#probie may

i dont have enough space on my computer to open the doc lmao so i'll blab about it instead!

may joins the 118 as a probationary firefighter and everyone is super supportive of her- except buck. buck isn't quite outright hostile, but he isn't openly welcoming, and comes off as overbearing and maybe overprotective. may thinks he doubts her skills and she sets out to prove to buck that she can handle the rigors of the job. but there's more to buck's standoffishness and odd behavior than doubt in may or her skills. (i'm also planning on mayyybe a little background mayravi 🙂‍↕️)

here's a little bit of probie may!

Buck had known this was coming—Athena told him about May’s plans at Bobby’s wake months and months ago, over plastic plates of too-sweet cake and sparkling grape juice—but he still feels unprepared for it. Under-prepared.  

“Hey, guys.” May smiles sweetly and gives the table a tiny wave.

Hen pushes her chair away from the table and rounds it in three quick strides, gathering May in a big bear hug. “May, I’m so proud of you,” she murmurs.

i lied, i have one little bit of probie may i hadn't posted yet!!!

He cares about her, of course, and would do just about anything for her simply because she is—was—is Bobby’s kid. He genuinely likes May. She’s matured into someone Buck would be proud to call a friend. But when she walks up the firehouse loft in her crisp, blue uniform, thick-heeled shoes clipping purposefully across the polished wooden floor, he digs his nails into his palms and bites back the sudden urge to leap up from the table and hide amongst the bunks like a weirdo.
