Toni had been feeling like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders ever since he and Ethan told the girls about the curse they had inherited from their mom. He had felt awful burdening them with it but at the same time now they knew they could make sure that they didn’t trigger it. As a dad he wanted nothing more than for their girls to be happy but until the curse was broken he knew that they needed to be careful and he trusted the girls to be sensible about it the same way they were about everything else. Henrik, Hope and Josie were all working on a way to break the curse and from what Henrik had said they were close. They were working on breaking Ben’s curse as well and with any luck their friend would be free from his curse soon enough as well so things were definitely looking up. Add to that the fact that Elias was finally free from the guys who had killed him and Toni’s parents seemed to be warming up to his relationship with Ethan and the truth was that right now he felt pretty lucky. Toni had learned a long time ago not to care about what other people thought and he had tried to make sure that Diego and the kids all learned that same lesson but the truth was that his parents meant a lot to him and he was glad that they were starting to come around. It definitely made working with his dad that much easier and there were a lot less awkward silences around the firehouse than there had been in the past. Work had always been a safe haven for Toni and he knew that it was the same for Ethan so he hadn’t wanted anything to ruin that and fortunately things were getting better. There was something going on at the Salvatore School but the girls and Elias seemed to have it handled given they hadn’t mentioned any details so Toni knew that he had to trust them to ask him and Ethan for help if they needed it. That day hadn’t been as bad as others had been recently, there were still strange things going on in Mystic Falls but Toni had come to realise a long time ago that that was just a part of living there. Lately there had been more calls where people could tell them what had happened but not why and it bothered him but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong. He knew that Tommy was looking into it and Diego was helping him after they’d had a couple of calls to fires where stoves had been left on and no one could tell them who lived in the places they started and Toni was more than happy to leave them to it knowing that they would reach out if they needed help. As it was Diego was out on a call since he was standing in as a paramedic that day and he and Ethan had just got back after their last call so as long as no more came in then they would have a bit of free time to kill before their shift ended. “Are you up for a game of pool?” he asked his husband, knowing that it would be a good way to use their time and a little competition between them was always fun. “I might even take it easy on you this time,” he added, his expression turning playful as he held a cue out to Ethan.

— all he wanted was to receive the love he gave —
Ethan's attention relaxed on Antonio when he tossed the challenge at him and honestly, Ethan wouldn't be himself if he didn't rise up to the challenge with an amused look crossing his features. "Oh, yeah?" Ethan chuckled as he reached for the offered cue which gave his answer on whether or not he was up for a game of pool. "I think that's supposed to be my line." Ethan teased with a small smirk tugging on the corner of his lips.
He moved toward the pool table with a small smile resting on his lips. "You better be ready to lose, tremendously." Ethan rolled his shoulders back as if to get ready before a big match. Ethan knew that things have been rocky for a while now, but the weight of telling the girls had finally been lifted and now it was special moments like these that made a huge difference to Ethan. It felt nice, to be able to enjoy something like this with Antonio again and he knew better than to do anything but cherish these moments. Things have changed lately and while Ethan had been a bit on guard around Toni's dad at first, it wasn't like that anymore and thankfully, he doesn't have to tread around on egg shells around the man after he became their Captain.
And one of the things that have changed was actually Mystic Falls, but then again, Mystic Falls was always changing. There was always something going on with it and while the Alvarez family often stayed out of it, he knew their jobs might end up throwing them right in the middle of it all, especially that last call where they had gone to put out the flames of an apartment that didn't even have any tenants in it according to the landlord and the neighbors. Ethan couldn't stop thinking about it for days after. He came up with all sorts of conspiracy theories and he even deduced that aliens had something to do with it. Or wendigos.
It's always either one of those, right?
But unfortunately, none of his very legit theories ever came true and now it was just another one of Mystic Falls' theories.
Ethan tossed the idea of theories aside and focused back on the current moment. "If you think I'm gonna go easy on you 'cause I love you and you're cute... I'd say you're probably right." Ethan said with a chuckle falling from his lips. "But I'm gonna kick your ass nonetheless."

Working at the firehouse it was impossible to know when the next call was going to come in so Toni didn’t tend to like doing something that he would get too involved in since he would have to drop it the moment the sirens went off. Playing a game of pool with his husband was something that he did like to do when they had the chance, though, and he knew that Ethan did too. Some might think that living together and working together was too much but not Toni, as far as he was concerned he would never be able to spend too much time with Ethan and he knew that wasn’t going to change. “Looks like I beat you to it then,” he teased, a smile working its way across his face as he looked over at his husband. They didn’t have too long left until their shift ended but whether or not they would be able to get away on time depended on whether a call came in. For now they had some free time, though, and a bit of competition never hurt anyone. “Bring it on, you’re going down,” Toni chuckled, shaking his head in amusement as Ethan rolled his shoulders back. He looked like he was taking it pretty seriously but Toni knew that Ethan was just messing around. It had felt like a relief when he had been able to tell Ethan about the curse that ran in the girls’ blood but ever since then Ethan had been carrying it around with him as well. Now the truth was out in the open and Toni felt bad about burdening the girls with it but they seemed to be doing alright and for that Toni was grateful. Things seemed to be better with his dad as well which definitely made things a lot easier. Toni wasn’t sure whether life in Mystic Falls was ever going to be straightforward but it was home. It was the place where he had finally found people who could break the curse the girls were born with, it was where Ethan came back into his life again, it was where they had met Elias, it was where Diego had finally found love and it was also where his parents had started to accept the way their sons’ lives were. Toni hadn’t thought that any one of those things would happen let alone all of them so he knew better than to take any of it for granted. Sure there were still strange things going on like fires breaking out in apartments that didn’t seem to be occupied by anyone but that was Mystic Falls and that was also a worry for another day. “I knew you couldn’t resist my good looks and charm,” Toni joked, his expression turning playful as he looked over at Ethan. “That’s where you’re wrong, babe. I’m going to kick your ass,” he said, making his way over to Ethan and stealing a kiss before racking up the balls. “You can break.”ETHAN ALVAREZ

Ethan narrowed his eyes playfully at his husband. "Oh, so that's how it's gonna be then? Well then, I'll have you know that this is the only thing that you're gonna beat me to tonight." Ethan puffed out his chest, acting like cocky despite the fact that each time he played pool, he lost, quite terribly. Even the lousiest player at pool could still beat Ethan. If you point that out, he will argue that he's skilled at other things and then he will begin listing different activities that he's good at just to preserve his pride and if you investigate further if he's actually good at those activities, you will find that he was just bluffing.
"So you're using them against me? I'm hurt." Ethan dramatically placed his hand on his heart before shaking his head just as dramatically. "But babe, you wouldn't wanna break my heart, would you?" Ethan offered his best puppy eyes in hopes of winning his husband over so he could let him win. "Alright, alright. Watch the pro play." Ethan adjusted the cue stick and hit the cue ball not long after, wincing when he didn't manage to sink a single ball. "Uh, it's the stick, not me. It's too, uh, big. I'm a pro at this, as you know. Anyway, go for it, taking into consideration that if you win tonight, you're sleeping on the couch. No pressure, though." Ethan joked with a grin resting on his lips, watching his husband to see how he'll do.

“You keep telling yourself that,” Toni said, a playful smirk forming on his face as Ethan said that it was the only thing he was going to beat him to that night. He knew that it wasn’t really fair to challenge Ethan to a game of pool since last time Ethan hadn’t done very well at all but the truth was that Toni was planning on taking it easy on his husband that day, he just knew that they could both use something to help them unwind after the day they’d had so far. It had been a busy shift and there had been more calls to things that just didn’t make sense. Something strange was going on in Mystic Falls, that was for sure, but Toni knew that that in itself wasn’t unusual. There always seemed to be something going on in the town and if he wasn’t affecting him and Ethan directly then it was affecting the kids. There was a part of Toni that wondered whether they should perhaps take the kids and move somewhere safer but at the end of the day they were supernatural so it was never going to be completely safe for them anywhere. Mystic Falls was their home and the kids were settled just like he and Ethan were so Toni knew that he didn’t have the heart to have them all move before they had to. Being immortal meant that eventually people would start to realise they weren’t getting any older but they still had some time left before that and Toni wanted to make the most of it. “Mhmm. More like you’re hurt you didn’t think of it first,” Toni chuckled, knowing that it would be just like his husband to use his looks and charm against him. Even now there were still times when Toni couldn’t believe just how good his life had turned out to be and this was definitely one of those times. “Not the puppy dog eyes, that’s not fair,” he groaned. He always had a hard time resisting those and Ethan knew it. It was a dirty tactic but Toni knew that chances were it would end up working. “I’ve got to see this,” he teased, leaning against his cue as he watched Ethan take his shot. It was a decent break but Ethan didn’t manage to pot any of the balls and it was Toni’s turn to pretend to be hurt when Ethan said that he would be sleeping on the couch if he won. “And here I was thinking you loved me and didn’t like sleeping alone,” he said, his hand on his heart in mock hurt as he spoke even though he knew Ethan was just joking before a smile broke out on his face as he took his first shot. Sinking a ball, he tried for another but it hit the corner of the pocket and didn’t go in which meant that it was Ethan’s turn once more. ETHAN ALVAREZ

"Oh, no, no, even better, I'm gonna show you." Ethan added with a cocky little smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, his eyes relaxing on Antonio as he said that, his shoulders lifting and dropping in a quick shrug. Yup, he was absolutely sure that he was going to win. But beyond that cocky façade, he knew all too well that he was most definitely going to lose. He wasn't that good at playing pool and only ever played when boredom struck or his husband asked him to. "Okay, yeah, a little bit." Ethan revealed with a chuckle falling from his lips when Antonio pointed out that he was hurt because he hadn't thought of it first. "It would have been a guaranteed win if I had used them first." Ethan tsked and shook his head, pretending to be real disappointed.
"What puppy dog eyes? I don't know what you're talking about." Ethan innocently asked, though he was still giving his husband that look, his expression as innocent as ever despite the fact that he was playing dirty. "Life's not fair, baby." Ethan added a moment later with a grin tugging at the corner of his lips already.
Ethan cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head when he didn't manage to pot any of the balls. "This game is rigged, obviously." Ethan made up a false excuse despite knowing that the only reason he hadn't managed to pot any of the balls was because he sucked. "Yeah, you're right, but, there's nothin' wrong with playing dirty every once in a while." Ethan watched in feigned offense when Antonio managed to sink a ball, though when he tried to sink the other, it didn't work out. Ethan grinned as he adjusted his cue to hit one of the balls, hoping to score anything but he still ended up missing. He lowered his head with a groan and leaned back before making a gesture for Antonio to go ahead. "I'm just goin' easy on you, that's all."

“Is that so?” Toni chuckled, a smile touching his lips as he looked over at his husband. Now this he had to see. He knew that Ethan wasn’t that good at pool but it was a good way of blowing off some steam between calls and that was something that he was pretty sure they both needed right now. They both knew that Ethan was only messing around but if he was honest it was so good to see Ethan joking like this. Over the last few years they’d had so much weighing down on their shoulders, they’d had the girls’ curse and everything that was going on with Elias and now they still had the threat of an angel who wanted to kill everyone who was supernatural hanging over them but within these walls they could forget about all of that while they were at work at least. “I knew it,” he teased as Ethan said he was more hurt that he hadn’t thought of it first. “You’re right, it would. You know I can’t resist you,” he said, closing the distance between them and stealing a kiss. Ethan was one of his weaknesses and Toni knew it. “You know exactly what I’m talking about,” he said as Ethan put on the innocent act when Toni called him out on using the puppy dog eyes on him. “You’re evil,” he chuckled, shaking his head in amusement as Ethan said that life wasn’t fair. They had both learned that the hard way when Ethan had died and they had spent decades thinking that they were never going to see each other again. Thankfully this was nowhere near as bad as that but Toni still knew that he was going to have to find a way to get back at his husband later. “Just you wait, two can play at that game,” he said, knowing that he would come up with something hopefully when Ethan least expected it. “Obviously,” Toni agreed, knowing that it wouldn’t hurt to go along with it. “Mhmm, I’ll remember that,” Toni nodded. “Keep this up and you might end up sleeping on the couch tonight,” he teased, knowing that he wouldn’t actually go through with that. It had been difficult enough sleeping without Ethan on their wedding night so Toni knew that he didn’t want to go through that again if he could help it. He had spent far too long without Ethan in his life and now that he was back Toni knew that he didn’t want to go without him again. They had started sharing the same bed the day they got together and he knew that he wouldn’t want to change that. Deliberately missing his second shot, Toni watched as Ethan took another shot and ended up missing. “I know you are babe,” he said, lining up another shot and potting one of the balls. Lining up another shot, this time he had it get close but deliberately missed again to give Ethan a chance. “You’ve got this.”ETHAN ALVAREZ
