47 for the soft-ish dialog prompt!
47. “Have you eaten today?” “Am I gonna get in trouble if I say no?”
It felt like a trap which was unfair because Buck had been lulled into a false sense of security. Eddie, it seemed, had come over to sneak beneath Buck’s defenses and fuss.
The cuddling, the pulling Buck onto his chest, and tangling of their legs had been a lie! The hand in his hair had been a trick! Tricky nimble fingers that felt so damn good as they carded through his curls and practically petted him into a lazy afternoon nap had all been a carefully crafted plan from an equally clever and devious mind.
“Buck?” Eddie’s voice was a rumble in Buck’s ear where it was still plastered to Eddie’s bare chest. “You awake?”
Buck winced. “Am I gonna get in trouble if I say no?”
“Only if that no means you also thought coffee was a good substitute for water. Again.”
Buck stayed decisively silent on the grounds of not incriminating himself.
Eddie twisted a curl with his finger and gave Buck a sharp yank of his hair. Buck made a noise of protest and he would’ve swatted Eddie’s hand away if… he wasn’t so damn comfortable.
See? Sneak attack. A Trojan horse of cuddles. An ambush of—
“Guess that means I’ll just have to take you out myself then.” Another rumble of Eddie’s voice that reverberated all the way through Buck’s chest and down his spine.
Buck melted as Eddie massaged his scalp with a firm press of his finger tips. Eddie pushed down into his neck before swirling his fingers back up to the crown of his head with a barely their hint of nails to scratch at his scalp. Goosebumps pebbled all the way up Buck's back and Buck was practically a purring puddle on his boyfriend's chest. He pressed a kiss into Eddie's warm skin and felt his eyes start get heavy again. Another nap would be nice.
Eddie's fingers carded through Buck's hair and took a handful to give another guiding tug, one that Buck couldn't ignore even if he tried. Buck let him and tilted his chin up, already closing his eyes as Eddie's breath fanned across his mouth.
He sighed into the kiss, happy to let Eddie taste a sample of what they could do instead of leaving the house as Eddie's tongue traced line of his lips. He was perfectly content to be a snack, thanks.
But then Eddie pulled away, huffing out a noise that sounded suspiciously like a laugh and Buck whined. Buck tried to chase after his mouth but Eddie's hand on his hair kept him in place.
"We're going out and getting your food," Eddie said before kissed him on the nose. Buck let out a noise of discontent. "Get dressed."
And after the cuddling, Buck thought the slap to his ass was pretty uncalled for! And the whole Eddie practically lifting him up like he weighed nothing at all.
Well... no, the second part wasn't so bad.
