Notes: I just watched someone give me 99 notifications so thanks Iâm crying that was so nice of you to like my work that freaking much.
P.S: Youâre probably like Rhys do you even WRITE anymore. Anddd the truth is no, I do not. Well, not anything post worthy. Itâs all half finished (like this was) and itâs just not anything substantial you know? Like I want to put out fics but theyâre all half done or missing a scene or two and it drives me crazy. So I just half assed the three scenes I needed in this and was like you know what weâre gonna do our best even if itâs not enough.
P.P.S Leave me ALONE I did not edit SHIT okay
Eddie looks up from his salad that Buck forced him to eat by giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes and literally getting on his knees and watches you walk in. He always knew when you were coming up those stairs, even if you werenât making a sound.
Cotton candy cloud.
âI am not eating your stupid saladâ You roll your eyes and Eddie unconsciously inhales as you walk by.
âHe got you to eat it??â You grab the leftover Chinese from last night and throw it in the microwave and Eddie watches you lean against the counter and pull out your phone.
Who the hell youâre texting he doesnât know but he doesnât like the way your eyes light up and you stifle a giggle. Heâs about to make a âplayfulâ comment when his phone lights up with a notification that you liked the instagram post he sent you with a dog getting a bath.
Oh.
His heart flutters in his chest and he smashes it down as he looks at you purposefully this time and totally not spying like he just was.
âYeah, he threatened me.â
âI did not! That didnât happen!â Buck launches a roll at him and he catches it and throws it back right in the center of his forehead making you choke on your fried rice.
âAnd I quote âIf you donât eat that salad Iâm going to expose your deepest darkest secret.â Unquote.â
âWhatâs your deepest darkest secret? Do I know it??â You come over to the table and sit at the edge of it right next to him, instead of on the perfectly good chair on the other side of him and god heâs not mad about it.
âNoâ
He and Buck say in unison, because thereâs no way you do. You would tell Buck and Buck would tell Eddie and Eddie would have a heart attack and heâd be on the floor.
So no, you donât know his deepest darkest secret that heâs head over heels in love with Athena Grantâs niece.
You.
âCaaan I know it?â You drag the word out and Buck shrugs and reaches out, shoving your butt off the table so you stumble down into Eddie who catches you. His heart stops in his chest (It does that when youâre around) and he holds you against his chest.
âO-oh! Shit. Buck!â You crane your neck to glare back at him but you donât move and Eddie doesnât move you because heâd be a freaking chump bro if he did.
âGet your fat butt germs off the table you freakâ
Heâs taken the role of âbig brotherâ very seriously since youâd come into their lives. It was an accident that you had in the first place. Athena was worried about you, said you were troubled and she couldnât get you to straighten out after your mother had died and youâd come to live with her and the kids, you took Mayâs room when she moved out. You hadnât known her well, just knew she was an important friend to your mother and youâd met her a couple times as a kid.
Your mother made you promise her that youâd go to Athena when she passed and you did what she asked, you didnât have much to leave behind anyway. As soon as you were in LA you were out at all hours, burying your feelings in parties and alcohol. The second you snuck some whack ass dude home and she caught you? You were in the firehouse where someone would be able to keep an eye on you.
It was mostly you and Ravi hanging out at first. He felt out of place and the two of you sort of bonded over that. He was the reason you even started hanging out with Buck, when you were all at his place watching movies and you all had a random yap session and they finally got it out of you how broken and lost you were feeling and for the first time in a long time you felt like maybe you could belong somewhere.
Thatâs when Eddie came into the picture. Buck constantly reminds him that he knew Eddie was in love with you before he even knew himself.
âWhat does that even meanâ He scoffed, shoving a bite of pizza in his mouth so he had time to come up with a way to deny things. But this was sleepover Saturday and there was no lying allowed.
âYou gave her your jacket when you gave her a ride home. The one Abuela gave you.â Buck finished painting the mask on his face.
Heâd never let anyone touch that jacket and everyone respected that. But you were running in the rain to his truck, laughing and splashing, and he handed it to you without thinking. Your teeth were chattering, how could he let you freeze like that?
âHello? Earth to Eddie?â
He finally comes back down to his body. Youâre still in his arms and heâs wrapped them around you even tighter, content to just hold you while you and Buck bickered like siblings but he didnât realize youâd stopped.
Buck is staring at him with a shit-eating grin and youâre looking at him strangely.
âOh, fuck sorry-â He releases you and you turn in his arms, staying in his lap and leaning to the side so he can still reach his salad.
âAnyway, Did you still wanna watch The Young and The Restless together tonight? Eddie you said youâd join us right? I can fill you in on everything thatâs happening lately!â
Eddie is too busy short circuiting and willing his boner to not appear. Buck clears his throat.
âHey! Weâre all gonna be heading out at the same time! Why donât you two drive over to my place together? You can tell him everything!â
âThatâs a great idea! You cool with that?â You turn a little to look at Eddie and he shrugs nonchalantly.
âSureâ
Buck slams his locker shut and leans against it, giggling.
âAnd then he just goes, âSureâ like sheâs not right over his-â
âAre we seriously still discussing this? You think you could maybe not tell our entire team about whatâs happening? Which by the way is nothing!â
âNothing my ass,â Chimney scoffs and finishes tying his tennis shoes. âYou walked into the truck yesterday because Emery made her laugh and you were busy glaring.â
Eddie rubs the sore spot under his slutty curl.
âI told you, I accidentally slipped!â
âAccidentally slipped my-â
âYour ass, I know.â He rolls his eyes and shuts his locker, slipping on his jacket. âCan I go now? Are we done talking about my completely nonexistent love life?â
âYeah the one you wonât let happen because youâre afraid.â Buck puts his hands on his hips and Eddie puts his hands up in defense.
âOh we are so not touching that with a 10 foot pole!
âYouâre too afraid to tell her how you feel because you donât think you deserve her or happiness because youâre punishing yourself for some stupid reason that no one knows.â
âLa la la la I canât hear you!â Eddie covers his ears.
âAnd sheâs just gonna walk into the arms of some equally as hot guy with an even better ass than yours because you wonât man up!â
âI donât think anyone could have a better ass than he doesâ Chimney points out and Eddie drops his hands.
âIâve actually been adding more squats to my workouts.â
âItâs really showingâ Buck pats his shoulder and Eddie blushes.
âAww you guys really think so?â
âWe should measure it, like we should see how big itâs getting.â
âIâll go get the tape measureâ Chim jogs off to the office.
A few minutes later you come spinning over to the lockers, Ravi had dared you to spin the whole way there without falling over for five bucks.
âHey Eddie! Are you ready to- what are you doing?â
Chimney adjusts the front tape while Buck is on his knees, face leaned in close to see the numbers.
ââŚMeasuring the circumference of Eddieâs ass for science.â Buck blinks up at you and you plop down on the bench and hold your spinning head in your hands and nod slowly.
âYeah okay. Let me know.â
Okay so Eddie is mortified you now know how big his ass is but like, you know? And you were definitely impressed and if he could have he would have been kicking his feet.
He nearly had an aneurysm when you got down with Buck and helped him do it properly because he felt like Eddieâs jeans were a little too loose which lead you into the conversation about how that helped enhance jiggle. All while Chimney was trying his best not to scream laugh because he was absolutely helping Eddie hide that boner.
Thank god for 24 hour shifts and that one time Chimney definitely had explosive⌠anyway Eddie covered for him and now he was repaying the favor.
âSo you guys have plans?â Chimney tries to distract you as you stand up and put your hands on Eddieâs waist, fixing his jeans to make sure theyâre out of the way. His eyes nearly bug out of his head as Buck finishes measuring.
âYeah! Weâre gonna catch up on The Young and the Restless and maybe have a sleepover!â
âA sleepover?â Eddieâs eyes shoot down at Buck who grins up at him sheepishly.
âUh yeah!â He stands up and tosses the tape measure into his locker. âYouâre a certified GYAT by the way.â
âThanks. A sleepover?â He puts his hands in his hips and Bucks eyes dart to you.
âYeah! It was my idea, I know we have a lot to catch up on and itâs gonna get late so I thought we could all crash at Buckâs and he said you wouldnât mindâŚ.. you donât mind right? Iâm sorry if you do!â
He can hear that uncertainty in your face and Buck looks back at him with a little smirk on his face before shutting his locker and leaning against it.
âItâs truly up to you if you wanna sleepover.â He tells him honestly âWe wonât force you. I mean at least she wonât.â
Eddie watches you playfully slap Buckâs arm and pointedly ignore his face like you donât want to know if he wants to stay the night or not. He sighs deeply and leans against his locker, letting his head fall back.
What an absolute snack.
âYeah Iâll stay the night you freaks. Iâll stop by my place and get a change of clothes.â
âOh Edmundo, silly, silly little Edmundo. I went and got them this morning! Iâm gonna go pick up the pizza see you guys at my place!!â
Eddie could throttle him. He should throttle him, but Buck runs away before he can do that and even if heâs proven the fastest runner he doesnât want to leave you behind.
So instead he takes your hand, an incredibly bold move for him and one that makes you blush and leads you out to his truck. He hopes that blush is for him and not because you feel embarrassed, because god if you felt embarrassed?? Heâd launch himself into oncoming traffic literally immedi-
âEddie?â You tug on the handle and he snaps out of his spiral and unlocks the doors.
âShit- sorry-â
He helps you into his truck and shuts the door, he takes his time going to his side instead of jogging over because he just needs space to get his head on right before he makes a fool of himself.
âAre you okay?â You ask as soon as the door shuts and he takes a second, staring at his steering wheel and trying to remember where his keys in his hand are.
âUh- yeah. Yeah no Iâm- Iâm fine Iâm good.â
Did you spray your perfume while he was walking around or do you literally just smell that good all the time.
âAre you sure? Is this okay? I can always take an uber there, we shouldnât have really sprung this on youâŚâ
Please for the love of god get it together before you ruin this, he literally begs himself. He takes a deep breath, pushing the start button (he didnât- he didnât need his key to do that) and shrugs.
âSo, catch up on Young and the Restless?â
âOh okay. So.â You get comfy in your seat, turning toward him. âBuck told me about the last time you watched. Anyway, Victor and Nicki made up and had another freaking vow renewal and whilst I was like are you for real, Nikki looked beautiful! She looked like Cinderella!
âAnd she has her sight back?â He makes a smooth turn out of the station with one hand and you bite your lip before going on.
âYeah! And so Nick checked out of rehab to go to the vow renewal but is missing.â
âGotchaâ He mutters, doing that stupid sexy one hand driving shit that has your heart pounding. âWhat about Victoria and Kyle?â
You squeal a little and he snickers âTheyâre playing too much. We think itâs gonna happen! Thatâs legitimately his ex girlfriendâs mother and ex wifeâs aunt.â
âAre you shitting me?â His jaw drops and you squeal again and kick your legs.
âYes!! They almost fucking kissed, Eddie I need them to do that so badly oh my god I need this.â
âI think Buck was saying the same thing. He said he noticed they were letting his hair go grey on the sidesâ
âBecause they freaking are! You should have seen him holding her oh my god and-â
Eddie suddenly swerves and itâs not hard or anything but itâs enough to jostle you and you reach out for him immediately grabbing his arm. He holds onto you and flicks on his hazards. Youâd been so wrapped up in your story telling you hadnât realized just how hard the rain was starting to come down. Thereâs a little shake in your hands and Eddie shushes you, holding you tighter before letting go to hold the wheel with both hands.
âItâs seriously coming down⌠maybe we should-â
âYeah, definitely.â Heâs already getting off the highway and pulling into the first lot he can find. You look anxious and he reaches out, holding your thigh and tracing it lightly with his thumb.
âHey, weâre good okay? donât worry. Weâre parked and I think this place is open if we need to run in. Iâve got you.â
He looks at the rather empty AutoZone, but thereâs lights on from what he can tell. You place your hand over his and he turns it, so you can hold onto him. His heart is absolutely in his ass but you seem to calm down easier and heâs thanking god his hands arenât sweaty.
âWe should probably call Buck.â
âProbably.â
You reluctantly let go of his hand to grab your phone, setting it up on his little phone stand and hitting the FaceTime button. Buck answers with a towel in his hair as heâs shaving in the mirror.
âHey whatâs up? Everything okay?â
You turn the camera to the buckets of water being poured on the car and then back to you two.
âItâs cominâ down hard. Eddie pulled over in an AutoZone.â
âWeâre not too far from your place but I couldnât really see so guess weâre just gonna wait it out.â
âYeah okay sure. I can just put the pizzas in the oven to stay warm. Make sure you guys donât start again until itâs lightened up. Drive safeâ
âWe will, momâ You roll your eyes playfully and he flips you off before you can hang up.
âWelp, I guess weâve got some time on our handsâ You awkwardly rub your thighs and Eddie wishes youâd stop drawing attention to them. Not that you even know you are or that heâs thinking that even if he was just rubbing them himself earlier. Actually he really canât even blame you probably, how could you possibly know how deeply you entice him constant-
âEddie? I said did you want me to continue?â Youâre looking at him and he doesnât know when you turned toward him and Jesus he needs to freaking stop losing himself in you but how could he not?
âOh yeah sure, We were at Kyle and Victoria?â
âOh! Yeah and then Jack came in and ruined the moment and I was so-â you suddenly perk up, looking at the radio.
âOh I love this song! Can I turn it up?â
âYeah, of course.â He turns it up for you and you lean back, letting the music wash over you. He canât help but stare at you, now his hands are getting hot and sweaty, his heart racing. He awkwardly rubs them on his jeans before looking out the window.
âDipper was right, top 40s songs are in the top 40s for a reasonâ
âOh my, myâ
âOh my, my loveâ
He turns back to you, listening to you sing along in that pretty alto voice that makes the music sound somehow more magical? You match the fairy like beat of the background and he canât take it anymore.
âHey, Y/N?â He thinks about his talk last week with Buck, who had gone on a date and was raving about kissing her in the rain and how romantic it had been.
âThe angels up in the clouds are jealous knowinâ we foundâ
âYeah?â Your voice stops in your throat as he leans across the cab and kisses you.
The rain roars heavily against the roof, matching the thunderous beat in your heart as you move into him, tilting your head and taking his breath away. He cups your face, pulling away just a little to run the pad of his thumb over your cheek.
âAbsolutely beautiful.â He mumbles before leaning back in. You smile this time as your lips meet and he gently pushes you back against the window, like he just has to have his body pressed into yours. He melts into you, his tongue wrapping around yours and making your toes curl. You place one hand behind his head, tugging the soft curls at the base of his neck he canât get to calm down and hold his shoulder with the other, like youâre trying to draw him closer.
He finally pulls away, panting softly and nuzzling his nose against your cheek and you hold him in your arms.
âI knewâ You blurt out after a few quiet moments and he pulls away to look at you.
âAbout what?â
âYour⌠our? Crush.â
Our.
âWhy didnât you say anything?â He backs up to sit back in his seat and you feel the intense loss of his warmth, of having him in your arms and you wonder if you shouldnât have said anything.
He reaches out for you, like itâs your turn to be in his arms and you crawl across the seat to him.
âBecause, Buck told me not to.â
âHe what?!â His arms wrap around you automatically as you climb into his lap and start kissing his neck. If he turns into any more of a puddle the ground is going to soak him up.
âHe said you needed time to figure it out yourself. That I might scare you away if I were to move too fast?â
Okay so yeah sure the asshole knew him but he could have clued him in. His hands roam over your skin under your shirt, feeling over the dips and curves and bumps he loves likes as you kiss him slowly. The passion making his head spin and his car start to fog up.
âHe was right. And if you ever tell him I said that I will literally choke you.â
âIt can be our deepest darkest secret.â
