Isaac wakes up kind of grogie but thats nothing new for him, he cant really remember when the last time was when he woke up and thought, wow let a new day begin, he pulls one eye open and doesn't see his grey bedroom walls like he expected instead he he finds the open room from fire station and everything comes back to him, he shortly wonders where buck is when he doesn't sees him next to him but the question is answered when his brother walks out from the kitchen. "Hey your awake sleeping beauty?" Buck jokes and Isaac just stares at him for a second, his mind still half asleep, "how long was i out?" He ask with a raspy voice. Buck chuckels and moves to sit next to Isaac who sat up in the meantime. "Around three hours, we even had an emergency but you didn't even woke up when the siren went on.". That is something new to him, most of the time he wakes up from every little sound someone makes. "Huh, i guess i was really tired" isaac answers. "Yeah you had an exhausting day" buck confirms . "By the way my shift is nearly over so". Isaac nods sooner or later he would have to face his parents he just wants to get it over with. " yeah i guessed, i will grab my back" Isaac says and stands up his legs working again the sleep really did helped.

Walking in the kitchen he sees Bobby standing there with a glass of water. "Hey kid" the man greets and Isaac puts his hand up as greeting while walking to his backpack. " i assume your heading home?" Bobby ask and Isaac nods "yeah buck drives me when he finished changing." Piking up his backpack he looks to the captain "thanks for letting me stay here for the day" he says because he damn knows how to be polite against the thought of most people who know him.
"Hey its no problem and your always welcome here. And i mean it. " he says and gives Isaac a look "thanks " the boy answers with a small smile " and i put some of your Cookies in your backpack after all you made them."
With a smile Isaac says goodbye to the captain and starts to walk downstairs to meet buck who already waits for him there.

"Got everything ?" "Yeah, but we still have to get my bike you know." "Lead the way" with that Isaac began to walk to where he parked his bike and buck effortlessly heaves the bike on the truck and gives Isaac a stink eye when he trys to help. Both buckles climb into the truck before Buck begins the drive to their parents house.. "So how do you like the rest?" Buck ask the teenager who was starring out of the window. "Mm?" Isaac startles and looks over to buck "oh yeah their nice, they are good people i can understand why your so happy with your job now" that lets buck chuckle "yeah their are really great" buck confirms "i mean i already knew chim but the others are also cool and i got to make cookies so that also a big plus." And he really means it, he can see the smile and relief on bucks face and wonders if his brother maybe also was nervous for him to meet the people that are dear to him. " so you like baking?" Buck asks.
"Yeah, like im not really good at it but its cool creating something and to eat it later" Isaac explains, also then he can also eat it without feeling guilty that somebody else worked hard for it. Buck nods next to him " what do you say we meet every other weekend when i don't have shift and i teach you a new recepie?" A smile breaks out on Isaacs face "really you mean it?"
"Yeah, you and me and maybe Maddie if she wants , i mean im not as good as Bobby but im still pretty good."
"I would like that." Isaac answers but then his good mood had to be ruined when their street came into view.

"You know i didn't tell them that i am bi" he whispers and buck is quite for a moment before he answers "and you dont have to if you dont want to." Isaac sighs "i mean yeah theoretically i know that but what if when the school told them why i was in a fight? " as buck parked the car he looked over to him "relax Isaac when they called they said nothing about it so i don't believe they know and secondly even when they probably wouldn't like it but I don't think they would do anything about it. And come on you should go into your bed and get some rest these injuries aren't a joke ." With that buck opens his door and exited the car. Just for a moment Isaac let his head fall against the back of his seat and stared at the roof of the car wishing it was this simple but because life isn't his door Opend and Buck nudged him "hey you potato sack asleep already?" Groaning Isaac stands up his whole body still hurting. Together they walk to the front door ringing the bell. Not a few seconds later their mother opens the door " oh hello" she says not quite happy probably something to do with their whole conversation on the phone but she lets the two inn.

Buck who had Isaacs bike leand it against the wall and greeted their mother with a tight smile while Isaac just walked through ignoring her as best as possible. "You know you at least could greet your mother" his father sais who just walked out of the kitchen. Not really motivated Isaac grunts out "hello" he trys to walk to the stairs in hope of escaping the talk with his parents that sooner or later would happen but still he would rather have it when buck wasn't with him to witness it. "Where do you think your going Isaac?" His mother ask and Isaac standing on the stairs sighs quietly so much for his hopes with that he walks down again and into the dining room that is directly across the stairs, he sits down at his place on the long wooden table and waits for their parents to make their move. Looking up when he hears them enter he also sees buck awkwardly standing in the threshold of the door. This is going to be so much fun Isaac thinks sarcastically.

"So want to tell us what happened?" His mother ask in her sweet sickening voice as she sits down across from him. Having three pair of eyes watching him uneases him. Under the table his fingers tap against his leg 1,2,3,4 ".... i had an argument with one of my classmates " he explained in an even tone 1,2,3,4. the faces of their parents are as disappointed as always looking like he was the bain of their existence really he wonders sometimes why they even got children when clearly they don't like them.

"And you couldn't just talk it out with them you had to start a fight so typical of you" his mother mutters angry and looks to his father. Isaac looks at buck who seems to want to say something but he subtly shakes his head its better this way let them think he is an asshole he can live with that but not if they find out he doesn't even want to think about what they might do. "Where really disappointed in you Isaac, because now we have to go to your school for an parents conference with your principal and we don't have time for this!" His father says and his voice is oddly levelled. Ah they try to be civil with Buck still being here otherwise he knows they would be already screaming at him. " you will have house arrest for the next three weeks and we will confiscate your phone."
1,2,3,4.
His father holds his hand out expectingly, begrudgingly he hands over his phone these free weeks will be soo so boring. 1,2,3,4 " good and now go to your room" beeing finally dismissed he stands up and walks past the three of them not looking at Buck he just pushes past him and walks up the stairs. He opens his door and throws his black backpack against his bed closing his door he lets himself down on his chair at his desk and looks out of the window. The sun is setting casting his room in an orange light its kind of beautiful The plant that stands on his windshield looks half dead he probably has to water it again.

A few minutes later he hears a knock on his door. "Come in" he calls out and turns to face the door which is opened by Buck who looks like someone kicked his dog. " hey kid just wanted to say goodbye." Isaac just nods already expecting that. After a few seconds of silence where neither of them new what to say buck breaks the awkward silence "You drew that?" His brother ask and Isaac follows the hands where its point to the papers hanging around his desk. "Wow their really good" swallowing he nods slightly and whispers "thanks".

"And im sorry" Isaac looks asking at his brother "for what?" Buck Gestures to the door " for how they reacted, their main problem shouldn't be that they have to go to a meeting because of you but that your hurt" Isaac just shrugs not knowing what to say to that after that its just silent again between the two brothers . "Ok i have to go but if anything happen and i mean anything you can come to me or the firehouse ok?" Buck says in a stern but caring voice and kneels down to carefully hug his brother goodbye. Isaac melts into the hug. " ok and by the way im keeping this hoodie " Isaac answers hoping to lift the mood a little. Buck laughs so Isaac counts that as a win. " didn't expect anything else" with that Buck leaves Isaacs room who just stares at his wall wondering about life.
