Summary
“So Buck,” Hen took the warning look as an invitation, “Who are you kissing at midnight?”
Eddie choked on his drink, a few coughs spluttering out. Buck thumped his fist on Eddie’s back without thinking, leaving his hand there to rub soothing circles into his friend's back as Eddie caught his breath.
Eddie glared at Hen.
Buck looked between the two with suspicion before turning to Hen, letting his hand fall back to his lap, “No one I guess,” he shrugged, and then because he hates himself, “ since I can’t kiss the person I want to.”
It was the wrong thing to say.
Hen and Karen both straightened, their eyes widening in sync as they both leaned forward with interest. Eddie had gone still beside him, his body completely tense as he looked at Buck with wide eyes.
“Oh, do tell?” Karen pounced first.
Buck stammered and panicked, “Woah I mean-“
“Yeah Buck,” Hen grinned, “Who do you want to kiss at midnight?”
•••
Bucks a little sad that everyone has someone to kiss at midnight except him, even Eddie! Not that Eddie will tell him who it is he’s planning on smooching at the bells.

Summary
It was a scraped knee.
It was nothing.
Buck has had split lips, bruised limbs, and broken bones. Buck had his leg crushed by a firetruck. He was struck by lightning.
Yet somehow, it was this that caused his life to change. Some ripped turnout trousers covered in ash and muck. Gravel and drywall debris embedded into his skin. A scraped knee.
Okay so maybe it wasn’t just a scraped knee. There was the whole presumed dead thing, but still. Injury wise? This was nothing, plus he wasn’t even presumed dead for that long.
•••
buck gets a minor injury during a call, eddie confesses his feelings. oh, the presumed dead bit? don’t worry about that it’s literally nothing

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Maddie’s voice asks, slightly tinny.
The door struggles to open behind him and he drops the phone.
“Mads,” he says, panic slinking into every syllable. “I—I think—“
“Buck, come out,” Bobby says. “Please, baby.”
Buck’s stomach turns and he shakes his head. No, absolutely not. That—crime against humanity is what that is. As if lunch hadn’t been traumatizing enough.
“Was that Bobby?” Maddie’s voice is distant but rightfully alarmed.
“Something’s wrong with them,” Buck yells down at the phone. “I—I know I said I can get anyone to fall in love with me but this is not what I meant!”
or, the 118 gets dosed with a love potion.

Summary
Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”
“I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”
“Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”
“You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”
“-er,” Chim adds.
“Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”
Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.
Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”
Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.
Or: the one where Eddie subconsciously flirts with Buck without realizing and Buck is actively trying not to have a heart attack at work about it

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.

Summary
It was Claire, a girl in his class, who had first broached the subject, who had planted the very idea, which obviously meant all the scheming Christopher had done over the last month was entirely down to her. Besides he didn’t understand what his father could possibly be so upset about? He certainly hadn’t been complaining during their dates. In fact, given he hadn’t once thought to question the situations they found themselves in- even during the candle lit dinner, kind of said it all.
His dad wanted Buck.
or
Chris gets involved in Eddie's dating life.
What follows is a story of them falling deeper in love, and maybe finally realising it
