Chapter Text
Chimney stretches his arms over his head as he yawns. "Smells great, Cap," he says when he reaches the top of the stairs. Bobby looks up from the morning paper and just shakes his head.
"Not me," then he indicates to the kitchen. When Chimney turns, he just stares.
Buck and Eddie are the only ones in the kitchen. Buck is standing over the pan frying eggs and Eddie is standing right behind him, with his arms wrapped around Buck's middle and placing a kiss on the side of Buck's neck. No one reacts to it, not even Buck, who just continues cooking like this is perfectly normal behaviour for them. Chimney turns to Bobby then to Hen as she walks up the stairs behind him.
"Is no one seeing this?" Chimney gestures, perhaps a little wildly at the men in the kitchen, but Bobby doesn't even look up from his paper and Hen barely even glances at them. "Seriously? No one?"
Just as Chimney turns back to the kitchen Buck turns his head and kisses Eddie. Still no one says a word, though Ravi does shake his head like he's trying to forget something. Buck smiles at Chimney and asks in a cheery tone, "So, have you payed Ravi yet? I mean, Hen, Bobby you guys have, right?"
"Yep," Bobby and Hen says in unison.
Chimney looks between the members of his team, then it clicks, "You all knew!? And you didn't tell me!?"
"We asked them not to," Eddie says from where he's still wrapped around Buck. At the same time Ravi says, "I wish I didn't know."
"Was it really that bad, man?" Buck asks, shaking his head, even as his cheeks turn red so are Eddie's.
Ravi stares at them incredulously. "Yes. I did not want to know what the two of you look like when you're making out, no matter how much money I'm winning." Buck tries to hold in his laugh, just barely making it. Eddie rolls his eyes and kisses Buck's cheek.
Chimney just keeps staring at all of them, even as he reaches into his pocket and takes out his wallet. He takes out the forty dollars that he'd put down and hands them to Ravi without a word. Hen claps his shoulder when he drops down into an empty chair still completely flabbergasted and feeling just a little betrayed.
"Sorry, Chim," Buck says, not sounding sorry at all. "But really, man. For the last month or so, we haven't exactly been hiding this. I mean we kinda gave up on that when Hen called us out."
"He's right, we were holding hands the other night at dinner with you and Maddie," Eddie adds, finally letting go of Buck to start taking out plates.
Everyone spends breakfast laughing at Chimney, who still can't really wrap his mind around the whole thing. The entire time Eddie is just staring at Buck, looking so happy, it's a little hard for Chimney to be angry that he was the last one to find out. When he gets home Maddie just claps his cheek gently and sighs, just shaking her head.
