Kaciart

i imagine its post lawsuit, back at work being treated poorly

and he doesnt want ANYTHING to compromise his spot

So it that means beating it out of there when hes hurt

because blood thinners and nosebleed

Ellaygee

yesss, he'd be the lick your wounds in private type for that

wouldn't want to be benched 

Kaciart

He flinches away from Eddie

which wow 'Buck, I wasnt going to...'

Ellaygee

this has such a 'it's everywhere' feel to it. Poor both of them. 

Kaciart

the splatter on the floor

Hen in the bg

'Is someone hurt?'

'S-Sorry I'll clean it in a minute'

Imagine if it was caused by another firefighter

just feeding off the animosity

Ellaygee

yesss, like...no one likes this guy anyway, it's fine if i punch him a little 

Kaciart

like elbowed back and caught him right on the nose

Buck was trying to pass on some message or something

Was getting ignored so he put a hand on the guys arm and BAM

Would not normally be as big an issue but blood thinners

And theyve been so harsh - that can quickly escalate to violence

So him flinching isnt that bizarre

Ellaygee

yeah, he'd be on edge all the time, it woudln't take much

Kaciart

Holding a fresh wad of tissues to his nose and trying to wipe up the drops from the floor

but its all over his hands so hes just smearing it

Ellaygee

something abt someone apologizing while actively bleeding is endearing in the most heartbreaking way

Kaciart

The thud of his knees on t he concrete as eh stumbles on to his knees froma wave of dizziness

Slaps a hand down for balance and when he gasps in its just a rush of blood

So he starts coughing

I just imagine the others are frozen until the coughing starts

And then Chim and Eddie are getting an arm each under his

And bringing hi tot he back of the ambulance

Bobby stares at the bloody handprint on the ground

Much later when he's been seen to and its stopped

It was a bit hairy for a while where they werent sure if they would need to take him ot the ER

Bobby calls him into his office and Buck thinks 'well this is it'

Bobby cant help but fuss and then uncomfortably asks if he would like to report every one for discrimination and bullying

Ellaygee

yesss, good for you bobby--recognizing the wrongness 

Kaciart

Bucks just like 'No?? why would I??'

Bobby's gonna write up some of them anyway - especially the guy that elbowed him

And theyre all going to have to attend a workshop 

About workplace bullying

And no one can come back to work until its completed
