after a long day at universals and a fun night with the pack, it was truly surprising that sawyer was still wide awake. she spent most of the night talking with marco and finishing drink after drink, but ultimately he fell asleep and sawyer sat there awake and looking for entertainment. a mischievous thought popped up in her head when she made her way to the kitchen, catching a glimpse of rafael sleeping peacefully on the couch. sawyer ran to the kitchen, put her drink down, and filled a small glass up with water. she stood on the side where he rested his head, holding out the cup while she debated whether she should actually pull through with it. ‘ fuck it. ’, she said to herself before letting the water splash on his face. the blonde then quickly ducked behind the couch as if it wouldn’t be obvious that it was her.
✗ 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔰𝔱 𝔣𝔢𝔴 𝔡𝔞𝔶𝔰 𝔦𝔫 new orleans had been a whirlwind of eating , drinking , and then more eating , and then MORE drinking . after another blurry night with his friends , rafael had collapsed onto the first comfortable surface he’d seen : the couch in the living room . SURE , rosie’s grandmother had enough beds to fit the entire los angeles laker’s team and then some , but the thought of stumbling through the mansion to find the bed he’d claimed for himself seemed like a feat he only would’ve been able to accomplish THREE drinks ago . so , with one of the throw blankets haphazardly thrown over his bare chest , raf slept peacefully — probably dreaming of food or dogs — UNTIL he was abruptly awoken by water splashing him in the face . now , having grown up surrounded by a bunch of dudes and also going into a career where he lived with other guys for almost weeks at a time , rj was used to the silly pranks that would be pulled in the late hours of the night — which also meant he was used to REACTING very quickly . “ JESUS , ” he exclaimed , immediately alert from the cold water , and without even looking to see who it was , raf’s hands reached out to grab the culprit by the shoulders and tackle them to the ground . it was only when he was face to face with a BEAUTIFUL blonde that he realized it wasn’t one of the guys pulling a prank on him . “ sawyer ? ” he questioned , wet ringlets hanging around his face and dripping into hers , before breaking into a laugh at the sight of her below him , his hands still holding hers above her head as he straddled him . “ christ , what the hell are you doing ? trying to give me a heart attack ? ”

“so, i’m in a bit of a predicament,” sailor began, trying to hide the beginnings of a smile behind her mug of coffee as she eyed raf from where she stood on the other side of the kitchen counter. it was nothing BAD, even if that was how she made it sound — that much was because she all but LIVED to be a pain-in-the-ass. in reality, she had just MISSED him. sailor valued each and every member of the snack pack, alike, but raf — sweet rafael, who had been her first kiss when they were just silly kids, who had offered her a place to sleep whenever she needed, who took care of her when she showed up at his door with a black eye forming without question — was SPECIAL. “you see, i’m in DIRE need of someone to explore the world showcase at epcot with me. someone who doesn’t mind walking and is also ready to try a BUNCH of snacks and drinks and such. know of anyone who would be down for such a task?”
✗ 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔥 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔢𝔩𝔟𝔬𝔴𝔰 𝔭𝔯𝔬𝔭𝔭𝔢𝔡 𝔲𝔭 on the island , rafael sipped gently at his coffee , donning his new goofy t-shirt . he’d been relishing in his PEACEFUL morning , free of screaming children and shrill theme park rides , when sailor’s voice carried him out of his reverie . his eyes shot to the blonde , brows already furrowing in concern at her opening statement as he began mentally preparing to help sailor with WHATEVER predicament she’d gotten herself into this time — it was something he was all - too used to doing for the blonde , but rj would never be caught complaining . however , as she continued to speak , raf felt a smile grow on his features . he laughed and set his coffee cup on the island before moving to rest his chin in the palm of his hand , eyebrows now raising at the blonde . “ WOW , that is a predicament , sailor , ” raf teased with a smirk . if there was one thing he’d been most looking forward to about the squad’s trip to florida , it had been travelling the world through epcot’s world showcase and fulfill his wanderlust in some form . “ you know , i just HAPPEN to have a very open schedule today and i am long overdue for some time with my favourite hotel guest . ”

she was exhausted from the day, having spend hours upon hours with various people trying everything disney world had to offer, but then she’d bumped into rafael. a sight for sore eyes. it hadn’t taken her long to rope him into taking one more ride with her, although it was definitely her last for the day. she loved disney, who didn’t, but with all the people it wasn’t the most ideal place. as they stood in line ale had her arms wrapped around him, cheek resting against his chest. they hadn’t even had time to hang out properly at any point on this trip and she’d missed him and his calming presence. with a sigh she pulled away, looking up at him with a studios look for a second before she removed her minnie ears and placed them on his head instead. “ oh yeah, definitely the cutest minnie i’ve ever seen. ” well, cute probably wasn’t the right word for him but telling him he was a handsome minnie also didn’t feel completely right. “ how far are we, i feel like we’ve been standing here for two hours ? ”
✗ 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔰𝔱 𝔡𝔞𝔶 𝔞𝔱 𝔡𝔦𝔰𝔫𝔢𝔶 𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔫𝔢𝔡 out to be a success for raf — he was never the BIGGEST fan of rides catering towards young children , but there was always something magical about anything disney related so he’d been able to find his silver lining . after a day of following his friends around the park , they’d stumbled across ale and the group she’d been adventuring with and the two had decided to break off and enjoy the rest of their time at the park with each other . he’d let her pick the ride , mostly because he didn’t really know which ones were the best or worst , and as they stood in what was probably the HUNDREDTH line raf had stood in that day , raf found himself pulling ale into his arms . his arms were looped around her waist and he instinctively pressed an innocent kiss to her dark hair , just seconds before the girl pulled away and placed her minnie ears atop his head . his eyes rolled at her comment but he couldn’t help but laugh , though he was positive he looked RIDICULOUS with the little red bow hidden amongst his curls . “ cutest ? that’s hard to believe , ” he teased with a smirk before his eyebrows raised at her question . a laugh shook his shoulders as he assessed the line they stood in . “ no need to be dramatic , ” raf teased , nudging her side with his elbow gently . “ we’ll probably be in the NEXT group to get on — what even is this ride anyway ? ” his eyebrows scrunched together as he looked at their surroundings to try and decipher just WHAT he’d gotten himself into .

it would’ve been easier had he still lived directly next door. she knew the ins and outs of his old house like it was her own, and his bedroom window was a quick climb away. with his apartment, though, it took a lot more work to get in, get him up, and hurry him into the jeep in a timely manner. there was a brief moment, somewhere in between home and their destination half an hour outside of provincetown, when raf looked over at her, a couple curls falling over sleepy eyes, that she felt SLIGHTLY guilty about the whole thing. but early mornings weren’t foreign for him, and what she had to show him would be worth it. they’d been trekking over sand and tall grass for what felt like too long when they finally reached the base of a steep incline that would take them to the highest point overlooking the water. “ last leg, ” she paused, adjusting the straps of her backpack before sliding the elastic from her wrist and tugging her hair up into a ponytail, “ now i know for a fact that–– if this is to be a proper, fair race–– i won’t win. because you spend hours upon hours lugging around heavy gear, training with life-size dummies, and rescuing kittens from trees for a living. so me winning would mean you let me, and if you let me, you can find your own way back home. which is why––… ” she gave her hair one final tug, making sure it was secure, before looking over at him with a mischievous grin, “ i’m giving myself a head start. ” evan reached over and gave him a light shove before sprinting off, up towards the top, throwing one last jab over her shoulder, “ last one up buys breakfast later. ”
✗ 𝔱𝔬 𝔰𝔞𝔶 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔥𝔞𝔡 taken an UNEXPECTED turn would be a bit of an understatement . one minute he was comfortably tucked into his bed , ready to enjoy his first day off shift from the fire hall , and the next minute he was in the passenger seat of evan’s car with his longtime friend to his left driving him god knows where . NOT that he was really complaining — though sleep still lingered in the back of his mind , just being in the presence of evan seemed to awaken the adventure inside of him and put a spring in his step when she’d finally parked her jeep and he jumped out . he followed her like a well - trained puppy as they trekked through the ocean - side wilderness until they reached an incline . evan’s voice drew raf’s gaze to the girl as she tied her hair back and he let a brow quirk up at her words , clueless for a moment about what the brunette was getting at , but by the time he finally put the puzzle pieces together , her arm was reaching out to shove him over and the girl was OFF like a bolt of lightning . he hesitated for a second , the surprise bringing a smile to his lips and a laugh shook his shoulders before he immediately took off after her . it was clear she had the upper hand , despite his EXTENSIVE athletic history that she’d previously pointed out , because she was familiar with the terrain they were navigating — raf’s steps were more careful than usual as he took care not to step into a deep hole or trip over an abandoned branch . “ trying to tire me out so you can murder me more easily ? ” raf teased past huffs of breath as they ran , poking fun at how she had taken him out into the middle of no where without much of an explanation .

casey leaned back in his seat, groaning at the long line of vehicles that had already started to form near the fire station. his fingers tapped on the steering wheel, knowing it was a rarity to allow anyone else behind the wheel of either of his vehicles. the things you do for love, he’d joked with rj before agreeing to make a point to show up in support of one of his best friends. “ oh what the fuck, ” he laughed as the boy himself sauntered up to the driver’s side window, “ mate, am i in the right place ? ” he glanced around, feigning a concerned expression as he looked back to rj with a furrowed brow, “ this is the local casting call for the bachelorette, right ? i skipped out on the one last week for magic mike the third because––… let’s face it––… i can’t act, but i figure i’m charming enough to maybe make it all the way with that. have the country fall in love with me, not get the final rose, maybe get my own season ? ” his eyebrow lifted skeptically, “ this is–– that, right ? because this looks like every middle aged white woman’s dream. ” a wicked grin tugged at the corner of his lips, “ and you’re fucking milking it, aren’t you? ”
✗ 𝔠𝔞𝔰𝔢𝔶'𝔰 𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔬𝔩𝔬𝔤𝔲𝔢 𝔟𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔤𝔥𝔱 a grin to raf’s lips as he put a hand on the roof of his best friend’s car and leaned into it . “ i know you’re just trying to be mr funny man , but you really do have the charm to win america over — ladies love a man with an accent , ” he teased with a wink before straightening up and looking down at the outfit he donned , unable to deny that he was thoroughly enjoying himself . “ what can i say , case , i’m a CHARITABLE man . ” he grinned and hooked his thumbs around the suspenders drawn over his bare shoulders . while the fire hall car wash was possibly THE most stereotypical thing the crew could do , that didn’t make it any less enjoyable . “ i spend twelve hours a day with a bunch of dudes , there’s a whole lot of testosterone in that hall , ” rj jerked a thumb over his shoulder at the fire hall that loomed behind them , “ i REALLY can’t complain about a bunch of ladies coming down to lighten the mood — for a good cause of course . ”

✗ 𝔫𝔬𝔱 𝔞 𝔠𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝔥𝔲𝔫𝔤 in the sky as provincetown’s fire crew set up their semi - annual car wash and rafael couldn’t be more grateful . it was his first time participating in the event and he’d been practically GIDDY in the days leading up to it , excited to do his part to help raise money for charity . he was just filling one of the last buckets with soap and water when he heard his chief call out , “ OY ! our first customers are lining up ! ” straightening up from his stoop with a grin , rj turned around and adjusted the suspenders of his pants — which happened to be the ONLY part of his uniform was wearing . his eyes surveyed the cars already pulling into the large parking lot of the fire hall and a laugh shook his bare shoulders when he spotted a familiar face in the driver’s seat of one of the nearest cars . the male sauntered over to the vehicle before leaning down to look into the window with a smirk . “ what a pleasure to see you here , ” he teased with a laugh , tucking a curly lock behind his ear .
