911: Eclipse of the Heart

Chapter 29 - Language

"Proud of you, Eddie." Hen said as Buck let Eddie out of the hug.

"Wait, did they all know?" Buck looked at Eddie.

"They did. All but Kymber figured it out on her own... The only reason Kymber didn't figure it out on her own was because she hadn't been here that long when they were talking about it." Eddie said.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Buck asked.

"Here's the thing, Buck. We all know you like girls, I mean that is very obvious... But I wasn't sure if you liked guys too... I was scared to put myself out there without knowing. I guess I just got to the point where I didn't want to hide it anymore." Eddie explained.

"Eddie, I have had a crush on you since the day you arrived here. I thought that you didn't like guys. That's why I kept going after girls, to get my mind off of you." Buck said, "But my mind never was able to get off of you."

"Ahem." Chimney cleared his throat, "Do you want us to leave?"

"Or you can take my office... Just don't touch my desk." Bobby raised an eyebrow at them.

"Are you sure we can take your office, cap?" Eddie looked at him.

"Like I said, as long as you don't touch my desk, and you know what I mean by that, it is fine." Bobby shrugged.

"Thanks, cap." Buck said as he and Eddie headed down to Bobby's office.

"You're worried they're gonna get it on on your desk, aren't you?" Kymber laughed as she turned to look at Bobby.

"I mean, hey, I've thought about it. I'm sure as soon as they get down there they will too." Bobby smirked.

"You've thought about what?" Kymber raised her eyebrows as she asked him.

"You know what I mean." Bobby smiled at her.

"Oh my god. Cap, with the TMI, stahp." Chimney stood up and made a face like he was going to throw up.

"With them both working here, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens at some point." Hen laughed as she turned to look at Chimney.

"Uh... No? No no no." Kymber blushed.

"Come on, you've got to admit that you've thought about it." Bobby looked at her.

"Just because someone thinks about something doesn't mean they're actually going to do it!" Kymber covered her face as it got hot.

"She definitely has." Hen smirked.

"Why must we always talk about this?" Kymber looked up.

"It's not like they don't know that we're doing it." Bobby laughed, "I mean, come on. We've lived together for a month now."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Kymber sighed.

"You better get used to it, Kymber. It's going to happen for the rest of your life." Hen smiled.

"Oh goodness." Kymber leaned back.

"Especially since you're dating the captain. That makes you guys an even better target to tease." Chimney said.

"He's not my captain, though. Hen is." Kymber said.

"Let's be real, Bobby is still the real captain. I'm just a back up so it doesn't look bad that you two are dating... How much has actually changed since I've been promoted to co-captain?" Hen asked.

"I guess that's fair." Kymber's face got red again.

"Bobby knew it was coming. We have always teased him." Chimney said.

"This is true. They've teased me since I first became their captain. Well, I guess not right away... But once they got to know me." Bobby smirked.

"It's how we show our love. Which is a good thing for you, Kymber. It shows that we care." Hen smiled.

"I'm glad." Kymber looked up, "I care about all of you, too... Does that mean that I should tease you guys?"

"Go for it. That's our love language in this station." Chimney laughed.

"We have a station love language?" Bobby looked over at him.

"I mean... Yeah... Just like you have love languages in dating relationships, you have them in working and friendship relationships, too... What's your love language?" Chimney asked Bobby and Kymber.

"Uhhh... I am honestly not sure. I'll have to think about it." Bobby said as he put his arm around Kymber's shoulder and smiled at her.
