First Time Dropping The "L Bomb"

Landry:

-Didn't expect that AT ALL

-He was hammering away on a new project and you were about to leave when you shouted it over your shoulder

-This MORON missed and hammered his FINGER instead of the fucking nail

-Was "ow ow ow" ing the entire time while you fussed over him

-Was red in the face from pain, embarrassment, and other things 

-Managed to say "I love you too" afterward

Hayes:

-PDA ALERT! PDA ALERT!

-He was sipping his coffee when you shouted it over your shoulder as you were leaving

-Spit it out and chocked from shock and pure embarrassment

-Scared the SHIT out of you and you ran into the room and whacked him on the back until he stopped coughing

-He assured you he was fine but was still blushing

-Said a stuttery "Love you too" after

Finley:

-Took her a while but-

-She was casually gaming on her phone when you called it over her shoulder as you were leaving

-She responded with a "Love you too!" but wasn't fully paying attention so she didn't "get" it

-She continued to not get it till five minutes later when you had already left. She then dropped her phone on her face and screamed at Reese to go get you

-"Why do I have to get that stupid snuggle slut!?"

-"CAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS TALK AND I'M NOT DOING IT AS A CAT!"

Mason:

-"Wait a minute-!" *BANG!*

-Was carrying a bunch of heavy boxes to the backroom when you shouted it before you left

-Caught her off guard and she slammed dead center into a wall

-Said a singular "Ouch" as you freaked the fuck out and fussed over her

-Calmly said she was okay as you scrambled to pick everything up

-Kisses you on the cheek when she exits and says "Love you"

Reese:

-Well, he wasn't prepared for that!

-He was kinda just chilling on the couch when you shouted it over your shoulder as you were leaving the cafe 

-You shocked him so bad he fell off the couch and faceplanted into the carpet

-As you flipped your lid, he couldn't get a single intelligent sounding word out

-Ended up burying his face in your shoulder and letting out a noise that sounded embarrassed, frustrated, and confused all at once

-Manages to say what sounded like "Love you too stupid..."

Graves:

-Paralysis. Legit. Paralysis. The man looked like a damn STATUE

-It only happened because Finley demanded you tell him after you accidentally let it slip that you hadn't yet

-You didn't know how the hell to do it so you literally just screamed "I LOVE YOU!" while his back was turned

-You swear to God he froze! This caused you to think you had broken him and you nearly had a panic attack

-Quickly regained his composure and said he loved you too
