#14 with Buck or Eddie please!!!
Prompt request: #14 - “They’re so cute when they’re asleep.”
A/N: Most of you will probably read the prompt and think kids, but that is NOT the direction I took this in. Enjoy! Requests are open!
You had a terrible habit of rubbing your face as soon as you woke up. Clearly Buck knew that very well, for you currently found yourself with your face and both hands covered in whipped cream. You had unknowingly rubbed whipped cream all over your face and boy, were you mad.
“Evan Buckley!” you shouted.
“Yes darling?” Buck’s head appeared in the doorway of your shared bedroom. “Oh dear. You seem to have something on your face.”
He faked confusion as you glared daggers at him. “You are so going to pay for this.”
He couldn’t hold a straight face any longer and dissolved into laughter. “Oh, I look forward to it.”
He tossed a towel at you, still laughing. As you wiped your face you let him laugh, knowing he was completely unaware that there was a surprise waiting for him in the kitchen. You had swapped all the sugar in the jar for salt. His coffee would have a very different taste that morning.
You and Buck were currently locked in an intense prank war, one that didn’t look like it would be ending anytime soon. It had all begun a few days prior when Buck had decided to try one of those Tik Tok pranks on you. You had been sitting on the couch watching TV when he sat down beside you, post workout, drinking a bottle of water. He began asking you the sounds that a bunch of different animals make while he took sips from the bottle. Puzzled, you answered all of his questions until he asked you the sound that a whale makes. Before you even had a chance to respond he had spit water in your face, effectively soaking you. From that moment on you were battling each other, the pranks getting worse each time.
“What the hell?!” You heard the exclamation from the kitchen and smiled to yourself. Salt in his coffee was the least of Buck’s worries with all the pranks you had planned for him.
The next few days passed in a blur of pranks, fake anger, and laughter. You and Buck were having way too much fun with your prank war and it seemed there was no end in sight.
After the coffee incident, Buck had twisted a hair tie around the sprayer in the kitchen sink so that when you turned on the faucet you got a face full of water. You had retaliated by replacing the filling in a bunch of Oreos with toothpaste. Seeing the look on Buck’s face when he bit into his favorite snack and found that it had been tampered with had practically left you on the floor in a fit of laughter.
When you walked out of your bedroom one morning you found Buck slipping out of your office. You were fortunate enough to work from home, but Buck rarely ever went into your office without you there and you were immediately suspicious. After sending him off to work you spent 20 minutes searching but didn’t find anything that indicated a prank. Relaxing, you decided to begin your workday. As soon as you sat down in your chair you realized what Buck had been doing in there. You shot up immediately at the sound of the air horn blasting underneath you. To say it scared you was an understatement, and you knew you had entered a whole new league of pranks.
Unbeknownst to you, over at the 118 Buck was howling with laughter. He had rigged up a camera in your office that was live-streaming to his phone so he saw the exact moment you sat down in your chair.
“Eddie, you have to watch this!” He ran across the apparatus floor to where Eddie was hitting the punching bag.
Buck replayed the video and Eddie started laughing at your reaction to the air horn. “I’m so glad it worked. That was next level, man.” They high fived, both still laughing.
“Does Y/N know who the true mastermind behind these pranks is?” Hen asked, passing by.
“Nope,” Buck replied. “And there’s no reason she needs to find out.”
He and Eddie exchanged a secretive look and Hen sighed, shaking her head as she walked away.
Buck’s scream echoed throughout the apartment, and you were almost positive it could be heard at the café across the street. You leaned against the bathroom door for support as you hysterically laughed at the bewildered look on Buck’s face. He was clutching his chest and staring at the toilet seat, mouth hanging open.
“What just happened?” he asked, breathless.
Trying to catch your own breath, you walked over and lifted the toilet seat. Hidden underneath were six little poppers that had gone off like fireworks when he sat down on the toilet.
He shook his head at you, clearly impressed. “Okay, I’ll admit, that was a good one. You really got me.”
“You should’ve seen your face! You looked like you had just died and come back to life.” You giggled at him and he smiled.
“You should feel how fast my heart is beating, I think I just had a heart attack.”
You rolled your eyes at his dramatics but reached out and placed your hand on his chest anyway, his heart beating a mile a minute underneath your fingers. He pulled you closer and wrapped his arms around you.
“When are we going to call this quits?” he whispered.
“Dunno,” you replied. “Depends on when you give up.” You looked up at him to find him already smiling down at you.
He shook his head at you again. “Sometimes you’re too stubborn for your own good.”
You raised your eyebrows as you pulled away from him. “Yeah, and you cheat.”
“What are you talking about?” He was trying desperately to keep his voice innocent and it wasn’t working.
“You aren’t a very quiet whisperer, nor are you good at making sneaky phone calls,” you laughed. “Tell Eddie I’m coming for him next.” You turned and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Buck alone again.
He stared at the empty doorway for a minute before sending a hasty text to Eddie.
You snuck into the 118 through a side door, almost tripping over an unseen object in the darkness. It was 1:30 AM and you were about to pull off your grandest prank yet.
“You know, you didn’t have to sneak in here like a thief.” The light above you flicked on and you saw Hen standing in front of you. “They’re both asleep. Come on.”
She opened the door behind her and you stepped onto the apparatus floor. You quickly followed her up the stairs where you found Chimney and Bobby sitting on the couch waiting for you. Setting your bag down, you greeted both of them quickly.
“Thanks for helping me out with this, guys.”
“No problem,” Bobby replied. “Just tell us where you want us.”
“Yeah, they’ve done you dirty the past week, girl,” Hen said. “It’s the least we can do.”
Chimney stood and rubbed his hands together. “I’m just excited to actually see them scared for once.”
You laughed and began pulling objects out of your duffle bag. “Do you have the PVC pipes?” you asked Chimney.
“Sure do!” He motioned towards the closet off of the kitchen.
“Perfect.” You began directing the three of them on how to construct the idea you had planned for Buck and Eddie. When you finished everyone began moving, fitting pieces of pipe together in an intricate shape.
“Are you sure they won’t wake up?” Bobby paused his work, a concerned look on his face.
“Oh no, Buck sleeps like he’s dead. The only thing that wakes him up is the sound of the station getting a call or me whacking him. And I happen to have insider information that Eddie is pretty much the same way.”
Bobby nodded his head before continuing his work. Before long the four of you were carrying pieces of PVC pipe down the stairs and into the bunk room. Quietly, you began erecting the pipes into a maze above and throughout Buck and Eddie’s cube. The gaps between the pieces of PVC were just large enough for them to be able to squeeze through if they were determined enough.
When you were finished the four of you stood back and admired your handiwork. Hen patted you on the back and Chimney once again rubbed his hands together with glee.
“They’re so cute when they’re asleep,” you sighed quietly. “I almost feel bad.”
“Don’t,” Chimney whispered in response.
Bobby raised his eyebrows at you and you nodded back at him in response. He turned slightly away and, like magic, the station alarm went off signaling a should be call.
Both Buck and Eddie shot up in bed, slipped their feet in their shoes, and stood up in one swift motion. The act of standing put pressure on the poppers you had taped to the bottom of their shoes and you were greeted with the loud sound of them exploding for the second time that day. Eddie stumbled backwards and Buck fell directly back onto his bed in response.
You watched as both men shook their sleepiness off and quickly realized what was happening. They looked around in bewilderment at the giant PVC pipe maze you had constructed around them. Buck turned and met your eyes, a look of disbelief on his face. Eddie was already analyzing the maze, trying to figure out an escape plan.
“Good luck boys!” You waved at them before turning and walking out of the bunk room.
Ten minutes later Hen, Chimney, and Bobby joined you on the couch upstairs. All three of them were laughing and Hen held out her phone for you to take.
“You have to watch the video I took of those two idiots. Your boyfriend almost got himself stuck on his head. Eddie had to pull him backwards by his legs.”
You took her phone and watched the video, dissolving into a laughing fit at the way they were attempting to escape from the maze.
“So, bets on how long it takes them?” Chimney asked. Everyone threw out their guesses of time, the answers varying wildly from one another.
42 minutes later Buck and Eddie trudged up the last steps into the kitchen, clearly exhausted. They collapsed into the closest chairs.
Eddie pointed an accusing finger at you and narrowed his eyes. “You’re an evil mastermind.”
“How did you even pull that off?” Buck asked.
“I had some assistance.” You gestured around you to the other three people in the room. “I figured you had help, why shouldn’t I employ some too?”
“Well, you all suck.” Buck said, half heartedly.
You stood and walked over to him, wrapping your arms around him from behind. “Aw, don’t pout. Just admit that I won.” You shot him a small smile and he nodded his head.
“Oh, I’ll definitely admit defeat after that one.”
“Me too,” Eddie piped up from beside you.
“So, no more pranks?” You raised your eyebrows at them in slight disbelief.
“No more pranks,” Buck agreed.
“Good, I can’t wait for life to go back to normal. This is exhausting.”
“You’re telling me.” Buck huffed out a laugh.
You smiled at him again and pressed a light kiss to his lips. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright, I started it after all.” He lifted your arm up in the air in a gesture of victory. “All hail the prank queen!” he shouted. Everyone echoed him with shouts of their own and you beamed, prouder of yourself than you had been in a long time.
