A/N: Hen, Buck, Eddie, and Bobby are in this one.

Day 12: One Making the Other Blush

Title: New Uniform

Chimney was walking through the firehouse and talking to Maddie on the phone. Sometimes they did that when they had a chance to talk.

"So, did you get it?" Maddie asked over the phone.

Chimney smiled and looked at his new uniform. They had just came in that morning.

"Yeah, and I'm wearing it," he added.

"What does it look like?"

"It's basically the same as the other one except the font of our nametags are different and bigger, and overall, I think this uniform is more comfortable."

"I want to see what it looks like. Send me a picture… or two," Maddie said softly.

"Are you serious?" Chimney asked.

"Of course I am."

"Wait, what is that crunching sound?" Chimney asked as his brows raised.

"I'm eating grapes. I'm on my lunch break."

"Maddie, it's nine in the morning."

She sighed into the phone. "I don't know what to call it. I'm just on my break. I've been here since four in the morning, Chim."

"Ouch. You must be tired."

"I am, and I definitely need me a pick me up to get me through the rest of this shift… and these grapes aren't going to cut it. So, send me a picture of you."

Chimney grinned. "So, my face is the thing that'll get you through the day?"

Maddie laughed softly. "Definitely."

Chimney shook his head. "Okay, then I'll send you some."

"Wait," Maddie said. "Make sure you smile in at least one of those."

"Why?"

"I want you to. Besides, I need a new wallpaper."

"Of me?" Chimney asked, surprised.

"Yeah, silly," she answered.

"The only silly one here is you… wanting a picture of me as your wallpaper."

"Hey, I'm not! Maybe I just want to admire you… and whenever someone asks me who Chimney is, I can just pull out my phone, and say that's Chimney. That's my boyfriend. Look at his cute smile."

Chimney laughed softly and he began to blush.

They had only been dating for a little over two months, and Chimney couldn't get over Maddie calling him her boyfriend. It made him blush every time.

"All right. I'll send you pictures as soon as I can."

"Okay. I'll be waiting."

"Bye, Maddie."

"Bye."

Chimney rushed straight over to their exercising area and went to the "good lighting" space that Eddie had told him about. He took one picture of his body, so Maddie could actually see his uniform. Then, he took one of himself with a serious expression. And of course, he took a picture of him and he made sure he was smiling as big as he could.

And then, he began to kid around. He picked up a dumbbell(one he could actually lift, of course; he didn't want to get too cocky and pull a muscle) and acted like he was lifting weights when he snapped a few pictures.

When he was finished, he sent them and walked upstairs and took a seat at the kitchen table.

Maddie responded within a couple of minutes, and she sent multiple text messages.

Maddie: oh wow, Chim

Maddie: you're handsome

Maddie: hot

Maddie: cute

Maddie: and adorable

And then, she sent a few text messages that consisted of nothing but kissy face and heart-eyed emojis.

Maddie: oops. I forgot to comment on your uniform. It looks great

Chimney laughed and his cheeks felt so hot.

He had never had a girlfriend that reacted the way Maddie did when he had sent them pictures. Maddie's reaction was adorable, and it made him feel really good.

Chimney texted her back and told her "thank you"; he had even sent a few heart-eyed emojis to her. And he told her that she would have to send him a picture of herself sometime, so he could have it as his wallpaper. She told him she definitely would.

Chimney just reread her text messages over and over.

"Hello? Earth to Chim!" Buck said.

Chimney looked up from his phone and Hen and Buck were standing in front of him.

"What?" He asked.

"Whatever's on that phone must be pretty good because Buck and I have been trying to get your attention for a few minutes now," Hen said.

"Look! He's blushing!" Buck pointed out.

"No, I'm not," Chimney said, brushing it off, but Hen was nodding beside Buck.

"You are, Chim. So, what's going on?"

Chimney looked at his phone again before he looked up.

"I might've gotten a really sweet message from someone after I sent them pictures of me in my new uniform," he said as he began to smile again.

Chimney and Maddie hadn't exactly told anyone that they were dating yet. It seemed like almost everyone was convinced they were dating anyway, so they really didn't think it was necessary to announce it.

"It was Maddie, wasn't it?" Buck asked. "She blushes like that when you text her too."

"She does?" Chimney asked, ignoring his first question.

"Yeah, she giggles like she's in third grade."

Chimney laughed softly. He loved knowing that piece of information. Images of Maddie blushing filled his mind, and it gave him butterflies.

"Okay, let's stay on track here. So, is it Maddie or not? What did she say?" Hen wondered.

Chimney sighed. "Yes, it's Maddie... and she said some really nice things about the way I look in my uniform."

"Wow," Hen said. "Chim, I've been wondering this for weeks, but when are you all going to make it official?"

Well, since someone had finally asked about their relationship status instead of automatically assuming, Chimney just decided to go ahead and tell them. He just wanted to check in with Maddie and make sure it was okay. After all, he only wanted to do things Maddie's way.

"Who are you texting?" Buck asked.

"Maddie. I'm making sure it's okay if I tell people the news."

Wait… did you get my sister pregnant?" Buck asked, his voice getting louder.

"What?" No!" Chimney shouted as he threw his hands in the air. "That isn't the news, Buck!"

"Well, then what is it?" Buck asked.

Chimney's phone vibrated and Maddie told him that she was more than fine with him telling people.

"We're official. We started dating two months ago," Chimney explained.

Hen grinned. "Tell me everything. How did it happen?"

Buck made a confused expression. "How is that news?"

"Uh, it's news because we started dating and we just now decided to tell everyone," Chimney said.

"No, you've been dating since before that night we all had dinner at your apartment… when I asked both of you if you were dating and you both started acting weird."

Chimney shook his head. "Buck, no. We tried to tell you we weren't dating… twenty times, and you didn't listen."

Buck looked as confused as ever. "But-" he began, and Eddie, who was sitting across the room, interrupted him.

"Can you please be quiet so Chim can finish his story?"

"Agreed. Go on," Hen said.

Chimney looked around, and all of his friend's eyes were on him. He cleared his throat before he began to speak.

"Before I start, I just wanted to thank you for showing me that spot with the good lighting down there, Eddie. You're a lifesaver."

"Oh, god," Buck groaned.

"Hey, you're welcome," Eddie answered.

"So, Maddie was at my apartment and we were watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I started laughing at this part in the movie, and I forgot I was holding the bowl of popcorn… so it flew out of my lap and the popcorn went everywhere. So, Maddie and I paused the movie to clean up the mess… and we were both on the floor, and Maddie started laughing at me and then I started laughing too… when we stopped, we were staring at each other. It was just one of those moments, you know? I ended up telling her she was beautiful, and she kissed me. That's it."

Chimney looked at Hen, and she was so proud. He looked at Buck, and he looked like he was disgusted. Eddie had a small smile on his face.

"That has got to be the best get-together story I've ever heard," Hen said.

"Oh, come on. That's not actually what happened, right?" Buck asked.

"Yeah, it is," Chimney said as he scratched the back of his head. "Ask Maddie and she'll tell you the same thing."

"So, how is it… dating Maddie?" Hen asked.

"To be honest, nothing hasn't changed. We still do all the same things we did before we got together. The only difference is, we don't really make it to the end of movies anymore. We uh, we get a little distracted," he said as a smile formed on his lips. "But dating Maddie is great. She's really amazing."

"I'm going to get sick," Buck complained.

"Our boy's in love!" Hen shouted.

"Who's in love?" Bobby asked as he was coming up the steps.

"Chim," Hen answered.

"And it's gross," Buck added.

"Hey now. There's nothing wrong with being in love," Bobby said.

"Yeah, there is, especially when the person he's in love with is my sister," Buck pointed out.

Bobby chuckled a little and patted Chimney's shoulder. "Maddie. I saw that one coming."

"See! Even Cap thought you all were dating!" Buck said.

Bobby walked around the table and took a seat. He shook his head.

"No, I didn't say that. I said I saw it 's a difference. I knew Chim was in love with her a long time ago," Bobby explained.

Bobby looked over at Chimney and smiled.

"I'm happy for you, Chim."

"Me too," Hen said

"Me three," Eddie added.

"Thanks, guys," Chimney said.

Everyone looked at Buck because it was his turn to say something.

He sighed. "Me four. I think."

"Now, Buck. What's wrong with Chimney dating your sister? As long as he treats her right, then you don't have anything to worry about," Bobby said.

"Buck, I hope you'd know by now that I would never hurt Maddie," Chimney explained.

God, he would die before that happened.

"No, I know. It's not that. I know she's gonna be okay with you, but I never imagined hearing you talk about kissing my sister… or you becoming my brother."

Chimney's eyes widened. "Buck, we've only been dating for two months…getting married isn't anything we're thinking of right now."

"It's gonna happen," Buck said.

"Not to be pushy or anything, but he's right. It's gonna happen," Hen said as she shrugged. "I bet every one of you fifty bucks that it will."

"Oh no, you aren't about to bet on mine and Maddie's relationship," Chimney said.

"He's right. That's totally uncalled for," Bobby added.

"It is, because we all know Hen is trying to rob us," Eddie teased. "She's just trying to get us to bet against her, so she'll win money. She already knows she's right."

"Hey!" Hen shouted. "I can't help that I'm right about everything."

"All right, 's enough. I think we should find something useful to do instead of sitting around and talking about relationships that aren't any of our business… so get to work," Bobby told everyone.

"Seriously, Chim, I'm really happy for you," Hen told him. "Anytime you and Maddie want to do a double date, Karen and I would love to go out with you all."

"Thank you, Hen. We'll definitely do that," Chimney said.

Everyone began to get up and move toward the stairs, and Chimney couldn't believe that he was thinking about marriage… thanks to his friends.

Of course, it was way too early to even think about, but if it was meant to happen, Chimney would be happy about it… because the idea of being married to Maddie Buckley definitely didn't sound bad at all. In fact, it sounded amazing.
