Summary
Eddie’s not a complete idiot. He knows this isn’t normal. He stands in front of a mirror in his underwear, the tightest pair he owns, and he poses for a picture at an angle he’s learned flatters his ass and the curve of his thigh, to send to his best friend.
He knows this isn’t what most best friends do. He also knows most straight guys don’t spend extensive amounts of time staring at men’s thirst trap accounts, or thinking about how their best friends look half-naked, but…
That’s not what Eddie is focusing on right now. He’s just focusing on feeling good, following the path that sparkles with joy, and refusing to overthink it. If happiness is Buck sending a meme of a guy with a nosebleed back to his shirtless selfie, then that’s what happiness is. Eddie has spent too long denying himself to let this be what stops his journey towards loving himself.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to be positive.
It’s not like he’s breaking any commandments, as Father Brian would say.

Summary
“I went out drinking with Ravi, and he found Tommy at the bar, I guess. Then out of nowhere Ravi was leaving, and Tommy sat down with me, and one thing sorta led to another and... and, he, uh. You know. Spent the night.”
Pulse rabbiting in his ears, Eddie’s jaw ticks. “He spent the night.”
“Yeah, but that wasn’t even the problem, really,” Buck says, exasperated. “Eddie—he told me that he dumped me because of you.”
The tune in his ears shifts from rushing blood straight to television static. “He what?”
~
Or: Eddie's in Texas, Buck is not, and the universe is screaming at Eddie about it.

Summary
Eddie stares, eerily calm as Buck takes in the decimated state of his face shield with a growing pit in his stomach.
“No…” he stumbles a step, reaching forward as if to touch Eddie’s bare cheek. “What did you do?”
Eddie cracks a sad smile as his eyes shutter closed. Buck punches the glass with every ounce of strength in his body. It doesn’t even rattle. “Eddie, what the fuck did you do?”
Or: 9-1-1 season 8, episode 14. Everything is the same, but now Eddie's there! Yippie!

“I’m not having someone over,” he cuts in with a scoff.
A scoff.
Like the mere idea is preposterous.
“Then why do you want me to leave?”
“Because you’re gay!” Buck exclaims, accompanying his high-pitched statement with a hand gesture.
Eddie blinks.
Buck blinks back.
“I’m gay therefore I can’t… stay in?” Eddie asks, eyebrows raised in utter confusion.
or, Eddie comes out, Buck's a good friend about it.

“Is something up? This is from yesterday, right? I knew you fucking inhaled something! I tried to tell Cap that he needed to make them give us some info so we could be prepared,” Buck says, animated, all hands swinging around as he makes his way closer to bed. “Did they call you last night? Like they were supposed to?”
“Yeah, they did. They didn’t tell me I’d lose my dick, though,” he grumbles softly.
Buck freezes as he moves to sit on the edge of the bed. “What?” He asks, his voice pitching high and almost breaking.
“Oh, sorry, not like, it didn’t fall off. I have a…vagina now.”

After a chemical exposure, Eddie wakes up with something new between his legs.

“It doesn’t have to be anything serious,” Buck quickly adds. He feels like a kid negotiating with their parents for an extra toy. He’s throwing out any idea that might land. “We can be like…friends with benefits.”
“Friends with benefits?” Eddie repeats. He places his hands on his hips, his biceps bulging with the motion, and Buck’s cock gives a valiant attempt at being noticed by twitching in his boxers.
Jesus. Buck might not survive this.

Summary
Edwin drags his lips from Buck’s jaw to his neck, laughing into his fever hot skin. “Did you forget my name?”
Buck blinks down at the top of his head, sighing, baring his throat. The wall digs into his back where he’s being pushed up against it. “No?”
“Then who is Eddie?”
...or, Buck just wants to hook up with a guy in peace. His life falls apart.

Buck pulls away, just an inch or two, breathing heavily into Eddie’s open mouth. “What’s—what’s gotten into you, baby?”
Eddie ducks his head, suddenly shy again, and Buck burns with admiration at how soft and delicate he can be, how coy.
“Eddie. Eddie,” Buck says, quiet, so soft. “Hey. Can you look at me?”
With a sigh, Eddie looks up at him, nodding instead of answering.
“You—you want something from me. Right?”
...or, Eddie learns how to ask for what he wants.

Summary
Just as Eddie starts to melt back into it, the phone buzzes again. Just as loud. Just as fucking insistent.
Eddie rips his mouth away with a frustrated sound, glaring down at where the phone is tucked away. “Seriously?”
Buck cringes as the buzzing continues. “Sorry. I’ll turn it off.”
He reaches into his pocket, but by the time it’s out, the call has timed out. Buck’s finger goes to hover over the lock button to shut the device off, but then the screen lights up again. Same buzzing. Same ringtone. This time, Tommy’s face and name flash brightly on the screen.
Eddie’s jaw clenches, hand still tightly fisted in Buck’s hair. “Answer it.” He says before he can stop himself.
Buck's head snaps up to look at him, eyes frantic and expression puzzled. “W-what? Now?”
“Buck,” Eddie says, voice firm and insistent, leaning in to ghost a kiss along Buck’s cheek. “Answer the phone.”

Summary
“I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”
“Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”
They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.
“Well—”
Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”
“I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”
or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research

“And you’re gonna do that, where? At the 133?” Buck avoids his gaze. “Or you’re just transferring to a random station where nobody knows you and you can pretend you’re fine?”
“I’m going to the 217,” Buck finally says.
“You’re…” Eddie starts, then scrunches up his nose in confusion. “Why would you even want to–”
Oh no.
Oh hell no.
“Are you fucking serious right now?”
Buck doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even look at him.
“Buck.”
“What.”
Breathe, breathe, brea-
“No, no fucking what. You know exactly what.”

Summary
He’s so close. But Buck’s face sways even closer, eyes laser-focused on Eddie’s mouth, like he wants to ensure that what he whispers next make its way inside:
“The quiet, closeted catastrophe of Edmundo Diaz—performed nightly for an audience of none.”
Eddie flinches like the words hit skin. For a second, all the noise in his head goes silent, leaving gaping awareness and the awful, naked feeling of being seen.
“W-what—” Eddie’s voice cracks and he’s trying to frown, trying to be mad, but he feels exposed, so his words come out broken, quiet and confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

Buck blinked, “Thank you, Captain Obvious, I know that. I was dog sitting for a friend.”
“What friend?”
“Why does that matter?” Buck blinked at Eddie, who stared at him intently, head tipped.
“Because we don’t have a friend who owns a dog.”
“You don’t know all my friends?”
“Yes the fuck I do. We’ve been weirdly attached for years now and suddenly you’re telling me I don’t know all your friends? Lies. Fallacy and lies. Whose dog? Is this your mistress?”
Buck scoffed, “Eddie, I’m single, I don’t have a mistress.”

Summary
“Fuck it,” Eddie mumbled before unlocking the phone again and opening his text thread with Buck. They hadn’t texted since Buck asked him if he wanted a scone or a danish from their favorite coffee shop before their last shift. Eddie sighed and pressed the corner of the phone against his forehead.
He didn’t want to ask for help. He could spend another hour circling around the city. But he didn’t want to. He wanted this awful horrible day to be done. He wanted to hold his child and pretend for a little bit that everything was still whole. He sighed again before pressing call and pressing the phone to his ear.

Eddie finally asks for what he needs in the aftermath of the sudden loss of his Abuela. Buck finally stops running from his grief. And then Eddie’s parents show up.

He wonders if Buck ever thinks about it.
The sheets sticking to his damp skin, their sounds of pleasure echoing around the room, Buck telling him all the things he’s thought about doing to Eddie before. How Eddie would let him without question, knowing Buck would still take care of him even when given all the power in the world.
What this means for himself is something that’s hard to bear thinking about.
Or, Eddie comes to terms with what he deserves.

Summary
He’d kissed Buck. The thought had plagued him so much in El Paso, he just got so caught up in everything, he'd forgotten for a second that—
“Fuck. We… uh.” Eddie swallows hard around the lump in his throat, jaw working as he lifts his gaze to Buck. Buck’s staring off into the distance, eyes wide, mouth open, solid as a statue.“...We don't do that yet.” Eddie croaks.
Buck seems to come back to himself a little, and his eyes snap to Eddie’s. They're intense.
“No,” Buck replies, a flush on his face, “No, we don't.”

Summary
“Yeah, about that.” Harry interrupted, and May sighed. So much for subtlety, she supposed. “You and Eddie.”
“Are best friends.” He answered, with the finality of a conversation finished.
Buck might be used to being the annoying little brother, and May might be used to being the tired older sister, but Harry was ready in a way May had to find a little funny.
“I was going to say super gay.” Harry answered casually.
Buck sputtered. “I’m bisexual and you know I’m bisexual.”
“Okay and what’s his excuse?”

Summary
“Wanna dance?” Eddie asks, leaning only slightly away to look at Buck. He’s smirking now, eyes traveling all over Buck’s face, taking in his expression and the color blooming on his cheeks.
There’s a look in Eddie’s eyes now, one that Buck hadn’t quite seen before this trip. Or had he? Did it just not mean to him then what he realizes, or thinks, it means now? Regardless, it confirms a thought that has been niggling at the back of his mind all night.
Flirting. Eddie was flirting with him.
or, Buck visits Eddie in Texas a few months after he leaves LA. They road trip to Austin with Adriana to stay with Sophia, who has planned a night out on the town that none of them will soon forget - especially Buck and Eddie.
