    Summary

    “Do you want to?”

    Terrified brown meets pleading blue. The look in his eye is answer enough. “Buck.”

    “I want to.” Buck tugs gently at Eddie’s happy trail. “I— I want you.”

    “Jesus.”

    “Do you want me, Eddie?” Buck murmurs. He tips the angle of his head down, looking up at Eddie through flaxen lashes. “Do you wanna fuck me?”

    Wordlessly, Eddie sways forward, stomach tense against Buck’s hand, lips grazing Buck’s. Buck’s never felt like this before, this— powerful. A few words out of his mouth got Eddie like this, got him this twisted up. He got hard from kissing him.

    “Tell me to stop,” Eddie pleads, breath hot against Buck’s mouth. “Buck.”

    “Can’t,” Buck exhales, fingers dipping just past Eddie’s waistband, holding him there. “Please, Eddie. Want you.”

    OR: 25-year-old Probie Evan Buckley isn’t expecting to meet and fawn over seasoned firefighter Eddie Diaz at the Firefighter games. He also isn’t expecting to end up in bed with him.

    Summary

    "Come on. Clothes off. We're cuddling for survival."

    Eddie is so cold he's not entirely sure this is real. He might be hallucinating. He might have already died and this is some kind of purgatory situation, because "Buck taking his clothes off and telling Eddie to do the same" feels like exactly the kind of scenario Eddie's subconscious would generate to torment him in the afterlife. Hey Eddie, his dead brain is saying, here's everything you ever wanted but were too chickenshit to reach for. Watch Buck's abs flex while you freeze to death. This is your eternal punishment for never going to therapy.

    “We’re not cuddling.

    Or,
    Eddie knows how to survive everything except this.

    Summary

    He plops down on the couch again, sets his elbows on his knees, and looks Eddie in the eye. “Okay. Soooo,” he says. “You’re asking me to marry you.”

    “Yes,” Eddie says.

    “On a Wednesday,” Buck says.

    “Yep.”

    “As a friend.”

    Eddie’s nose scrunches. “Ye-ep. Just about covers it.”

     

    “Why?”

     

    or: eddie and buck embark on the most platonic journey of all: marriage!

    Summary

    “But that’d make me– uh.”

    Buck doesn’t finish Eddie’s sentence for her, even though she can feel Eddie’s wide, brown eyes begging her to. She waits. Patient. Like Eddie would for her. She thinks being loved by Eddie has made her a better person.

    And like Buck knew she would, because she’s the bravest person Buck’s ever had the honour of knowing, Eddie finishes and grinds out a quiet, “It’d make me gay. To want that.”

    Buck nods. “Yeah.”

    Eddie blinks, expression twisting like she’s fighting the wetness in her eyes.

    “Buck.” There’s a warning edge to her tone.

    Buck doesn’t back down — doesn’t really know how to. The question isn’t meant to be invasive; she just thinks maybe no one has ever asked Eddie before. No one ever asked Buck if she was into girls, and it probably would’ve sped the process up a little. Softly, she asks, “Are you?”

    “No.” The answer is sharp, harsh and instant. It’s such a hard shutdown — like Eddie’s thought about it, and knows to reject it. Or has taught herself to. “I can’t be.”

    Or: Someone leaves first. There’s no other version of this story. But sometimes, they come back, too.

    Summary

    Buck cradles him, almost, moves Eddie’s head to rest gently in the crevice of his elbow. He doesn’t stop touching him, feather-light all over, from his cheek to his hair to his waist to his thigh and all the way back up again. Like he’s trying to fit a lifetime of love in a single movement. Like he’s finally starting to accept that this is all they’ve been allowed. Like he can see the color draining from Eddie’s face despite him just having been shocked back to life.

    Buck and Eddie get trapped in an elevator.
