(firefighter AU)

Karl and Sapnap worked together every day at their station. Everyone knew Sapnap as the little playboy. On every call we made he would get hit on by some girl. Of course he had to be professional and he never called the numbers they have him. At least that is what everyone thought. The real reason he doesn't call them is because he simply doesn't like women. He hasn't told anyone in their station yet. He thought it was hard to come out. In highschool when he came out and some how some way the word got out. Every time he went into the locker rooms i would instantly get quiet because the other boys didn't want Sap to see them change. So he moved to a whole different city and got a fresh new start. His parents didn't want him to go to fire academy. They wanted him to be a doctor like them, and they new firefighters didn't make that much money. Sap has to admit he came up in a rich family. Everyone in it was doctors, surgeons, etc. When he told his parents he wanted to be a firefighter they didn't like him risking his like everyday, at least more than a human being needs too. And how his parents reacted to a simple job change, there was no way he was going to come out to them.

Karl was the opposite. In his family he didn't have enough money, him having 5 siblings in a 3 bedroom house didn't help. His family had a little money on average they were just below class middle class. He didn't have a phone until he was 16, but he only got that by working for 3 months. He knew when he was younger that he wanted to help people but not like a doctor. He wanted to do something exiting, now he knew that being a doctor was exiting but not as exiting as a firefighter. He was always interested in fire trucks. The way when he knew sirens were coming he would pray for them, they way when one came around everyone would move out of the way. He was the middle child. He had a big family so his parents were always working or worrying about any other kid except him. He has a twin sister, she was the only one who understood him. She was the first person that he told was gay, but to fair she was the only one who listened. He never had time with his parents alone so he talked to his older siblings who would drive to school. So when he found out the fire academy was cheap he had nothing pulling him back. He wanted to stay with his family but he relished that everyone in his family got older and moved on with their life, not like his parents would notice he was gone. So he moved from North Carolina to Florida, and he took his 7 months of school.Boom he was a firefighter. But he was new, the probie and he was afraid of change. He was told that the people he worked with would be like family, but Karl never had a decent one in the first place.

Sapnap and Karl had been working with each other for only a couple weeks. Sapnap the lieutenant and Karl a probie. The whole crew was eating in the kitchen making breakfast getting ready for their 24 hour shift. Karl sat down quietly in his seat, "Hey probie why you always so quiet?" Sapnap asked. Karl shrugged. "Well you need to stop that. In the field we need you to communicate with your team you can be putting life's in danger." He said while pouring coffee. "I'm sorry sir." Karl said. "Hey remember its like a family call me Sapnap." Sap said. Karl always had a lot on his mind. He was more of a thinker rather than a talker, which he knew was bad for the job but it was the way he grew up. 

All of a sudden a a large bell went off, and everyone started rushing out their seats. They got to the truck barn and put on their full outfits. They all got into the truck and started moving,"Alright guys a structure fire, dispatch says there was no one inside, so lets go quick and easy." Sapnap explained who by the way was right next to him. Karl always had a little crush on Sapnap, but knowing Sapnaps playboy title, he was definitely not going to shoot his shot at least first. They made it to the house and Karl noticed it was a nice house at least for him. The crew rushed out the truck, "Uh Miller and Jacobs grab the hose, come on probie let me see what you can do!"Sapnap said. "Got it!" Miller said. She nodded me on the arm,"Oh uh Got it." They took out the fire in about 20 minutes and went back to the station.

Miller, or Hannah, was Karls best friend. She is the only one who Karl trusted enough for anything. "Dude Sapnap is going to kill you if you ignore what you told him this morning." She said. "Its not like I am trying to! I am more of a thinker than a talker." He said. "Well you better try you can't keep being quite you know-" she started. "Yeah I know I'm trying really." Then thgere was a knock on the door,"Hey uh , the lieutenant wants to talk to you in his office." Karl nodded okay.

(Karl POV)

I made my way to my lieutenant's office, aka my  crush.  I knocked on the door when I heard a faded okay from the other side of the door. I walked, "I heard you wanted to see me?" I said quietly. "Well first you need to speak up when your talking. But I really wanted to talk to you about your communication. Your an amazing firefighter but way to quiet. If you don't talk I will have to send you back to the academy in a speaking and social class." He explained. I didn't know that not speaking that much was going to do this. "I'm sorry I will try harder to do better." I said. "You know what sit down." He said. I sat down. "I'm sorry Jacobs, I really don't like this but that's the rules" I nodded. "Hey look maybe this will help, when ever you just hear my voice look at me, I don't even have to be talking to you. And if I am asking a question then look at my eyes and try to respond verbally. okay?" He said. I nodded, he tilted his head, "I mean yes, I will try to respond." I said.He reached his hand out I held his hand over the table and I felt my cheeks getting red." You know what, tell me about yourself. It will help you with your communication" He said still holding my hand. "I-I uh." I stuttered. He looked at me. "I grew up in North Carolina in a big family, so my voice got ignored much. So I guess I just got quiet you know? Why fight for attention when you are doing well on your own. Well I wasn't on my own all the time, I had my twin sister. She was my everything. I actually was supposed to stay in North Carolina just because I wanted to stay with her, but she cut everyone off once she got a new husband. She lived her live so I moved here in Florida fresh new start.I mean firefighting is what I wanted to do and it was cheap so here I was." I said. He looked at me, "Sorry I said to much-". "No, that is the most I have ever heard you talk. I'm sorry that's what happened to you." He said. I nodded an it okay.He looked at me again,"I mean its okay." I said.I looked down at our hands which were still intertwined. He then came over to my side of the desk. "Hey I get it you are just a non verbal person, so you can talk to me to fix that." He said. I nodded. He laughed again and I laughed with him. "We are going to have to glue your head in place to get you to stop nodding" he laughed but intertwined our fingers again. I looked into his eyes, I wanted to kiss him so bad.Before I knew it he started leaning in closer and closer and connected our lips. 

The kiss was amazing, I didn't even know he liked guys let alone me. The kiss then got deeper and he put his hands on my waist and I put mine on his neck.He then grabbed me by my waist and put me on his lap. We continued to make out and then he started kissing my jaw. I moved my head to the side so he could get better access. I slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Then we heard the alarm go off. We broke apart and I smiled. I got up from his lap and ran to the trucks and put on my bunker pants and saw him running in fixing his collar. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I got in the car and Miller sat next to me, "Why are you smiling so much it looks like you just kissed your crush or something." She said joking. "Well maybe I just did." I said smiling.
