    Summary

    Eddie’s too busy thinking about the implications of what Buck had just told him, realization crashing into him hard at just how much impact on his life Buck has had—in huge, eye-opening ways, but in soft, subtle, gentle nudge of a domino ways too—to notice Buck’s hand moving, slowly, until the front of his shirt is pinched between Buck’s thumb and curved forefinger. He’s barely holding it, like this small act means something so much bigger, and Buck can’t bring himself to go the whole way, not without knowing and being certain of the answer, but the shift of fabric is enough to snap Eddie back to the present, eyes dropping to where Buck holds his shirt before looking up. Buck lifts his eyes at the same moment and they meet in the middle. They’re red ringed and shining, something raw and desperate reflected back at Eddie, and he wonders what Buck sees in his.
    “I just want to feel alive. Please help me feel alive.”

    5 times Buck and Eddie pretend they're just giving each other what they need + 1 time they actually ask for what they want.

    Summary

    Buck swipes his tongue over his blood-splattered lips, the metallic taste lingering on his tongue. Something sharp pinches the back of his hand, and he waits for the familiar, almost comforting sensation of pain medication to begin to flood through his veins.

    The pain begins to recede to a more welcoming ache, though it continues to ripple across his pelvis in small waves. Buck’s body slumps against the rubble as the last of the adrenaline begins to leave his body. His vision swims in and out of focus, but one constant thought manages to break through the fog.

    Eddie.

    He needs them to know.

    Summary

    For months, Buck has been professionally harassed over dispatch by one infuriatingly calm operator with a smug voice, a superiority complex, and a deeply concerning habit of calling him sweetheart over an active emergency line.

    Buck hates him.

    Obviously.

    Then he meets Eddie Diaz in person and unfortunately discovers that the smug voice comes with stupidly nice hands, unfair eye contact, and a thirteen-year-old son who immediately decides Buck is his problem now.

    Worse, Eddie gets weirdly possessive every time someone else looks at Buck too long.

    Worse than that, Buck likes it.

    And when a bad call turns into a building collapse and Eddie has to listen to Buck trapped beneath it over an open dispatch line, suddenly none of it feels like a joke anymore.

    Or: Buck and Eddie fall in love while arguing over city emergency communications, and literally everyone is tired of them.

    Summary

    Chris smiles up at him like it’s any other day, like Buck didn’t almost kill him less than twenty-four hours ago. “Are you staying for breakfast?”

    “Buck’s staying the whole day,” Eddie announces before he can answer. 

    “You are?” Chris asks at the same time Buck says, “I am?”

    “Yep,” Eddie says with a finality to it that Buck is hopeless to argue over. 

    “Cool!” Christopher grins. 

    “Cool,” Buck echoes with a forced, strained smile. He’d rather be alone and hiding under the covers right now, throwing himself another pity party.

    Summary

    “Would you rather a baby be hit by a car?” Buck barrels on, tucking Nightcrawler against his chest and staring Eddie down, blinking rapidly to force tears into his eyes. “Just so you wouldn’t have to see her unseemly lack of a fourth leg?”

    “Buck,” Eddie says incredulously.

    Time for the finale. “Should I leave, too, Eddie? Since you clearly are so disgusted by amputees, I wouldn’t want to make you live with such filth.”

    Eddie runs a hand down his face, and Buck knows he’s got him. He feels bad. Almost. But then again, Eddie sort of forces Buck to trick him. If Eddie would have let him get a cat, Buck wouldn’t have had to spend weeks manipulating him. “Oh my god, you’re evil.”

    I’m evil? Me, the amputee, with my amputee cat, getting kicked out of my— of our own home, I’m the evil one.”

    or, amputee Buck brings home a cat with three legs
