Thanks to @steadfastsaturnsrings I just finished a fic! (I'm slowly working on the 'make me write' ask you sent me, adding bits in and saving it as a draft as I go. 🥰 BUT YOU SENT ME SO MANY LMAO.)

Buck put his hands up, letting the music carry him. A carefree night out like this had been long overdue, something to take his mind off the stress of work and help him reset. His body swayed back and forth and his eyes were closed as he simply enjoyed the rhythm, heedless of the other bodies around him. He was in his own world, with just enough of an alcoholic buzz to loosen his limbs and stop him from caring that he wasn't the best dancer in the world.
Coming back down to earth as the song finished, Buck opened his eyes and looked over to see Eddie watching him from the other side of the room. He was staring, a drink in one hand and eyes dark with passion.
Buck smirked, then left the dance floor to make his way over to him.
Though their other friends had been too tired to come out for drinks after their shift, Eddie hadn't even hesitated before agreeing. Buck was thrilled to have his company – without it, he probably would've just gone straight home himself.
Emboldened slightly by the alcohol in his system, Buck stepped close and asked, "Like what you see?"
"What?" Eddie asked, swallowing stiffly. His eyes flitted across Buck's face like two moths fluttering against a light.
"I said, do you like what you see?" Buck asked, stepping even closer.
"I was just… watching," Eddie mumbled.
"I noticed," Buck replied, pressing so close that their bodies were touching. "I liked that you were watching."
Eddie swallowed before asking, "You did?"
"Oh yeah," Buck said, then put his hands on Eddie's hips. "I always want you watching me."
Eddie stared back at him, looking like he was oscillating between a desire to run away and a desire to give in; Buck hoped and prayed that he would just give in. He didn't know if it was the music or the lighting or what, but he was confident he was making the right choice. He could see it in Eddie's eyes.
"How drunk are you?" Eddie asked softly.
"I'm not," Buck replied quickly, giving his head a small shake. "I've only had one drink. I've been too busy dancing."
Eddie hesitated a moment longer, then whispered, "Fuck it," and surged forward to press their lips together.
Buck let out a groan of pleasure, fingers digging into Eddie's hips as he pulled him close. Their lips fed hungrily on each other, years of wanting unleashed in this one moment. Buck couldn't breathe, but didn't want to. All he wanted was to be right here with Eddie. Enjoying the moment, soaking it up. Tasting each other, loving each other.
Eddie pulled back, pressing his forehead to Buck's and sucking in a deep breath of air. Buck tried to follow his mouth and got a hand pressed to his chest, holding him back.
"Wait," Eddie said with a soft chuckle. "Give me a minute."
Reluctantly giving up on his quest to get their lips together again, Buck instead focused his energy on working his fingers beneath Eddie's shirt to find his skin. Eddie was so firm yet pliable beneath him; Buck wanted to take him home.
"Buck," Eddie murmured, sliding his hand up Buck's chest to his neck. "What does this mean for you?"
"What do you mean?" Buck asked, tracing circles on Eddie's skin and staring at his lips like a man starving.
"I mean…" Eddie shifted back a bit more, his thumb caressing Buck's jaw. "Is this just… right time, right place?"
"Hell yeah," Buck said with a grin, and tried to duck in for another kiss.
Eddie turned his face away.
"Buck… I don't want just one night," he said quietly, sounding almost afraid as he spoke the words.
Pulling back, Buck stared at him with wide eyes. He had been so sure they were on the same page, but now he understood: Eddie thought he was just looking for a one time thing because they were both out for the night enjoying the mood and the music. Eddie didn't know how real this was, how deeply Buck felt.
"No," Buck said, shaking his head. "Neither do I. I want you, Eddie. All of you. This… This means everything to me. You mean everything to me."
A smile curled Eddie's lips and his eyes glistened with emotion. Sliding his fingers behind Buck's head, he pulled him into another kiss.
But Buck wasn't finished, so he dragged his mouth free and continued, "I love you, Eddie. I'm in love with you. You're my whole entire world and the person I wanna spend the rest of my life with. I wanna go to sleep with you and wake up next to you and watch your hair go grey."
"Sexy," Eddie teased, but there was love in his eyes. "Now can I kiss you, or do you want me to tell you how in love with you I am first?"
Buck was torn between the two choices, his eyes darting between Eddie's eyes and his mouth.

I've decided to do this a little differently, so I'm going to be sharing one sentence from seven different wips.
I've been really uninspired lately so I haven't really written anything new, but I've tried to choose sentences that are super intriguing! Enjoy!
miscommunication wip
"Maybe this could've been avoided if you weren't a sex addict," Eddie spat.
something wip
"Buck… I don't want just one night," he said quietly, sounding almost afraid as he spoke the words.
meaningless wip
"Just completely… meaningless… sex…" Eddie mumbled against his skin.
clumsy wip
And when he tried to turn and casually walk out of the locker room without making a scene he'd accidentally kicked his bag into the back of Chimney's legs and knocked him onto the floor as well.
crush wip
"It's so good," Chris giggled, covering his mouth with his hands.
surprise kiss wip
"Saved by the bell," Buck joked, then tore out of the bunk room as fast as he could.
in the car wip
"I sort of… I would prefer it if… I mean, I was just thinking it would be really cool if our first kiss was in the kitchen or on the couch."
(also, I haven't actually answered all of them yet. But the ones I haven't answered yet, I've made a new draft so that I won't forget and I'll eventually post it separately!! Hope that's okay! 😘)

The question was so surprising that Buck sat back in his chair with a thump. Did he want Eddie to be gay? How was he supposed to answer that? Eddie being gay or not wasn't up to him, it was a personal thing that only Eddie could decide. Why did it matter what Buck wanted?
"I just think," Hen continued slowly, eyes fixed on the internal struggle which was no doubt written all over Buck's face. "You should consider why you called me first, instead of reaching out to let him know everything's okay between the two of you."
"Of course everything's okay between us," Buck said with a frown. "Why wouldn't it be?"
Hen raised her eyebrows. "He told you he was gay, and you panicked."
"I did not panic," Buck said immediately. At Hen's insistent stare, he reluctantly thought back over his movements since Eddie had fled his apartment, and then mumbled, "Okay, I maybe slightly panicked."
"Mhm."
"But why?" he asked himself, staring down at his untouched smoothie. "Why would that bother me? I mean, it doesn't bother me. Eddie can be whatever he wants to be. But why didn't I say that to him? Why did I freeze? Why did…"
He trailed off, lost in thought and unaware of Hen still staring at him. He could picture Eddie's face in his mind, the wide eyes before he'd spun and run back out the door, and he suddenly realised: Eddie needed him.
Eddie had possibly just had a sexual awakening and Buck had left him to deal with it on his own.

"Eddie, wait," Buck mumbled against the other man's lips. "What if we get caught?"
"We won't get caught," Eddie replied, beginning to kiss his way down Buck's neck. "I locked the door."
Buck felt a shudder go through him at those words. He and Eddie were alone in the bunk room with the door locked, which meant no one could walk in on them.
Grabbing Eddie's chin, Buck pulled him back up into a proper kiss again. Eddie shifted his hips and Buck groaned, mouth falling open in arousal. Eddie took advantage of this, slipping his tongue into Buck's mouth to explore.
It was hot and wet and so, so fantastic. Eddie was everything.
"Eddie, I–" Buck groaned again as one of Eddie's hands wandered beneath his clothes. "I love–"
A door slammed. Buck's eyes flew open and he forced himself to lie still, hoping that whoever had entered the room wouldn't know what he'd just been thinking about. He hadn't actually humped his bed, had he? Surely not.
But then a throat cleared and Buck turned his head to see Eddie leaning against the door, eyebrows raised as he looked at him.
"Having fun?" he asked.
"What?" Buck croaked out, an embarrassed flush enveloping his head. He pushed himself up on his elbows and gulped.
Eddie tilted his head slightly, studying him in silence, before stepping away from the door and walking over. There was something in his eyes that had Buck's heart racing in anticipation.
Then Eddie had reached him.
☎️☎️ - give me the phone
"The fact that you're hiding it from me makes me think it's something you shouldn't be looking at. And your dad's not here right now, so I'm in charge. Now give me the phone."
With a petulant huff, Chris finally relinquished his phone to Buck's outstretched hand.
Eyebrows furrowed in concern, Buck looked down at the screen to find out what had held Chris's attention so firmly – and promptly felt the bottom drop out of his stomach.
I'm not going to tell him I'm in love with him just because you want me to, the text read.

Still, there was no movement. Eddie's eyes remained closed and his skin remained cold. Buck swallowed against the grief which threatened to overcome him, telling himself firmly that he couldn't afford to give in right now.
He had to leave in a minute anyway. Chris would be finishing school soon and Buck had to go pick him up. It wouldn't do either of them any good for Buck to show up with bloodshot eyes.
😍 - something - now COMPLETE!
A smile curled Eddie's lips and his eyes glistened with emotion. Sliding his fingers behind Buck's head, he pulled him into another kiss.
But Buck wasn't finished, so he dragged his mouth free so he could say, "I love you, Eddie. I'm in love with you."
