I was working on this prompt 'secretly married' by @buddiedrabbles for waaaay to long, so I'm finally posting it now as just a drabble. Maybe one day I'll finish the extended version.
Warning for Eddie whump and mild gore.
āHey, come āere.ā
āStop moving, damn it.ā Hen admonished, rapidly adding more gauze to pack the wound in his side. Bobby was yelling into a radio, desperately directing another aid car to their location. A slow-burning office fire hadnāt been the cause of too much worry, until an unused storage room containing leftover gas and combustibles had exploded as Buck and Eddie swept the floor. Eddie had moved before Buck could react, tackling Buck and taking the brunt of the impact.
āBuck, sāwhereāsbuckā¦ā Eddie slurred, his side an oozing mess and eyeās dilated.
āHeās here, Chimās got him.ā
āIām okay, Eddie. You gotta stay still.ā Buck limped over to where they had laid Eddie on a backboard, Chim hurrying to Henās side to help stabilize Eddie.
āIāve gotta tell you Buck-ā
āNo, you gotta stay quiet baby, theyāre sending another aid car. Just hang on.ā Buck placed one hand gently ontop of Eddieās hand, one of the few places that remained unharmed.
āI need to tell you, please, Buck-ā Eddie choked, gagging and spitting up blood before he could finish his sentence.
āI already know, Eddie, donāt- donāt do this. Youāre gonna be fine.ā
Eddie sighed, closing his eyes momentarily as Buck and Chim lifted the backboard onto a gurney. They could hear sirens in the distance, hoping the sound meant Bobby had managed to find an available aid car.
Eddie grabbed onto Buckās hand again, his grip loose. āI love you.ā
Buck swallowed, tears threatening to fall as Hen and Chim studiously avoided looking at him as they monitored Eddieās vitals.
āAnd I love you.ā
Eddie grinned a little, teeth shiny with blood. āAnd I want you to know-ā
āStop it, Eddie, youāre gonna be fine.ā Buck shook his head, tears falling in earnest now.
ā-ām so glad I got to marry you.ā
āWhat?ā Chim interjected, Hen and Bobby wearing matching looks of stunned silence.
āBest-ā Eddie choked again, wheezing as more blood dripped from his mouth. āBest decision I ever made.ā
Buck laughed wetly. āYou arenāt getting out of this that easily. Youāve been shot four times, you can handle one little explosion. You canāt make me widower; I haven't taken out an insurance policy on you yet.ā
Eddie snorted, wincing in pain. āRookie mistake.ā
Buck kissed his hand as the aid car approached. He turned to Bobby, Hen, and Chim. āUm, Iām gonna ride with him.ā
Bobby nodded. āOf course, weāre right behind you.āBuck hovered as they loaded Eddie, climbing in after him. He wanted to tell them something, anything, like āwe were going to tell youā or āitās only been a few monthsā but he and Eddie had wanted to tell them together, so he bit his tongue and focused all his attention on his injured husband.
I wrote this for the @buddiedrabbles prompt "shut up, i'm not jealous". I posted the Buck version yesterday; this is the version where Eddie's jealous. You can read it under the cut or find it on AO3.

Characters: Evan "Buck" Buckley; Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV)
Additional Tags: Drabble; Jealous Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV); Pining Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV); First Kiss
Summary:
Buck tilts his head the way he always does when flirting; Eddie canāt see his face but he can picture it perfectly. The woman heās flirting with is smiling, tilting her head up at him; her bodyās fully turned towards him and away from her friends. Sheās into it. Of course, she is.
Eddie finishes his beer and stands, goes to the bar to pay their tab.
If this turns into a real relationship, heāll be there, supportive as always, but heās not gonna sit through this. Heās not going to put himself through that pain.
Heās broken enough already.
Eddieās barely made it out of the bar when Buck catches up to him with quick steps. He keeps walking, doesnāt turn around.
āHey, Eddie, is everything okay? Where are you going?ā
āHome.ā The replyās too curt for his own taste. He grimaces. āHave fun tonight.ā
āWait, Eddie, whatāā Buck grabs his arm and pulls him to a stop. āAre youā are you jealous?ā
āShut up, Iām not jealous.ā
He is. God help him, he is.
Buck stares and stares and stares and stares.
Eddie tugs his arm free. Buck lets him. He also cups his jaw and kisses him.
I wrote this for the @buddiedrabbles prompt "shut up, i'm not jealous". I wasn't sure whether to do it with Buck jealous or with Eddie, so I decided to do both. The Jealous Eddie drabble should be up in the next couple of days. You can find this one under the cut or on AO3.
People flirt with them on calls all the time. Buck doesnāt know why this one hits him harder than others. Eddie doesnāt even react any differently than he usually does, rejecting the advances firmly but politely and keeping his focus on the emergency at hand.
But Buck feels restless, something buzzing under his skin uncomfortably, and of course, Eddie notices. This one time, Eddie notices.
āAre youāā he starts, eyebrows knitting together and a smile slowly forming on his face. āBuck, are you jealous? Seriously?ā
Buckās cheeks burn, and he turns away from his best friend to hide it.
āBuck.ā
āShut up,ā Buck says, but he lets Eddie match his step, lets their shoulders and elbows collide together like they always do when they walk this close, āIām not jealous.ā
Eddie huffs a laugh, genuinely amused by the whole thing. āOkay. If you say so. Just donāt break my ankle this time.ā
āIām not jealous!ā Buck insists.
āGood, ācause you donāt have competition.ā
Buck snorts. āI know Iām hot, but you are too. Very.ā
Eddie huffs, āThanks, Buck. But thatās not what I meant.ā
Eddie keeps walking; Buck freezes and stares. āWhāwhatā What did you mean?ā
prompts: āshut up, iām not jealousā / sleep talking

Eddie starts noticing things heās never really noticed before. Like, Tommy only ever calls Buck āEvan,ā like itās some kind of nickname or cutesy pet name or term of endearment.
More than making him feel crazy, itās starting to actively piss him off. He objectively and rationally knows he has little reason to be pissedābut therapy has taught him that his feelings are what they are and to let himself feel them.
So, for some reason Eddie canāt figure out, Eddie is pissed āat himself, at Tommy, at Buck. Mostly at himself lately, but also at God.
Heās not even sure if he believes in God, which adds to his unmoored frustration.
āUnmoored.ā That sounds like a Buck word. It sounds like a homework-vocab work heād have gone over with Christopher, and that pisses Eddie off too, that everything is neglecting Christopher right now.
So Eddie does something stupid. He starts following around a woman who looks like his late wife.
:-:-:-:
Itās not like Kim deserves thisāsheās actually pretty great, all things consideredābut the resemblance is uncanny. And Eddie needs healing, by hood or by crook.
And thereās another weird phrase that his self-examination canāt reconcileājust like he canāt reconcile why heās following Kim around like a kicked puppy. To her credit, sheās very kind, and sheās subjectively his type, if Shannon is any real precedent.
But Eddie is starting to think sheās not. Heās starting to think heās gay.
:-:-:-:
āIs Buckaroo joining today?ā Chimney asks, spinning a basketball on one finger.
āHow do I know?ā Eddie snaps without thinking. āIām not his keeper.ā
āWhoa, Eddie,ā Chimney says, catching the ball mid-spin. āI didnāt mean anything by it.ā
āI just meanāTommy would know, right? Better than me.ā
āYouāre still his best friend, Eddie.ā
But maybe thatās part of why Eddie is pissed, because he barely feels like Buckās friend anymore, and he really wants so much more.

Additional Tags: Drabble; Getting Together; First Kiss; Pet Names; Evan "Buck" Buckley Speaks Spanish; But only a little
Summary:
Itās easier in Spanish. Buck doesnāt look closely as to why. He texts his friends from Peru ā the native Spanish speakers ā looks things up online, makes his little list, asks those friends to check said list to make sure itās all correct.
On their next shift, he puts his plan into action.
āHey, cariƱo, can you pass me the saws?ā at a call.
āReady to go, guapo,ā after checking Eddieās harness before a rope rescue.
āHere, corazĆ³n,ā when handing Eddie coffee after he fails to sleep during downtime.
Eddie gives him a weird look every time, but never says anything.
Theyāre the last ones to leave the station at the end of the shift. Buck ties his shoes while Eddie slips his jacket on; itās all business as usual.
This time, the pet name is a genuine slip of the tongue.
āHey, amor, maybe we can get breakfastāā
Eddie interrupts, āAre you flirting with me?ā
Buck freezes. āMaybe? I meanā Yes. Yeah, I am.ā
Eddie stares for long enough that Buck is surprised when he crosses the gap between them and pulls him into a kiss. Buck is not complaining.
āBreakfast, you said?ā Eddie asks. Buck nods. Ā āItās a date.ā
prompts: āare you flirting with me?ā / pet names

It was late one Friday night and Buck and Eddie were hanging out together at Buckās loft. Chris was off at a sleepover with his friends, so Eddie had made his way to hang out with his own best friend.
āOh come on Eddie, you canāt tell me that this isnāt cool!ā Buck said as he moved around the kitchen. He was in the process of making dinner while Eddie sat at the table, beer in hand. āBuck, as much as I love the thoughts that come out of your head, Iām really starting to think your phone needs parental controls to prevent these late night Wikipedia binges.ā Eddie teased, pointing his beer at Buck.
āReincarnation Eddie! Think about it!ā Buck set a plate of pasta in front of Eddie before sitting down with his own plate. āBuck, pretty boy, my best friend. You know I donāt believe in that stuff.ā
Buckās brain seemingly shorted out at that one.
āYou called me pretty boy.ā Buck said, pointing a finger at Eddie. āAre youā¦flirting with me?ā Eddie only smirked and took a sip of his beer. āUp to your interpretation Buckley.ā
āWeāllā¦talk about this after dinner.ā Buck took a sip of his own beer, a red flush high upon his cheeks.

The longer it goes on, the more ridiculous it gets. Eddieās imagination goes rampant , re-thinking and re-doing every damn interaction with Buck heās ever had.
He would have asked him out for coffee within a week, if only heād known. He would have hugged him a little bit harder that first time, if only heād had his shit together. Heād haveāheād have kissed Buck after seeing he was safe from the tsunami, from the lightning strike, from his blood clot.
Heād have kissed him good-bye and hello every chance heād had, if only heād known.

Summary:
The 118ās resident Dalmatian ā their probie Buck ā has been in a terrible mood over the past couple of weeks. He does his job just fine, but the atmosphere around the station is tense; no one knows what to do about it, and Buckās remarkably tight-lipped about whateverās bothering him.
Henās instantly on edge when a stranger walks into the station wearing Army clothes and his left arm in a sling. She raises her eyebrows when he asks for an Evan Buckley.
āEddie?ā Buckās voice sounds both heartbroken and ecstatic.
And then, heās pulling the stranger into a bruising hug.
Eddie hisses in pain; Hen winces sympathetically. Buck tries to pull away at the sound, but Eddie immediately pulls him back into the same tight hug. They exchange quiet words that Hen canāt hear. Their hugās followed by an equally bruising kiss, Buck cupping Eddieās jaw with gentle hands.
Hen glances at Chim, raises her eyebrows. Chimās eyes flicker toward them, then back at her in reply.
āGuys,ā Buck turns to them with teary eyes when he and Eddie pull away, āthis is my husband, Eddie.ā
Henās jaw drops; Chim has a similar expression on his face.
