Eddie paced back and forth in front of the door. His palms were sweating and his stomach was in knots. This was a bad idea. A very bad idea. He should just turn around, walk down the stairs to the exit and get into his truck and drive home. He should not take out his key and open the door and follow through with his stupid plan. Plans likes these get people killed...well maybe not killed..maimed? No plans like these end with friendships being destroyed. He should put his key away. He should leave. Like he has done countless times before. Or he could grow some balls and open the door...the key was already in the lock... All he had to do was turn the doorknob...
"In and out. Just like Afghanistan... Okay not so much like Afghanistan... In and out." Eddie muttered as he pushed open the door.
"Hey? Did you forget something?" Buck asked as he came down the stairs of his loft.
"In and out..." Eddie whispered to himself and Buck frowned in confusion.
"Wha..." Eddie cut him off and slammed him against the wall next to the door.
Buck blinked at him as shock flickered over his face.
"Eddie, what the hell?" Buck huffed as he tried to free himself from the wall but Eddie get him firmly against it.
"Just like Afghanistan... Okay not at all like Afghanistan." Eddie muttered to himself and Buck frowned.
"Did you hit your head? The fuck is the matter with you?" Buck asked roughly but the hint of pure concern shone through.
Eddie could feel his resolve leaving him and knew he had to act fast.
"We should have sex." Eddie blurted out as he smoothed out Buck's sweater, where he had just grabbed it.
Buck could only blink again.
"I'm sorry, what now?" Buck asked incredulously and slightly scandalized.
"Sex. Me and you. We should have sex. Sex... together. As in me and you should have sex...together. With each other...together. Sex." Eddie stated feeling like his brain had decided to vacate his skull.
Buck's eyebrow raised higher and higher at every word.
"Are you concussed?" Buck asked and Eddie felt the last bit of his resolve really start to crumble and pushed forward blindly.
"We work incredibly well together. In the field. Imagine what we could do in bed...or the shower... Or the backseat of your jeep...the bunk room at work...In an actual field..." Eddie caged Buck in against the wall.
Buck had gone completely still.
"In a field? Have you ever had sex in a field? With your pollen allergy that's just a disaster waiting to happen. Jesus, Eddie use your head." Buck snorted and Eddie felt his stomach start to relax.
"So we should. Have sex. You and me. Together. With each..."
"Other. Yeah you made that part crystal clear, man. But no we shouldn't. Have sex." Buck stated awkwardly and Eddie felt his heart plummet.
"Why?" Eddie asked trying to keep hold of his resolve.
"What do you mean why?" Buck asked confused and Eddie sighed.
"Give me one good reason why we shouldn't have sex." Eddie raised an eyebrow and Buck's brow furrowed.
"Well...because. Because. Well. We... There's... Here's the thing... Because... Just because!" Buck grumbled and tried to cross his arms but realized that Eddie was too close for him to bring up his arms.
"Wow...You can't even give me one reason can you? I'm not going to force this, man. But I want it. I'm letting you know that I want it. Ball is in your court now." Eddie said leaning back from the wall and walked out.
Eddie woke up to his bed dipping down next to him. The familiar scent calmed him the second it hit his nose.
"I hate you." Buck whispered and Eddie smirked.
"No you don't." Eddie stated confidently.
"Well, I should. You can't just tell someone you want to have sex with them. Who does that?" Buck huffed and Eddie looked over his shoulder to see Buck looking up at the ceiling with his arms behind his head.
"Eddie Diaz does." Eddie smirked and Buck snorted.
"Yeah well, Eddie Diaz is a dick." Buck muttered childishly.
"Want me to blow you and make it better?" Eddie couldn't help but antagonize.
It was a part of who they were...the teasing.
"If we...if we have sex. It changes everything." Buck stated and Eddie turned to face him.
"That's a bit dramatic." Eddie rolled his eyes.
"We can't be friends with benefits, man." Buck sighed and Eddie frowned.
"We wouldn't be. I... We'd...We'd be you know...together?" Eddie whispered and Buck frowned.
"And that would change everything. We'd have to disclose our relationship to Bobby and then the whole team plus our families would know." Buck sighed.
"So? My family loves you and the team wouldn't have a problem with it. You know that." Eddie frowned.
"And Christopher?" Buck asked and Eddie rolled his eyes.
"Would be our biggest fan." Eddie stated.
"Until, I screw up and you both leave. Or the universe pulls the same old routine of Buck can't have nice things and pulls the rug out from under me again but this time...this time I don't lose Abby or Ali...I lose you. I survived being crushed by a ladder truck, I survived embolisms and a tsunami but I wouldn't survive losing you and Christopher. Fucking put me six feet under at that point because I couldn't come back from that." Buck breathed out and Eddie brought a hand to Buck's neck.
"You ever think that those two relationships didn't work out because the universe was trying to tell you that you belong with me and not them?" Eddie asked with a smile as he rubbed small circles into Buck's collarbone.
"I'm scared." Buck rested his forehead against Eddie's.
"You're forgetting the most important thing in all this, Evan." Eddie brushed some of Buck's curls away from his temple.
"What's that?" Buck asked softly.
"I got your back. That never came with an expiration date. That came with a lifetime guarantee." Eddie swore and Buck's breath hitched.
"A field huh?" Buck asked with amusement and Eddie snorted.
"I was frazzled." Eddie grumbled.
"Eddie 'cool as a cucumber' Diaz was frazzled?" Buck asked with a smile.
"Cool as a cucumber? Seriously? Only you can make that saying sound hot." Eddie laughed and Buck smirked.
"That offer still on the table?" Buck asked and Eddie frowned.
"Offer?" Eddie asked and Buck rolled over until he was straddling Eddie.
"To blow me?" Buck asked as he nipped at Eddie's pulse point.
Eddie hissed in pleasure.
"Yes!" Eddie groaned as he pulled Buck's face up and kissed him.
Buck pulled away and tilted his head.
"So what the fuck happened in Afghanistan?" Buck asked amused and Eddie laughed.
