#gianna mackey

Firehouse 51 had a lot more of a family atmosphere than your other house ever did. They were all welcoming to you, except you couldn’t work out what you had done for Stella, Sylvie and Gianna to be avoiding you at every opportunity.

“You alright, S/n?” Ritter enquired, watching you leaning on the doorframe as you stared into space.

“I just, did I do something for Kidd, Brett and Mackey to be avoiding? I guess that if they don’t want me here I can just ask Chief Boden to call in someone else as floater.” You replied, unfolding your arms as you avoided the concerned looks of Gallo and Ritter at that.

“I didn’t even notice but now that you think about it, those three keep running off whenever you’re around.” Ritter realised, grimacing at the look on your face.

“Either way, shift’s about over. It was really nice to meet you both.” You smiled, shaking their hands before you headed towards the locker room.

“You need to talk to Mackey, now, tell her what S/n just told us!” Ritter whisper-yelled to Gallo, who nodded with a determined look in his eye.

“Mackey, I need to talk to you!”

“What’s up Gallo?” Gianna enquired, tilting her head to the side with a smile but Gallo brushed off it off.

“For whatever reason you three are avoiding S/n, you need to sort it out. She thinks she’s done something wrong and is going to ask Boden to call in another floater next shift!” Gallo explained, leaving Brett and Mackey to gasp as Stella froze.

“No, no, no, it’s the opposite-” Brett began, but Stella interrupted.

“I need to ask her out!”

“What?” Gallo frowned but Mackey just shook her head at him, turning to face Stella.

“You barely were able to talk to her-”

“Screw it! I’m going, this is my last chance!” Stella exclaimed, heading out to go find you.

“You got it, girl!”

“You can do it Stella!”

“What the hell just happened?” Gallo exclaimed as Ritter walked over with shrug.

“Y/n! Y/n! Wait up! Jeez you’re fast!”

You were about to open the car door when Stella Kidd sprinted over to you, her hand closing the car door as she took a breath.

“Are you okay?” Your hand went to her shoulder, hovering above it before eventually your fingers relaxed on her bomber jacket.

“I mean, I’m a bit warm but either your car engine is on or it’s all you, hot stuff.” Stella replied, making your eyes widen.

“Or it was you sprinting over here? Y’know, now that you’re not avoiding me, I can say that I think you’re stunning and a badass, y’know, you’re running Girls on Fire, which is an amazing programme!” You replied, smiling as Stella grinned at your compliment.

“What do you say about getting drinks tonight?” 

“Uh, I’d say what time as I was going to go see a movie on my own, I’d ask if you wanted to come but I don’t know-”

“What movie?”

“Black Widow.” You chewed your lip, watching Stella think about it.

“I’ll watch the trailer on my phone whilst we’re queuing but I have seen some Marvel movies.” Stella explained, watching you lean against your car in thought.

“Were you avoiding me all day because you wanted to ask me out?” 

Stella’s head perked up as she heard how soft your voice was as you asked that.

“Gallo told us what you told him and Ritter. I’m sorry I made you feel unwelcome. Avoiding you wasn’t what I wanted to do at all, I actually wanted to do this...” Stella trailed off, making you frown.

“Do what?”

Your eyes widened as Stella leaned closer to you, waiting for a moment for you to consent, smiling slightly as you gave her a curt nod.

You weren’t sure who from 51 was cheering but your focus was on Stella as the two of you kissed for a few moments as you pulled away.

“Uh, any further and you’re going to end up buying dinner. I’ll meet you at the cinema?” You asked, nodding your head at Stella’s truck.

Stella’s eyes were on her truck as you kissed her cheek, quickly slipping into your car.
