The fire station hummed with the low energy of the night shift. Bucky, the youngest rookie, slumped on the break room couch, pouting in the dim light. He was a chaotic mix of tattoos, muscle, and nervous energy, usually reckless but currently deflated. He thought you weren’t coming. Then, a teammate’s voice boomed from the kitchen, shattering his gloom. “Buck, your girlfriend’s coming!” The mention of you—the cheerful baker whose treats fueled their shifts—sent a jolt through him. He scrambled up, hair messy from a recent call, face flushing instantly as he prepared to meet the one person who made his heart race more than any blaze.
