Just a Little Crush by ruggedbrilliance
(14/14 I 27,885 I Teen)
Steve has come to a conclusion: Eddie Munson had a crush on Robin Buckley. Of course, that was the reason why Eddie kept showing up at Scoops Ahoy, it had to be. So he sets out on a mission to help them out and play matchmaker. But why does the thought of them together make his stomach hurt?
AKA: In a world without the Upside Down, Steve Harrington hasn't figured out that he's bi.
the angsty Christmas fic no one asked for (except maybe april 😅)
Christmas Kisses
-summary-
In the days leading up to Christmas, Buck gives Eddie a series of sweet and endearing gifts, though they lack the one thing Eddie really wants
-or-
Five times Buck gives Eddie cheesy gifts, and the one time Eddie gets exactly what he’s been wanting.
1.
It was days before Christmas now, Eddie putting in all the overtime he could in order to make sure his son had the best Christmas ever.
Working on B-shift was strange, none of his usual teammates around, his partner not there to have his back; it always felt off to work without Buck. Even so, he was grateful that Buck had the day off so that he could watch Christopher, Carla already away for the holidays to spend time with her own family.
He parked in his usual spot when he arrived at Bucks’ and made his way up, not bothering to knock on the door, using his key instead. The first thing that came into view were the Legos and crayons spread all over the table, various books about space buried between them. As Eddie moved into the living room, his heart skipped a few beats, the sight in front of him all too adorable.
The tv was playing low in the background, Finding Nemo on of course—the two seriously never tired of the movie—Buck and Chris curled together on the couch, their curly hair nearly identical. If Eddie took a picture of the moment and used it as his lock screen, well, that was no one’s business but his own.
Buck stirred suddenly, almost as if sensing Eddie’s presence, those beautiful blues opening. Their eyes met in an instant, Buck offering him the softest smile, Eddie unable to do anything but return it.
“I see you two had fun today.”
Buck smiled sheepishly, looking toward their mess in the kitchen.
“Yea, we uh, might’ve forgotten to clean up before passing out.”
They shared a chuckle, Eddie moving closer to rub a hand through his son’s curls, his hands longing to do the same with Bucks’.
“Thanks again for watching him today.”
Buck watched Eddie’s movements, looking to Christopher with as much love as Eddie did.
“Yea, always. I kind of love the kid.”

His heart felt like it was out of his body. It was getting harder and harder to pretend he wasn’t in love with Buck. Every time he looked at his best friend, his partner, his soulmate, his breath got caught in his throat, and Buck gave him this look whenever he saw Eddie staring right at him. But then Buck would look away and something would shift out of place once again.
It was not something that ever happened with them Now, though, Eddie felt like his other half was missing because he and Buck weren’t pressed up right against each other at all times anymore.
On the couch, at the station, Buck would sit on the other side of it, while Eddie was trying so hard not to just rest his feet on Buck’s lap and feel Buck’s beaming smile from miles away. Sometimes he would see Buck reach out to touch, then frown and realize Eddie’s feet were resting firmly on the ground, several feet away from him.
He would see Buck grimacing and Eddie wanted to kiss the corner of his mouth, his cheek, his jawline. He would see Buck helping Bobby with cooking dinner and want to wrap his arms around Buck’s waist from behind and just never let go. Wanted to see that smile directed at him at all times because it was literal sunshine. He swears Buck’s smile could cure any ailment. Anybody with half a brain cell knew this was false. Eddie didn’t care. He was in love, sue him.
Right now, though, Eddie saw Buck smiling but not at him. No, at his phone, where he was probably texting his girlfriend. Damn Taylor Kelly.
A flare of jealousy sparked down in his belly and now, he wanted the couch to swallow him whole.
Eddie asked, “Is that Taylor?”
The smile disappeared. Buck was giving him that fucking look again.
Eddie’s chest did a painful twinge when Buck told him, “Yeah. We’re making dinner plans for tonight.”
Now, Eddie’s heart plummeted down to his stomach. Stupid ass feelings.
Eddie croaked out, “But it’s Diaz-Buckley game night. Can’t you just reschedule?”
Buck blushed like he had been caught and Eddie realized maybe he had forgotten.
He gave Eddie a sympathetic smile and asked, “I’ll chat with Chris later tonight to make up for it. Tomorrow night instead?”
Eddie barely got out, “Sure”, before Buck got off the couch and took off down the stairs.
His other half was gone. Again.
Hey, at least, he had Buck all to himself tomorrow night.
Maybe he was a little selfish.
It was worth it to see Buck’s smile that would be lighting up his entire face tomorrow night when Chris was demolishing them both in Mario Kart.
Superman, you did it again. Man, buddy, you’re too good.
Just better than you, Buck.
Eddie laughed to himself. Maybe he could make it until tomorrow night.
Tell that to his pining heart. It wouldn’t rest.
His phone pinged.
From Buck: Can’t wait until tomorrow night! Order the pizza early, Eds. Also, does Chris need more ice cream?
Yeah, he has the best partner.
To Buck: Get him some triple chocolate. His new obsession lately.
From Buck: So your son takes after you then?
Heart a little lighter. Not beating so fast. Maybe a little bold.
To Buck: After you, dumbass.
Yep, he was screwed.
for your eyes only, i show you my heart...
read on ao3.
eddie: ow, fuck. i cut my finger.
buck, concerned: give it here, let me kiss it better.
eddie, blushing furiously: oh- uh- sure.
*the next day*
eddie: chim, i need you to punch me in the mouth.
chimney, already winding up: done.
