keep up with some of the stories. Somewhere in the face of the earth -- he was on a safari and came across a gorgeous white wolf with fur as white as snow, eyes as blue as the seas and skies. Bucky swore the wolf looked right into his soul. That was implausible but it did give him a good name for his hotel. He repainted the whole beige building white, standing out from the other buildings around.
A woman with no shoes made you tear your eyes away from the beautiful wolf headstone, screaming Bucky's name. You stepped aside and leaned in on one of the archway posts. There was a muffled noise coming from her. You removed your airpods to listen.
"...the hell is Bucky? You! Have you seen that son of a bitch?" She approached the valet boy. He shook his head no. Then she went to the uniformed man on his post or was it a podium?
"I haven't seen Mr. Barnes, madam."
You could tell by the sly look on the man's face that he saw his boss probably running down the street and taking a cab, but before even stepping foot on the streets, Bucky probably told not to tell.
The woman's lips were smeared with red lipstick, hair disheveled and was wearing a man's clothing, probably Bucky's.
Was this the thing that happened at his penthouse?
"Okay, I'm just gonna wait for him in his penthouse. If you ever see your boss, tell him I'm not going anywhere."
"Yes, madam."
She went back in, hips swaying along with her blonde hair, not giving a damn at the strangers staring at her as she walked towards the elevators.
The uniformed man caught your eye and you gave him a small wave and a smile. "Crazy morning, huh? Okay, bye."
You chuckled nervously and walked away as fast as you could back to the apartment.
When you got back, Bucky was already up, eating something out of a bowl while watching something on the television. You ignored the memory of you staring at him as he slept safe and sound earlier.
Without looking up, he spoke: "Weren't you supposed to rest?"
You grinned as you walked towards the kitchen, and prepared a protein shake. Suddenly forgetting the wound on your forehead. It didn't hurt as much now.
"I don't listen to Parker." You answered. "I never do."
You set your airpods on the kitchen island then grabbed a shaker, poured in some water and dunked a scoop of protein powder inside. You shook the whole damn thing while approaching Bucky.
You stood beside the couch and faced television. It turned out he was watching some old cartoon.
The image of his hotel flashed before your eyes. "I ran past your hotel today. There was a woman looking for you."
He almost choked on his cereal. You could feel his head look towards in your direction but you ignored him, enjoying the chase between Tom and Jerry on the tv screen. "Can't believe this is still on tv." You commented.
"D-did she say something?"
"Kept shouting your name and stuff. Called you son of a bitch and all that." You stopped shaking the shaker then took a big gulp. "I hear she's planning to burn down the White Wolf into the ground." You stifled a smile, letting the liquid stay in your mouth for a little while. "Then find you and take all your money away."
He groaned, picking up on your tone. "Not funny."
"All of that was true except the last part, though." You finally let out a laugh then looked at him who now had his eyes back on the screen. "So, you leave your girlfriend alone up there? Then come here?" You would've said it was pretty low of him but this was Bucky. You knew he'd done worse.
"She's not my girlfriend."
"She's a girlfriend?"
"She's nothing but a one night stand. Don't have a girlfriend." He sighed, putting down the bowl. It turned out it was cereal he was eating. Cartoons and cereal. Wow. He really did act like an eight-year old. "Then after we... well, you know, she suddenly told me she loved me. I was drunk! Then I felt this rush, like a panic, then when she was fast asleep, I didn't know what else to do so I came here."
You knitted your brows and kept your gaze on him. Last night, he told you guys it was a long story. A thing came up. "That wasn't a long story."
"I was hammered and real sleepy. For me it was a long story." He replied.
You just laughed in response, then walked towards your bedroom. Before you could even finish your drink, Bucky shouted for your name. You yelled for him back.
"Will you come with me to the hotel?" Bucky's voice was loud but small. Like a child asking to go to the playground. It felt more like it with the muffled cartoon noises in the background.
You stepped out of your room, finishing the rest of your drink. A big gulp. Then you pouted at him. "Want me to drive away the scary woman?"
Instead of responding with a simple yes or a slight nod, Bucky shot you a wide smile with his shoulders up, making an accidental flex with his lean tricep muscles on both of his arms, and squeezing his chest muscles while he was at it. He held it for too long that veins were starting to show.
You diverted your attention from his muscles to his face. He tried to look cute as a button but in your view, he looked strained. Yet his smile never wavered. You finally agreed to go with him as long as he took a shower first, telling him he reeked of alcohol.
"Are you always this mean?" Bucky said, but his voice was light and not at all heavy or dark.
"Pretty much." You snickered before going back inside your room.
You were sitting on your yoga mat -- just finished some few stretches -- and watching some tv show on the HBO channel when Bucky came out of the bathroom. A towel hung low on his waist -- you didn't even bother to look at his toned details so as to not freak him out with all the staring since you've been doing that a lot since he'd arrived. You focused your attention back on the screen.
"Were you just working out?" He asked, ruffling his hair.
"Just some yoga." You shrugged.
You let him borrow an oversized shirt of yours. The entire time, he was behind your in your room. Bucky attempted to make some small conversation while you were rummaging through your stuff. "Cool space you got here. You photograph?"
"Yeah." You replied. "It's probably not convenient having a studio space inside my room but Parker and I couldn't afford a three-space bedroom, so yeah."
"It's still pretty cool." His response remained.
Your room was bigger than Peter's since you had to have your studio corner. He wasn't a space hogger or anything so he let you get the bigger room. You had little decorations in your room except for a few photos of college friends, old roommates, and you and Peter, a clock on the wall, some band posters from the 70's like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, and the lights you needed for your studio corner. On that side, on the other hand, had more things to offer. Products from previous projects and all the stuff you needed for taking photos like lights, backdrops, tables, a bunch of chairs, and whatnots. Then the walls were just plain white. Yet Bucky still managed to explore around until you found him an oversized shirt.
You threw the shirt towards him. He managed to catch it on the air without looking at it. A quick reflex.
"Do you have some of your photos here?"
"They're in the bar downstairs." You replied. He looked at me with both eyebrows raised, asking a question with his face. "I work there as a bartender and my boss lets me put up my photos on the wall."
"Well, I'd love to see them."
"Actually, there's a shipment coming this afternoon. There will be no people. You can come with me then." You paused. "Unless you have other plans?" There was a part of you that wanted Bucky to have no plans this afternoon. You had a feeling he didn't. You wanted to trust your instincts.
"I have nothing going on." Oh good. "I can show you how I make a mean drink while we're there." Bucky smirked then put on the shirt which had a Rolling Stones logo on the front. He looked down on it and shot me a smile. The shirt still fit him, hugging all his muscles but it was better than Peter's clothes who wear the tightest fits on earth.
"What do you think?" He asked, showing you his fit while still having the towel draped around his waist.
"You look like a rockstar." You blatantly replied. "And hey, I can also make a mean drink. Really mean."
"Please I make the best ones, doll."
"I'll be the judge of that."

Ring of Fire - Alex Mason X Reader
Mason saves you from an apartment fire. Are you happy? No. But, did you just meet a very attractive man? Yes.
TW: Strong language, fire, eventual fluff!
Tumblr media
"Alex Mason! Meet me in my office please!' Is what Mason heard after a long, hard, and hot training.
Mason felt anxiety by the way his drill sergeant spoke to him like that. So, Mason hauled ass to the office, and stood professionally until the drill sergeant finally came in.
"Ma'am" Mason said with confidence, in attention.
"At ease Lieutenant. Now, take a seat. I have something to discuss with you." She said, sitting down and pulling a file out.
Mason took a seat, and watched her pull a thick, yellowish file from her desk. She opened it and layed out several pieces of paper in front of Mason so he could see everything. He took a closer look and saw something for the local fire department, a look of confusion clouded his face.
"Lieutenant Mason, you are being asked to take part in giving a hand to the Fair Banks Fire Department. Their chief has been layed off for a while due to a recent building fire, and they need men. And you just so happen to be the perfect candidate for helping out!" The drill sergeant said, pulling out a cigarette.
Mason was hesitant, he didn't know how to feel. He was afraid that he might fuck up and get someone hurt. Or worse, killed. But, he already worked in that part of the field. One mistake and it means death.
"Drill Sergeant Rivers, I don't have the proper training for this kind of thing. So why am I being picked?" He questioned.
She hit her cigarette and exhaled. She shot a glaring look back at him, while reaching for a pen nearby.
"Mason, they wouldn't just send you in with no training. They are offering on the job skills training and certification. You provide won't even be working there for very long anyways, they just need help until the Chief comes back. So that means, you'll be chief Alex Mason for a whole three months!" Rivers spoke, ashing her cigarette.
Rivers slid him a pen, and gave a devious smile. She pointed to the words on the contract as she spoke.
"We'll still be paying what you make here hourly, and they will also pay you for the position. You'll receive a work vehicle, and housing options if you are interested. But, if you will, please sign here, and here. And then finally, date this at the bottom."
Mason sighed, and grabbed the pen.
"I really hope this isn't a stupid idea, Drill Sergeant Rivers. I'll still have my position here in the Marines, right?" Mason asked.
"Of course, Lieutenant. You are the best of the best. Besides, I don't think Frank would last very long without you." She said with a chuckle.
Mason signed the papers, and slid them back over to Rivers. She quickly and carefully tucked them away safely into the left pocket of the folder, and set it off to the side.
"Thank you, Mason. The Fire Department is going to welcome you with open arms, and everyone is going to greatly appreciate what you are doing. Now, why don't you get on out of here and head over to the Fire Department. The director is anticipating your arrival at 0700 hours. You are dismissed."
Mason stood up, and quickly saluted Rivers. He turned on his heel, and gathered his things. Woods come up to him and patted his back. Mason looked back at Frank.
"Man, what was that about? Sounded like you were in some hot ass water. Did she find out about last weeks breakout?" Woods asked with a smirk.
Mason slapped him, and told him to stay quiet. Mason rolled his eyes, and started walking. Woods followed close.
"No, she didn't. I actually have gotten assigned to something new all together, but just for 6 months. So it looks like you'll be a lone wolf until I get back." Mason said.
"Wait, where in the fuck are you going? And when the hell are you comin' back??" Frank asked as they stepped into the elevator.
Mason clicked up, and the doors shut. It took them up to ground parking.
"I'm filling in for a Fire Chief for a while, I got personally hand picked for the job is what I got told."
"Well brother, you can't argue with that. We are still gonna have boys night on Friday's, right?" Frank asked, before getting out at where the elevator stopped.
Mason laughed, and nodded.
"Of course man, as always. Bring a 30 pack this time!" He shouted to Frank as the door closed.
"My ass!" Frank called out.
Mason patiently waited as it took him up. The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. He walked to his pickup truck and got in. He slammed his door shut and laid his head back onto his seat.
'I hope I don't fuck up.' Was all he repeated to himself.
Months later......
Mason was heading to his office with a newly made friend, Dixon. Dixon was a higher up who worked with everyone, so he frequented Mason. They had coffee in hand, and were ready for safety reports.
"Oh shit, Dix. Do you remember any information on the structure at the controlled burn on the corner of Euclid and Odin we did? I need details for my JHA but I can't recall shit for some fucked reason." Mason asked as they both sat down.
"I can tell you that it had 5 stories, and over 50 apartments in it. Oh, it stood next to Crane Run Bakery. The ignition was faulty wiring, right?" Dixon responded.
"No, it was a gas line pipe. The faulty wiring happened at that bowling alley on Curtis Avenue. But thank you, hopefully I can get this JHA filled out how I should!" Mason said.
Dixon went on with Mason for about 30 minutes about baseball and football. Mason filled out his paperwork, ordered new parts for gear and trucks, and inspected everything with a fine tooth comb. It was a normal night shift for the fire crew, until the alarm system began to wail.
"We have a structure fire on Linden Ave, at 26435 Linden. Possible civilians trapped." Dispatch called through the speakers.
Within minutes, the whole shift was suited up and already in the truck and headed Northbound. Mason was behind the wheel, lights and sirens at full blast. The roads were dead at this time, minus the few cars that happened to be out at 2 AM.
"Dispatch, tell me what we're looking at. I have another truck enroute to said location, and about three ambulances. How high are flames?" Mason asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
"Dispatch here, we have flames about 20 feet up and rising. Recommend you get here quick."
"10-4." Mason responded.
They reached the fire within minutes. When they pulled up the fire was quickly engulfing anything in it's way. Mason knew what needed to be done. But right now, they needed a buidling sweep for any possible trapped people.
"Dixon, set up a crew to stay on hoses, bring about four out and hookup. My team, your with me! We are going in!" Mason said.
Mason put on his face gear, and quickly looked around for a way in. He spotted a perfect way in through a safe looking way. He quickly pointed his team that direction, and headed in. He always made sure to go ahead of his crew so he could determine what was happening.
He got in, midst the hot heat, heavy flames, and the small mist screen of water he'd feel periodically. He lead the way, and began to check every corner and possible place to hide he could. They swept the buidling for a grand total of 30 minutes before Mason determined it was clear.
"Head back everyone. Everything is clear, no indication of anyone." Mason said through the radio.
Everyone headed outside, Mason being left so he could check more. By now, the flames were out. The only thing left was smoking ruble and hot ashes. Mason carefully looked around, and looked even closer at a piece of burnt wood that was beginning to move.
Without thinking, he pulled it back, and revealed a small door that had shut, but by either luck or circumstance, hadn't been burned. Mason soon heard pounding on the metal door, and he went to open it. But it was behind blocked by something.
He struggled to open it completely, the pounding was now more frequent. He pulled with all his might, but it wouldn't budge. He could hear the sounds of a female crying, and begging for the door to be opened. Mason's adrenaline kicked in at this moment.
"I found a live one! Bring in a large ax for me, this damn for isn't opening!" Mason shouted into the radio.
"Miss, I'm going to need you to step away as far as you can from the door! We are going to cut it open! Shield your face until I get you!" Mason yelled.
He took out his small ax, and began to chop away at the hinges. But, the small ax could stand no chance against the hard metal. Instead, he quickly turned and saw Dixon with the industrial ax. He took it, and with brute strength, he swung done with control and accuracy.
The hinges slowly began to break away, until finally the door popped right off. Mason gave the ax back, and quickly threw the door off. He looked back down inside, and saw a girl about his age, coughing her lungs out. He wasted no time, and held his hand out.
She took it, and Mason lifted her out. He quickly adjusted her so she'd be against his back, to where he kept a good grip on her and carried her out. She was covered in black ash and soot, and was damp with water and sweat from the heat.
Once they were out, Mason quickly sat the girl on the gurney and took his respirator off. He secured it around her face, and up to her mouth and nose. The fresh oxygen would help her with breathing, seeing as if her lungs just went through extreme stress.
"Are you alright? Is there anybody else down in that basement?" Mason asked once her breathing returned to normal.
She looked at him, and slipped the mask off.
"No, it was just me. I was just trying to do my laundry for work, and that's when the door slammed shut and I couldn't get out....."
Mason felt a pang in his heart for this beautiful lady.
"Well, you are alright now. We are going to have EMS check you out, and ride you to the hospital to run standard tests." Mason said, giving a smile.
He took his respirator back and turned on his heels. He walked away to regroup with his crew, and Dixon. They cleaned up best they could, and headed back to the station for a shower and change of clothes.
Months After....
Mason sat in the town sqaure, drinking a coffee in his uniform. He was sat on one of the square benches, reading the paper as he waited on Woods. It was Friday, they were going to play poker after a long, exhausting week.
"Excuse me, sir? May I sit with you?" A voice said.
Mason looked up from his paper, and confusion hit him. A familiar looking face flooded his view, but he just couldn't place it. Her face had small bandaids, and a few purple bruises.
"Well, of course. Do I know you?" He questioned.
She sat down, only then did Mason notice the green box in her beat up hands.
"My name is Y/N Y/L/N, you actually saved my life in a fire on Linden street, I talked to a man named Dixon at the fire house to where I could find you.....I have something for you here." She said, handing it to him.
"No Miss, I can't take that. I was just doing my job, I don't need a reward. Seeing you alive and breathing is reward enough." Mason said.
She pushed the small box towards him. The smile on her face was warm, and made Mason feel butterflies.
"Please, I insist." Was all she said.
Mason took the box and opened the lid. Inside was a beautifully made chocolate cake, all kinds of different snacks, and a check of $15,000 dollars.
"Miss, no, I can't. This is way too much money, I will not take it." Mason said, putting it back.
"Please sir, I don't mind. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. It would mean so much to me. If anything, please donate it to your firehouse." Y/N said.
"I will do just that then. We've been needing new parts for months...."
Mason looked back up at Y/N, and smiled.
"I'm Alex Mason by the way, I'm glad to see you are recovering well. Maybe I could take you to dinner sometimes?" He asked slyly.
You chuckled, and nodded.
"Of course, I'd love that.

______________________________________________________________
It's almost 5pm. You get to your friend Brian's house and park your car in the driveway, you can see his mother, Barbara, hanging out the washing. You get down of your car and walk towards her.
-Hi, Mrs. Warner
-Oh, hello (y / n). How are you, darling?- She says with a tender voice
-I'm fine thanks. Is Brian home?
-Oh yes. He is in his room with Scott, you can go in
-Thanks- you answer with a smile and head inside.
As you were passing the living room you could see Mr. Warner sitting on his couch, watching TV. You try to sneak to the stairs and run up to Brian's room, you know Mr. Warner's dirty jokes very well and you don't want to give him a chance to start one. So you walk really slowly, passing behind his old couch
-(y/n)!- He screams with a joyful voice (but almost fake, for some reason). 
-Fuck, how does he do that?- you say under your breath -Um, Hi, Mr. Warner. I came to see Brian
-Why don't you come and sit here with me? Those boys surely are just fooling around up there
-Well I better go stop them- You say with a nervous tone and rush up the stairs
You walk towards Brian's room, and since you know Scott is also there, you fix your hair on one of the mirrors hanging on the wall.
You stand at the door of the room, Scott is sitting on a chair and in front of him he has his 4-track recorder that his parents gave him on his birthday, Brian is sitting on his bed and holds a small microphone between his hands; they are both laughing as Brian sings a kind of rap that talks about tuna sandwiches and a girl with hairy legs.
-What the fuck are you guys doing? - You say with a laugh.
Scott looks at you and controlling his laughter he puts his finger across his lips -Shh- Brian continues with the song but he can’t contain himself and bursts out laughing. 
Scott stops recording.
-I’m sorry, man. I couldn’t handle it - Brian says, trying to recover his breath
-Don’t worry, it’s a good start. But we have to record the full version someday
You walk into the room and drop onto the bed, right next to Brian
-Your father was right about you two just fooling around- you say with a sigh
-Fooling around?! We were just recording our first complete song!-  Scott is offended by your words
-No, she’s right.- Brian slides down onto the bed and sighs as he puts his hands over his face -This summer sucks!- he growls
-Sucks more than the weekend at my grandma’s- you giggle
-Oh, don’t remind me about that, a whole weekend looking only at Scott's face. At least when you are here we can pretend we are not looking at your tits
-Well I’m sorry for not having tits to entertain you with- Scott responds
-Yeah, you should be 
-Scott with tits. I would pay to see that- you and Brian snort a laugh and Scott rolls his eyes at you, then he proceeds to unplug his recorder. 
You stare at him as he gets down on one knee and tucks the wires into his bag, admiring his brown hair and round glasses. You've had a crush on him for quite some time now, and it seems to be getting stronger, but for some reason it's very difficult for you to approach him in any way other than joking. Not so with Brian, with whom you have spent some very intimate evenings, you find him attractive and the sex is incredible, but Scott has something different, he is not like the others and you love that.
Suddenly Mrs. Warner steps at the door of the room, holding her purse in her hands.
-Brian, darling, your father and I are going to run some errands. There's cereal in the pantry, be good kids
-Mom, I'm twenty- says Brian with an annoyed face
-Be a good twenty-year-old, then. I'll see y'all later- she kisses her hand waves it.
Brian stands off of the bed quickly.
-Man, I can't believe my parents leave the house more than us, it's fucking summer, we should be doing more than just staring at the wall
-We can watch tv, I think they were going to broadcast "the exorcist"- you propose
- "The exorcist" and a bowl of cereal seem like a good plan- says Scott excitedly
-But we can watch "the exorcist" and eat junk every other day. I want to do something different or I'm going to go crazy- Brian puts his hands to his head
-Then tell us your summer plan, Warner
-And I hope it's better than eating cereal or I'm going to be very pissed- Scott warns
-Ehrm, I don’t know. I can't think when I'm locked up here.
-Let's go outside then, I have the car- you show him your keys
-There we would have started, woman. Were you waiting for me to pull out my hair to tell me you have the car?
-You guys always tell me that my car is trash!
- (y / n), I am so desperate that right now your old car seems to me like the most wonderful vehicle in the world!
-Could it have nothing to do with the fact that you are not allowed to drive because you don't have a license and that my parents no longer lend me the car after I spent the night in jail for drunk driving?
-No, Scott. It has nothing to do with it. Now please shut up.- You and Scott look at eachother and laugh. He has such a beautiful smile and is not afraid to show it, he does not try to act tough like others,
-Okay, let's go then- you say as you get up from the bed
-Yes, finally some fresh air- Brian says raising his arms and going out the door
-Come on, Scott- you invite him with a smile
-I’m after you, sweetheart- you feel his words as heavy as his voice, chills run through your body and you turn your face trying not to blush
-Hurry up!- Brian shouts from outside the house
You three get in the car. Brian takes the whole  back seat for himself as usual, leaving Scott with the only option of going in the passenger seat. You always said you prefer it that way because, unlike Brian, Scott is quiet and doesn't distract you while driving, but the truth is that you like having him a few inches from you in that bench seat.
You  drove around the neighborhood for about half an hour, while Brian looked out the back window like a little boy pointing at things and people, and Scott hummed and tapped on his  thighs to the tune of the songs on the radio like "love me two times" by The doors. 
You try not to be very obvious while you turn to see him and when he realizes he just smiles at you and keeps singing. Hell, that smile could make you crash in a second.
But that's not what makes you slam on the brakes.
-Stop! - Brian shouts from the back seat -I know  what we gonna do- he says with a huge smile on his face as he points to the street name sign.

-”Baked st”? - You say with a confused look. 
The three of you are standing in front of the sign Brian pointed out.
-Yeah! It's amazing, it would look great in my room!- says Brian
-Woah, are you suggesting we steal it? - Scott doesn't seem convinced by the idea.
-Yes! It's exactly what I'm suggesting
-That doesn't sound very legal, man.
-Yeah, Brian, there's still a lot of light, someone could see us- you point out
-Thank you, (y / n) - Scott is relieved that you're on his side
-You'll be the lookout, Scott- you say as you pat him on the shoulder 
-What?!
You and Brian laugh and bump fists.
------
-We're gonna get caught. We're gonna get caught and we will be arrested. I will spend another night in jail. We should have stayed to eat cereal and watch tv- Scott mutters in a nervous voice from inside your car. He is sitting behind the wheel with the engine running, prepared to be the escape driver.
-Do you want to shut up? No one will catch us if you do your job as a lookout
-I always end up in trouble when I'm with you, Warner!
-Calm down, will you? Smoke a cigarette or something
-No! Not smoking in my car - you shout in a demanding voice -Calm down, Scott, nothing will happen
Brian kneels and you climb on his shoulders, so when he stands up you are at the exact height of the sign and you can remove it with the help of a screwdriver that you had in the trunk of your car.
-Brian, stay still, if you drop me I'll kill you
-Sorry, but the last time I carried you on my shoulders was that night when you forgot your keys and ended up with your dog biting my balls
-Haha! That's his way of saying he loves you!
-Whatever it was, since that day I can't stand being near a dog
-Don't be a crybaby ... oh, is that a doberman?
-Oh shit, where?! - Brian staggers with fear
You laugh out loud.
-That´s not funny!
-It was for me!- you're almost tearing with laughter
Scott rolls his eyes and sighs -Can you hurry? If you guys don't get in the car on time I won't mind leaving you behind
-But it's my car!
-Well ... maybe I'll wait for you- he gives you a small smile
- * cough * Get a room
-Shut up, Brian, or I'll drop this on your huge head
-Guys, I think someone’s coming ...- says Scott worried
-Calm down, I'm almost done, there's one last screw left- you say without taking much importance
-Oh oh, cop car. Guys, cop car!- Scott shouts through the window
-What?! - Brian screams
-GET-IN-THE-CAR!
-Done!- You say with a smile of triumph and  almost fall when Brian takes you off of his shoulders. 
You both rush to get into the car and Scott speeds in the opposite direction to the cops
Brian, as always in the back seat, looks through the window to make sure you were not seen and are not being followed, then he collapses into the seat and bursts out laughing.
You and Scott look into each other's eyes and laugh a little, then join Brian in his loud laugh.
-That was incredible, I think I peed in my pants- says Brian trying to catch his breath
-You almost threw me, man! - You shout from the passenger seat
- I'm sorry, I panicked!
-Scott, are you okay? Your hands are shaking- you ask
-I'm fine. I'm fine, don't worry- Scott can't erase from his face the big smile that has appeared as a result of the feeling of being almost caught.
You stare at him and you feel your heart pumping like crazy and you're not quite sure it's still due to the thrill of your successful robbery.

The sun has already set, it is still a warm summer night. You drive through the neighborhood with the windows down letting in the cool wind, and with stupid smiles of satisfaction on your faces, without saying a word.
You go back to Brian's house and see his parents' car at the entrance.
"Shit, they're back," says Brian, rushing to open the car door and close it behind him, he leans against the driver's window to look at you both. 
-Come tomorrow and you will see this beauty hanging on the wall of my room. - He says holding the sign and then he enters his house, leaving you alone in the car with Scott.
There is an awkward silence for a few seconds after Brian is gone.
-Well, I think I should go home now- Scott puts his hand on the door handle, turns to you and looks at you over his glasses -It was a great afternoon, it wouldn't have been if you hadn't appeared- He gives you a last half smile -Well, good night (y/n), hope to see you tomorrow- he opens the door
-No, wait ... let me take you home
-Do you want to take me home?
-Of course, I'll let you drive - you say tapping the steering wheel
-You've convinced me!
------
You really enjoy the drive to Scott's house, he just keeps making you laugh by telling you the story of the night he was arrested, making silly voices as he impersonates the cops who pulled him over.
And he takes advantage of the moment to do some other imitations of people you know, and cartoon characters. You just can't stop laughing.
When you are close to getting to Scott's house, he stops the car near an alley.
-I will stop here so my parents don't see us, if they find out that I've been driving they will kill me
-Oh yeah, no problem. That way you could also stay for a while to chat- you are really enjoying his company and you don't want to stop being by his side
-I guess I can, it's not my bedtime yet- You both laugh
-You're so funny
-"Oh, thank you, I appreciate it" -he says faking his voice like a talk show host, and you laugh again.
-Really, why have we never had these talks?
-What do you mean?
-Yes, you and I, we have never hang out together, why is that?
-Are you serious? I think the reason is pretty obvious
-It’s not so obvious for me. Why don’t you tell me?
-Well, it's because whenever we go out, I'm the first to be back home, whether you drop me or I leave so that you can, I don't know, take care of any "matter" you have
-What? What are you talking about? - You look at Scott with a confused expression
-Come on, you know what I'm talking about ... don't make me say it- he rolls his eyes and you look at him without being completely sure what he means
-You mean...?
-Um, yeah- he says raising his eyebrows. You drop your jaw
-He told you about that?!
-Of course he told me- he sighs with annoyance- you already know him
-When-when did he tell you?
-The weekend you were at your grandma's house ... I would like to say that he brought it up for conversation because he was bored and wanted us to talk about something but I know he likes to brag about those things
-I'm going to kill him- you say clenching your teeth
-No... I mean, you don’t have to, there’s no reason for you two to hide those things from me, if you feel something for each other, I..- 
-What? I don’t feel anything for Brian! It was just sex…
-”Just sex”? what does that even mean?- he chuckles and you cover your face with your hands
-I mean… Well, he’s attractive but he can also be a total asshole. And we had sex a couple of times but it’s not like… I don’t like him and I totally don’t “love” him
-It´s ok, I was just saying that if you were trying to have some kind of relationship… I'm ok with that
-Well you don’t need to ‘cause there’s no “relationship” nor will be. I only had sex with him because, well there aren't many guys available, you know? And apparently I'm too bad at letting the boys that I like know that ... I like them
-Really?- he arches his eyebrows
-Yeah, believe it or not- You say with sarcasm
-Well I think any guy you send a hint that you like him and if he doesn't get it then he's an idiot and you shouldn't be wasting your time with him
You snort a laugh 
-You think that?
-Totally. Of course.
You look at him and laugh
-What? What’s so funny?
-No, nothing- you stop laughing and look down, trying to avoid his gaze
-Really? Come on, we already discussed your stumbling  with Brian, that is surely the most embarrassing thing in your life, and now you are going to hide something from me and tell me that it's "nothing"? Come on, tell Dr. Love here
-Oh my god, don't call yourself Dr. Love! - You burst out laughing as you cover your face with your hands
-Ok, I will not. But come on, you were the one who  wanted us to talk, now talk- he bumps your shoulder
You take a long breath
-Is just that… I really don’t know how to tell you this. I got into this by myself and now I don't know how to get out- you laugh nervously
-You are scaring me. I'm not gonna let you drive me home again…
-It's that, when I was talking about the guys I like, I was ... really ... talking about you ...
Scott stares at you and is silent for a few seconds.
-I’m sorry, what?
You laugh again and avoid his gaze
- (y / n) I need you to repeat that, I think I did not hear you well
You raise your head and look at him with your eyes tearing a little
-I was talking about you, Scott. You are the guy that I like
Scott leans back and readjusts himself on the seat
-Wow, I wasn't expecting that
-Yeah, well …
You both remain silent, trying to assimilate what just happened. After a few seconds Scott takes a long breath, opens his mouth but he has trouble organizing his thoughts
-(y/n)? Can I...Can I ask you something?
-Yeah, of course
-And it’s ok if you don’t want to answer, I understand
-Okay…
-You say you like me ... but if that's the case, why have you been sleeping with Brian?
You sigh heavily
-Well, Scott, it's quite simple really. You see, it's because you are you, and I, well, I am me ...
-I'm not sure I understand that
-You're an amazing boy, Scott. You are kind, you are talented, you are intelligent, you are very funny without having to make fun of others
-And is that a bad thing?
-No! It is not at all!
-So? I don't understand
-It's that you're VERY good, Scott. So good that you deserve someone just as good as you ...
- Seriously?
-Seriously. And I deserve guys like Brian, I don't mean Brian is a bad guy but hey, you said it yourself, "we know how he is"
He throws his head back, looking at the roof of the car
-I guess I'm screwed, then ...
- Why do you say that?
He turns his head towards you, still leaning on the seat
-Because (y / n), during all this time, I have only been attracted to a one-single-girl
You notice his hand moving along the seat, getting closer and closer to yours. You can already feel it with the tips of your fingers, it's like an electric shock that runs through your entire arm. You look up and he's looking you in the eye.
-And that girl is you.
You feel your face turning completely red, your heart is racing, you are short of breath.
Time seems to move so slow.
-I think I'm having a heart attack- you say under your breath
- (y / n) Are you okay? - He gets closer and sits right next to you, his knee touches yours and he puts his hand on your shoulder. You have your eyes on the ground and your hair covers your face -I shouldn't have told you all that, I'm sorry- 
He leans in front of you and brushes your hair from your face with his fingers -It's just that we were being so sincere that I thought ... I don't know what I thought, I let myself go. Please look at me-.
You feel your body vibrating, trembling. The rhythm of your heart has not calmed down. And your mind is spinning.
You can see Scott's face out of the corner of your eye. You have never been so close, and you don’t know if this will be the only time. Your only chance.
- "Fuck it" - you say in your mind and raise your head. You both look into each other's eyes for a few seconds, you lean towards him and slowly seek his lips with yours. He doesn't move or say a word, just closes his eyes and receives the pleasing touch of your mouth.
His lips are so soft and sweet. Almost unreal.
Kissing him feels like an explosion inside your head, you can almost see the flashes. 
You take him by the back of his neck to bring him closer to you, you don't want a single space between your lips. He responds by putting his hand on your thigh, gently grabbing you, like trying to convince himself that you really are there.
The kiss begins to get more intense, you gently suck on his lips a little and you can feel the tip of his tongue touching you, but you know he is too shy to dare to do it. So you go and gently insert your tongue between his lips as you grab him by his shirt. He lets out a slight moan and reaches up to grab you firmly by the hip.
The feel of his hand grasping you feels so good that you tilt your head back and bite your lip. Scott can't take his gaze off of you, his breathing is fast, with his hand still on your hip, he pulls you towards him and makes you end up sitting on his lap.
You look him in the eye, he puts both hands on your hips and you give him a devilish smile to which he responds the same.
You run your hand over his chest. He looks at you with a smile and bites his lip. You lean over him and start kissing his neck, he raises his hands to your waist and his thumbs touch the bottom of your breasts. He moans a little and you pull back. Without taking your eyes off his, you take your hands to the end of your shirt and take it off. He stares, wordlessly, at your body, one of his hands goes up your belly and stops before touching your bra. He sees you again in the eyes and licks his lips, more than a look of desire, you can see tenderness on his face.
You put your arms behind your back and untie the clasp of the bra, gently lower the straps of each of your arms and drop it. He takes a deep breath and you bend down to kiss him again, pressing your lips firmly against his.
He moves his hands forward slowly, his fingertips running up your bare back giving you chills and making you shiver, and that's where he tucks his tongue into your mouth and gently grips your breast with one of his hands.
You moan and you can feel the warmth between his legs, so you bring one of your hands to his waist, raise his shirt with your index finger, and play a little with his belt before you unbuckle it. He rushes in and helps you take his pants down to his knees. You bite your lip and run one hand over his underwear. He is hard. 
You start moving your hand up and down over his clothing. He lets out a groan, closes his eyes, and tilts his head back.You give him a sloppy kiss while still stroking him. Scott puts his hand on your lower back while moaning. You stop kissing him and pull back. 
-You want me to…?- You say as you put your hands over the buttons of your trousers
-Please…- he says under his breath
You start unbuttoning them and he pulls them down, leaving you only in your panties.
He runs the tip of his index through the line of cloth that passes just below your belly, you take his entire hand and lead him inside.
 He gasps, he feels a little scared but much more curious to feel your body, so he works his way down with his fingers and touches you gently. You groan and start to feel more and more wet as his fingers get inside of you, you can't control it. You start pulling down his underwear and he takes his hands off of you. You take his bulge with your hand and stroke it making him close his eyes again. You take off your panties and get closer to him, sitting on his lap. He puts his arms around you, down your lower back, and kisses you.
-I guess today we will only do illegal things
-Does that bothers you?- you answer with a seductive voice
-Not at all- he smirks
You bring one of your hands behind you and between your legs, take hiss length with your fingers, positioning it just below you and slowly insert it into yourself. You push your hips down to get him fully inside.
You both moan loudly with pleasure. Scott has a huge smile drawn on his face. You put your hands on his shoulders and start moving your hips up and down, you can feel how he tightens you with his arms and he starts to thrust himself against you, faster and with more force than you were doing. You squeeze his shoulders and dig your nails into them a little. His body slams against yours, you can feel him getting  out completely and back in with ease. Your legs start shaking, you can feel that you are very close, you don't want this moment to end but you are about to, so you kiss him one last time and feel his deep breathing on your lips. You arch your back and press your lips together tightly to contain your loud moan of exasperation. Scott growls and you feel a wetness running down your thigh. 
You drop your body onto Scott's. Your head rests on his shoulder and he lovingly caresses your back. He looks at you and approaches to give you a tender kiss, at the end of which he smiles.
You remain silent for a while, for the moment you do not have much to say, the contact of your bodies shows your feelings.
Scott puts his hand on your head and brushes your hair from your face.
-You know? I feel very lucky today- he says
-Yes?
-Totally. I did a lot of things today that I never imagined ... like running away from the police
You laugh a little
-No, seriously, I feel very lucky, and I don't want to abuse that fortune, but if I don't do this I think I won't be able to forgive myself
-What happens?
- (y / n) Would you go out with me someday?
You blush and hide your face on his shoulder
-Of course I will go out with you

Chapter 6: Family
The piercing blue eyes search for you in the dim light that came from the sunrise outside the shack, he found you and attempt to stand up getting down immediately from the pain.
"Don't even try" You said to him, sad to look at his face covered in dry blood and a still fresh cut on his cheekbone. Two days after arriving Walker had decided to inspire moral in his troops by beating him and putting you to treat their wounds "I suspect they broke one of your ribs when you call them bastards, also even if you could move there is also this" you pointed to the fetter around his ankle and he looked at yours too, your shorts were stained from the truck and the dirt floor of the shack, and the clear sign of a lash on the naked skin that you cover with a blanket when he looked at it.
"How is your head?" He asked finally trying to sit still "How long have we been here?"
"It has been better, it will take more than that to take me down, don't worry" You said taking a piece of cloth and wetting it on a small bowl "Well after you passed out I kept fixing a couple wounds here an there in the camp, so he won't kill you, that was three days ago, at least they left me this to fix you up, hold still" You approach as much as you could to him and start cleaning up his wounds.
"I have nowhere else to be love... hey!!" He pull apart when the alcohol touch the open skin, and gave you a panicked look when you show him the suture you will use to close the cut
"Oh Captain don't be a baby" You hold his face on your hand while continuing to clean the cut "You must be used to deal with vicious animals like that by now, because that frien of yours can call himself a man"
"You are right, Walker is a poisonous snake who will kill anyone on his way, the only reason we are alive is because he believes he may get something valuable out of you, which reminds me, what did he ment by next time he'll go for the throat?" He had his hand was clenched and his eyes firmly shut down when you passed the needle trough the skin.
"I have met Walker before, Shukri used to help him pass his weapons and stuff through the border so he send me as a symbol of friendship, but the man he wanted me to help die, wich of course he will because he had severe sepsis and many bullet holes, and I'm far from being an actual medical doctor"
"You really have a way to reassure people" He joke and you rolled your eyes at him.
"Anyway he went crazy and kill the men Shukri send to guard me and stab me in the stomach, and leave me for dead in the jungle, thankfully it wasn't a cut deep enough and I managed to walk to the next village". You finish and he looked at you surprised by how casually you talk about those horrible memories. "What does he meant by your taste still being constant?" His face darkened and the guilt and remorse appear again in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't meant..." You tried to stand up but he grab your wrist and you sit next to him.
"As I told you Jenny's mom was the lover of a British ambassador, and we actually met before we were send to find her, one night Sargent Walker was drunk and tried to force himself on her, and I stop her" He said with a sad smile on his face.
"You were together? You and her mother I mean" You tried to hide a hint of jealousy in your voice, it was funny that in this threatening situation you could still be thinking about you two.
"Of course not" He said and a grin of satisfaction show on his face when you sigh in relief "Although I had feelings for her, and maybe she had them too, but I knew I had a mission, then Walker betrayed us and Jenny die... well I guess she blamed me for it" you didn't say anything and just let him lay his head on your lap, the fetter was biting in your skin and your ankle was about to start bleeding but you feel the need of comforting him.
"How could you look this handsome aan peaceful cover in bruises, and cuts?" You ask yourself outloud after a couple minutes once you thought he was asleep.
"I could ask you the same Y/N" He responded opening his blue eyes, and you almost pushed him down but remember his bad shape. "Don't worry, the guys are looking for us, they will get help in Borneo and come back"
"That's what I'm afraid of, I heard them talking about asking for ransom money to the US Embassy in Borneo, what if they get too late, he is gonna kill me when he realizes I lie to him".
"I will like to him try" He said trying to stand hurting himself again.
"Easy there prince charming" You said holding him still and locking your hands together in the process, neither of you trying to pull apart. "I do know what I will do if we actually get out of here".
"And what is that?" Conrad asked trying to ignore how helpless your if was.
"I'm writing a strong worded letter to Houston Brooks about the terrible job of his tracker, since he keeps trying to charm the women he works for" You said and he smiled at you.
"Is it working?" He asked, trying to incorporate.
"Maybe" you said but before you could follow your instinct, some loud steps approach to the shack and you gently put him on the floor to curl in your corner pretending to be asleep.
"Ibu? Cepat! Kita perlu pergi" Mother? Quick! We have to go A young boy enter the shack carrying a big shotgun, and he open the fetter setting you free.
"Dia akan datang bersama kami" He is coming with us You said and he went to set a surprised James free.
"What is going on? Ibu?" He asked once you help him stand up, he was not as hurt as you thought since he could walk without help, but he was definitely not in his prime.
"You have your family Captain, I have mine" And since that explanation was not enough you had to continue "One of the men guarding me years ago was Shukri's nephew, he hates Wlker ever since, and has many of his children inside his little army so he can eventually sell them to the authorities"
"He is a layered man isn't he?" He said while you and the boy help him walk outside the camp, another infiltrator was already waiting next to a truck ready for you to flee, waving in the distance, and then the sound of a thunder brake the morning air, and he made a funny surprise face, and a blood stain start growing in his chest and he just fall on his back, and then all hell broke loose.
Walker men were following you, and since James was hurt it was so little that your young hero could do for you.
You run into the jungle just to be stopped in an open area where a tree had fallen an then four men were surrounding you, ready to kill.
"Drop it big guy!" Reles voice said, making your hear stop and race with happiness. The man in front of you turned around to meet Reels surprised by how calm he was.
"Didn't you listen? Drop it!" Slivko said coming out of the jungle with another six guys that you were sure were part of Shukri's village.
"I got you doc" Glenn said passing between the men who were already unarmed.
"I'm fine, help the Captain" you said and without thinking you took one of the weapons that had been dropped in the ground.
"I thought you didn't like those" Slivko said while Reels help the boy tie Walkers men.
"Desperate times Reg" You said, and hug him. "How did you find us so quickly?"
"Oh wow, sorry Captain" He said looking embarrassed "The guy, the weird guy that says he is your husband he meet us half way when we came after you guys, apparently one of the guys here told him what happened and he came with us and many men along to help"
"I knew it! Wait a minute Shukri is here?" You hold your breath because the feeling that something was wrong was strongly hurting your chest, and Conrad's words about Walker resonated in your ears.
You run back to the campsite, the ambush had worked out, the rest of Walker's men were dead or prisoners and unarmed, only their Sargent was too stubborn to surrender and both him and Shukri were aiming at each other in the middle of the camp. Shukri with a shotgun and Walker with two pistols.
Again without thinking and with the adrenaline running through your veins you pointed your gun at him and order him to drop it. As all response he aimed one of his pistols at you.
"You can't win this" You said to him not backing off and looking James concerned face approaching, but he was not looking at you, all his attention seemed to be focus on Shukri.
"Oh I know that doctor, but I have a question for you, who will be faster? Me or this little idiot here who came to rescue his princess??"
Things happened in the fraction of a second and by the time you understand what have happened both men where in the ground.
In the moment Shukri nod to James and he jump to take you out of the line of fire, Walker shoot his guns missing you, but not Shukri, but he didn't miss either.
"Hey, hey Shukri man, come on" Mills said approaching pressuring the wound, you stood up and walk away from James who was breathing difficulty from the jump, but overall okay.
"Shukri, you win, he is dead, please don't give up now" You said now no longer holding on the tears.
"Tears? Isteri if I had known that this is what I needed to do I would have let someone shoot me long ago." He said holding your hand with almost no strength. "Captain Prince charming?" He called for James and he kneeled by his side respectfully "Anda menjaga isteri saya" You take care of my wife
"I will" James said solemnly, and Shukri nod, then he hold your hand tightly and then after one last breath he and a quiet smile to you he was gone.
After a couple minutes people dispersed and you could hear his men arranging how will they move him, but it was wrong and you couldn't yet set what had happened in your brain, after one hour you felt like if you keep looking long enough he will smile again and wake up to tease you and life will be normal again.
"It's time" James said but he didn't force you to stand, he only gave you his hand, and stood there waiting, after a minute that felt like an eternity you took his hand stand up, and then you let all your unspoken feelings to come out, about Randa, about Shukri, about watching him almost be beaten to death two days ago, you cried and cried and he simply hold you, even when his rib was probably killing him, even when you were nothing to him but a job, he keep holding you.

1.1.8 HALLOWEEN NIGHT 10:46 PM
Haddonfield, Illinois
Lightning blew up the sky over Reincourt Park...or “The Playground” as the local kids called it. Brad Doyle sat on a swing-set and licked the edge of a blunt before he used his thumbs and fore fingers to roll it up tight. He purveyed his handiwork with a smile, and then licked the seam once more for good measure before reaching in his pocket and fishing out his lighter. It was his favorite one, black with green glow-in-the-dark skulls. He flicked the metal wheel with his thumb, producing a tongue of fire, and passed the flickering flame over the seam to seal it off tight. There was no doubt in his mind that Brad was the best blunt roller around, and in his own little world that was really something to be proud of, and he was—he was very proud.
When the lightning flashed and the corresponding clap of thunder echoed through Warren Valley, he flinched a little, squinting up at the sky. To the west (he had no idea what direction he was looking toward, but if were to open the compass app on his phone he would see that it was the west) the stars and the clear pitch black that had dominated the sky all night was giving way to a rolling storm cloud. Light reflected the artificial light of the town below, casting an ominous ashen---almost sickly green---color on the heavens. Brad pulled his cellphone out of his pocket, saw the time, and then pulled up the weather app. The rain was supposed to hold off to between 2 and 4, but looking up at the sky, it didn't seem like that was gonna hold. He switched the home-screen off and replaced the phone in his pocket, and as he looked up, blinking away the blind spot he now had from staring at the bright phone screen in the dark, he saw the two girls emerge from the bushes.
“Whoa!” He said, catching sight of Kyndra and beginning to laugh, “What the fuck happened to you?”
“Shut up Brad” Kyndra replied, she was hugging her bare shoulders with her hands.
“That lightning strike scared the shit out of me,” Zoey said, looking up at the sky.
Brad pointed to his car. Other than his blunt-rolling skills, it was the only other thing he was proud of. An orange 1978 mint condition Ford Mustang, which now sat all by itself in the parking spaces adjacent to the park.
“I have my hoodie in the Mustang if you want it.” He said to Kyndra and then held the blunt up to Zoey, “Check it out,” he said, “maybe my best yet.”
“Thanks,” Kyndra said, and wobbled off toward the truck. She couldn't really walk straight on one stiletto heel.
Brad caught sight of her pants and laughed out loud, “Look...you got like a whole ass cheek hanging out of your pants!”
Kyndra didn't even turn, just held up her right hand with her middle finger standing tall and erect. Zoey leaned forward and inspected the blunt. “Hurry and light it up,” she demanded.
Brad was looking at Kyndra, “Just don't get your lesbo germs on my hoodie!” He called after her. Kyndra held her other hand up...complete with her other middle finger. Zoey punched Brad in the arm.
“Owww..” he giggled, then looked down and brushed the bits of weed, stems, and seeds that hadn't made it into the blunt off the front of his Code Orange shirt. He then put the blunt to his mouth, and his black lighter with the glow-in-the-dark green skulls to the tip. Brad took a long deep draw on it, eyes going wide, and then pulled the blunt away, his cheeks poked out like he was giving his best puffer-fish impersonation. Swallowing, squinting slightly, he passed it to Zoey, exhaling two jets of smoke out of his nostrils like a dragon in a fairytale.
Zoey took a hit off the blunt as Brad applauded. “Hell yeah,” he exclaimed, “that shit is dank! Where did you get that?”
Zoey coughed and held the blunt out away from her. “My friend Pierre is a dishwasher at the new Papagayos Mexican Restaurant.”
Like her high school classmate Leighton Dodge, she didn't pronounce the word right either.
“He gets all this weed from the manager or the owner or something,” she said, “he's in deep with the Mexican drug lords or some shit.”
“No way!” Brad breathed. “You think I could get a job there?”
Zoey shrugged, as Kyndra reappeared, wearing a black Hatebreed hoodie that was way too big for her...but at least it covered her up, even covered most of her butt too. Zoey handed her the blunt.
🎃
About fifteen minutes later, Zoey and Brad lay on their backs on a merry-go-round, looking up at the dark sky which had now gone completely a dark shade of gray-green. The dull flash of heat lightning exploded here and there behind the pulsating clouds, accompanied by soft booms of thunder, countless of hundreds of miles up in the atmosphere.
“They say heat lightning can't hurt you,” Zoey said quietly, breaking the long silence in between them.
“I heard that's bullshit,” Brad said matter-of-factly. “It's the same kind of lightning as regular lightning, it's just point to point between the clouds.”
Zoey giggled, “So we really shouldn't be laying here on this metal merry-go-round?”
Brad smiled, his glazed-over eyes gleaming in the darkness, “Probably not.”
It was at that moment that Zoey realized that her girlfriend was no longer on the merry-go-round with them. It could have been marijuana induced short-term memory loss, but she had absolutely no recognition of when Kyndra had gotten off of the ride.
Zoey sat up, “Kyndra?”
She looked around, seeing no sign of her.
“Kyndra?!” She called a little louder.
“I'm over here,”
The voice came from the opposite side of the playground, behind the swing-sets, in front of the big maple tree that families in the summer months would sit under and have picnics—although the way the weather had been in North-Central Illinois this Autumn, those picnics could have continued on throughout October.
Zoey stood up, dusting off her butt and fixing her clip-on cat tail as she walked over to where her girlfriend was. Brad groaned behind them and stood up as well, his back making a loud cracking sound as he moved, as if he were eighty-something years old.
“What is she doing?” he called after Zoey.
As Zoey got closer, she saw that Kyndra was bent over, looking down at the ground, holding back her hair with one hand and holding the hoodie that was too big to her chest so it wouldn't sag and block her view of the ground. She was pacing backwards, inspecting the ground like some sort of detective..
Frowning, Zoey stopped at the swings and grabbed one of the chains. “What are you doing?” She asked, laughing in spite of herself.
Kyndra looked up at her with her big brown eyes and smiled at the fact that Zoey was laughing at her, knowing how goofy she probably looked-- all bent over in the dark, investigating the ground. “I'm looking for my dog tags,”
Zoey cocked her head to one side and stepped in front of the swing to sit on it.
“The one's your brother gave you?”
“Yeah,” Kyndra replied, turning her attention back to the ground, “I haven't seen them since we were here Wednesday night...and remember we were under this tree for awhile.”
Brad appeared beside Zoey and pulled a cigarette from his pocket. “What were you doing under the tree?” He smirked, lighting his cigarette with his black lighter with the green glow-in-the-dark skulls. He took a drag, and as he exhaled the smoke, he put his two fingers to his mouth and flicked his tongue back and forth in the well known obscene way.
Zoey just looked at him, “You're such a tool Brad.” She replied simply.
Kyndra didn't pay him any attention, seeing something on the ground, kicking it with her toe, and then crouched down to her knees to inspect it closer. It turned out to be a bottle cap.
“We smoked a fat bowl,” she said without looking up.
Brad pretending he had a knife and stabbed himself in the heart, glowing red embers showered down from the cherry of his cigarette, most dying before they hit the ground. “And you didn't invite me?”
“I don't know why we invited you today,” Zoey rolled her eyes.
Brad made a kissing sound at her and smiled. She smiled back in spite of herself.
Kyndra stood up and sighed, “I don't know...I thought maybe they fell off here. I really want to find them.”
“It might be a good idea to come back in the daytime...you know...when you can see,” Brad said sarcastically.
For the third time that night, Kyndra gave him the finger.
“We can come back tomorrow after we wake up, but we need to get here early before all the kids show up,” Zoey said.
Kyndra pointed over toward the tree, where a pitch black shadow next to a pile of dirt indicated someone had done some serious digging over in that direction. “Did you guys get a load of that big ass hole over there?”
“Hmm,” Zoey said, looking at Brad, “I see a big ass-hole over here.”
Brad kissed at her again and smiled.
Kyndra smiled and pulled her cellphone out of the front pocket of her friend's hoodie and looked at the screen, “Let's get the hell out of here...I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to party.”
Just then, a large bolt of lightning split the clouds and landed somewhere right over the horizon. The corrosponding thunderclap indicated that the strike was uncomfortably close.
“Yeah,” Brad said, looking at the sky, “Let's go.”

Monster and Casino. Here's what I got. Since cutting my hair I have needed to work on my appearance. I looked like the way I do in Cara. Ha. With long hair and such. I miss my wrist canes. I don't like my check. It doesn't make sense because I can't tell if it's cancer. Is that like real and shit? I finals have a monster. I don't like you, Julian. I don't want at your ass in the year 3000. I swear Julian. Your shorty motif. Can't handle it boss. You're also a bit sinical. With what isn't leafliture. I guess. Not really the way that works. I like love that I have a leaf. 'But', I can't really dig what I did with it to an extent. Can't. Just, don't. I've never thought about leafing the girl from folds, but it just came to mind. Too bad that I can't and I would get at Taylor or something. I should have waited for your friend. That's partly why Taylor is Jenny. I guess.
So now i'm on Jamie. Geez. Like, twice. So I already lost my server job. I was about to start my first shift as a host with the most. That would be Hallie. Or something. I wish I had found my sun on dragonfly. That would have been trill and shit. Haha. That made me lol. Neat.
So. These are text posts and I swore. Again. I mean, what? I swear JC. Has stuff. Where are my wheel girls if it's generalized. How am I not your boy if the kids showed up. Like. C'mon darlings. Sydney's boy was there as Cara. Oh well. Alls well that ends well. Dunno if that's something to say. I kind of think i'm turning my Tumblr is a Xanga. Oh well. Why not Nik. Again. Maybe not Taylor. Maybe Alice. And I could tell you about how much I loved you. And we could hold hands. Plus, there's coffee and the fact that generalized you're another person as Alice. What if you ever read this? Do you realize how that would make me feel? I don't really get how this isn't just a shot and a red sun? Like, Virgo. Not anything but that. Thanks for the obvious generalization. Sun, huh? How is it that I need a sun? I dunno. Maybe because it's harping sign. That's just a hunt to the second power. Don't really care. It's like, translucent. My everlasting gobbstopper is gone. Squirtle Squad. Penny. I was oh so in love with you. I miss you. This isn't really anything that i'm okay with. I never imagined leaving my activate for something to take me to a backup plan. Someone just said to write about my car. It's just like little and something to fix. Faggetry. I'm about to smoke a bowl of reggie. I want more acid and all I could say was Room On Fire. I don't really understand how i've been arrested 3 times for stealing cars. Someone just told me a tale of a Nightmare Before Christmas tray, pipe, and grinder. Fuck being homeless, I need a set of wheels. Loses on purple. Lol again. Cara wanted space. And Ezra wants diamonds. Can't say Cheddars. I don't want a minimum wage job. Not being a server is bullshit. I wish someone would have put a sun in my skull. I asked about it and stuff. Thanks for putting me out. Bullet proof glass. Violence. Like, Violence. Not into it. Bye.
Back.
So Violence Alice. Like, it's Voldemort or some shit. My cancer or something has me typing more. Glass.? Glass you say? Do you get that part Alice. Is that why I leaf you and call myself from before suicide? I guess. And me some more. I would have loved to have committed suicide. Like, a lot. I need to discuss this with you Alice. You kinda get that we would have slept together. I don't really know how it isn't celibacy to anyone. That's just a Pokemon anyway. I'm fucking starving. I need to spend my $200 of stamps on food next month. I can't believe I had my cig situai figured out. I love you Alice. You don't really get it. I don't like you. But whatever. I can love you a bit. I wish you could read Alice. You are not real. Please understand this. I have nothing to do but watch That 70's Show. At least when I get done smoking at this place with a car hooked up to a tv and fan. I need a square. I do not like you. Anyone could read this and get that. I like how it's rare and you can't really fuck with anything. Or maybe you can? That's about as far as we go. Prime example. Maybe I would have-nevermind.
Needs a sun for that.
I miss being able to watch House. I love you 13. This sucks. Not being with you and whatnot. How do you even get a hold of reggie? Someone wants to sell me seeds and steams on front. Cara.
My brain is a dysfunction. I need you to find Rodger if you are reading this.
Like, I need someone finding me an alien.
