Love At First Flight | Buddie + FireFly

~Buck's POV~

The plane was a bumpy ride today with a lot of turbulence. The turbulence is caused by storm clouds and it's similar to the feeling of when at the sea and waves are crashing in a storm. From Los Angeles to Portland today but a normal 2 hour flight ends up being a 4 hour flight with all the turbulence.

As I was passing out snacks I made it right by Eddie's row, again he was alone. The ding said put on seatbelts and I saw he was asleep. To be in a plane with turbulence and being asleep always surprised me. Yet here Eddie was fast asleep with head on the window. I took the aisle seat to keep my balance and lightly nudged him.
"Eddie?"
I saw him not budge and I shook again little harder.
"Eddie?!"
He sat up from window dropping his jacket that he had as a pillow on the window.
"Mmmhn? Oh hey Buck."
"Hi sleepy head.. uh we gotta put seat belts on. Lot of turbulence right now."
"Oh right thanks."
Eddie buckled in and I smiled and got up from the seat then went back to the aisle.
"Hey Buck."
I stopped and turned to face Eddie as he smiled.
"Never mind."
I lifted my left eyebrow up at his statement and looked at him confused.
"What's up?"
"Us in a plane."
I laughed and he smiled more and I saw him rub his neck.
"Yeah it's nothing sorry thanks.."
"Okay?"

I walked out of plane after we landed and took my small nap in the lounge. Then my alarm went off for another flight. I got my bag from the floor and walked to my gate.

Portland to Seattle was the new flight and luckily didn't have much turbulence. Yet Tommy was caption again and his co pilot I didn't recognize, Ryder was his name tag. When I went in to see if they needed anything I heard Tommy call him Judd.
"Wait so you have been with two people at once?"
Judd asked Tommy as I was passing out water to them. I almost dropped it instead of placing it in the cup holder at hearing Judd's question to Tommy. Tommy laughed and I looked up right when he glanced at me quickly before back to the sky.
"Yeah. It was in my early twenties.. I was trying things out. Yet at the end just left heart break both of the others involved stayed together and realized they didn't like having an extra in the bedroom."
"Aw man I'm sorry that sucks. I'm thankful for just the one too. My wife Grace. God I thank him everyday for her. Hope you find your person or people? Too Tommy."
"Eh maybe they closer then I think."
I felt my cheeks blush and I cleared my throat as I backed away from their seats.
"Uh sorry to interrupt but anything else?"
"No not right now.. but thank you Evan."
"No problem To..Caption Kinard."
I corrected myself saying his last name not first name. After all we were at work and couldn't say Tommy. Had to be professional with him, he's practically my boss.

After leaving the pilots cabin I walked back out to rest of the plane. I saw Hen and Chimney in the flight attendant area. Our plane was big enough we had a running bar in the back. Yet they were both at the flight attendant area holding out money to each other. Ah they are betting again.
"What is it now?"
I asked when I walked up to them and they smiled.
"Buckaroo join my side not Hen's."
I looked at Chimney confused and she shook her head and said.
"No I'm never wrong."
"What?"
Chimney couldn't keep secrets he spilled them so fast it was hard to keep this from him. The secret that on days off Tommy would teach me ways to please a man (and cuddle as we watched  Muay Thai but I said how do straight people see this and see it not gay? A lot of those same positions was what Tommy and I just did. Tommy said he he'll teach me a few moves.)
"There is two people missing in 30 B and 31 C.. so I'm saying they doing mile high club."
Chimney said and I knew my nose crinkled up. Sure I've done it in different places but never on an airplane and never would. Hen shook her head and said.
"No they are clearly just cleaning off their clothes since the turbulence from the last plane."
"But how do you know they were on that plane too?"
I asked and Chimney laughed.
"See even Buck agrees with me!"
"Aw come on that's not fair they look just like that couple we saw in the same exact seats!"
Hen said as I shook my head and backed away before I could get more involved into their bet. Yet the bathroom doors opened and both people about in their twenties walked out. The guy had messy hair and both of them had red cheeks.
