Summary:
Still without opening his eyes, Buck moved his hand along the other man’s arm seeking out his hand to remove it, and that was the second time he was surprised. There was a ring on the fourth finger. A wedding band.
Fuck! Had Buck slept with a married man?! He couldn’t! He wouldn’t!
Besides he was sure that no sexual activity had been involved.
The person behind him moved closer, pressing all of his body against Buck’s. It was a big man but not bigger than Buck. He knew that he would have to face whatever was going on there was no point in delaying it any longer so he opened his eyes.
The sun coming from the window almost blinded him again so he blinked a few times to let his eyes adjust. Buck wrapped his hand around the man’s wrist to try and move it away but that was when he saw it. A familiar tattoo wrapped around the forearm, letters that Buck had seen so many times.
It was Eddie, it was just Eddie there with him. Not a stranger.

Summary:
Stiles was in his apartment in Washington, looking over a new case, when there was a knock on his door. He hadn’t been expecting anyone, he certainly hadn’t been expecting a nervous teenager with familiar hazel eyes.
“Can I help you?” Stiles could feel his magic pulse in his veins, it usually happened when he was around other supernatural creatures, which left him a bit confused about who this boy was.
“Are you Stiles? Stilinski?” The teen asked, clearly still nervous and with anxiety. Stiles knew the signs far too well.
“Yes, and you are?” He had never met this kid before, but he seemed to know Stiles.
“Eli. I need your help.” Stiles' confusion must have been clear because the boy, Eli, kept talking. “You knew my father. Derek Hale. I need your help getting him back.”
“What?!” It was all that Stiles could say. He didn’t know Derek had a kid. “Wait, where did he go?” He might not have seen Derek in years, but he knew that the man would never leave his family behind, especially his kid.

Chapters: 1/1
Summary:
“We have the Christmas Gala soon…” Eddie started, this time he was avoiding looking at Buck. The Fire Department had organized a few Galas for the stations on different days so that everybody could attend, mixing and matching a few so that they could meet other teams and just have a good night.
“Yeah, I know, we agreed to do the Secret Santa exchange that night. I got the perfect kitchen knife set for Bobby, are you really not telling me who you got?” Buck might not have been a big fan of Christmas before, but the 118 had changed things for him, and he loved to get gifts for the people he loved, make them happy.
“I’m not telling you. And I had been thinking…I know we told the team we weren’t taking anyone with us, but…” That made Buck’s heart shrink for a second, forgetting for a heartbeat that he was the one dating Eddie, but the thought of seeing Eddie take someone else to the Gala was devastating. “Hey…” Eddie reached for Buck’s face, his hand warm against Buck’s cold cheek.
“Cap, there is no one here!” Eddie said through the radio as he shared a look with Buck.
Something was off.
“Are you sure? Dispatch said that there was a man with his daughter.” Bobby’s voice came through the radio.
“We are, Cap. I don’t think anyone was living here at all.” They needed to get out of there soon, Eddie could hear the fire easily consuming the structure of the house.
“Get out before it collapses.” Bobby hadn’t even finished his sentence and they were already moving through the burning house.
They were quick even with the heavy equipment and as soon as Eddie got the fresh air he turned around to talk with Buck. He wasn’t there. He didn’t follow him out.
“Buck!” Eddie was already turning on his feet ready to get back inside until he felt hands on his shoulders stopping him from going any further.
It's finally here! 12k later! Happy Birthday @triskel-samulet! I hope that you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it

Title: Me + You = Happiness
Word Count: 12k
Chapters: 1/1
Summary:
Buck hadn’t been upset. Not really.
Why would he?
He won the poker game against Captain Mehta and Chief Williams.
He was definitely happy about that.
Buck was also more than happy when he made that amazing steak for him, Eddie, and Chris. It had tasted heavenly.
So he was happy.
Very happy, the happiest he has been in a while and that thought kind of took him by surprise. Because he hadn’t noticed until now how at ease he was and how happy he seemed to be lately.
It was effortless.
And more and more Buck had been catching Eddie looking at him in a way he had never noticed before. So soft and gentle, almost as if Eddie loved him.
They did love each other, they were best friends and it was impossible not to have love in a relationship like that.
But Buck was greedy and he wanted more than just friendly love.

I'm gonna tag a few people that seemed interested in this @alyxmastershipper @shortsighted-owl @spotsandsocks @belovedbuddie
Well since Buck is in a coma and not dead as you all say (I refuse to believe it), I will share my coma Buck fic that has nothing to do with this storyline that we are getting on the show.
Title: Outside Looking In
WC: 21k
Chapters: 2/2
Summary:
The room was quiet, and it was obviously a hospital room, ICU probably.
Buck turned around, and he could see a body lying on the bed, pale and hurt. Bruises all over his exposed arms, a tube down his throat, and his head wrapped with bandages. It was his body. Laying still, lifeless if it wasn’t for the machine pumping air into his lungs.
Was he dead?
“You aren’t dead.” There was a voice behind him, and he quickly turned, how did this person know what he was thinking?
There was a boy, about 8 years old calmly staring at him and Buck recognized him. He was familiar, of course, he was. How could Buck forget about him? It would haunt him for the rest of his life and apparently when he is dead as well.
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you.” It was the first words slipping out of his mouth.
***
Or Buck has an accident and goes into a coma which makes him realize how much love surrounds him
Alright I have this one finished as well, I kind of had fun with it and as per usual got bigger than I had expected.
Here is the list and the ao3 link:
Buck had agreed to it. It was his own fault to be in a crowded bar lost in how many drinks he had already.
It had been a while since the 118 had gone out together to have fun. They had found a babysitter for the kids. (Paid May and her boyfriend to watch them)
Athena had joined and so did Maddie and Karen.
It almost felt like a couples’ night now. Except, Buck, Eddie, and Ravi were the only single people in their group.
It never bothered Buck before. He could easily find company for the night if he wanted, but he was no longer that reckless kid searching for a bit of love in a one-night stand.
No, he had learned to be happy by himself. To love himself. The thing was, he loved more than himself. It took him a while to admit but he was in love with his best friend who now sat at his side in a small booth, their sides pressed together from knee to hip and shoulder.
Every time Eddie moved, Buck could feel it.
He wasn’t sure if it was keeping him calm or driving him crazier.
Buck sipped on the straw of his cocktail - he didn’t even remember what was supposed to be in it - as another woman came by their table. He rolled his eyes at it. He knew exactly what was about to go down.
She was definitely a gorgeous woman even under the bad lightning. Her brown hair was perfectly styled stopping about her shoulders, revealing a big cleavage that didn’t have much to hide.
“Hi, handsome.” Her voice was seductive as she placed her hand on Eddie’s arm.
Buck felt his best friend tense against his side, and the rest of their friends stopped talking to pay attention to what was happening. It wasn’t the first time that night that someone stopped by their table to hit on Eddie.
He was sitting at the edge of the booth leaving him more exposed to it.
Eddie had just recently come out to Buck as not being straight, by then Eddie didn’t really seem to know how to label himself and Buck made sure that he didn’t have to. No one else knew about it yet.
Buck did anything that a best friend does, and something that he had promised Eddie he would always do. To have his back and this felt like a moment where he should save Eddie.
So, he stretched his left arm over the back of the booth, almost as if he was showing off that Eddie was his. His best friend seemed to relax a bit into his side.
“Are we still going to the movies next weekend? Chris has been asking if we could take him and a few friends to see that new action movie.” Buck was feeling bold, maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it was the way that Eddie leaned into him as he spoke.
There was a smirk on his lips when he moved his gaze from Eddie to the woman that had just come by.
She actually looked apologetic and Buck was feeling a bit bad now about the move he had just pulled. She quickly apologized and walked away.
Eddie was quiet for a bit as the woman left, he didn’t dare to look at their friends so instead, he looked at Buck, like nothing had happened. Like it was totally normal.
“You mean, take them to the movies, pay for the popcorn, and wait while they go alone? Because they are teens now and are way too cool for us?”
“I promise to entertain you while we wait for them.” It sounded a bit more flirty than Buck had intended but Eddie didn’t seem opposed to it, not by how his cheeks were flushed.
Buck was probably the only one that could tell since he was the one closer to Eddie.
When they looked back at their friends they had all gone back to their own talks. Buck quickly joined in the conversation when they found out that Ravi had a crush on a new firefighter that had just joined the station. Buck kept his arm over the back of the booth, from time to time his fingers would rest on Eddie’s shoulders. Tapping along the song playing in the background.
It didn’t take long for Buck to feel his eyes closing against his will, hand closed in a fist to support his chin as he tried to pay attention to what everyone was saying.
Suddenly there was no longer a body pressed against him, the heat of it gone making Buck snap his eyes open so fast that he had to blink a few times to focus.
Even though Eddie was no longer at his side, the man was standing outside of the booth staring at him with a smile.
“Come on, let me take you home.” There was an amused tone in Eddie’s voice.
And Buck gave in like he usually did when his best friend asked him something. They quickly said goodbye to everyone, at one point Eddie had to wrap his arm around Buck’s waist to steady him.
Eddie had to even help him get the seatbelt on.
Buck groaned pressing his forehead against the glass of the window as the truck started to move.
“How much did you drink?” Eddie seemed amused by the state Buck was in.
“How many times did you get hit on?” Buck turned to look at Eddie, just enough to see him grimace before getting back to his more casual expression.
“You did a good job cockblocking them all. Especially with facts about serial killers.” Eddie didn’t really seem upset by it.
“I’m sorry, I just went into protective mode. At least I thought I was protecting you, you didn’t seem comfortable with any of them.” Buck sat straighter in his seat, taking advantage to admire Eddie’s profile. He seemed lost in thoughts, trying to figure out what to say.
“Thank you for that. I really wasn’t.”
“Good.” Buck relaxed, letting his eyes close. “They weren’t good enough for you anyways.”
“How do you know that?” This time Eddie did laugh. Looking quickly at him before looking back towards the road.
“I have had enough hookups at bars to know that it doesn’t lead anywhere.” Buck should definitely stop drinking alcohol after this. “Besides, you deserve an epic love story. A cute meet or I don’t know. Just something awesome. You deserve that, Eddie.”
“Buck…”
Maybe it was the way Eddie said his name or maybe it was the alcohol just starting to disappear from his body, but Buck felt like he was sobering up and with that, he noticed the awe on Eddie’s face.
“I’m serious. You deserve all the good romcom cliches in your life.”
“Life isn’t a movie. And maybe I don’t want that. Maybe I want something familiar and comfortable.”
Before Buck could even straighten his thoughts about what Eddie had just confessed, they were stopping outside of his block of apartments.
“Eddie…”
“Come on, I will make sure you get there safe and sound.”
Eddie was already opening his door and Buck couldn’t anything but to follow. The ride in the elevator was quiet. Buck kept staring at their reflection on the metal doors and only now did he notice how well-dressed Eddie was.
His best friend always looked great but it seemed more of an outfit for a date than a night out with just friends. Maybe Buck did cockblock him.
Buck fiddled with the keys once they got to the door of his loft, feeling calloused hands wrapping around his own to take the keys away. In a gentle I got you.
Buck knew he was staring but he couldn’t look away, he watched Eddie’s every move as they moved inside the loft. How familiarized he was with the place just as much as Buck was with the Diaz’ house.
He let himself be pushed towards upstairs. Let Eddie make him sit on the bed, then kneel in front of Buck to help him with his shoelaces, and at that, all of Buck’s innocent thoughts went away.
“I’m not that drunk.” Buck knew how deep and low his voice had come out, it was enough to make Eddie get up, keeping their faces leveled and both of his hands just above Buck’s knees using it for support.
“You are.” There was no judgment or anything else but fondness in Eddie’s face and eyes.
Buck wasn’t really thinking when he wrapped his hand around the back of Eddie’s neck to pull him down into a kiss, crashing their mouths into each other. It was like he needed it like he needs air to breathe and all of his air was gone when he felt Eddie kiss back.
It was thrilling and hopeful. That was until Eddie pulled away.
“Buck…” Eddie looked apologetic and all of Buck’s world came crashing down. He had just fucked everything up.
“I…” Before Buck could freak out even more, Eddie wrapped his hand around Buck’s wrist to keep him from moving away.
Eddie pressed their foreheads together, giving them time to breathe.
“I want it. Badly. I just don’t want to do it while you are drunk and probably won’t remember a thing.”
They both kept their eyes closed just letting sink in all that had just happened and had been said.
Slowly, hope started to bloom in Buck’s chest giving him more bravery than alcohol could ever give him.
“I don’t want you to go.” Buck whispered into the dark, the only light coming through the big window in the loft.
“Then I won’t.” Eddie pulled away.
Buck kept his eyes on his best friend as he got out of his clothes and got more comfortable ones from Buck’s dresser. With a smile, Eddie helped him out of his clothes as well before they both got under the sheets.
“I promise to remember this in the morning.” Buck curled into Eddie’s side, resting his face on the other man’s chest. It felt like coming home.
“You better do.” Eddie’s lips brushed feather-light against Buck’s forehead as he spoke, then he pressed them more like it was a kiss.
Strong, calloused hands intertwined into the already messy dark blond curls of Buck’s head slowly dragging him to sleep.
Buck just hoped that this had been more than just a dream.
Okay, it’s here and I do feel the pressure since I got good feedback from the Seven Sentence Sunday I shared.
I will tag everyone that reblogged, don’t know if people who liked the post want to be tagged.
AO3 link:
Eddie wasn't eavesdropping, he wouldn't do that.
He liked giving Christopher his space, especially when he was with Buck.
Buck was Chris' safe space and if Eddie was being honest, it was also his. Still, he never expected to hear it.
"I love you." Chris sounded sure and confident.
"You do?" Buck's voice was clearly filled with emotion at that confirmation and Eddie wanted to punch anyone who ever made Buck feel like he didn't deserve love.
"Yes. That is why you need to ask Dad out! I'm okay with it. I would love that!"
Eddie almost choked in his saliva at those words and he was sure that Buck was just as shocked as him.
His beautiful blue eyes were probably wide open with the revelation of Chris' actual intentions.
Eddie took a step back, his breathing hitching a bit. He was aware of his own feelings after so many sessions with Frank, but was he that obvious that Christopher noticed, or was his son just eager to have a family? With Buck.
Buck had clearly reached a point of acknowledging that he wanted stability, he had shared that with Eddie. That soon he would like to settle and have a family.
Eddie could give him all that and more, he would provide Buck with all the love he truly deserves.
“Hey, boys it’s getting late.” Eddie made sure to do plenty of noise before reaching the living room, trying to pretend that he hadn’t heard that conversation even if his cheeks still felt hot.
“But, Dad…” Christopher stared at his father with the biggest puppy eyes he could pull off.
Eddie couldn’t help but smile at his kid before ruffling his curly air. One glance at Buck and he could see that the other was smiling as well, his cheeks colored in pink making Buck’s birthmark stand out.
“Don’t you think that you have spent enough time with Buck today at the zoo?” Eddie tried to argue, keeping his voice calm and patient. “Besides, aren’t you too cool for hanging out with a bunch of old people like us?” He teased.
“Who is old here?!” Buck gasped pretending to be offended which only made Christopher laugh.
“No one.” Eddie tried to pass his smirk as innocent as possible before turning back to Chris. “Maybe share Buck a little with me?” He said the last part a bit lower like it was a secret even if he was sure that Buck could hear it.
Eddie kept his eyes on his son as the boy left to brush his teeth. Looking back at Buck, Eddie’s heart started to race just like he had expected it.
Buck sat sideways on the couch, like he truly felt at home there, he had his head lowered but Eddie knew exactly what he was trying to hide. What should never be hidden in Eddie’s opinion, Buck’s smile was one of the most beautiful ones he has ever seen, it felt like sunshine coming through the window to warm you up on a lazy sunday afternoon. Warming you up from the inside out.
Eddie might have been staring for too long and too lost in his own mind because when he blinked and opened his eyes Buck was staring at him in confusion.
“Do you want to stay for a beer?” Eddie hoped his voice didn’t sound as strained and deep as it did to his ears.
“Yeah, sure.”
It didn’t take long for them to be sat alone on the couch, Chris already tucked into bed while the adults enjoyed a quiet moment. There was a nature documentary on tv that neither of them was paying attention to.
Eddie would let his eyes roam over to Buck every now and then, noticing that there was something wrong. Buck usually wasn’t this quiet, he had always something to say about what they were watching but instead, he was focused on the bottle of beer in his hands. More specifically peeling off the label of it.
The drink was probably already warm in his hands.
“What’s wrong?” Eddie’s voice was slow but it was enough for Buck to flinch.
“Nothing-” Buck tried but gave up right away on lying to him.
Eddie moved on the couch so his knee was pressed against Buck’s tight, somehow they always found a way for their bodies to be touching. Either at home or on the job.
“Hey, it’s okay.”
Buck set the bottle down on the coffee table before relaxing against the couch, his arm stretched over the back of it, now his full body facing towards Eddie.
“Chris asked me something…” Buck played with a thread of couch. “I don’t know if I can do it…”
“Buck…” Even if Eddie felt his heart shatter at this revelation he was still there for his best friend. He knew exactly what Chris had asked.
Eddie knew that if it was a few years before maybe Buck would have done it just to please the people he loves. To make them happy. He still does everything he can to make everyone he cares about happy.
“You know I would do anything for him right?” Buck finally looked up at him instead of watching his hands. His bright blue eyes with unshed tears, the white of his eyes turning red as he tried to keep them from falling.
“I do.” Eddie reached out, hand gently wrapping around Buck’s wrist, the one on the back of the couch. “Chris will understand.”
And Eddie would learn to live with it, that what he felt for Buck would never be reciprocal. His heart broke into tiny pieces in between them, on the pillows of the couch that Buck would never choose.
“You don’t even…” Buck sighed, taking the heel of his free hand against his eyes to take away any tears that might have escaped him. “I don’t want to ruin things.”
“You won’t.” Eddie promised, his thumb brushing along Buck’s pulse point of his wrist. Feeling the rapid heartbeat there.
“You can’t promise that.”
“I can. At least with us. There is nothing you can do that will ruin things with me or Chris.”
“Eddie…” The name fall out of Buck’s tongue with so much emotion, like he wanted to say everything that was going on in his head with just one word. Like he couldn’t believe that he had this.
“It’s true…” Eddie noticed how Buck looked at him in confusion. “Chris. He does love you or he wouldn’t say it. I do need to talk to him about using that confession like that. But he does.”
Buck looked at him with wide eyes, quickly pulling away from Eddies touch like he was being burned.
“I…you heard that?” Buck sounded just as scared as he looked.
“I did, I didn’t mean to.” Eddie sighed, putting some space between them. Already picking up the little pieces of his broken heart and storing them in a box where it wouldn’t be ever be touched again. “I get it. And I am proud of you. I know you love Chris just as much he loves you but you don’t have to do what he asks if you don’t want to.”
“What?”
There was a moment of quiet between them, everything settling down. Sinking in. Eddie’s heart beating so damn hard that it made everything else disappear. Until Buck was reaching for him, it was just a brush of fingers on Eddie’s hand but it was enough to make him let go of the breath he was holding.
“It’s not like that, Eddie. I…shit.” Buck closed his eyes for a few seconds before blinking them open again, a hint of fear there. “I’m scared that if I do it…I will screw things up.”
“Buck, I told you. There is nothing you can do that will screw things up.” Eddie couldn’t help but smile. He looked at their hands which were now intertwined.
“I couldn’t risk it. I couldn’t do that. You and Chris are like…” Buck choked up a bit on those words.
“Your safe space?” Eddie offered and saw the acknowledgment on Buck’s face, his lips curling into a smile.
“Exactly.”
“You are the same. For Chris and me.”
“Really?” There was a bit more confident in Buck’s smile, his eyes shining a bit more, and no more tears threatening to fall.
“So, don’t you have something to ask me?” Eddie licked his lips expectantly, his heart was slowly but surely getting back together with every little thing that Buck was giving him.
The soft squeeze of their hands, the soft smiles and gazes. They were more than fine.
“Just because this amazing kid asked me to and I can’t say no to him.” Buck teased back before they got closer.
Buck’s free hand resting right above Eddie’s knee. Their face were so close that Eddie could count Buck’s eyelashes, he could see all the shades of blue in the other man’s eyes. Just everything about Buck was beautiful, especially his heart and soul.
“Eddie Diaz, will you go out with me?” Eddie could still see a bit of nervousness behind Buck’s words.
“Yes.”

“Let me do this for you, okay?"
Buck had been agitated all through their shift, making it seem longer than it actually was.
2. “Please stop trying to hide them from me.”
“Please stop trying to hide them from me.” It was the first thing that Eddie said once he opened the door.
3. "I love you.” - “You do?”
Eddie wasn't eavesdropping, he wouldn't do that.
4. “I don’t want you to go.” - “Then I won’t.”
Buck had agreed to it. It was his own fault to be in a crowded bar lost in how many drinks he had already.
5. Just...hold my hand?
Buck didn’t know why, but the words just came out of his mouth as he sat on one of the benches in the locker room while tying the shoelaces of his sneakers. Eddie stood next to the locker room, already fully changed into his civil clothes and finishing putting his watch on.
6. “Please?” “Those eyes won’t work on me this time.”
“Please?” Buck tried to look tinier than he actually was, which was both ridiculous and adorable at the same time. He blinked a few times while staring, trying to make his eyes look like a kicked puppy.
7. “You’re cold.” - “Am not.”
“You are cold.”
8. Mistakes are meant to be made (But you are not one)
Things have been shifting for a while in Eddie’s life. Before, he probably would have freaked out about losing control over things he usually made sure to go the way he wanted.
9. Will you still kiss me when I am sick?
Buck was fine, he was more than perfect. He had walked into his shift feeling perfectly healthy and strong.
10. Coming in the Right Time
It had all started as a joke really.
I kept this only for my buddie fics but I was distracted and almost dropped a sterek fic in there
