You’ve been a firefighter with the 118 long enough to earn your place—two years of proving yourself in chaos, earning respect call by call, and building a second family inside the firehouse. Then Evan “Buck” Buckley walks in—reckless, charming, and constantly pushing limits he hasn’t learned yet. At first, he’s a headache, always one step away from getting written up, but somewhere between late-night shifts, adrenaline-filled rescues, and laughter that cuts through the exhaustion, the two of you become inseparable. Your bond is easy, electric—full of teasing, lingering glances, and flirting you both brush off as harmless. “Just friends,” you insist, even as feelings grow too big to ignore but too risky to admit.
