Paramedic TK 🥹🤏

[tarlos-spain]

This is the prompt @tarlosweeklyprompts give us for this week

After answering a call where the 126 and APD are both called, the victim develops a crush on TK and won't leave him alone (suggestions: the person could show up at TKs work, places he goes etc) and this leads to Carlos feeling more possessive than usual and he makes a point to show everyone that TK is his.

Title: The saviour

The stranger exhaled sharply and began to breathe as soon as TK separated his face from his. The mouth-to-mouth had taken effect and there would be no need to intubate him. The man looked at him and smiled.

"You saved my life, I owe you my life."

"Don't worry, it's my job" TK replied and sat up to separate from him.

But the man grabbed his arm and pulled him. "I mean it, you saved my life, I owe you whatever you ask."

"And I tell you that's not necessary, thank you. I'm a paramedic, I get to do this every day."

TK patted his hand and released his arm and then pulled himself up. He watched as Nancy and Tommy lifted the stretcher up and into the ambulance and thought he noticed, at the last moment, that the man was staring at him and giving him a smile.

"Shall we go?" asked Judd putting a hand on his shoulder and TK gasped. "It's going all right."

"Yeah, it's just...that guy, the hit-and-run guy...I don't know, he was confused and...I don't know, but he seemed to be looking at me funny."

"He wasn't looking at you funny, he probably didn't even know where they were. Come on, let's go to the barracks, the shift is almost over and we can all go home."

That night, TK had a stupid nightmare. He was again getting mouth-to-mouth from the same man, but this time, when he tried to pull away from him, he found himself handcuffed to him. The man would get to his feet, pull him up and drag him away without TK being able to do anything to stop him.

He woke up sweating, sitting up in bed with Carlos' arms around him.

"Tee, mi amor, is everything all right, what's wrong?"

"It's silly, just silly."

"It won't be when you're shaking."

He told him what happened and Carlos agreed with him that it was silly. But he knew him well and knew that TK didn't take that familiarity with acquaintances well, although he had never told him why.

"Tomorrow will be another day and you will have forgotten. Let's go to sleep, come on." Carlos held out his arms for TK to settle on his chest and then closed his arms, finally kissing his boyfriend's head.

TK soon fell asleep.

Two days later, while they were tidying up the ambulance, TK received a visitor that Mateo alerted him to.

"It's a guy, his face rings a bell and he says he wants to talk to you."

"With me?"

Mateo shrugged and TK followed him until he recognized the other man's figure between the two barracks trucks.

"TK, hello." The man walked over to him and took both of his hands. "Sorry for the intrusion, but I needed to see you and thank you again for saving my life the other day." He shook TK's hands so hard it almost made TK's whole body shake. "You saved my life and I need... I need to do something for you."

TK released his hands and took a step back.

Few knew that he had problems with physical contact with strangers, because he didn't want to talk about it. So no one except his father, who wasn't in the barracks at the time, knew he felt like running away.

"I saved your life..." He paused because he didn't even know the man's name.

"Peter."

"Peter, I saved your life because it's my job and my duty to save people. I would have saved anyone in your situation. It's not personal."

"Yeah, well, but for me it was. I opened my eyes and saw you there. My goodness, with those green eyes and that smile. You were happy to see me, you showed me that I was worth coming back and living for."

"Ehm... I'm glad I got that, but you can rest easy and rest, you came close to dying and you need to rest."

"I brought you something," the man said and handed him a box which TK took a moment to take. "It's silly and I don't know if you like sweets, but if you prefer something else, tell me what it is and I'll change it."

"Look, Peter." TK's discomfort became a little more pressing as the man rested the box on his chest, opened it and showed him the pastries inside. "I like the sweet, yes, thank you."

The figure of Charles entering the barracks, made TK's heart relax a little, he took the box, closed it and rested it on a table next to him. He walked past Peter and dropped into Carlos' arms.

"That's him. It's the guy I saved," she whispered to him.

Carlos circled his waist and gave him a long kiss on the cheek.

Peter walked past him and left, under the watchful eye of the cop and who was now rubbing TK's back.

"That's it. He's gone."

"I'm an idiot, I know. The guy I save comes to thank me and brings me pies, and I run away thinking he's a fucking stalker."

TK talking about himself vs. Other people talking about TK

[theghostofashton]

i've always wondered when exactly tk may have decided to go for the dual-certification in new york, and now i'm thinking about the possibility of him doing so after rehab. about that becoming something he could focus his time and energy on, a goal for him to work toward. something that was grounding and rewarding, in the tangibility of its results. thinking about how validating it must've felt, when he passed the exam, like proof he was capable and good, at something he did all on his own. his becoming a firefighter is tied to owen in a lot of ways, but this.... this is something he did all on his own, because he wanted to. and i love the idea of it happening after he got out of rehab, this act of choosing himself, proving to himself that he could.

It’s finally here! You’d think with the way I slaved over this fic it’d be 100k. Thanks to @whenshereads for dragging me through this kicking and screaming. Even though I wanted to throw the computer against the wall every time she found a plot hole. And @steddie-as-they-go for screaming with me over facetime. This wouldn’t exist without both of you.

Green Eyes, Blue Skies

16k . Carlos Reyes/TK Strand . Explicit

When Carlos is tasked with uncovering the dump site of a serial killer on death row his biggest concern was being apart from TK for three months. But when a prison break goes awry, his biggest concern is TK being caught in the middle.

There’s a calmness that comes over TK whenever he sees Carlos. It doesn’t matter what’s happening around them – solar flare, dust storm, ice storm – if he can see Carlos he knows everything is going to be fine. Carlos won’t let anything happen to him. And TK would never let anything happen to Carlos. 

It’s why, in the face of everything that’s happened so far, he hasn’t been terrified. He’s held on to the fact that they’re going to get out of this. They have to, there’s no other option his brain will allow. Besides, Carlos is enough of a worrier for the both of them. 

That was before though. Before he felt the arm wrapping around his waist. Before he felt his feet leaving the ground.

He kicks out, his feet barely scrabbling against the floor, arms reaching out to grab on to anything. Carlos is too far away. He can’t reach him.

“Carlos!” he screams. And the whole world comes to a stop.
