    Summary

    “What, uh,” Buck says, stopping at the top of the stairs. “What’s going on here?”

    Sam steps around the island, grinning, “Hey, man! I made spaghetti to thank everyone for the warm welcome. Want me to make you a plate?”

    Warm? Welcome?

    For the guy who lied to a room full of bureaucrats who were ready to fire Chimney over it?

    A clink of silverware hitting porcelain drags Buck’s confused glare back to the table, as four other sets of silverware follow after it. Like a wind chime of betrayal, ringing the bitter song of the 118’s treachery, their silverware sings with shame.

    At least, that’s what it sounds like to Buck.

    --

    Or, Buck catches Sam cooking for the 118.

    Summary

    Buck yanks his boxers down and stands there, in Eddie’s room, nakedly. 

    …What the fuck is he doing? 

    Is his solution to accidentally catching an eyeful of Eddie’s dick to flash him back?

    Stomach swooping, Buck scrambles to pick his briefs back off the floor. At the same moment, the bedroom door cracks open. 

    He hears Eddie’s sharp inhale, head snapping up in time to watch Eddie scramble for the light switch, plunging them into darkness. 

    Fantastic. Now they’re staring at each other in the dark. And Buck’s dick is still out. 

    Alright. Buck can work with this. 

    “Hey, man,” Buck says, feigning nonchalance.

    This is a battlefield. There is no room for modesty.  

    An incredulous giggle slips past Eddie’s lips. “Were, uh. Were you planning on sleeping naked?”

    Or: Buck and Eddie run into each other naked. Several times. For some reason.

    Summary

    “They say humans kill or destroy what they’re afraid of, and I’m no different,” Buck says sadly.

    Oh Buck… No, you’re not,” Eddie tries to comfort Buck, even if he’s not fully sure what is unraveling in front of his eyes.

    A tear spills down Buck's cheek. “Yes, I am. That’s exactly what happened, Eddie,” his voice wobbles. “I took one look at the innocent spider, and I got scared, so I killed him.”

    Before he can process his feelings properly, words come out of his mouth. “I love you so much,” Eddie breathes out.

    OR: Buck kills a spider and has big feelings about it. Eddie has even bigger ones.

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz: father, veteran, firefighter, gay. It’s that easy. A descriptor, a word that Eddie’s spent his entire life running from.

    It’s a fucking relief to realise now that he’s stopped running. The burn in his muscles will linger, but it’s okay. It will serve as a reminder of how far he’s come.

    Beside him, Buck huffs a laugh. “I can’t believe you did a honky tonk dance.”

    Eddie laughs, startled. “I can’t believe you didn’t."

    Or: on the drive back to Los Angeles, Eddie works up the courage to tell Buck the truth.
