    Summary

    Eddie didn’t know what to expect when they got dispatched to the call, but it certainly wasn’t this.

    The man was bound, but the intricacy by which he was tied up was like nothing Eddie had seen before. It wasn’t just his wrists, but his arms were secured behind him, attaching him to the frame of the bed by something Eddie couldn’t quite see from where he stood.

    It wasn’t a rushed job, from the little that Eddie could tell was going on. This was precise work—secure and firm in its structures. Their victim was completely bound. Immobile.

    Something far back in his mind—shaped vaguely like a door, cracked open just enough to make Eddie suck in a breath and slam it back shut.

    or, when Eddie learns something new about himself, it forces him to begin untangling a web of desires he's kept hidden for a long time.

    Summary

    “Are you mad at me?”

    Eddie sighed heavily, and slowly. “No, I’m just – I don’t know. Did I make your coming out hard for you?”

    Buck frowned, sitting up on the bed. “What?”

    Eddie sighed again, turning on the bed to switch the light back up. They both closed their eyes for a second. “I’m asking you whether coming out to me was hard.”

    Buck fell silent. Yes, but also… no. Not in the way he assumed Eddie was asking. “I mean, it was hard for me, inside my head, but it wasn’t hard once I was already telling you. You made it pretty easy for me, said all the right things.”
    Eddie nodded.

    “Why?”

    It was maybe hours, although maybe just seconds, before Eddie answered.

    “Because you’re kinda making it hard for me.”

    OR: 9x13 meta fic. buck and eddie go back to a motel after the diner. they never get pushed off the road. (includes feelings realization + a lil kiss - or two).

    Summary

    He should be glad of it. He doesn’t want people to know he’s struggling, and they don’t. But why doesn’t Buck know? He’s always known, always seen through Eddie’s carefully constructed walls and carved himself a door into them. Even when Eddie resisted, even when he pushed back, Buck ducked his head and shoved through and found the tender hurt Eddie was guarding, cupped his hands around it and held until it didn’t ache so much.

    And now Eddie’s bleeding internally, swollen with regret, and Buck doesn’t say a thing. Eddie can’t ask him to. If he opens his mouth, he might just start screaming.

    ~

    There's distance between Eddie and Buck. Eddie isn't falling apart. These are two equally true statements.

    Summary

    “I got this thing,” Eddie says, catching him in his tracks.

    “Thing?”
    He turns fully toward Eddie, because if Eddie’s gonna drop something on him, Buck’s going to look directly at it. No mercy.

    Eddie blinks – once, twice – the only crack in his cool.

    “A while back, an army buddy invited me to his wedding. Figured by the time it rolled around, I’d… have someone.” He breathes out through his nose. “So I put down a plus one.”

    Buck loses it a little. Not out loud, not dramatically. Just this bright grin that won’t quit.

    “The wedding’s Saturday. If you don’t have plans… you wanna come with me?”

    Buck’s smile falters. His chest does this weird, traitorous flutter he absolutely did not authorize.

    “Yeah,” he blurts, fast enough to shut down whatever escape hatch Eddie’s about to open. “Yes. Sure. I mean– yeah.”


    or, Eddie invites Buck as his plus one to his buddy’s wedding, it all goes exactly like one would expect.

    Summary

    “Buck?” Ravi asks, leaning in closer.

    “Yeah?” Buck, the human man, replies.

    “No, Buck,” Hen grabs the photo from Chim’s hand and holds it out for everyone to see.

    Buck, the 1.5x2” passport photo from 2019, stares back at them.

    “Oh damn.”

    Eddie smiles, he’s glad Buck isn’t too freaked out by it.

    (Buck is freaking out. The only people who have seen this photo, to his knowledge, are the post office employee that took it, and whatever person who approved it in the Department of State. Not even a TSA agent. He hasn’t gotten the chance to use it.)

     

    Or, Eddie breaks his phone, reveals the photo he's kept of Buck inside the case for years, and suddenly everyone starts giving him their own photos. Buck is only a little bothered by it.
