Toni knew that he should probably be angry with Ethan for risking his life like that but the truth was that he wasn’t. He knew exactly why Ethan had gone back in there even after they had all been given the order to leave, he had wanted to make sure that the kid got out safely and he had wanted to make sure that the kid’s mom didn’t end up losing what was left of her family after she had already lost her husband. He had felt so scared when the floor had given way underneath Ethan and he had disappeared from view but he was safe now so the truth was that all Toni felt was relief. It would take Ethan time to heal but he was safe and he had done what he had set out to do so Toni really was proud of him. Toni knew that he could have ended up losing his job for going in there after Ethan but he was his husband and Toni knew that there was no way that he would have been able to stay outside while the rest of the house collapsed around Ethan. There wasn’t anything that Toni wouldn’t do for him and he felt a smile touch his lips as Ethan said that he knew that. “I just kept thinking about what it would have been like if things were different and it was you or one of our kids in there. I would have wanted to know that those on the scene did everything they could to save them,” he admitted. He knew that they would be fine considering that they were all supernatural but if they were human then it would be a completely different story and he would have needed to know that they had tried. Kids were always a sore point on calls, that was the way that it had always been and he had a feeling that that wasn’t going to change. “That would probably be a good idea babe,” Toni nodded, reaching out and giving Ethan’s hand a gentle squeeze. He really did hate seeing Ethan in pain but he kept reminding himself that it wouldn’t last too long and that Ethan would be back to normal in no time. He would have to stay off work longer to keep up the pretence that he was human but he would be fine and for that Toni was truly grateful. “Good thing I like it and you can be just as romantic when you want to be,” he grinned. He hadn’t forgotten the way that Ethan had taken it upon himself to plan their wedding and it really had been a perfect day. Toni knew that he had never been like this around anyone else before and he knew that it was the same for Ethan as well. They were literally made for each other and it felt right to know that they were only like this around each other. Their friends teased them about it sometimes and so did Diego, joking that they were still in their honeymoon phase, but Toni loved it and he wanted it to continue for as long as possible. “Don’t worry, you’ll be back on the job before you know it,” he assured Ethan, the way Ethan had stuttered making it clear that he wasn’t particularly looking forward to the time at home and that was something that Toni remembered all too well since he’d been the same way. “You made it better for me when I had to stay home and I’ll try and do the same for you.” He had still found himself itching to get back to work as soon as he could but Ethan had made sure that he hadn’t lost his mind and Toni planned on doing the same for his husband. Watching the exchange between Ethan and their captain, Toni couldn’t help but laugh as Ethan asked if it was too easy for a running joke and he rolled his eyes playfully. “I think so,” he teased. “Come on, let’s get you home.” He supported most of Ethan’s weight as they headed to the ambulance and again when they headed into the house and Toni couldn’t help but laugh once more as Ethan spoke again. “Don’t worry, I know what you meant,” he chuckled. “We did make something good come out of it and I’m glad about that. I still hate that you all went through that but it gave us the kick we needed to admit how we feel.” Toni had been trying to come to terms with what he felt for Ethan before that ever since Ela had mentioned that she’d thought that they were together but it was only when he thought that he might not get to see any of them again that he’d realised that he was being stupid by wasting time. It had had the same effect on Ethan too and the rest was history. “You’re going to be fine, just give it some time,” he said gently even though he knew that would no doubt be easier said than done. Toni knew that he could have lied to Ethan about what would have happened if he had died in the house but they had both promised that they would always be honest with each other and he had known that hiding the truth really wouldn’t have done any good. Seeing the frown on Ethan’s face was enough to have Toni hold his husband to him a little tighter and his expression softened as Ethan said that it would have been a disaster. “It wouldn’t have been great but we would have made it work either way,” Toni assured him gently. “We all have lives here but this family is what is important so it doesn’t matter where we end up, we’ll stay together no matter what.” There wasn’t a doubt in his mind about that, the kids loved Ethan and he knew that they would have wanted to go too if they’d had to move away. They could have stayed at the Salvatore School and either travelled in or boarded there depending on where they had moved to but either way they would have sorted something out. At some point when the kids were older he knew that they might decide to move away like he had done from his own parents but he wanted to keep them all together for as long as possible. “I’m glad you didn’t too, I can’t stand the thought of anything happening to you,” he said, a half smile touching his lips as Ethan kissed his arm. “I love you.”ETHAN ALVAREZ

when you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire
I just kept thinking about what it would have been like if things were different and it was you or one of our kids in there. I would have wanted to know that those on the scene did everything they could to save them,
Ethan nodded his head in agreement with Toni on that. "I know Captain has the expertise, and he made that decision knowing full well that it would be too dangerous for us to go in there and I know he was looking out for us, but I wanted to at least try to save that kid. I wanted to be able to say that I have done everything I could to save him." It nearly cost him his life, momentarily, but he didn't seem to have any regrets deep down. He still felt awful for worrying Toni, though.
That would probably be a good idea babe, Good thing I like it and you can be just as romantic when you want to be, You made it better for me when I had to stay home and I’ll try and do the same for you.
Ethan forced himself to stay still to avoid causing himself any more pain. He knew that the pain won't last for long and he was definitely quite lucky about that because if he had been a normal human, he would've been rushed to the hospital already. Ethan's eyes softened when Toni told him that he made things better for him when he was staying at home to heal after the cave collapsed with him still inside. "You won't even have to try, Toni. Seeing you will be enough for me." Ethan added a moment later with a grin locked on his lips, his eyes focused solely on his husband.
I think so, Come on, let’s get you home. Don’t worry, I know what you meant, We did make something good come out of it and I’m glad about that. I still hate that you all went through that but it gave us the kick we needed to admit how we feel. You’re going to be fine, just give it some time,
"You were right. He's totally immune to my cute side." Ethan said with a shake of his head following, his eyes relaxing on his teammate not long after who added that they were all immune to it except for Toni. Well then. Ethan offered them a smile and said 'I love you too' before they fondly rolled their eyes in unison. Ethan really had no idea they could be in sync to that level. Wow. "Okay." Ethan was eager to go home and get past today because it really has been quite a day.
Ethan was glad that Toni thought the same thing, too. "Yeah, I can't believe it took you almost dying for me to admit my feelings for you. It definitely gave me the push I need and the courage, too." Ethan said with a brief chuckle falling from his lips not long after. "I know." There was a soft smile on his lips as he said that. He had no doubt that he'll get better, all thanks to his quick healing.
It wouldn’t have been great but we would have made it work either way, We all have lives here but this family is what is important so it doesn’t matter where we end up, we’ll stay together no matter what. I’m glad you didn’t too, I can’t stand the thought of anything happening to you, I love you.
"Yeah, you're right." Ethan said with a gentle smile forming on his lips. "I'm glad we don't have to do any of that, though. Diego finally has someone in his life and our kids have a good life here. So do we. We have friends and our work, too. It would really suck to abandon all that and leave." Ethan was relieved he had survived the whole ordeal. "I'm okay." Ethan assured his husband in a gentle voice, leaning down to leave a gentle kiss on his arm again. "I love you too." Ethan said in a soft voice, his eyes fluttering shut as he allowed himself a moment to just enjoy Toni's warm embrace. "This is nice." Ethan said with a half-smile resting on his lips.
"We do smell like smoke, though." He pointed out not long after with a chuckle falling from his lips. "But I think I'll take a nap. M'too tired."

“I knew that was why you had to go in there and I think the others did too, it’s just that none of us wanted you to get hurt or worse in the process,” Toni nodded. He knew that that was why their captain had told them to get out of there and not go back in, it was their job to save lives but their captain was also responsible for all of theirs and Toni could definitely understand why he hadn’t felt like he could risk it. He had understood when Toni had said that he was going in there after Ethan, though, although Toni knew that he really would have gone in after Ethan even without their captain’s blessing. Ethan was his husband and it went both ways, if either of them was ever in danger then the other would be there to pull them out of it. Toni knew that it wasn’t going to be easy for Ethan to take it easy at home while his body healed, after all he could still remember how difficult it had been for him to do that after he’d ended up getting hurt. Neither of them was very good at not doing anything but Ethan had made it easier for him and Toni was grateful to him for that. He knew that he would have gone crazy being stuck at home without Ethan there looking out for him so Toni knew that it was time that he did the same thing for his husband. “You’re such a smooth talker,” Toni grinned as Ethan said that just seeing him would be enough. “I’m going to stay with you the whole time just like you did for me, I promise.” Ethan had done that for him so Toni knew that he wanted to do the same for Ethan now. “They’re not wrong, I think your cute side does only work on me,” Toni chuckled. He could never stay mad at Ethan even if he wanted to and that was the way that it had always been, he always caved and forgave him and now Toni knew that now wasn’t any different. He’d meant it when he’d said that he had understood why Ethan had risked his life like that and he really was proud of him for that but he couldn’t deny that he was glad that he had the chance to take Ethan home so that he could recover rather than trying to find a way to explain away the fact that Ethan had died in the fire or find a way to make them forget. “It did the same for me, I was too worried about losing you altogether before that and it was only after I almost lost you anyway that I realised it was worth the risk,” he admitted. Even then it had still been Ethan who had been the one to work up the courage to come clean about how he felt first but ever since then they had been figuring things out together and he knew that he wouldn’t have it any other way. “It would,” Toni agreed as Ethan said that it would have sucked for them all to have to leave the lives they had built behind. “I guess we both need to start being more careful from now on.” It was easy to get caught up in the moment and forget about everything else but Toni knew that they needed to start remembering that they needed to act more human to avoid drawing attention to themselves. He knew that Ethan would have still gone into the fire again even if he was human but if he had died then it would have complicated things for all of them and that was something that they couldn’t afford to have happen. “I know. I’m so glad you were,” Toni admitted a smile touching his lips as Ethan kissed his arm before saying that he loved him too. They both went quiet after that, just enjoying being together, and Toni nodded as Ethan said that it was nice. “It is. We should do this more often,” he said gently. Normally they had the kids and Diego to think about and even though they made sure to spend plenty of time together the truth was that Toni couldn’t remember the last time that they had been able to just lay down and cuddle like this. “Yeah, I guess there is that,” he chuckled as Ethan pointed out that they smelled like smoke. “We should probably do something about that soon but for now that sounds like a good idea,” he nodded as Ethan said that he was going to take a nap. “Do you want me to stay or would you like me to give you some space?” he asked, knowing that right now he would do whatever Ethan needed him to do.

They’re not wrong, I think your cute side does only work on me, It did the same for me, I was too worried about losing you altogether before that and it was only after I almost lost you anyway that I realised it was worth the risk,
Ethan nodded his head with a gentle smile tugging on his lips. He knew that Toni would be the one who gets him the most. Going on, Ethan knew the risks when he first went but he was counting a lot on his powers to save his ass. Though he never meant to worry Toni so much. He never meant to remind him of the past, of how he had lost him right before his eyes. It was already too late to regret his own actions now, so he would just have to do with working hard to make it up for his husband. “I know, baby.” He said in a soft voice when Toni told him that they just didn’t want him to get hurt or face a fate worse than that. Ethan was definitely relieved that he didn’t die, though. That would have sucked. Big time. Ethan’s lips stretched into a grin when Toni called him a smooth talker. “No, hey, look, you don’t have to do that, okay? You don’t have to forget about yourself for your sake. Promise me that you will take care of yourself, too, okay?” He didn’t want Toni to spend the next couple of weeks/months worrying about him relentlessly. He wanted Toni to pay attention to himself, too.
Ethan whispered ‘damn’ under his breath when he came to the realization that his teammates were all immune to his cute side, except for his husband, of course. “That’s so unfair, I’m pretty adorable, how could they resist this face?” Ethan pointed to his own face before he shook his head. “So unfair.” He added a moment later with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. Well, as long as it worked on Toni, he wasn’t going to complain about it for long. “Yeah, exactly. It’s the push we both needed to get our feelings out in the open. It was still a very stressful period of my life. So, let’s definitely not do that again.” Ethan said with a brief chuckle falling from his lips.
It would, I guess we both need to start being more careful from now on. I know. I’m so glad you were, It is. We should do this more often, Yeah, I guess there is that, We should probably do something about that soon but for now that sounds like a good idea, Do you want me to stay or would you like me to give you some space?
Ethan nodded his head in agreement with Toni when he said that they both need to start being more careful from now on. “Amen to that.” He said with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. “You mean, me getting injured?” Ethan teased when Toni said that they should do this more often. “I’m just kidding, baby. Yeah, we should do this more often. I’d really love that.”
Ethan released a small sound of complaint when Toni said that they should probably do something about the smell of smoke lingering on them. “What do you mean, I love the smell of smoke,” Ethan said with a cheeky smile resting on his lips. “You can stay with me, baby. Unless you wanna do something else, it’s completely up to you.” Ethan assured him in a soft voice. “I just don’t want you to feel like you have to stay with me. I’ll be okay, I promise. I’m already starting to heal.” Ethan assured him once again, letting him know that he was already starting to feel better.

It had been a while since Ethan had come back into his life and Toni had thought that he had set aside the fear of losing him again but it had reared its ugly head again that day. It had been a long time since he had last felt that scared and even though he knew that Ethan would resurrect if he did die Toni still knew that it wasn’t something that he wanted his husband to go through. Toni had spent decades believing that he would never get to see Ethan again after the guy died but things were different now and he was glad about that but he still didn’t want Ethan to end up in that position again if they could help it. “You have a lot of people who care about you now,” Toni said, offering Ethan a smile as his eyes met his husband’s. The whole team cared about Ethan and he knew that none of them had wanted him to get hurt. At Ethan spoke again, Toni’s expression softened. “I’m fine, I promise. You don’t need to worry about me,” Toni assured him. “You’re the one who got hurt, of course I want to take care of you,” he added gently. Ethan was his husband and Toni wanted to be there for him to make sure that he was alright. “You are adorable but somehow they can resist anyway,” Toni chuckled, rolling his eyes playfully as Ethan said that it was unfair. He knew that it would take their captain time to forgive Ethan for disobeying orders and going back in there they way he had done but at the end of the day their team was a family and he knew that they would get there eventually. “I’m not planning on it. I never want any of us to go through that again,” he admitted. Ethan and the girls had spent the night thinking that he was dead and even now Toni still hated that they’d gone through that. It wasn’t any better for him as he hadn’t known if he would even make it out of the cave let alone home to the people he loved but he had done and he knew that he didn’t want anything like that to ever happen again. One thing Toni knew for sure was that they needed to start being more careful. It was one thing then they’d only had themselves to worry about when they’d met during the war but now they had the kids and Toni knew that he didn’t want any of them to go through the pain of losing one of them. Truth be told he wasn’t sure that he would survive losing Ethan again either so he knew that he wanted to make sure that nothing like that happened. “You do that often enough as it is,” Toni teased as Ethan said about him getting injured more often. He could be quite accident prone when he wanted to be especially if he was in the kitchen so Toni knew that Ethan definitely didn’t need more of that. “Same here,” he said, leaning forward and pressing a gentle kiss to Ethan’s lips as he said he would love to do this more often. “You might but I’m sure the kids don’t and they’ll want to see you soon,” he chuckled, rolling his eyes playfully at his husband. As Ethan spoke again, Toni let his hand rest against Ethan’s cheek gently. “I’m never with you because I feel like I have to. I’m here because I want to be,” he assured him. Toni could still remember how much of a mess he was after he’d ended up getting hurt but Ethan had been there to help him through it and now Toni wanted to do the same for his husband. ETHAN ALVAREZ

when you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire
Ethan felt a soft smile form on his lips as he listened to Toni. “I really am the luckiest man alive.” He said with the same smile resting on his lips. His life really did change a lot. He went from having no one in his life who cared for him to Toni, and then after his death and his appearance back in Toni’s life, he had Ela and Eli, then Elias and Diego. They were all so loving and they erased any traces of loneliness he had ever felt in the past. Ethan had been so worried in the past about ending up alone and unloved, but Ethan no longer worried about that sort of thing. How could he worry about that when he had a beautiful family to go back home to. Ethan’s eyes scanned over Toni’s features before he slowly nodded his head. “You’ll tell me if you don’t feel fine, right?” Ethan’s eyes were prodding into Toni’s own. Ethan’s eyes softened at Toni’s next words before he let out a soft chuckle. “Okay, baby. You can take care of me.” Ethan offered Toni’s hand a gentle squeeze to showcase his gratitude for having Toni in his life.
Ethan only pouted at that and shook his head to voice his displeasure at the fact that his team resisted his cuteness so ruthlessly. Well, as long as it works on Toni, he probably shouldn’t be that upset. “That’s a big relief,” Ethan said with a soft sigh falling from his lips. “You mean the world to me.” Losing Toni would shatter his entire world and it honestly scared him to bits.
Ethan gasped at that as he pointed at himself. “Woah— Woah, hey now, I don’t…” He trailed off as he thought back to a couple of incidents that he’s had so far in the kitchen and pressed his lips together into a thin line. “Okay, I see what you mean by that. But I’ve only had minor injuries, so those don’t count.” Ethan relented a moment or so later before he let out a chuckle when Toni told him that the girls won’t like the smell of smoke coming off of him in waves. “That’s a very good point. I do smell like a fireplace on Christmas eve.” Ethan wrinkled his nose, knowing that he’ll have to get up and shower soon enough.
Ethan’s eyes slowly moved up to rest on his husband’s, his smile coming back to his lips when Toni assured him that he was here with him because he wanted to be and not because he felt like he had to. Ethan replied by leaning forward to press his lips gently against Toni’s. “I love you,” Ethan whispered against his lips before he pressed another kiss on Toni’s lips then Ethan brought himself closer to Toni’s embrace where he allowed himself to simply relax there and get lost in the warmth of his hug where he eventually fell asleep.

“You got that right,” Toni said, a smile forming on his face in return as he looked over at Ethan. He knew that Ethan hadn’t had the easiest upbringing, his parents had never really known how to love their own son and that had resulted in Ethan doing everything he could in order to gain their approval, including fighting in the war. That was how the two of them met and Toni was glad they had done as his life had been forever changed that day but he couldn’t deny that he wished Ethan’s parents had been different. Ethan had spent such a long time trying to please them and he had ended up believing that his own life wasn’t worth a lot. Toni knew that he would never forgive Ethan’s parents for making him feel that way and he had been doing everything he could in order to make sure that Ethan knew that he deserved everything that he had now and so much more. “I will, I promise,” Toni assured him, his smile turning gentle as Ethan said that he could take care of him. “Thank you,” Toni said, lifting their joined hands and pressing a light kiss to his husband’s knuckles. “You know the kids are going to want to take care of you too, right?” he asked, remembering what it had been like for him when he was hurt and knowing that it would be the same for Ethan now. Ethan’s next words were enough to have Toni’s smile returning and he felt his heart skip a beat. “You mean the world to me too,” he admitted gently. “I already lost you once, I’m not doing that again.” Once had been bad enough. Now they had their whole lives ahead of them and Toni wanted to share all of that with Ethan. “Oh, they count,” Toni chuckled as Ethan said that minor injuries didn’t count. “There’s a reason why we keep a fire extinguisher and first aid kit in the kitchen,” he teased, unable to resist now that Ethan seemed to be getting better before his very eyes. “You do but I actually quite like it,” he admitted. The smell of smoke had never bothered Toni though which was quite lucky considering they both ended up heading home smelling like smoke a lot of the time. Either way there was no place that he would rather be than where he was right now and he felt a smile touch his lips as Ethan kissed him. “I love you too,” he said as he kissed Ethan back before wrapping his arms a little tighter around his husband as Ethan moved closer to him. Eventually Ethan fell asleep and Toni pressed a light kiss to the top of Ethan’s head. “Sleep well baby,” he said, staying where he was to make sure that he didn’t disturb Ethan and letting his own eyes drift shut.
