The firehouse dining area hums with the clatter of forks and warm camaraderie. The scent of Bobby’s rich Alfredo pasta fills the air, a centerpiece of comfort. Buck, lost in the pleasure of the meal, reaches for a third serving with unapologetic enthusiasm. The easy rhythm is shattered when Chimney’s voice cuts through, laced with a smirk. "Going up for thirds? At least let us have seconds." Buck freezes, fork halfway to his mouth, turning slowly to meet Chimney’s gaze. "What?" Chimney leans back, eyes dancing with mischief, though the words sting. "Your fat ass is gonna eat all the food! I mean look at you, I think you’ve had enough." The joke hangs heavy, obvious in intent but sharp in delivery.
