"TK?" Carlos slurred, and he was instantly on alert, scooting closer to him. Carlos, with a great deal of effort, picked up his head from it lay on his father's shoulder and looked at him with unfocused eyes.
He put a hand on the back of his neck, supporting him. "I'm here, baby." "Good," he muttered, letting his head fall back in his hold.
TK pressed a kiss to the top of his head, eyes closed as he breathed him in. "I'm so glad you're okay," he whispered into his hair, letting out a shuddering breath. "I was so worried." Carlos nodded, and TK felt the movement rather than saw it. "I saw you." TK pulled him close, let his head rest on his chest. They breathed, slow and steady. Together. . "How are you feeling, son?"
Carlos looked up from his phone, smiling softly at his father. He took the offered glass of water, but didn't drink. "Carlos?"
"Hmm?"
Gabriel pursed his lips. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine."

Hey, Dad!
Summary: Father’s Day has been a sticky subject for Adam for years. It used to be painful to spend the time with Bob, listening to his dad complain about everything.
But on a sunny Sunday in June 2022, he learns the good parts about it.
Words: 2.2k
Warnings: none
—
Father’s Day had never really been a day that Adam Ruzek enjoyed. As a kid it was always the day that he felt like he was supposed to impress his dad, and Bob was never happy with a macaroni card and some Cubs merchandise. As he got older and his parents had split up it just felt like a waste of time.

OH MY GOD I HAVE A NEW ENTIRE REALIZATION BASED ON A CONVO I WAS HAVING W A FRIEND ON TWT ABOUT THE AIRPORT REUNION SCENE IS 3.08!!!
Mkay TK and Carlos demonstrate how safe they feel with each other in different ways. From the beginning of the show, TK is always shown as a restless/anxious person (he’s always fidgeting, his leg is always bouncing etc) and he never quite calms/settles fully until we see him and Carlos get together for real. The first real time TK seems fully settled and relaxed is in 1.10 when Carlos shows up at the firehouse and TK all but melts into that hug and then when they’re laying on the hood of Carlos’ car. I should mention I headcanon TK as neurodivergent so I think some of his “fidgeting” and restless behaviour is just stimming however, as a neurodivergent person it’s very different from his anxious fidgeting.
Throughout S2 and S3 there are so many more instances of TK being at his most relaxed/only ever visibly relaxed when he’s with Carlos. The biggest example in S2 I can think of is the scene is 2.12 after the fire when TK is comforting Carlos and hugging him saying “we’re okay” because obviously they both just went through a terrifying experience and didn’t know if they’d make it out but now that they’re out safely, TK relaxes into the hug and is visibly calm, at least on the exterior.
Now, the airport reunion scene in 3.08 is so similar because as soon as TK sees Carlos, you can see his body visibly relax again and when they hug/kiss it’s almost as if you can see TK’s brain telling his body “Carlos is here, we’re safe now.” TK is visibly calmer and his restless energy basically disappears.
TK feels SO SAFE with Carlos that the anxiety and restlessness that is very typical to see with TK just disappears and his mind and body just KNOW the Carlos is his safe place; his home.
But Carlos is always calm at least on the outside. He doesn’t really express anxiety/fear externally (and the first time we really see it is when TK is in a coma after getting shot in 1.08). Then throughout S2 and S3 again, we slowly start to see more and more of Carlos feeling safe enough to slowly start letting that put-together exterior slip in front of TK.
During the conversation after their fight about Carlos not introducing TK to his parents as his boyfriend is probably the first time we see genuine fear on Carlos’ face and TK recognizes that and tries his best to comfort and reassure him. We see it again in 2.08 when Carlos is talking to Gwyn and Owen about TK not showing up for dinner. Yes, he seems worried but he is visibly holding it together until it’s just him and TK (yes there are other people in the vicinity but still) and only then can we see the actual fear and worry written on his face. Also, this is the episode where Carlos mentions his father thinking he’s too “soft to be a cop” so we can assume that this belief/relationship with his father has caused him to learn to hide/repress his feelings, especially those like fear, worry etc that’d be deemed “soft”.
The scene after the fire in 2.12 too. Carlos is visibly panicking, blaming himself, and is so scared but he’s with TK so his mind/body allow him to be vulnerable with his emotions in a way he isn’t when others are around. Okay, finally 3.08 the episode that started this whole conversation.
In 3.08 during the airport reunion scene once again, it is similar to the 2.12 scene I talked about above. Carlos seems calm on the exterior, maybe a bit tense but still seemingly put-together, that is until he runs to TK on the tarmac. Once he’s in TK’s arms and they’re back in each other’s space again, Carlos breaks down and you can see the worry and fear on his face and hear it in his voice. When it’s just him and TK we see him let that barrier down and show those real emotions and actually be scared or anxious etc.
Carlos feels SO SAFE with TK that he knows he can allow himself to show his emotions and be vulnerable. He knows if he breaks or falls apart TK will be there to catch him and help put him back together. His mind/body KNOW that TK is his safe place; his home.
