----

The walk up to the apartment was quiet, considering that it was close to 10pm, you didn't really expect otherwise. Luke should have been home a few hours ago as they returned from a case in New York this morning and he had been at the BAU doing some paperwork, at least that's what the text that you received said.

Roxy was laying by the couch when you got in, her head perked up at the sound of your keys. She came running over to you and you crouched to give her side a rub, “hi baby” you scratched behind her ear.

“Where is your dad ?” standing up, Roxy trailed behind you as you ventured further into the apartment. Luke was asleep on the couch, it looks like he came in and just fell asleep on the couch. You didn’t blame him, poor thing must be tired, they barely sleep when they’re on a case. Leaning down to give him a kiss on the cheek, he smelt odd. Not in a bad way but not necessarily in a good way either. It wasn't his cologne you were smelling but perfume and it wasn't yours. This was sweet and fruity, and strong, like whoever was wearing it had been pressed up against him long enough of it to transfer onto his clothing. Luke’s hand on your thigh startled you and broke your thought, he looked up at you as you were still hovering over him.

“Did you just get in? you asked, taking a step back. He nodded, rubbing his eyes and sitting up, “yeah, a hour ago or something like that”

“How much paperwork did you have to do?” you sat beside him.

“A lot, I didn’t finish all anyways”

“I like your perfume” you say, looking over at him. Luke leant down towards his shoulder, inhaling the sweet fruit-like scent that was all over him. He paused from a moment, practically hearing the gears turn in his head. “Oh yeah,” he chuckled, “Garica gave me a hug on the way out, said it was for Roxy since she didn’t get to come see her” he said, leaning back into the couch and nodding. Seems like he was trying to convince himself of his lie rather than convince you.

“I'm going to take a shower. Do you wanna grab something for dinner ?” you ask, standing up.

“Chinese ? I could run out and get it”

“Yeah, sounds good. Take Rox with you if you're gonna walk ?”

“Yeah, of course” He stood too, Luke gave you a quick peck on the lips and out the door he went with Roxy following right behind him. The moment the door shut, you headed to the room. Luke’s bag was on the bed, pulling the zip open, you dumped the contents of the bag into the bed.

What were you looking for? You had no fucking idea but you weren't gonna quit until you found what you were looking for.

Tumbling through his clothes, you occasionally picked up a shirt and smelt it to find the same scent you smelt on Luke a few moments ago. The whole thing felt wrong, you shouldn't be tumbling through your boyfriend’s stuff. He loved you and you knew that, maybe he was telling you the truth, maybe Penelope did just give him a hug. A phone chimed, pulling yours from your pocket, the screen was blank. The chime went off again and across the room, Luke’s phone sat on the dresser with the screen lit up. You took a few steps towards the dresser, pausing in the middle of the room, do you check his phone or do you not ?

The moral compass went out the window the moment you tumbled through his clothes. Fuck it, you wanted- needed to know who was texting him. Picking up the phone, you unlocked it. Someone named Lisa was texting him.

From Lisa: It was nice seeing you tonight, I missed you.

From Lisa: Let me know when you're free again, maybe we could get together.

Who the fuck was Lisa and why did she miss Luke ? And why did she see Luke tonight ?

The sound of barking caused you to turn towards the door. You tossed all of Luke’s clothes in the laundry basket before returning his phone to the spot on the dresser and you sprinted to the bathroom.

“Babe! I’m home!” Luke shouted from the doorway, “In the shower, give me a few!” you shouted back.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck do you confront him or do you leave him ?

Your mind went to the worst possible conclusion, Luke was cheating on you. Maybe he wasn't, maybe Lisa was a cousin or a friend from college. Decided to push all thoughts of Lisa from your mind, you took a quick shower before joining your boyfriend in the kitchen. You just wanted a normal night in.

--

From Luke: Hey baby, running late tonight. Got to finish this paper work, I'll call when I'm on my way home. I love you.

To Luke: Sounds good, I love you too.

The phone returned to its spot in your pocket, your chair spun to face your co-worker, Sarah. “Wanna grab dinner ? Luke’s working late and I’m starving”

“Yeah,” she smiled at you, “give me a few to finish this and I'm ready”

You nodded, spinning your chair back towards your desk. Luke’s message and the message from last night ran through your mind again.

“Running late tonight. Got to finish this paperwork”

“Let me know when you're free again, maybe we could get together.”

Was he meeting Lisa or was he really just working late? You trusted Luke, you knew he wouldn't be stupid enough to cheat, right ?

Sarah tapped your shoulder, “ready?” “Yeah, I was thinking of the Italian place on 43rd ?”

The two of you headed out, the streets were full of life and sound. People moving in every direction, some with others, some by themselves. Sarah walked into the restaurant first as you followed behind her. Seeing that she got in first, she sat in the first chair and you sat across from you. You were telling her about some files you had to go over for your boss but she didn’t seem to be listening to you, her focus was on something behind you.

“Earth to Sarah” you laughed, her focus coming back to you. “I’m sorry,” she gave you a small smile before her eyes drifted back to whatever she was looking at. “Sarah, what are you looking at?” you go to turn, she grabs your hand and your eyes are back on her.

“You said Luke was working late right ?” she asked, glancing behind you and back to you once again. You nodded, your brows furrowed, you could feel a line developing on your forehead.

“Sarah, what's going on?”

“Okay, I don’t want you to freak but I think Luke lied to you”

“What are you talking about ?”

“Isn't that him over there with another woman ?” she pointed to a woman in a green dress, who you could see clearly and a man who was wearing a black sweater. His back was towards you but even for behind you could tell it was Luke. One because you had bought him that sweater for Christmas and two his phone was sticking out his back pocket and you could see the picture of Roxy on his lock screen. Luke leaned over the table slightly to kiss the woman that sat across from him.

“Fuck” you mumbled. “What are you gonna do?” Sarah asks, “do you want me to dump a glass of water on him?” she offers, shaking the glass slightly. Her offer made you smile, “no but thank you” you smile. Walking through the restaurant to his table, you weren’t sure who this woman was or why he was here or why he had lied to you but you wanted to know.

“Hi,” you stuck your hand out towards the woman. “Um, hi?” she shook your hand, you glanced over at Luke and his face went pale. “I’m y/n, Luke’s girlfriend. You are ?”

“Lisa, Luke’s- Luke’s date” she looked over at Luke who was sitting there quietly, not a word came out of his mouth. “Let me guess, he didn’t mention he had a girlfriend huh” you chucked, she shook her head. “Smooth Alvez, real smooth. So much for being a ‘playa’ huh?” you laugh. “Y/n, wait-” Luke started as he stood, you turned on your heels and walked away. “Sarah, I'm gonna head out. I’m sorry” you give her an apologetic look as you rest a hand on her shoulder, her hand comes up and gives your hand a squeeze.

“Call me okay ?” she looked up at you

“Of course” you smiled and walked out.

Luke was making his way out of his restaurant when you got into a cab. Looking back, Luke stood there with his eyes fixed on the cab that you were in. It was around 7 so it was rush hour. You had maybe 20 minutes before Luke got home, if he was even coming home. That should be enough time to pack up your stuff. The drive was fairly quick, surprisingly and you sprinted up the stairs and into the apartment, putting the chain bolt on the door. Roxy rubbed up against your leg as you pulled your suitcases out from the closet.

“Hey baby,” you crouch down and scratch under her chin. “I’m sorry but I gotta go, I love you, you know that right ?” you told her, you knew she wouldn’t- couldn't answer you. You pressed a little kiss to the top of her head before tossing the suitcase on the bed. Roxy jumped up onto the bed as well, watching from beside the suitcase as you tossed everything from the drawers into the suitcase. Whatever you could grab was thrown in, fold or unfold- it didn’t matter right now. Hangers from the closet were scattered across the floor, you hopped over them on your way to the dresser. The makeup bag, your perfume bottles, the expensive ass lotion you bought that did absolutely nothing for you and the one framed picture of you and Roxy also got tossed on top of the clothes. That suitcase was zipped and set by the bedroom door, the other one gets opened on the floor, you pull all the shoes from the closet and throw them in, next stop was the bathroom, picking up anything you can recognize as yours and tossing it in.

You took one last look around, you didn’t really know what you were packing for, you didn’t even know where you were going. Were you about to uproot your entire life ? Probably, but was it worth it ? No fucking idea.

That seemed to be the theme of your life, you having no fucking idea what’s happening. You had always been a “go with the flow” type of gal.

The door rattled as Luke tried to push it open, the chain was hooked and he knew that. “Y/n! I know you’re in there! Open the door please!” he shouted from the other side. Debating on what you should do, you sat on the floor beside the opened suitcase. After what felt like an eternity, the chain snapped, you could hear the faint sound of the chain and then the loud thud which was the door hitting the wall. Luke must of kicked it in or did some stupid bodyslam to get it open.

“Where are you!?” he called as he walked through the apartment. His footsteps approached the room, he pushed the door open and took in the scene that was in front of him. Roxy was laying on the bed, the closet door was pushed open as was the door to the bathroom, there were hangers all over the floor and the bed, the drawers pulled out. The room was in a state of disarray.

“Y/n..” Luke looked down at you by the suitcase.

“What?” you spat, your voice filled with anger and hate. He couldn't blame you, he deserved it. He did the one thing he promised that he’d never do.

“It wasn't what it looked li- no it was. It was what it looked like. I was having dinner with another woman”

“Oh?” you scoffed, “your date, Lisa ? Yeah, she seems wonderful Luke.”

“I’m sor-” your laughter cut him off, “No you’re not. Don’t lie to me. Didn't you do enough of that already ?”

Luke stood there, not another word left his mouth nor did he move. He stood there watching as you got up. There was a safe in the closet, the two of you kept important things in there. Passports, legal documents, a couple thousand dollars in cash and Luke's gun when he was off duty. Opening it, you pick up your passport and some cash, what was he going to do, stop you after he cheated on you ? The gun rested on the top shelf, part of you wanted to go full crazy bitch on him but you knew it wasn't worth it. Life in jail over a cheating boyfriend ? Definitely not. Once again, you could feel Luke’s eyes burning into your back as you shoved the cash and passport into your purse. The suitcases get pulled into the living room, both Luke and Roxy follow behind you.

Once more, you bend down to give Roxy a kiss on the head and one last belly rub. “I’m sorry baby,” you whisper as you run your fingers through her fur. Roxy nuzzled into your side for a moment before trotting off to her bed in the corner. Luke looked over at you, “that’s it ? We're not gonna talk about it ?” he asks, his voice breaking for a moment.

“What's there to talk about ?” You question, looking back at him

“You didn’t even let me apologize”

“There’s nothing to apologize for. You didn’t accidentally cheat, you knew what you were doing.”

“Doesn't mean I’m not sorry y/n”

“I don't care Luke. I don’t- won’t tolerate that. What did I always tell you ? If you have feelings for someone else, tell me. Don’t lie or humiliate me and you did both.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Bye Luke.” you pull the door open and pull the suitcases out with you. Luke followed you into the hallway, he stood by the door. “Where are you going to go ?” he shouted to you, you were waiting for the elevators. “Doesn't matter, just away from you.” you shout back, you could see Luke’s heart shatter, you didn’t think it was possible but it was.

Once you got down, you got into a cab. You sat in the back as the driver put your luggage into the trunk. Luke’s words ringing in your head, “where are you going to go?” and that was the thing, you had no idea.

“Miss, where too?” the driver asked you, looking back at you through the rearview mirror, you paused before you gave him an answer. “The airport please.”

The whole drive you kept thinking about where you would go when you go there. Maybe on a girls trip, although it's just you or maybe you’d travel to all the places that Luke was too busy to go with you too. Your mind drifted back through the events of the night, leaving work with Sarah, seeing Luke in the restaurant, the panicked packing, the goodbye.

Oh fuck, Sarah.

To Sarah: Hey, I totally forgot to text you. I ended it with Luke, no surprise there. I’m headed to the airport right now, no idea where I'm gonna go but just thought I'd update you.

To Sarah: Sorry for ditching you at dinner tonight

From Sarah: Oh my god, no worries. I’m glad you're okay. Be safe and let me know where you decide to go!! Love you lots y/n!

You shoot her back a text with the promise of letting her know. Shortly after, you arrived at the airport, you stepped in and it’s like you were in a whole different world. Following the arrows to the check in desk, the woman asked to see your passport and your ticket stub.

“Oh I don't have one.”

“That’s alright!” she smiled, “where too ? I can find you the next available flight” she informed you.

“Um,” you paused, your eyes scanning the board with departing flights, “When’s your next flight to Los Angeles?”

“Flight leaves at 4am, it arrives at 8:30am”

“I’ll take it.”

----

Sunny Los Angeles. Home Sweet Home.

Well, not quite but home is wherever your family was. That’s exactly where you were headed. You found yourself on your brother’s front steps and knocking on his door. It just occurred to you that it’s 9:30 on Tuesday morning and he might be at work. You sat on the steps, your elbows on your knees and your chin resting on your hands.

The black truck drove down the street and pulled into the driveway. Your brother rounded the front and approached the steps. “Y/n?” he looked at you, you were a mess. Last night’s work clothes, your face all red and puffy from the crying and lack of sleep.

“Hey Eds” you sniffle, standing up and brushing the dust off your pants. “What are you doing here ?” he walked over to you, you ignored his question. Eddie was standing in front of you now. “Where's my baby ?” your voice wavered over a moment, your hand coming up to shield the sun from your eyes.

“He’s at school y/n, what's wrong hermana?”

“Oh, nothing” you sniffled, the tears welling up in your eyes.

“Y/n,” Eddie looked at you, he was only older than you by a year but he acted like he was much older. No one ever hurt you without getting a “piece of him” as he used to say. “Oh Eddie” you mumbled, looking down at the ground, Eddie pulled you into a hug. He held you as you cried, he didn’t say anything nor did he ask why you were crying.

He just stood there with you.

“C’mon, let's go inside.” Eddie unlocked the door, he let you go in and then brought in your luggage. “Can I take a shower?” you mumble as you kick off your shoes by the door. “Yeah make yourself at home, we’ll talk after okay ?” Eddie gave your shoulder a squeeze before sitting on the couch. You had visited Eddie in LA once before, after Shannon passed. You came down to support him but mostly to run interference between him and your parents as they brought up the idea of Chris moving back in with them. You were in the shower for a while, when you returned to the living room, you were in one of Eddie’s t-shirts and a pair of sweatpants you found in his room.

“Feeling better ?” he patted the spot beside him, walking over and sitting beside him, you nodded. “Yeah, thank you.” Eddie smiled at you, he didn’t ask you what was going on or why you showed up on his doorstep with no call or text on a Tuesday in the middle of the year. No one had passed, at least not that he knew of so that couldn't be why you were here. Eddie racked his brain for an answer for the unexpected visit, not that he minded but he was worried. It wasn't like you to drop everything. He looked over at you, you smiled at the commercial that was playing on the screen.

Wait, she was seeing someone right ? What was his name again ? Liam ? Lionel ? No, that’s not right. Lucas ?

“I ended things with Luke.” you broke the silence, you shifted sideways to face your brother.

Luke! That was his name.

“How come ?” Eddie asked you, his attention on you.

“He cheated.”

“Do you want me to kill him ? We can catch the next flight if you want. Buck can watch Chris, it’ll be a quick thing” Eddie says in all seriousness, you shook your head. “As much as I appreciate it, it’s fine.” you smile at him.

“Was she hot at least ?” you rolled your eyes at his question and didn't answer him. “Shut up Eddie. What time is Chris done school ? I miss him”

“He's off at 3,” you glanced at the clock, it was only 1:30. “Okay, what can we do for the next 1 and a half hours ?”

“Tequila truths ? But only for a little while. I have to drive.” Eddie suggested, you head perked up at the mention of the game. “Oh yeah, go get the bottle.”

Tequila truths was a little game you and Eddie came up with when you were in high school. The premise of the game was basically 2 lies and a truth, if you guessed the truth right then the person who turn it was had to take a shot and if you guessed wrong, you had to take a shot.

Eddie returned with a bottle of Don Julio, “when did you grow up and start buying the good stuff ?” taking the bottle from him, opening it and taking a starter shot. Eddie sat across from you and took the bottle back, ”when I grew up and realized how difficult life was, I thought why not treat myself?” he laughed and also took a shot.

“okay I'll start. 1. I lied to mom and dad and told them I was going to Ella’s house when I actually went to Vegas for the weekend. 2. I got arrested for possession of a controlled substance or 3. I accidentally shot the wall in Luke’s apartment and we lose the security deposit”

Your brother gave you the weirdest look, his brows furrowed. You had always lived an interesting life. “Uh, 1 is the truth.” he guessed. “Nope, 3. Take a shot” you chuckled, Eddie tipped the bottle back, his face twisting into a sour expression at the taste. “Wait, where did you even get a gun to shoot the wall ?” he asked, “it’s Luke’s. It was supposed to be in the safe but it wasn't”

“Why did he have a gun ?” you could hear the concern in Eddie’s voice. “He’s an FBI agent. It's fine”

“Oh”

“Yeah, he was in the army too, a ranger actually. You would have liked him”

Eddie nodded, he could sense the sadness setting in again, he spoke up before you could get wrapped up in your thoughts again. “Okay my turn. 1. I never did my physical for basic training because I was sick and they never asked me again so I never did it. 2. I stole a motorcycle in high school or 3. I also lied to mom and dad, saying that I was staying with you after i was discharged but I was in Hawaii with some friends for a week.”

“2 is the lie, dad asked me where you got it and I had to lie for you” you smacked his side making him laugh. “This isn't fair, I have to take another one?” he groaned

“Fine you baby, I'll take it for you. Only because you have to drive to get Chris.” Eddie handed you the bottle. The two of you played a few more rounds, you had a good buzz going by time 2:30 rolled around.

“I gotta leave to get Chris soon, are you going with me?”

“Yeah!” you stood up a little too quickly and almost toppled over, Eddie’s reflexes kicked in and his hand grabbed your side before you fell over. “Yeah maybe have some coffee and go brush your teeth, you smell like a frat boy” he pushed you towards the hallway, “haha, okay whatever” making your way over to the bathroom and brushing your teeth. When you returned to the living room, Eddie had a mug with coffee waiting for you. He waited for you to finish drinking it before leaving together.

Chris walked out with his class, you watched from beside Eddie. Chris noticed his father first, waving to him from beside his classmates. “Dad!” Chris smiled at his father as Eddie made his way over. “Hey buddy!” Eddie gave Chris a hug, they were having a conversation as they were walking back your way.

“Auntie y/n?” Chris stood beside his father, looking at you.

“Hi baby!” you walked over to him, Chris leaned into your side. “Hi!” he looked up at you. “How was school kiddo ?”

“Good!” you and Chris totally ditched Eddie, it wasn't until the two of you got to the truck that you realized Eddie was still by the school, talking to a woman.

“Hey bud?”

“Yeah?”

“Who’s that lady with your dad?”

“My teacher”

You hummed and helped Chris into the truck, the two of you were just chatting. Chris was telling you about his class and about the fire station where Eddie worked. He mentioned a person named Buck quite a bit, he even referred to them as “my Buck” which was adorable. You just assumed it was one of Eddie’s friends that they were close with. Eddie finally finished his conversation and got in the truck. “Who’s that?” you look over at your brother, he already knows why you’re asking him. “Shut up. It's Chris’s teacher, don't be weird.” Eddie tells you while giving you a warning look.

“Auntie?” Chris calls for you from the backseat, you turn to look at the boy in the back.

“What’s up ?”

“How long are you going to stay with us ?”

“I won’t be leaving anytime soon if that’s what you're wondering”

“Oh great” Eddie mumbled, you shot him a glare before giving his shoulder a little shove which earned you a giggle from Chris.

----

Eddie was in Chris’s bedroom with him, they were trying to set up some video game thing he had. You didn’t want any part in Eddie and his grumbling while fixing it so you were in the kitchen making dinner for them. The doorbell rang while you were chopping the onions, you put the knife down and walked the entryway.

A tall, blond man stood at the door. He was wearing a burgundy shirt and a pair of jeans. You took a moment to really look him over, blonde hair, blue eyes, undeniably built like greek god under those clothes, which you could already tell from his broad shoulders and his stance.

You were leaning on the door when his voice broke your thoughts. “Hi, who are you ?” he asked you.

“I could ask you the same thing.”

“I’m Buck, Eddie’s friend from work”

Your conversation with Chris ringing in your head, you nodded. “Chris’s Buck, right ? Nice to put a face with the name.” you stepped back from the door, “Come in, shut the door behind you. Oh shoes off please” you tell him before returning to your spot in the kitchen. Buck followed your instructions and then your steps to the kitchen.

“Still haven't told me your name” he leaned against the counter, watching you from his spot

“I’m y/n, Eddie’s in Chris’s room if you want to go see them” you tell him, your eyes now on the pot in front of you.

There’s some shuffling behind you and his footsteps start becoming distant but then, they return. Glancing over your shoulder, Buck stood by the doorway.

“That’s my shirt by the way”

Looking down, you now realize the shirt read PennU on the front and Eddie most definitely did not go to the University of Pennsylvania.

“You went to Penn U?”

“Oh, no” he laughed, “Got it at some college fair in high school. Looks good on you though” he flashed you a smile before heading down the hallway to find Chris and Eddie. The heat on your cheeks was chalked up to the steam from the pot in front of you but deep down, you knew Buck caused that blush. Dinner didn’t take long to make, the sound of the boys shouting caught your attention. Following the sound to Chris’s room, Eddie and Chris sat on the bed and Buck sat on the floor, his head resting against Chris’s leg.

“Come on!” Buck shouted, Chris laughed. “I’m beating you!” the boy laughed again. The 3 of them seemed close, almost like a family, the sight of them made your heart swell and brought a smile to your face. Eddie noticed you standing by the door, he mentioned that he’d be right back and stepped out into the hallway with you.

“I’m sorry. I forgot to text him and tell him not to come over” Eddie says quietly, looking back over at Chris and Buck who were playfully bickering.

“Eddie, this is your place, you can have people over without worrying about me” you tell him before stepping past him and back into the room. “Dinner’s ready boys”

“What did you make ?” Chris asks, his eyes still on the screen.

“Your favourite”

Chris dropped the controller on Buck’s lap when he stood up. Chris grabbed your hand and the two of you walked to the kitchen together. Buck looked over at Eddie, “who is she ?” he turned off the game, putting the controllers back in their original spot.

“My sister, she didn’t introduce herself ?”

“She only told me her name after staring at me for a few minutes by the front door” Buck laughed, Eddie shook his head, a smile on his face. “Yeah, she’s staying with me for a bit”

“You never mentioned her” The two men make their way to the kitchen. “Yeah, she does her own thing. She lived in Virginia but she got in this morning after she ended things with her boyfriend” Eddie explained to him, Buck nodded.

--

Dinner was nice, it was nice to be back with Eddie and Chris. Buck was wonderful, he seemed to really like Chris and Eddie, care about them too. Eddie was helping Chris get ready for bed, leaving you and Buck alone in the kitchen.

“Eddie’s sister huh ? How was growing up with him ?”

“A pain in the ass, he had my back though, always did”

“Eddie told me why you came to LA”

“And what did he say?”

“You broke up with your boyfriend”

“Did he tell you why I broke up with him?”

“Yeah, he was an ass and not worthy of you” Buck joked which made you smile.

“Eddie thinks all my boyfriends aren't worthy of me” you roll your eyes. “He cheated”

Buck’s mouth hung open slightly, “he- he cheated ? On you ? Is he crazy?”

“Crazy ? No. Stupid ? Kinda. Why do you seem so surprised?”

“How would be stupid enough to cheat on a beautiful woman like you ?”

Once again, the blush returned. You shrugged and leant back into the chair. Buck sat across from you, his eyes on you. His eyes would have burnt a hole in you from how long he was looking at you, you weren't sure if he didn’t notice you watching him watching you but he only stopped when Eddie returned to the kitchen.

“Are y’all just sitting here staring at each other?” Eddie gave the two of you a weird look.

“No you ass, Buck was watching me” you inform your brother who was halfway into the fridge right now.

“Wha- no, I wasn't. Y/n!” Buck looked at you, rather unamused which made you laugh. Eddie handed Buck a beer and sat down at the other chair. “I think I'm going to go unpack.” You excuse yourself from the men and walk to the guest room, which was now yours for the time being. The suitcases were by the bed, starting with the one on the left, you pulled out some clothes and hung them in the closet. There was a dark green sweater buried under some other clothes that you knew wasn’t yours but must have gotten pulled in during the packing, if you could even call it that.

Luke’s green sweater.

It was the first thing of his that he left at your place when the two of you began dating. The colour had faded over time from the wash and wear but you still loved it. Eddie knocked on the door, interrupting the moment you were having in your head.

“Buck’s leaving. If you want to say bye.”

Buck stood by the front door, Eddie gave him a pat on the shoulder and passed you on his way down the hallway. Once again, he had left you with Buck. “Hi” Buck flashed you a smile again.

“Hey, let me walk you out ?”

“I’m right in the driveway” he chuckled

“It’s fine, I need the air”

The two of you stepped out, pulling the door shut behind you. “Sorry about your shirt by the way. I found it in Eddie’s bedroom” you mumbled, Buck leant against the side of the jeep. “It's cool. We were baking with Chris at my place and we got batter everywhere so he changed. Guess he didn’t bring it back” he chuckled.

“I could wash it and get it back to you, if you want ?”

“No, it's fine. It looks better on you than it did Eddie or me”

You were thankful for the wind that blew through the yard at that moment, the coolness hitting your face, the blush that Buck caused once again, died before it hit your cheeks.

“I want-” “I hope this-” both speaking at the same time, cutting each other off. “You first” you smiled at him, he shuffled on his feet for a moment before looking at you.

“I hope this isn't too forward of me- actually I don't care if it is,” he let out an awkward chuckle. “You just got out of a relationship and I- I would understand if you need time so it's alright if you say no, but uh- maybe you’d want to grab dinner with me sometime ?”

You didn’t answer him right away, you needed a second to process what just happened. “oh uh- it’s okay. I get it. I’m sor-”

“Oh my god, no! wait- I didn’t mean no. I’d love to get dinner with you Buck.”

He grinned, “really ?”

“Yeah, just let me know when”

“Friday at 8?”

“Okay”

The two of you were grinning like children sharing secrets, looking back at each other as you both went your own ways. You walked towards the door, Buck getting in the jeep. You found yourself leaning back against the door, watching as Buck pulled out of the driveway. Eddie opened the door from inside, you fell into the house when he opened the door.

“What the hell man!” you groaned, rubbing your back. Eddie held back a laugh as he helped you up. “Sorry, I thought maybe you and Buck had run away together. I had to check.”

“Why would you think that ?”

“Because he asked my permission to ask you out to dinner”

“Oh”

“Did he ask you ?”

“Friday at 8 so you need to drive me to go get something to wear tomorrow.” You patted Eddie’s shoulder as you walked past him into the house.

*A Few Months Later*

The dinner date had led to a beach date which then led to a movie date which ended with you spending the night at Buck’s place and the next morning he asked you to be his girlfriend. The two of you were in a happy committed relationship. You had met his sister, Maddie, who was a literal angel on earth. She was dating Chimney, who was also a firefighter but more of a paramedic to tell you the truth. He was best friends with Hen who was married to Karen, and the two of them were wonderful and had two beautiful children together. Hen was also best friends with Athena, she’s a sergeant with the LAPD. She also happened to be married to Bobby, captain of the 118. Soon enough you had met the entire 118, everyone who was a part of it and the extended family as well. You were now also a part of that family, as Eddie’s sister and Buck’s girlfriend.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Athena roped you into making dinner for the team. It was just the two of you in the station as the team was out on the call. There was a factory fire downtown so everyone that was on duty had gone on the call. “How are things with you and Buck?” Athena asks, stirring the pot, literally and metaphorically.

“Things are good”

“He's treating you right ?”

“He is”

“Good, that’s what I like to hear” she gave you a smile, you gave her one back. “How are things with you and dad?” you asked, Athena looked over at you.

“Dad?” she questioned. “Buck calls you and Bobby his parents, he says he means it as a joke but he doesn’t. He really does look at y’all like his parents.” you say, she nodded a little chuckle slipping past her lips.

“We’re good too. House has been empty lately, May’s busy with school and Harry’s staying with Micheal”

“Oh that’s good then, that gives y’all plenty of time to-” Athena cut your sentence short.

“Don’t you even think about finishing that sentence” pointing a finger at you, you giggle and raise your hands.

“Sorry sergeant”

“Get your ass back to work” she laughed. You turn to the fridge to get the milk, there was an empty spot on the shelf. “Did I bring in the cheesecake with me?” you turn to her and she shakes her head. “I didn’t see it” you then realized, you left it in the car. “oh crap, it’s in the car.” sprinting down the stairs, you shout that you’d be back in a minute and you bolt to the car, hoping that it hadn't melted by now.

Upon returning, there was a black SUV parked in front of the station. As you walked up the stairs, two men stood by the counter where Athena was. The men had their backs to you but you felt like you knew them. Stopping once you get to the top of the stairs, you look them up and down. The man to the left had shoulder length brown curly hair, he wore a blue shirt and a pair of dress pants. The other man had dark brown hair, which was curly and shorter than the other guy. The man with the short hair wore a green shirt and jeans.

“Everything okay Athena ?” you ask, walking past the men to the fridge. “Oh yeah, these two are just asking about a case I worked on a few days ago” she says, you shut the fridge door and turn towards her.

Luke and Spencer stood there, in the flesh, breathing, alive, in front of you.

You had left for a fresh start, to get away from him and the memories attached to him.

Athena realized both you and Luke had matching expressions on your face, pale, like you had seen a ghost. Spencer, who was beside Luke, kept looking at you and then back at Luke.

“Am I missing something here?” Athena breaks the tension in the room.

“Uh, that’s Luke and Spencer. I knew them when I lived in Virginia.”

Athena gives you a look, she could sense that you didn’t really want to talk about it. She gave your hand a squeeze.

“Hi y/n” Spencer smiled at you, you gave him a smile back, after all, Spencer did nothing to you. “Hey Spence, how are you?”

“I’m good, thanks for asking.”

Before Luke could say anything, the horn of the truck startled both of you. The collective sound of doors opening and shutting, along with chatter and boots thudding across the floors filled the station.

Thank God they were back.

“Hey,” Bobby smiled at Athena as he came up the stairs, making his way over to his wife, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Soon enough, the rest of the team joined in the kitchen. “Hey baby” Buck pulled you into his side, you gave him a smile. “Hey,” you wiped at his cheek, there some left over residue by his nose.

“Who are they ?” he nodded towards Luke and Spencer who were talking to Athena. “FBI agents, they investigate some case Athena worked on.” Eddie’s head perked up at the mention of FBI agents. He looked over at you, you caught his look and slightly nodded. He turned his attention towards the two men.

“Thank you for your time Sergeant Grant” Luke shook her hand, “of course” she smiled at him.

“Hey! Why don't you two join us for dinner?” Bobby asked the men from the kitchen. You internally groaned, Eddie once again, looked over at you. “It's alright. We couldn’t impose on you guys like that” Luke said to Bobby but his eyes were on you.

“Yeah cap, I’m sure they're busy people” Eddie spoke up, hoping cap would listen to him and let them leave. Spencer could sense how awkward it was about to get but Bobby insisted, mostly because he wanted to hear what they were talking to Athena about. After some persuading, the men gave in and stayed for dinner but that doesn’t mean it wasn't awkward as hell. It was mostly Bobby and Athena talking to Spencer and Luke, the rest of the table either listened or were having their own conversations amongst themselves.

Chim had to go and ask the question you were dreading. “Do you and y/n know each other ?” he asked, looking over at Luke. Both you and Athena look at each other and then at Chim, who was oblivious to what he had done.

“Who says we know each other ?” Luke asked, Chim shrugged. “No one said you did, just seemed like you did. I mean you guys keep looking at each other” he said, his mouthful. Eddie sat across from Chim with his chin resting on his hand whilst he gave Chim a glare. An “ow!” followed by a groan left his mouth a few seconds later.

Oh if looks could kill.

The table went silent, the entire station was quiet and you really didn’t want to look up but you could feel the eyes on you. “Babe?” Buck called, you turned to him. “Yeah?”

“Do you know him ?”

“Mhm hm”

Once again, eyes shifted from Luke to you. They were all waiting for an answer, well except for Eddie who had already known and Athena who could tell by your reaction earlier how you knew Luke.

“Y/n and I are- were friends back in Virginia.” Luke says, the attention of the table shifting back towards him. You can’t help but laugh and now eyes were back on you. Picking up your plate, you set it in the sink before getting the cheesecake from the fridge.

“Just friends Luke ? Ashamed to tell them how you really knew me ?” You stood at the end of the table, Eddie looked up at you from his seat. His hand reached for your wrist, giving it a little squeeze. His way of saying don’t do this.

Luke didn’t say anything, he had a habit of doing that. “Captain Nash, Sergeant Grant, thank you for dinner. It was wonderful.” Spencer smiles at them before getting up, he patted Luke’s shoulder, a signal for him to get up and get the hell out.

“I’m sure you’re all wondering how Luke and I know each other,” you begin, Buck looked over at you as you set the cheesecake down on the table.

“Y/n, don’t” your brother warned you, he knew once you started, you wouldn't stop and this wasn’t going to end well.

“We’ve got to go, can't we do this another time?” Spencer asks- more like pleads, but you shake your head. “You can tell Prentiss I was the reason you were late. Luke might have been too ashamed to tell y’all why I upped and left but I think it’s time someone knows that their perfect agent Alvez isn't so perfect.”

Eddie stood, his hand on your shoulder. “Seriously, let it go. I’ll take you home”

Pushing his hand off your shoulder, you turn towards the table. “As you all know, I just kinda appeared in Eddie’s life outta nowhere. It’s cause this guy,” you point at Luke, “who I thought loved me and wasn’t stupid enough to hurt me, did in fact, hurt me. Cheated on me with some chick named Lisa who he’s not even with.”

“Who says I’m not with her?” Luke mumbles making you scoff. “Did you really think Penelope wouldn't keep me updated on everyone ? Including you unfortunately.”

Once again, the station was quiet.

All eyes were on you and Luke.

“You act like you’re a saint y/n, like you’ve never done wrong.” he spat, his voice laced with anger.

“Not saying I haven't” his comment making you roll your eyes.

“You were never there for me.” Luke stated, lying straight through his teeth.

“Are you fucking kidding me?! I was there for you every single step of the way. I loved you and supported you through everything. I stayed up nights worrying about you because I hadn't heard from you or I would change your bandages after you get your ass kicked and you come home in the middle of the fucking night!” you shouted at him.

“Yeah but you-” Eddie steps in front of you, cutting off Luke’s sentence. “I think it’s time for you to go” his arms fold in front of him. Luke rolls his eyes, “and who are you ?” his chest puffed like he was trying to prove something to Eddie, like he was the alpha.

Buck answered for Eddie, “that’s her brother and I’m her boyfriend, you know the guy that’s supposed to treat her right, the guy you aren’t.” he flashed Luke a smile. “And I suggest you get the hell out of our station.”

Spencer tugged on Luke’s arm, he was so over today. He just wanted to leave and save himself a write up of why Luke got his ass kicked by two firefighters. “Sorry for the trouble” Spencer says as he drags Luke down the stairs of the station. The theme for the night seemed to be if looks could kill as everyone’s eyes were back on you, Buck and Eddie were still in front of you and pushed them aside.

Picking up the knife from the table, you cut a slice of the cheesecake “dessert anyone ?”

----

There was most definitely some explaining to do, which the team said really wasn't necessary but you felt like you should explain yourself and you did. Now you were sitting on Buck’s couch, watching a movie while he was in the shower. Your phone chimes, you leant over and pick it up.

From Bobby: Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for dinner. Had I known there was history between the two of you, I wouldn't have asked them to stay.

To Bobby: Hey, thank you but you don’t need to apologize. If anything, I should be the one apologizing. I didn’t mean to blow up and ruin dinner like that

From Bobby: It’s fine, we understand and we’re all on your side. Not to overstep but I hope everything is okay between you and Buck, he seemed a little on edge when you guys left

To Bobby: We’re good. Go have a nice night with your wife, I'll send Buck to you in one piece tomorrow morning.

Buck came down, “why are you smiling at your phone ?” he sat beside you, shifting so now he was laying on the couch. His head rested on your lap as you ran your fingers through his hair. “Just texting Bobby, he wanted to see if I was okay.” Buck hums, his eyes on the tv. He didn’t ask you about what happened at the station, he listened when you explained what happened between you and Luke to the team and that was it. On the way home, you did mention that if he had questions, he could ask because you rather tell him than have things be weird. Buck didn’t need to ask anything, the way you spoke to Luke showed him that there was no reason to even wonder about if something was still going on there.

The relationship the two of you had was intact, you were both happy and in love.

----

At some point in the night you must have fallen asleep on the couch and Buck carried you up to bed. It was almost 1 in the afternoon when you woke to the sound of your phone ringing. Buck had a 6am shift so he was long gone but you assumed he was calling to check in on you.

“Hey” you answer, rolling onto your back.

“Hi” Luke’s voice rang from the other end of the call.

90% wanted to hang up on him but 10% wanted to know why the hell he was calling you.

“How’d you get my number r? I changed it.”

“From Penelope. Did I wake you ?”

“Since when did you care? What do you want ?” you spat at him once again, seems all the conversations you have end with you being angry and Luke being stupid.

“I wanted to apologize ?”

“For what part ?”

“All of it. I know things ended poorly between us and I never forgave myself for that. I cheated and that was wrong of me but I shouldn't have let you walk out on me, well I should but I assumed you would have come back”

“To let you humiliate me all over again? To be the stupid girl that took you back after you cheated ? No, I wasn't coming back, ever.”

“I understand that but I still want you y/n. I need you in my life, things aren't right without you.” Luke sounded genuine and you knew he was but you weren't going to let him back into your life just like that.

“Maybe you should have thought about that before you cheated.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I don't want your sorry Luke. It doesn’t change anything. I know my worth, I’m happy where I am now. I'm in love with Buck. He makes me happy and he treats me right. I can't forgive you for what you did Luke. Good luck on your case” Luke was still speaking when you hung up. You were satisfied, you had told him what you wanted to tell him. He caused that on himself and what you said was true. You were happy and in love with Buck, you’re in a good place, you didn’t need drama or pain right now.

Seeing that it was only 1:30 now, you had some time to kill before you picked up Chris from school. You took a shower and tidied up a bit and headed out to get your favourite little guy. Eddie had said for the two of you to go straight to his place after you picked Chris up but since when did you listen to Eddie.

Chris held your hand as the two of you walked in together. “Cap, we've got visitors!” Buck called from the baloney, Bobby rolled his eyes playfully. “I see them Buck,” Bobby made his way over to you and Chris.

“I think your dad is outside washing the car, how about we go find him ?” Bobby picked up Chris, “can I?” Chris looked over at you.

“Of course my love, tell dad I said hi and make sure he knows I didn’t leave you unsupervised!” you shout to them as Bobby walks outside with Chris. Buck was jogging down the stairs towards you and he almost slipped and a little giggle slipped past your lips.

“Are you laughing at me?” He asked as he walked over to you. His arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you close to him. “No, I'm not.” you smiled at him, your arms over his shoulder now, your hand coming to the back of his head and playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

“I love you, you know that right ?” you ask him, he gives you a smile.

“I know, I love you too” he leant in to give you a kiss but right as his lips touched yours, the two of you were getting sprayed by water. Eddie stood with Chris as they held the gardening hose. You let go of Buck to go give Chris and Eddie a hug, therefore getting the two of them wet too. Buck came running over, “group hug!” he shouted as he wrapped his arms around you and Chris.

This was your happy place, they were your family.
