Fuck it Friday

This is from my Tevan and Tarlos dad story, which also takes place in the Team Kinard universe. In this scene, the four dads are out on a double date while the 126 are babysitting Tommy and Buck's son Emmett and TK and Carlos' daughter Gabriella.
***
The two couples settled into their booth at the Tex-Mex restaurant, the aroma of spices and sizzling fajitas filling the air. After ordering their drinks and some appetizers, the conversation flowed easily.
"So, Tommy," TK asked, leaning forward slightly, "when did you know you were gay?"
Tommy thought for a moment before answering, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Well, I guess a part of me always knew, but I didn't really recognize it until freshman year of high school. I was on the baseball team and couldn't stop staring and thinking how good my teammates' asses looked in those tight baseball pants."
The table erupted in laughter, with Buck giving Tommy's hand a squeeze under the table.
"So you came out in high school?" Carlos asked, curious.
Tommy's expression sobered. "No, definitely not. I was closeted for almost 20 years after that. My dad was a massive homophobe and it wasn't safe for me to be gay in that environment. Then I was in the military during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, so I just became more and more miserable and closeted."
A moment of understanding silence fell over the table. TK and Carlos exchanged glances, recognizing the pain in Tommy's voice.
Buck, sensing Tommy's discomfort, spoke up. "But look at you now, babe. You're out, proud, and married to the hottest firefighter in LA." He winked, trying to lighten the mood.
Tommy chuckled, the tension easing from his shoulders. "Damn right, sweetheart."
TK smiled. "It's amazing how far we've all come, isn't it? I mean, look at us now - two queer couples on a double date, all of us in jobs we love, being who we are without hiding."
Carlos nodded in agreement. "It's not always easy, but it's worth it to live authentically."
As they savored their appetizers, Tommy turned to TK and Carlos. "What about you guys? How were your coming out experiences?"
TK grinned, setting down his fork. "Well, my story's probably not as dramatic as some. I grew up in Manhattan with very liberal parents. I was out and proud before I'd even had my Bar Mitzvah."
"Seriously?" Buck asked, eyebrows raised. "That young?"
TK nodded. "Yeah, I was lucky. My parents were incredibly supportive. Being gay was just... normal in our household. It was never a big deal."
All eyes then turned to Carlos, who took a sip of his drink before speaking. "My experience was... complicated. I came out when I was 17. My parents hugged me, and then... never mentioned it again."
The table quieted, sensing the weight of Carlos's words.
Carlos continued, "I ended up shoving myself back into the closet and even married my high school best friend." He paused, glancing at TK with a soft smile. "It wasn't until I started dating TK that I finally had a real conversation with my parents about it."
"How did that go?" Tommy asked gently.
"Better than I expected, actually," Carlos replied. "Everything's good now. My mom is great, and my dad... he had fully accepted me before he passed away. He was even supposed to be the best man at our wedding."
TK squeezed Carlos's hand supportively.
"I'm glad it worked out in the end," Buck said sincerely.
Tommy nodded in agreement. "To living our truths, whether we figured them out early or later in life," he said, raising his glass.
The others joined in the toast, the clink of their glasses punctuating the moment of shared understanding.

Summary:
Buck and Tommy are amazing dads as their son deals with discrimination. Excerpt: Emmett was 5 the first time it happened. The usually chatty kindergartner was uncharacteristically quiet on the ride home from school. Normally, he'd be eagerly sharing all the new things he'd learned, his excitement reminiscent of his daddy's enthusiasm. Buck glanced in the rearview mirror, concern etching his features as he noticed Emmett's subdued demeanor. "Hey E? Is everything okay?" Emmett's small voice was tinged with sadness as he responded, "I'm just sad. Katie said a mean thing at school." Tommy turned in his seat to face their son, his brow furrowed with worry. "What did she say, buddy?" Emmett's lip quivered slightly as he struggled with the unfamiliar word. "She said my family was broken and she said... what's a bomination, Papa?"

Summary:
The next part of my Team Kinard series. Baby sister makes 4 🙂 Excerpt: "How about something classic like Cornelia?" Tommy asked. "Veto," said Buck. "How about something funky like Helix?" Tommy stared at him incredulously. "You did not suggest naming our daughter Helix." "So veto?" Buck said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "So much veto," Tommy confirmed, shaking his head.
