Summary
Eddie should have said no. Eddie should have said, I’m fine, I can handle rain, I’ve handled worse, because that was what he always did. He didn’t make choices that felt selfish, especially not for something soft like… this.
This new thing between them that still felt like a secret he carried under his skin, warm and bright. Instead, Eddie heard himself say, “Hen’s not going.”
Buck’s eyes went wide with triumph.
“See?” he whispered dramatically, like they were in on a conspiracy. “Hen said cuddle day.”
“That’s not what she—”
OR Buck just wants to cuddle with his new boyfriend.

Summary
Buck gave him a look that somehow managed to be fond, exasperated, and completely wrecked all at once. “Eddie.”
Eddie frowned a little. “What?”
Buck stared at him for another beat. “You’re straight.”
Eddie actually laughed, quiet and startled.
“I’m serious,” Buck said, still looking half dazed. “You cannot kiss me like that and then act like you maybe had a suspicion about this. I have spent an extremely long time operating under the impression that you were devastatingly, inconveniently straight.”
OR Eddie and Buck leave the bar together

Summary
Eddie is there. Eddie, in his stupid grey-ish purple tank and tiny, tiny shorts. He’s grinning, sweat beading across his brow and glistening down his cheeks. He lifts a hand, tapping his ear, and mouths, ‘take it out.’
That’s fine. Eddie wants to talk to him. Buck loves it when Eddie talks to him. He’s great at eye contact. Eddie’s got great eyes, too. Buck could look at them for hours.
He presses pause on the machine, and it slows to a stop, fingers plucking the headphone out of his ear. “What’s up?”
“Why were your eyes closed?” Eddie asks, amusement dancing around his words.
He doesn’t have a good answer for that. “Uh—I was focusing.”
“Uh-huh, you looked very focused. Also kind of constipated.”
“Thank you, Eddie,” he huffs, grabbing his small towel from the handle and wiping his face off. “Did you need something? Or are you just here to heckle my workout?”
Eddie laughs, shaking his head fondly before jerking his head to gesture to where he’d just been lifting weights. “You mind spotting me? I can do you after.”
I can do you after.
Jesus Christ.
Or: How Eddie Diaz's perfect thighs ruined Buck's workout.

Summary
“I had a nightmare,” Buck admits, shrugging like it’s nothing. “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”
Eddie’s jaw tightens before he asks: “Why didn't you wake me?”
Buck clings to his coffee and shakes his head immediately. “No. You were exhausted. We'd had that shift with back-to-back calls.”
“And?” Eddie raises an eyebrow and sets his mug down. “So what?”
Buck blinks at him. “So… you needed sleep.”
Eddie leans forward, forearms on his knees, looking at him like he’s trying to make sure Buck really hears him. “If you have a nightmare, I want you to wake me up. Okay?”
Buck huffs a soft laugh. “Eddie, it’s not a big-”
“It is to me.” Eddie reaches out, curls his fingers around Buck’s hand and strokes over the back of it. “You don’t have to handle that alone. I want to be there, that’s kind of the whole point.”Buck has learned early to deal with nightmares by himself. Now that he's in a relationship with Eddie he sleeps next to someone who claims to want to be woken up for it. Buck is torn between his habits and hesitant trust.

Summary
"He can’t decide if he wants to stare at Eddie or if looking at him right now feels like too much, so he settles for focusing on the plate in front of him. But he feels something lessen in his chest, and recognizes it as the anxiety that had made every swallow feel like he was going to be sick, like he was forcing food or water past a rock stuck in his throat. He’d barely eaten anything, let alone touched his wine glass at dinner. And when his mom had given him a look, he’d mumbled something about having a long shift and having to drive home.”

After an exhausting dinner with his parents, Buck ends up in front of Eddie’s house and finds himself not just welcomed but expected and cared for.

Summary
“I think you could kiss anyone here.”
Buck huffs, somehow pressing in even closer, the hand on Eddie’s shoulder slipping off and grasping his hip. “I think we both know if we both went up to someone wanting to kiss them, they’d pick you every time.”
Eddie closes his eyes, swallowing thickly. Buck’s cologne has mostly faded, but it’s still there, mixed with the smell of sweat and booze and the lingering scent of marijuana from the duo smoking by the entrance when they came in. It’s heady. He sways into Buck’s grip, only just managing to catch himself before he full forces swoons into him.
“They’d be wrong,” he whispers on a slow exhale.

Summary
“Eddie did what any good friend would hypothetically do and stepped up. Or more like he tripped, and stumbled, and barreled into stupidity, only slightly fueled by the teeny tiny bit of jealousy he didn’t have any right to feel.
“Use me,” he blurted out, like that was an appropriate response to their conversation. “You can just say you’re dating me.””
pretending to date the bff you're secretly in love with always works out so well and doesn't hurt at all!! no one could possibly predict how this is going to end
