All That Matters [Kelly Severide]
All That Matters [Kelly Severide]

Description: Kelly is overprotective, but this time he has a good reason.ย
Warnings: Assault, unwanted advances, cursing.
The Cubs were playing tonight and anytime they played a home game all of Chicago would watch. Some from their homes, some from Wrigley Field, some from bars. This did not exclude the crew from Firehouse Fifty-One. They'd all gathered at Molly's after their shift to watch the game, eat some food and drink.
The bar was packed. Like barely any standing room packed.
Kelly had decided that since Y/N excelled during a challenging call that he would be the designated driver.
Y/N definitely would've blown over the legal limit on a breathalyzer by inning five.
Four shots of tequila and two beers had her stumbling through the crowd on her way back from the bathroom.
Kelly had noticed a guy glancing over at her a lot, but he didn't want to say anything to Y/N because he wanted her to enjoy tonight. He didn't want to start something over nothing again. Maybe the guy was looking at the TV. They were sitting close to it.
Y/N had noticed the guy staring at her too. She didn't say anything to Kelly because she knew how he could get. Anything that would present a threat to her in his book, was immediately taken care of by him. For example, the Chicago Fire Department Gala.
The gala was a fundraiser to raise money for families around Christmas time. A group of guys cornered Y/N and Gabby by the bathrooms. When Kelly saw what was going on, he only saw red. That was until Y/N grabbed his wrist. She was the only person able to bring him back to earth when things got tough.
He's head over heels for that girl.
Y/N was halfway there when someone bumped into her. She didn't think much of it at first, until someone grabbed her forearm.
She turned around and met the face of the guy that she felt staring at her all night.
"Can I help you?" She asks.
"Yeah. You can actually." He replies. "Do a little spin for me sweetheart." He smirks.
"No thanks. I have a boyfriend, and even if I didn't, I wouldn't be interested." She was starting to sober up, because she felt uncomfortable.
"That guy in the CFD shirt? Did he have to buy that to look cool because he's a volly?" He chuckles. "Honey both of us know he can't handle a woman like you." He gives Y/N a sinister smile and her stomach churns.
She looks around Molly's, desperately trying to catch Kelly's eyes, but the he steps up beside her.
"Firehouse Fifty-One, Squad Three Lieutenant Kelly Severide." Kelly grabs his hand and tears it off of his girlfriend. "Can I help you? Or are we going to have a problem because you keep harassing my girlfriend?"
"I didn't do shit, but if you want a problem, I can give you one." The guy sits his can of beer down on the table beside them and swings at Kelly, but, because he's drunk, he completely misses and hits Y/N.
By then Casey, Gabby and Cruz noticed what was going on, and they'd started to make their way over.
Y/N fell to the ground because she wasn't expecting that. Kelly immediately lunges at the guy and tackles him to the floor. He throws punches left and right. Not caring where he was hitting the guy.
Gabby kneeled down by Y/N and helped her to her feet and out the front door, leaving Casey and Cruz to get Kelly.
"Severide! Severide! Stop!" They grabbed his arms and dragged him up to his feet.
"Stop before you kill him!" Casey yells.
Kelly doesn't care. His brain immediately goes to Y/N.
"Where is she? Where's Y/N?"
"Gabby took her outside." Cruz says.
Kelly starts towards the door, pushing past everyone to get to her. Once he gets outside he looks left and then right to find Y/N and Gabby standing by the wall. He rushes to her and turns her to him.
She's got a black eye already forming, a definite bloody broken nose, and tears rolling down her face. Kelly sighs and pulls her to his chest and puts his hand on the back of her head.
"I'm so sorry, baby." Kelly whispers.
"It's ok. I'll be fine."
"No it's not ok. That bastard is getting charges pressed against him, and you are going to get checked out." He says. "I should've went with you. I should've been there earlier."
"You can't predict the future Kelly." Y/N says as she pulls away. "I'm ok. You're ok. That's all that matters."
"That's all that matters."

Wrapping Paper [Quinn Hughes] ๐

Description: Quinn can't wrap gifts to save his life. Y/N is his neighbor and can help.
Warnings: Cursing.
A/N: Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas!
"Mom, I have no idea what I am doing." Quinn whines to Ellen through the phone.
He's trying to wrap presents, and it's not going well.
"Well did you watch a video honey? Maybe that can help." Ellen suggests.
Quinn tries to pull the wrapping paper and accidentally rips it. "Damnit." He mumbles. "I did watch a video, it just doesn't work."
"Well, do you know anyone there that can help you?" She asks.
"None of the boys know how to." Quinn says, setting scissors down.
"How about Y/N? You guys always say that she knows how to fix and do everything."
Y/N is Quinn's neighbor and a photographer for the canucks. He has a tiny crush on her, but we don't talk about that.
"Mom. I am not asking Y/N to help me wrap presents." He sighs.
"Why not? She's always told you if you ever need anything just let her know." Ellen questions. She really didn't understand why he couldn't just ask Y/N for help. She's a really sweet girl.
"Because I'm twenty years old and this is embarrassing." He replies. He tosses the scissors on the carpeted floor and runs a hand through his hair. "Maybe I should just get bags."
Ellen laughs. "You do what you want honey, but I know Y/N will help you and not even question it."
"Ok mom." Quinn sighs, again. "Well I know it's late there so tell Luke and dad I love and miss them."
"I will. Goodbye Quinn, I love you."
"Love you too mom."
They hang up and Quinn looks around his living room, at all of the presents he needed to wrap.
"This is going to take forever."
ยงยงยง
"So Quinn, how is present wrapping going?" Brock asks after practice.
"It's been like three days and I only have two done slightly correct. So if that tells you anything." Quinn replies, taking his helmet off.
"Dude, just ask Y/N. Have you been to her place lately? She's got everything wrapped perfectly under her tree. I even had her wrap that one toy for my nephew."
Y/N walks over to the bench and greets everyone.
"Hey guys, were doing the Christmas pictures today just let me know when you want to start."
Everyone gives her a "ok" and she goes back to set up her camera to take pictures of the rest of practice.
ยงยงยง
After practice and the Christmas pictures and videos were all done Brock, Elias and Quinn were all walking to the vehicle they carpooled in to go home and play video games when they saw Y/N walking to her car.
So, as any teammate would, Brock decided to take advantage of it and help Quinn out.
"Hey Y/N!" He exclaims. Quinn shoved him and gave him a death glare while Elias just giggled. She turns around and stops to wait for them.
"Hey Brock, what's up?" She asks, shifting her bag on her shoulder.
"Could you help Quinny wrap his presents? He's struggling." Brock side eyes Quinn, who rolls his eyes.
"Yeah of course! Just let me know when you get home and I'll come over and help you?" She questions.
"Yeah! Thank you." Quinn shyly replies.
"No problem! You guys have fun playing video games." She says before she gets into her car and drives off.
"See Quinn. She's a sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid to talk to her." Brock chuckles, throwing his stuff in the car.
"I'm not afraid to talk to her." Quinn pouts.
"Yeah ok." Elias pipes in.
"Shut up Petey."
ยงยงยง
After getting home, Quinn texted Y/N and told her he was home and she replied a few minutes later saying she'd be over soon.
He looked around his apartment and decided to pick up stuff he'd thrown around randomly.
If only Jack and Luke could see him. They'd never let him hear the end of it. He can hear their voices in his head already.
"Quinn's got a crush."
"Quinn's whipped."
Whatever floats their boat.
His doorbell rang and he scanned around one last time to make sure it didn't look like a complete pigsty before opening it.
"Hey, thanks for coming over."
"You don't need to thank me. I've got brothers, I understand wrapping presents isn't really a guys thing." She laughs.
"Especially not mine." Quinn laughs with her.
ยงยงยง
After an hour, all of the presents were wrapped, labeled and decorated with bows. Y/N even sort of taught him how to wrap presents.
"I know you just taught me but I might just have to keep asking you to help me because I actually really like spending time with you." Quinn says, watching her write on a tag for Lukes gift.
"I like spending time with you too. You're a great person Quinn."
"Thank you. I think you're great too." He smiles. "So, would you maybe want to stay and watch a movie with me? I'll order us food." He offers.
"Yeah, that sounds great." She smiles.
Later after eating and while they were in the middle of the movie, Quinn gets a text.
Brock
So did your presents get wrapped Quinny?
Santaโs Helper [Johnny Beecher]๐

Description: Y/N works as Santa's Helper, and Johnny needs to get a present for his cousin.
Warnings: None.
A/N: Day 6 of 12 Days Of Christmas!
The mall is always packed this time of year, and people always need help finding presents, so every holiday season Y/N is a "Santa's Helper".
Sure she liked doing it, but when grumpy people yell at you for suggesting they get their son who likes paw patrol and the color red a Marshall play set, it gets tiring.
She had just gotten in when the other girl told her she had "two cute guys" waiting on her. She puts her sweater on over her uniform shirt and walks over to the boys.
"Hi guys, my name is Y/N and I'm a Santa's Helper." She introduces herself, shaking hands with both boys.
"I'm Cam." The redhead says.
"I'm Johnny." The brunette says.
"Ok. Cam, Johnny, who are we shopping for today?"
"I'm shopping for my sister, and my parents." Cam says.
"I'm shopping for my cousin, and my brother." Johnny says.
"Ok, I can work with that." Y/N smiles.
As they were walking around the stores Y/N got to learn about both boys, especially Johnny.
They play hockey at the University of Michigan, where she also goes to school.
"I'm not sure why I didn't recognize you guys. You're pretty popular on campus." Y/N says as she scans through shelves of makeup for Cam's sister. "You said your sister wanted more colorful eyeshadow?" Cam nods. "I'm not a big fan of James Charles, but the Morphe palette is really good and colorful." She pulls it off of the shelf and hands it to Cam who looks at it and nods.
Johnny stood there and watched her do her thing. He loves how she remembers things only if it's been said once and is so easy to make conversation with. Now that he knows who she is, he knows that she is the girl Will had a project with for his Psychology class.
He also thought she was adorable in her Santa hat.
"Ok, so your cousin likes Barbies right?" Johnny nods. "The holiday Barbie is on sale for twenty bucks."
ยงยงยง
"So Beech, you going to give her your number or ask her out?" Cam asks as they wait for Y/N to come back with a decoration for Cam's mom.
"Huh?" Johnny replies, turning to face his friend with a confused look.
"Dude, you've been staring at her with heart eyes the whole time." Cam snorts.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Johnny mutters and crosses his arms.
"Yeah ok, Beech." Cam laughs. "She seems to be a good girl, and she is beautiful, so I say go for it."
Just after he says that she rounds the corner carrying a picture for Cam's mom to hang in her house.
ยงยงยง
After finishing, Cam decided to run off and get a drink, leaving Johnny and Y/N by themselves.
"Thank you for helping, we would've been lost without you."
"Yeah of course! You'll have to let me know if your cousin likes the doll though, I was in love with mine when I was younger." Y/N smiles as she reminisces. Johnny's stomach erupts with butterflies.
"God you're beautiful." Johnny whispers as he takes in her smile.
"What was that?" Y/N asks.
"Uh, nothing." Johnny stumbles over his words until he sees Cam standing behind Y/N motioning to his phone to get her number. Finally, he gives in. "Could I have your phone number? I'd like to take you out sometime."
Y/N blushes as she nods. Johnny hands her his phone and she types her information in.
"I'd love to go out with you sometime Johnny, but I still want to know if your cousin likes the doll so text me, please?"
"Yeah, of course." He grins.
"Well, I should get back to work." She turns her head to look at few women standing at the desk.
"Yeah. I'll text you later?" Johnny asks as he takes a few steps.
"I'll be waiting."
Out Of Stock [Eddie Diaz] ๐

Description: Eddie is desperate to find a popular toy for Christopher, but it's been sold out everywhere. Y/N helps.
Warnings: Cursing.
A/N: Day 5 of 12 days of Christmas!ย
Y/N and Eddie are best friends. They have been since they met in the military, so since she doesn't have family in Los Angeles, she spends it with Eddie, Christopher and the rest of their family.
Y/N owns her own business. A home goods store called "Home Remedies". She designs, and oversees everything, but she still had time to keep Christopher when Eddie's family couldn't or needed a break. Sometimes she just wants to spend time with him, especially since his mom died. She never wants to or will replace his mother, but she wants him to have a mother figure, and everyone thinks she's the perfect person for it.
Y/N has been their shoulder to lean on since she left, and she continued to do so after she died. Eddie knew he loved her, but after Shannon coming back he was so confused. Here lately though,
Today was one of those days where Eddie was working and Christopher wanted to stay with Y/N, so she stopped working for a little bit, and picked him up from school. Y/N brings him back to work with her but stops by the bakery next door to get him something sweet to snack on while he does his homework.
"You excited for Christmas break Chris?" She asks as the walk into her store.
"Yeah." He sighs.
"Chris, what's wrong?" She asks as she takes him into the conference room where she was working before to get him set up.
"I'm not sure if Santa is going to be able to gift me the one thing I put on my list."
"Why's that?" Y/N asks as she helps him get in the chair and get his stuff out of his bag.
"Because everyone asked for the new hot wheels mustang LEGO set. I don't think the elves will have enough supplies to make everybody one." Chris replies as he writes his name on his math paper.
"Well, I'm sure Santa and the elves have it covered Chris. They are magic after all." She squats down to his level and presses a kiss to his head. "Don't worry ok? I'll put in a good word with Santa."
ยงยงยง
"Y/N, I seriously can not find this mustang anywhere! That's the only thing he asked for. What am I supposed to do?" Eddie asks as Y/N grabs a new science kit for Christopher off of the shelf.
"It will be ok Eddie. We'll make sure he gets it." Y/N turns and sees his scrunched up face before sighing and putting the box in her cart. "Now I know where your son gets his constant worrying."
Eddie pouts and pinches her side. "Y/N, stop picking on me."
"Sorry, I wish I could, but I don't want to."
He scoffs and puts his arm around her shoulders.
"Oh come on. I thought you loved me."
"I do love you Ed."
ยงยงยง
Y/N had a meeting with a store she sells to today. The store carried everything you could think of, so she wasn't surprised to hear that they got the last shipment of the Hot Wheels Mustang LEGO set. She perked you at the statement and turned to the owner.
"How much do those LEGO sets normally cost?"
"One hundred and twenty. Why?" The man asks.
"I'll give you double for one." She proposes.
"I don't know, I mean is that ethical or whatever?" The man questions.
"Look sir, I really need one of those for my best friends son, Christopher. That's the only thing he asked for this Christmas and neither his father nor I can find it anywhere." She explains. The man sits for a few seconds, still contemplating until she speaks up again. "How about three hundred?"
"You've got yourself a deal Ms. Y/L/N." The man smiles.
ยงยงยง
After completing her meeting and grabbing the LEGO set, Y/N makes a quick stop at the station to see Eddie.
She walks in, set in her hands, Eddie looks up and his eyes go wide.
"Oh my god. How did- Did you- Holy shit." He lets out a sigh of relief and wraps Y/N in his arms, picks her up and spins her around.
The rest of the 118 gathers to see what's going on and Buck immediately recognizes who the woman is.
"That's Y/N. His best friend, and also kind of Christopher's mother figure." He whispers to everyone, and they all nod.
Eddie sets Y/N down and hugs her even more.
"Oh my god I could kiss you right now I love you so much!"
He doesn't even realize what he said until he sees the confusion in her eyes, so he quickly diverts.
"Christopher is going to be so happy Y/N! How much do I owe you?"
"Don't worry about it Ed. Just tell him it's from Santa and that he always has enough for the good girls and boys." Y/N smiles as she hands it over.
"Are you sure?" Eddie asks.
"Of course! He deserves everything he wants." She replies.
As Eddie was about to reply the tones went off throughout the fire station and everyone started running to their trucks.
"Here, I'll put it in your closet when I take Chris home."
Eddie hands it over and quickly thanks her before running to get his gear and get in the truck.
Once he's settled and has his seatbelt on Buck turns to him.
"If you don't marry her, I will."
ยงยงยง
It was finally Christmas Day and Christopher was up early to open gifts and have breakfast before getting ready to spend the rest of his day with family. Y/N and Eddie have started getting more comfortable with the idea of maybe becoming something more than just friends and everyone could tell that it would work out in their favor, as well as Christopher's.
"All right Chris, this one is from Santa!" Y/N exclaims and hands him the gift that she wrapped because Eddie could not wrap to save his life.
Christopher took the gift from her and started ripping the paper. Once he saw the logo on the box he got excited.
"Oh my gosh! No way!" He exclaims.
"What did you get?" Eddie asks and leans over to see.
"The Hot Wheels Mustang LEGO set!"
"Santa and the elves did good this year didn't they?" Y/N asks from beside Christopher.
"Yeah! This is so cool!"
After Christopher opened his gifts, it was now time for Y/N and Eddie to open theirs.
Y/N and Christopher got Eddie a new punching bag and gloves. Eddie and Christopher got Y/N a fancy coffee machine and travel mugs since she uses them all of the time, but Eddie and Christopher have a surprise for Y/N.
"Hey Chris, can you grab that box beside you and hand it to her?"
Christopher nods and hand it to her excitedly. Y/N gives Eddie a confused look and he just tells her to open it.
She unwraps the box and opens it to see a picture of the three of them and a letter taped to it. She smiles at the picture and then grabs the piece of paper.
"Read it out loud." Eddie urges.
"Y/N. I do not know where Christopher and I would be without you. You have always been our rock and have never left our side even when things got really tough, or when we moved to a different state. You were there for me and my son when no one else was. I love you and I have since I first met you. I know you love me too, and my son. You are his mother. You have cared for him and loved him even when his biological mother didn't. Thank you for loving both of us, now we just hope you will let us continue to love you by being ours. My partner, and Christopher's mom." She reads aloud. She started crying during the third sentence, so the only way she could answer was by nodding her head and sobbing. Eddie sits down on her other side and presses a kiss to her head and then moves onto Christopher doing the same.
"I love you guys. So much." She kisses Christopher's cheek and then pulls Eddie in for a quick kiss.
"I love you mom." Christopher says as he snuggles into her side.
She may not be his mother by blood, but she is Christopher's mom and the love of Eddie's life.
Pen Pal [Owen Lindmark] ๐

Description: Owen and Y/N both sign up for a Christmas Pen Pal project,
Warnings: Cursing.
A/N: Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas! Merry Christmas!
The University of Wisconsin has a program around the holidays where students can be paired with a pen pal in their class if they feel like they are lonely or just want to.
Y/N wasn't making very many friends. She's a Pre-Med student, so she doesn't have much time to go party, or hang out with other students that aren't in her classes.
Sure, she did make a couple of friends, her roommate, Jessa, and Lacie, Max, and Joel, who are all pre-med students as well. She just felt closed off.
Owen has plenty of friends, he just wants friends that aren't hockey players, or girls that are just trying to hook up to say they hooked up with "The Owen Lindmark".
You know your pen pals first name, but that is it.
Owen has just gotten back to the dorm after practice and stopped by to get his mail for the first time in days. There was a package, his amazon order, finally. There was also two letters. He looked at the one, it said, "University of Wisconsin Pen-Pal Program". The other said "To: Owen From: Y/N".
"What's up O?" Ryder asks as he walks in behind his teammate.
"I got a letter from my pen pal. I think it's a girl, their name is Y/N."
"Yeah I've heard of her, never met her though." Ryder says.
Once Owen gets in his dorm room, he opens the package. He had ordered more Gatorade Gx pods. Then he opened the letter from the pen pal program.
Dear Owen Lindmark,
Thank you for signing up for the pen-pal program. After going through all of the students who have also signed up from your class, we have selected Y/N. Have fun making a new friend, and Happy Holidays!
Then he opens the letter from Y/N.
Hi Owen! I'm Y/N, we've been paired for the pen-pal program. I'm not really sure how to do this type of thing, so I'll just tell you a little about myself. I'm eighteen, a freshman here at UW. I'm a Pre-Med student and I want to be a Orthopedic Surgeon.
I hope to hear back from you!
"She sounds super smart." Owen mumbles to himself.
ยงยงยง
Later that day Owen sits down to write a letter to Y/N. He struggled for a little bit, not really sure what to say or even how to start out, but once he started he just kept writing.
A few of the boys came in while he was writing, asking what he was doing, and he just said "I'm talking to my pen-pal.".
The boys were confused, but just continued playing video games.
Once he was done, he rand down to the front desk to mail it to Y/N, hoping she didn't think he ignored her.
ยงยงยง
The next day Y/N stopped to get her mail in her dorm. It had been a few days since she sent a letter to her pen-pal, Owen, and she hadn't heard anything back, so she was hoping he sent her something.
She got her mail and her eyes lit up when she saw it said it was from him. She rushed up to her dorm and sat on her bed to read it before doing her homework.
Hi Y/N! I'm Owen! I'm sorry for not responding as quick as I should have, I forget to get my mail a lot. Anyway, you sound super smart! Where are you from and what do you like to do outside of school? I also do not know how to do this type of thing so I'll just tell you some random facts about myself. I'm eighteen, also a freshman at UW. I haven't chose a major yet, but I'm working on it. I'm from Naperville, Illinois. I love hockey, and football. I have a few siblings, they're kind of annoying sometimes but I love them. I like to play video games with my friends and basically just do whatever with my friends. They are a great group of people, I hope you'll meet them one day!
ยงยงยง
Over the next few weeks they sent letters back and forth. They even sent each other candy once in a while.
They both really like taking to each other and their friends all noticed. Y/N was a lot more social, and Owen was happy all of the time, even with finals being a week away.
Y/N had decided to get Owen a psychology book, because he had mentioned he was interested in that for his major. She got a box and put the book in it with a letter and a Milky Way.
Owen had also got Y/N some stuff. She had mentioned that she was going to try a new note taking method that would could down on time because it doubled for studying. She needed colored card stock and pens. He got her those and a Starbucks gift card that he taped to his letter to her. He decided last minute to put his phone number in it.
When he got her package the day before everyone left for Christmas break and opened it he smiled and pulled out another piece of paper.
Y/N about cried when she opened her package. She had a stressful day and the thoughtfulness of it made her day. When she read the letter she could feel it already. She hasn't even met this kid and she's already falling for him.
She put his phone number in her phone and texted him really quick.
ยงยงยง
Owens phone buzzed against his nightstand while he was making a sandwich. He walked over to it and saw it was a unknown number. When he opened it a big grin took over his face.
You're the sweetest. I forgot I told you about the card stock thing.
Then another message popped up.
Thank you Owen, you seriously made my day. โค๏ธ
He decided to be a little brave with his reply.
You're welcome! And thank you for the psychology book. It's ok if you don't want to, but would you maybe want to meet up after break? I really like talking to you and I'd love to meet you in person.
It only took Y/N a minute to reply.
Y/N-
I'd love to. I'll see you then, pen-pal?
Owen-
I'll see you then, pen-pal. Merry Christmas.
Y/N-
Merry Christmas Owen.
In The Surf [Adrielย โBaconโ Young]

Description: Y/N gets ran over by her best friends boyfriend, Colton, out in the surf, and Bacon has to rescue her, but itโs complicated.
Warnings: Broken bones, gashes.
"You guys ready?" Y/F/N asks as her boyfriend and Y/N stand next to her.
"Uh, yeah." Colton, her boyfriend sighs.
He's definitely not ready. He doesn't know how to surf, but that's not what he told Y/F/N, and Y/N.
"Yeah. Last one to the lineup buys lunch." Y/N says and starts running towards the water. Colton was definitely going to buy lunch, because Y/N's using the rip to send her out.
The swell was great, eight to nine foot waves. You don't get that too often at Bondi.
Y/N made it out first and caught a couple of waves before sitting with Colton while they watch Y/F/N ride a wave in. Then she turns and sees a great set coming in. She starts paddling and so does Colton. Y/N gets up and she's closest to the break, so all of the other surfers back off, except for one.
Colton keeps going and loses balance for a split second, changing the direction of his board and smashing into the back of Y/N's leg and sending her flying before falling off himself, but he gets washed in towards the shore.
Pain radiates through Y/N's leg as she tries to resurface, but a huge wave throws her around before she can get up to breathe again.
Y/N's local. She grew up surfing and swimming here at Bondi, Tamarama, and Bronte. So, she's here quite often and has met a few of the lifeguards after helping a few people stay above water. She definitely didn't need them to rescue her, but when Bacon saw a familiar board bobbing up in down, vertical in the air after the big wave, his heart dropped. Then the board goes back to its original position and she throws her arms over the board and rests her head, but she doesn't get on.
"Hey Bacon, you might have to go in. I think she might've gotten hit by another surfer." Chappo says over the radio.
"Yeah mate, I'm going." Bacon replies.
He takes his pullover off and grabs the board, then starts running. He hits the water and starts paddling. The waves that kept coming were harsh, almost knocking him off the rescue board a few times.
Bacon was hoping that by time he got out to her, she'd still be hanging onto her board, and not under the water.
Finally, after one last huge wave he reached her.
"Y/N?" Her head pops up and she sees Bacon, who she'd met multiple times.
"Hey. I got hit." Y/N says and tries once again to get up on her board. "My left leg hurts like a bitch and I can't get up on the board."
Bacon nods and moves on his board. "Is it alright if I get in and take a look?"
"Be my guest." She laughs and plops her head back down.
Bacon jumps into the water and swims over to her leg. It's bent at a weird angle.
Definitely broken.
He resurfaces closer to her and puts his hand on her shoulder.
"I'd say it's definitely broken. I'll have to support it somehow."
"We will have to ditch my board. It's not going to help at all." Bacon nods and goes back under to free her from the strap.
Then she lets go of her board and grabs onto the blue rescue board. The surfboard starts going towards the shore with the waves.
"Alright I'm going to lift you up on here. It's probably going to hurt." He warns.
"Do what you have to do, I'll be fine." Y/N replies. Bacon nods and grabs onto her thighs.
"Push up from my shoulders." Y/N nods and does as directed. She finally gets on the board but the painful part is coming, laying on her stomach and moving the broken extremity around. Bacon helps her get into position and gets on behind her. "I'll try and be as careful as I can." Bacon says and starts paddling.
The rescue is going smooth, until a big wave pops up and wipes them out and onto the reef, making Bacon lose the board, and causing some pretty nasty gashes and scrapes.ย
"Shit! Are you alright?" Bacon asks as he gets over to Y/N.
"Yeah, I'm good. You?" She asks and scoots herself so she's sitting up.
"I'm fine, just lost the board." Bacon notices how pale she's gotten knows he's got to make a decision soon.
Wait for another lifeguard. Or, carry her so she doesn't get hypothermia and go into shock.
He decides to carry her in, so, he puts a arm under her leg and the other around her back. He hoists her up and starts walking, then another wave hits them, and he falls to his knees, but doesn't let go of her.

Bacon and Y/N finally make it to shore and Maxi meets them, while Quinno gets a splint and the green whistle ready.
Y/F/N runs up with Colton in tow.
"Y/N what the hell? Where'd you go?"
"She was stuck out in the surf because your boyfriend ran his board into her leg and left her out there." Bacon snaps.
Colton is definitely on his shit list.
"I was closest to the break dumbass. You don't keep going if I've got the wave."
Bacon and Maxi set Y/N in the back of the rhino. They wrap her in towels and blankets while Quinno gives her the green whistle.
After a few breaths of that Y/N's pain slowly starts to go away and she looks at Bacon.
"You're a good guy. Saving my ass unlike King Dickhead over there."
The boys laugh and Y/N just keeps breathing with the whistle.
"Never thought I'd have to rescue you if I'm being honest." Bacon replies as he sits next to her and puts another blanket around her.
"Right? But at least I was in the right place for what I was doing. Swim between the flags. Not at South Bondi, and in Backpackers Rip. That thing is like a freaking ice cream truck or something, because everyone goes straight to it." Y/N says and uses her hands for exaggeration. All of the boys laugh and agree with her.

Even though the people the boys normally rescue don't show up again, Y/N definitely did, and Bacon got a girlfriend out of it.
