There's No Better Love, That Ever Has Loved Me

“Did you know that American men ranked 8/10 in a study on the Worst and Best Lovers in the World?” Buck asks, making Bobby choke on his water, while Eddie, Chim, and Ravi look at him with mild intrigue.    “What are you talking about, Buck?” Hen asks, and she already knows she’s going to regret it.   “I found a study online, done to rank the best and worst lovers in the world.” Buck says, pointing at her with his phone. “And it doesn’t only cover men; it also ranks women as well. Although, it doesn’t talk about the other genders, so that’s a point against them.”   “And how did you come across this study, which I’m sure is very scientific and done for research purposes only?” Chimney asks, crossing his arms over his chest. “And how do Korean men rank?”   “Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention Korean men or women.” Buck says, earning a scoff from Chim, then he turns to face Eddie. “Or Mexicans as well.”   “India?” Ravi asks with fake nonchalance, making Bobby throw him a look of mock betrayal.   “Indian men ranked 7/10.” Buck says, then turns to look at Hen again. “Same as American women.”   “What countries does this study cover?” Eddie asks with a raised eyebrow. “And you still haven’t answered Chim’s question.”

Not Just A Key

Rating: Explicit

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationship: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV)

It all started when Eddie gave Buck a key to his house.

At first, Buck kept the key on his keyring, right by the key to his loft, and told himself that he’ll only use it for emergencies.

Then he only used it when he was spending time with Christopher and would go home with him until Eddie came back from whatever errand he was running.

After that, he always made sure to knock before using his key, until one day Eddie told him (with fond exasperation) to just walk in, that he didn’t need to knock.

Buck knows that he probably should have learned his lesson from the last time he walked into Eddie’s house unannounced, because the last time he did that, his world came crashing down around him as he listened to Eddie explain that he was looking for a house in El Paso.

Then again, Buck wasn’t really one to learn from his own mistakes much.

At least, not when it came to matters of the heart.

And that’s exactly what Eddie is, as Buck had come to realize so suddenly, but that was beside the point. The point right now is, he should not have walked in unannounced, because if he hadn’t, then he wouldn’t be starting at a scene right out of his nightmares.
