on the matter of the heart
Evan Buckley / Tommy Kinard | 4k | Rated T
Summary:
Tommy does not shake.
He's too old for that, and has seen far too much to let fear overtake his body like an unwanted animal. He was in the Army well before he became a firefighter, and he was a punk-ass kid watching his friends overdose and die on the streets of Los Angeles well before that. So when he hovers over the wreckage of the car accident and sees the mangled remnants of a familiar Jeep, he does not shake.
He is steady as Lucy descends onto the highway and secures Evan to a backboard. Steady when she gets him into the helicopter and the smells of blood and gasoline immediately hit his nose like a foul thing. Steady even when they're en route to the hospital and all he can hear is the urgent sound of her voice as the team in the back desperately tries to keep Evan alive.
On the outside, he is calm and collected, the stalwart firefighter and soldier he was trained to be. But on the inside, his heart is another matter entirely.

When you crack a stupid joke that genuinely makes your friend laugh and you realize how much you love him after he points out how silly you are 🌵
A SILLY LITTLE DOODLE On how Valentin was the first to fall etc 😌
I've talked about it before, but it's a slooow slow burn, Valentin not wanting to fall in love again, out of fear, after a bad experience (his only experience so far, really) but it's really damn hard not to fall in love with the guy who saved your life, who's an absolute all around sweetheart, incredibly kind, resourceful, smart, talented, handsome-- YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, you get the idea hgfhhg 🤡
