"You like how this feels, don't you?"

"Good work today, team." Heatwave nodded at his fellow rescuers. He took a moment to remove his hat and run a hand through his hair which you briskly admired. He looked different without his signature hat. Even if they were the same color, his hair gave a whole new ideal to what his personality should be like. It was mesmerizing to watch his choppy locks fall back into place. They framed his face perfectly, giving him a young and reckless twist. Immediately your face started to heat up and you looked away before anyone could notice.

"I believe we could have done better with the speed limit on Route 34." Chase declared in a "matter-of-fact" manner. He removed his visor and looked at his teammates. "I'd give today a solid 4."

Heatwave groaned, "You were on a chase, Chase."

"Hey, you said 'chase' twice in a row!" Blades chimed in, removing his gear quickly with a large grin on his face. Heatwave and Chase did not appreciate the joke and stared at him with blank slates before challenging each other again.

"I suppose... but my argument still stands!" Chase crossed his arms.

"Does it really?"

"Who knows? Personally, I thought we were okay." Boulder approached his crew with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I thought we were amazing!" Blades did a little jump and darted towards each of his partners. "The way Heatwave put out the fire," he moved to Chase, "The way you told those crooks 'you have the right to remain silent!'"

A giggle escaped your smiling lips at Blade's imitation of 'Bad Cop' Chase.

"Oh, (y/n) you were the best part!" he continued.

Being easily flustered, blood quickly rushed towards your cheeks at the compliment. The pink hue heated your entire face and you became a bit embarrassed. "Wha- me, well I uh- psh"

Weight was placed on your shoulder and you almost squeaked at the unexpected touch.

"You did good, (y/n)." Heatwave kept his hand planted and gave a little squeeze. His gravelly, deep voice sent shivers down your spine and the pink that painted your face slowly started to darken to a red. "I couldn't be more proud."

It felt quite literally as if an overwhelming burden had been removed from your shoulders once his hand was taken away. Air filled your tight lungs and you took in the scene for what it was. A family. The team was smiling warmly at you and it was a blissful euphoria. This was the place you belonged, these men were your family.

Well, most of them. It seemed as if Heatwave would remain forever oblivious to your affections.

"Would anyone like to join me for some 'Joe'?" Chase's eyebrows crinkled a bit to the phrase, "Hmm, still not quite used to that yet." He took out a small notepad from his back pocket and began scribbling furiously into it.

"I'll join you!" Blades exclaimed enthusiastically and walked over to Boulder. "You should too, Boulder!"

"Actually, Blades. I'm kind of tired at th- hey!" Boulder was grabbed by the shoulders and dragged away, completely confused.

"Heatwave?"

"Well I-"

"Too busy? That's a shame! Bye then!" Together the two followed close behind to the mumbling officer. Right before they were out of sight Blades gave you a discreet wink.
