Once Eddie joined Hen as her paramedic partner at the 118, when he returned from texas, they had definitely grown a lot closer, in the same way Buck and Ravi had. While waiting for Chimney, their current interm captain, to wrap things up at the scene, Eddie and Hen were sitting in the back of the closed ambulance for the AC. No patients that call, just someone who needed some water and a nap. In her rising boredom, Hen picks up one of the sharpies she'd been fidgeting with, popping the cap off and settling it on the back of the pen so she wouldn't loose it. She thought about drawing on herself but quickly deciding that it would look better if she did it on someone else, so she wordlessly reached over and grabbed Eddie's arm, pulling it into her lap.

"What are you doing?"He asked, shocked by the sudden pull, instinctively pulling his arm back only to be met by a light swat to his wrist before she pulls it back where she had it.

"Don't move, I put you here for a reason, that's where I wanted you." She studied her new canvas for a few seconds, deciding what she wanted to do. Almost as soon as the marker touched his arm he jumped, causing her to swipe an unwanted mark.

"Ugh, what part of don't move did you not hear?" She asked, annoyed, too busy wiping the ink away with her thumb to notice Eddie's sudden dark blush. When she went to start over Eddie flinched again, this time before she even touched him, biting down on his lip. Hen seemed to catch on this time, pulling his wrist a little more, then crossing her leg over his wrists.

"Hen..."

"Since you won't stay still yourself, I'll do it for you." She didn't wait this time, starting her patterns over his forearm, swatting away his other hand when it tried to interfere.

"StohohoOHOP Hehehen!"

"It's literally just a marker Eddie~ Relax~ I'll be done...eventually~"

It was no secret that Buck was the little brother of the 118, Hen had kinda filled the big sister role for him when Maddie wasn't around. The pair had spent many Halloweens together, both at work and simply because the kids love having Uncle Buck join them trick or treating. This year Buck had taken the kids out alone, Hen and Karen instead chaperoning Denny at his first Halloween party due to him feeling too old to trick or treat anymore. Buck obviously was done way before the party was, dropping Jee home to the Han's before taking Mara back to the Wilson's, using his spare key to let them in, turning on the nickelodeon Halloween movies for Mara as he checked her candy, making sure nothing was open or tampered with in any way. He let her eat a little bit before sending her upstairs to get changed and brush her teeth. He put away her candy that she had dumped all over the floor, leaving it in her bucket on the dining room table before meeting her in her room. He sat on her floor, staying with her until she fell asleep due to being a little freaked out by some of the decorations they saw. After she'd fallen asleep Buck went back into the living room and passed out on their couch, Freddy vs Jason playing at a low volume on the TV. After Hen and Karen insured that Denny was safely sleeping at his friend's house, the couple made their way home, Karen running right back out to find a 24 hour fast food place for them. Hen snuck in quietly, biting back a coo when she saw Buck sleeping soundly on her couch. After getting herself comfortable, she came back down to the couch, Buck laying flat on his back, one arm behind his head, the other resting on his chest. She watched him for a minute, then trailing her nails up the bottom of his foot that was hanging off the armrest. His face scrunched up as his foot twitched, snatching it back once she started scribbling her fingers.

"Buck, you've gotta get up Buddy." She whispered, slightly tapping his leg, huffing when he groaned, obviously annoyed at being disturbed. Hen watched him for a couple seconds, tapping him a few times, when he didn't wake up she stepped up and suddenly grabbed his sides right above his hips.

"BOO!" She said loud enough to startle him but not enough to wake up Mara upstairs. Buck woke up with a startled gasp, eyes flying open, looking at Hen with wide crystal blue eyes before confused giggles flowed from him.

"Whahahat?! Whyhyhyhy!?" He whined, pushing her hands with his elbows, back arching as he covered his mouth to not be so loud.

"You wouldn't wake up." She shrugged letting go of him, pushing his legs down so she could sit.

"Did you have to scare me though? I thought someone broke in."

"And tickled you?"

Hen and Chim were currently the only ones at the firehouse, Bobby, Buck, Eddie, and Ravi were out on a call. A simple one, cat stuck in a tree. Hen was peacefully reading on the couch while Chimney busied himself with chores before collapsing next to her, boredom and restlessness coursing through his veins. He slipped down till his head lightly bonked her shoulder, feeling her put the book down.

"You're that bored right now? You don't know how to pass time Chim? Pick up a book, watch something, text Maddie, there's so many things you have no reason to be so bored." Chimney groaned, sliding down to lay in her lap, flinging his arm dramatically over his face. Hen rolled her eyes, marking her place in the book before actually putting it down.

"Chim seriously?" She grabbed his arm to try to pull him up but quickly released when he yelped. She stared at him in confusion, ready to go full paramedic until she saw his neck flush in embarrassment. But... she had only grabbed his arm... oh! Realization dawned on Hen like the rising sun as she repeated her actions.

"Ticklish biceps, now this is information Maddie definitely needs to know~"

"Nohohohoho shehehe dohohohoesn't! Dohohon't tehehehell heheher!"

"Why~? You guys are past the crush stage, you afraid she might tickle you to death by squeezing your poor little arms~ I'm curing your 'chronic boredom' Chim~ Be more greatfull~"
