#17 “I’m telling you, I’m haunted.”
“I’m telling you Y/n, Halloween is the weirdest time of year.”
Buck complains, throwing random bags of candy in the cart. Sneaking a few in for himself when I wasn’t looking. To busy flipping through the costumes on the rack.
“Maybe so but, I think you’d look great in this.”
Barely hiding my smile at the deadpan look on Bucks face as he sees the cheesy firemen costume I was holding.
“That’s not even funny.” The look of annoyance quickly turning into a smirk.
“Why don’t you wear this?”
Countering my offer with a cliche angel outfit. Rolling my eyes as he laughs hysterically. “Honestly babe, you’re my angel even without a costume.” He says, wrapping his arms around me from behind trying to be cute. It’s sweet really, but wearing your 6ft boyfriend as a backpack through the store as he steers us to whatever catches his eye, isn’t as pleasant. “It’s only one day Buck, you can handle it.”
Today is the day, Halloween. The day kids get to stay up late, get more candy than they can eat, run around dressed as their favorite superhero or character. It’s also the day Buck is sure there’s something out to get him. It started with blood red water in his shower this morning, the scream he let out was loud enough to wake Y/n up in the next room.
Smoke suddenly appearing out from under the couple’s shared dresser. Then when he turned his Jeep on, scenes from horror movies blared from his speakers.
On their first call of the day at a haunted house where all the workers that weren’t aware of the emergency used Buck as practice and continued to jump out and scare him, one even complimented him on his firefighter costume. Poor guy only stopped shaking from either fear or rage, when we got back to the station to eat, being to busy talking to Eddie who was on the ladder to see where he was walking when Chimny yells out trough his laughter, already imagining his reaction.
“Hey Buck, don’t you know it’s bad luck to walk under a ladder!”
Looking from Chim then to the arial ladder that Eddie was on. Only now noticing he was standing under it. Almost tripping over his own feet as he jumps off to the side, nervously laughing.
“That, that doesn’t count right? Right Chim, Chimny!”
Chasing up the stairs after Chimny still calling his name. Eddie walks over to where you’re hiding behind the engine, watching it all unfold. “Don’t you think he’s been through enough?” eyebrow raised watching the chase going down in the fire house.
Smirking, thinking of all the plans you still have in mind. “Nope.”
It wasn’t until later that you almost started to feel guilty, almost, being the key word. Sure you planned most of the things today but not all the things that happened after, so you can’t really be blamed. “I can’t believe you almost ran over a cat.” Hen states, having seen the truck almost flip as Buck tried to dodge the cat, the black cat, that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
“After all the things that’s happened to me today I’m not risking it!” He snapped throwing his hands in the air, forgetting about the tool he held until it broke the mirror behind him. “No...” he breathed out looking as if he was in actual pain. Joining the rest of the crew when Boddy, put a hand on his shoulder feeling sorry for the younger man. Seeing the paramedics preforming CPR on the older owner of the house they got called too for a smoke detector check so the scene was a shock to the 118. After doing all they could to help, the medics call it. Going back to the ambo to call whoever they needed to call and getting the paperwork everyone had to fill out.
“Why are you in my house?” The firefighters practically jumping out of their skin when the presumed dead patient seems to be very much alive. Even Bobby lets out a startled gasp. The medics ran back into the house passing Buck who bailed to the front yard choosing to wait there then deal with the zombie. Pacing back and forth under the large tree in the yard, mumbling to himself that the day is almost over. Facing his coworkers when they come out of the house without bite marks as if the old woman was actually a zombie.
“It’s okay Bucks.” You cooed, actually seeing how tore up he was. The man ripping his jacket off before you can get closer to him.
“No! No it’s not, I told you I hated Halloween and you all laughed! Do you understand now!” His rant getting cut off as a giant snake falls from the tree into his shoulders. Yelping, flailing around enough that it falls to the ground.
“Oh that’s where that went.” The old woman croaks as she got pushed by the medic on the cot, seeing the fake snake on the ground. Not knowing it almost gave Evan a heart attack.
“Guys, I’m telling you, I’m haunted!”
“You’re not haunted Buck, it was Y/n.”
Captain Nash says, ratting you out to your boyfriend and the few people that didn’t know.
“What? No way.” He almost screams still wound up from the previous scare. “What about the haunted house that was a real call.” He asked when you sheepishly shook your head, confirming what Cap said.
“I recognized the address and called ahead I offered them 50 bucks to scare you.”
“The smoke and the shower this morning?”
“Put red dye in the shower head and dry ice under the dresser.” Chim not being able to hold in his laughs any longer. “I’m just going to say it. This is amazing!” Chimny being ignored as Buck continues asking questions.
“How’d you pull that off?” Pointing back to the house we just walked out of.
And it’s true it wasn’t, no matter how amazing that would make this story sound later on when I tell his sister and Athena, at our weekly girls night.
Not being able to help himself from asking why his loving girlfriend of almost three years would go through all this just to torture him, he didn’t remember pissing her off lately, not enough for this anyway.
“Remember last year, when you put red hair dye in my shampoo and everyone called me hot head for a month.”
Oh, yeah, he did do that.
“If it makes you feel better, you did the worst things to yourself.”
You continued when he stares blankly at your face. Suddenly lunging at you, not having enough time to run away before he throws you over his shoulder.
“Even though i was terrified all day, that was good, just know I’m going get you back.”
“What if I wear that angel costume you picked out tomorrow night?”
“In that case all is forgiven.”
Setting you back on your feet next to the engine, giving him your best puppy dog eyes hoping he wasn’t to mad.
“I love you too my little devil.”
“I thought I was your angel?”
“Apparently not on Halloween.”
Ruffling your hair before walking back to the truck. Eddie jumping in the drives seat just to make sure a kitten doesn’t cause a wreck back to the station.
