explicit || buddie || 48,550 summary: After Eddie gets shot, Buck confesses his love. From there, things get a little out of hand. *** Buck breathes for a moment, then sets his shoulders. "Eddie, there's something I have to tell you." "Do you?" Eddie asks flatly, still alarmed and doing his best to hide it. "I would've never guessed." Buck swallows. "Eddie, I love you." "Are you softening the blow, or buttering me up? Because, I've got to tell you, I'm still very worried regardless," Eddie tells him. "No, you don't understand. I love you. I'm currently in love with you," Buck says as evenly as possible, and even then, his voice wobbles precariously there for a moment. He exhales. "You don't have to worry about it, though, because I've processed it and decided to—to find relief in telling you before moving on and moving forward." Eddie stares at him. No response at all. Well, at least he's not freaking out.

I found this one pretty recently even though it was posted in 2021, and i've already read and REread it because I just absolutely loved it. This fic was so good I got lightheaded from all the different emotions it put me through. Based off the initial premise I literally never expected the couple ending chapters! But it was just absolutely amazing and really puts your emotions on a rollercoaster!
