    Summary

    “Anyway, it’s not a big deal; it happens to everyone at some time or another here. Like Ravi with Buck,” Ravi throws his hands in the air, defeated. “Or like Bobby with me,” Bobby shrugs his shoulders at the group while Buck gapes at him. “Or Buck with Eddie when he first started,” Chimney nods at the final pair, inhaling another slice of pizza into his huge mouth, humming in approval, unaware that five sets of eyes were now locked onto him. He opens his eyes and pauses. “What?”

    It takes a moment, but it finally clicks in Chimney’s head. “Oh, fuck,” he flashes his eyes to Buck in terror, wide-eyed, and Buck truly loves the guy, loves him like a brother, but sometimes he wishes Chimney wasn’t his actual brother because Maddie has clearly shared this little Buck fact with Chimney Can’t-Keep-A-Secret-To-Save-His-Life Han, and it’s not like Buck can kill Chimney because he’s Jee’s dad and it’s just –

    Great.

    This is great.

    ***

    Or Buck fell first, Eddie fell harder, and it makes them both look stupid.

    Summary

    “Huh, you know, I never thought about it like that,” Eddie says, out of the blue.

    Buck glances up from his plate, “About what?” he asks.

    “It actually makes sense— Us being together, I mean,” Eddie explains, casually, gesturing with his hands.

    Buck almost chokes, “What?”

    (Or, everyone in New México calls Eddie gay, assuming he’s with Buck. He thinks they might be onto something…)

    Summary

    Of all the things Eddie had ever expected Buck to ask him about, he absolutely hadn’t thought it would be his fake dating services.

    “I... Yeah, I do. I do that. Why?”

    “Well, um, I was wondering... And I know this sounds really weird, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever really talked to you before, which I’m sorry about, by the way, because I'm sure you’re a really cool guy, and I know I’ve seen you at some parties before, and we’ve been in this class together all semester, but—”

    Finally, Eddie manages to pull himself together enough to hold up a hand to stop Buck’s rambling, and the boy immediately snaps his mouth shut, blue eyes wide and a little panicked.

    “Buck, what exactly do you want?” he asks, brow furrowed with confusion, and Buck’s nervous shuffling increases tenfold, his smile completely gone now.

    “Right. Um. I... I was wondering if maybe you’d be willing to, um... to fake date me.”

    -or-

    Eddie Diaz fake dates girls to make a little extra cash on the side. He's shocked when football star Evan "Buck" Buckley requests his services for the Christmas holiday.

    Summary

    They were trapped.

    Fire hadn’t broken through yet, but it was coming. Buck could feel the heat pushing in, wrapping around them like a warning. The smoke thickened, clawing at their throats, painting the walls with a haze of panic.

    “So…” Eddie’s voice cut through the haze, rough around the edges but maddeningly calm. “You wanna talk about it now?”

    Buck turned slowly, disbelief etched across every exhausted line of his face, and he hoped his deadpan glare said it all. He didn’t need to ask what Eddie was referring to.

    No, he didn’t want to talk about how he accidentally told his best friend he loved him just hours earlier.

    He’d rather let the fire take him.

    A season 9 two-part opening emergency, in which a group of hijackers takeover Station 118.

    Summary

    “I think it might be time for you to go.”

    “What—why?” Buck asked.

    “You’re a freshman, Buck,” Eddie accentuated the syllables of his name. “You shouldn’t really be here.”

    “I have just as much a right to be here as you do.” Buck argued, adjusting himself so he was standing up perfectly straight. Making himself bigger. He was taller than Eddie, he noticed.

    So why did he still feel so small standing next to him?

    Evan “Buck” Buckley, freshman star of the UCLA hockey team shows up to university ready for the best four years of his life. The only problem? Everywhere he turns, senior baseball star Eddie Diaz seems to be standing in his way.
