Work Text:
10th April
Prompt: Stuck Together
In hindsight, Eddie thinks maybe spicing up his and Buck's sex life was not the brightest idea.
Listen, he thinks he should at least get a gold star for trying, not that Buck would agree right now, but he had seen an article about gay lovers and their nonexistent sex lives after marriage and panicked. He liked sex with Buck, he actually really fucking loved sex with Buck, and he was not about to sit back and watch their sex life die just because they were married.
At first, he thought he was a genius. Christopher was away for the week at science camp, so Carla had the week off and Buck thought it would be nice if they also booked the week off work to spend some time together. They had spent a lot of their savings on the wedding last year so had both agreed to no vacations this year, but they still had their vacation days to use up and could easily get some things done in the house and have a few date nights.
Eddie thought this week was the perfect time to trial some ideas he'd been having.
At first, Buck thought he was crazy. Now listen, they were as kinky as you would imagine, but lately, their sex had gotten lazy and Eddie sat for at least an hour convincing Buck that the needed to experiment if they didn't want to end up celibate by the time they hit 40. So Buck, albeit a little hesitant, agreed.
Buck right now, really wish he hadn't have agreed.
"You're going to have to let me call someone. I am not dying like this Eddie."
Now listen, Eddie was not ashamed of his sexuality, or his overall pining over Buck because listen, his husband was hot and if he slipped up every now and again about how great Buck is in bed, sue him, he is allowed to be proud.
This, however, he is not proud of, and he is not about to let anybody see what a massive fuck up he has done.
Their current predicament is as follows.
Eddie thought it would be a genius idea to bring handcuffs into the mix. Eddie did not anticipate on said handcuffs trapping both him and buck to the bed, both butt naked, with not a blanket nor pillow in sight to cover up their indecency.
Eddie currently had his back to the door, meaning that whoever walked into their bedroom would get a full view of his bare ass and member hanging between his legs, now very soft as the moment was long gone and he was pretty sure Buck would be holding off on having sex with him for at least a month after this.
It was only fair.
"Let me just, think."
"Eddie, baby, you've been thinking for two hours. I have lost all sensation in my fingers and I am so cold, my dick is going to fall off. Talk about a dead sex life, you'll be watching my dick fall off from frostbite pretty soon if we don't get out of this mess, now." Eddie stared at Buck with a raised eyebrow, his face screaming seriously?!
"Your dick is not going to fall off, stop being dramatic." Eddie turns his eyes back to the handcuffs and stares at them with hard eyes, hoping that if he just waits a little longer, they will melt from his gaze and release them both. It hadn't worked for the two hours they had been stuck there, so it most likely wasn't going to work now either.
"Come on, Hen once had to save Athena from a kinky handcuff situation once. She won't judge us, or she won't judge us publically."
"How do you know this? I doubt Athena would be happy with you knowing this story."
"Hen told me once when she came over during my recovery after the firetruck bombing. I was sad and wallowing and she had a picture of Athena handcuffed to a bed with some guy she hooked up with after her divorce. It did really cheer me up, but I was sworn to secrecy. What I am trying to say here babe, is that Hen will come to save us, let me get Hildy to call her."
"Who would you like me to call?" Hildy's voice boomed loudly in the bedroom making both men jump, Eddie face paling as he yelled back.
"NOBODY HILDY."
"Eddie! Admit the defeat, please. We are going to be stuck here forever if you don't get your head out of your ass and admit you fucked up. I promise I will drop this and never bring it up ever again if you just let me call somebody." Eddie's head fell onto Buck's shoulder with a groan, Buck using his once free hand to run through his hair. "I appreciate that you didn't want our sex life to die, and I promise we will sit and look at kinky things to do together, but we cannot do that if we die handcuffed to our bed."
Okay, Buck was right, Eddie needed to admit defeat. He really did not fancy his son coming home in six days and finding his dads dead, handcuffed naked to the bed. Okay, they probably wouldn't be dead, but they would be pretty close to it.
"Fine, but nobody from the 118 steps foot inside this bedroom."
"Deal. Hildy, call Maddie." Eddie's head shot up at such a speed the entire bed shook, but Buck refused to look at him, the smirk on his face too goddamn smug.
"Calling Maddie *yellow heart emoji*"
"Maddie? Seriously. You want your sister to see you naked?"
"I stripped naked and accidentally tried to join Maddie in the shower once. She can live with it." Buck shrugged, the shrill ringing making Eddie feel more and more nauseous.
"You what?!"
"Hey, Buck!" Maddie cut Eddie short before he could delve into whatever story Buck was going on about, but he made sure to tuck the information away for later. He is definitely going to need to hear about that one.
"Hey Maddie, listen, I need your help."
"Why do you sound really far away from your phone? Are you okay? Where is Eddie?"
"Oh, Eddie is here with me, I'm talking to you through Hildy right now."
"Are you both okay? I'm assuming it's nothing life-threatening because I would like to think you would use Hildy to call 9-1-1 instead of me. I know I work for 9-1-1 but this doesn't count, I am off the clock." Although she was teasing, Buck could still hear the slightly worried undertone. She knows that if anybody is going to call for help, but not actually call 9-1-1, it would be Buck.
"We are both fine, I mean, physically fine anyway, mentally, I think Eddie is about to snap. We need you to come to the house."
"I mean, I'm going to be about thirty minutes if you need me right now. I'm in the middle of a grocery shop. What's the matter with Eddie?" Buck let out a laugh when his husband's head fell against his shoulder again with a muttered "I'm going to die of shame."
"Nothing, nothing. Listen, that is fine, but you're going to need to let yourself in and come straight to the bedroom. I just need you to not be forever mentally scarred when you do eventually get here." The line went silent for a few seconds, the only sound being a distant announcement from the store she must be in.
"If you two are in some kind of sexual crisis, I renounce my sister title immediately."
"Maddie please, we will literally die if you don't come. Not today, but eventually." Eddie sat up ever so slightly to look at the pleading look on Buck's face. If Maddie refused to come save them, they would have to call Hen and Eddie would most definitely die from embarrassment, without being dramatic. This was already as bad as it gets.
"Fine. I don't want to know but, fine." She hung up pretty much straight away after that, Buck nodding triumphantly.
"Don't look too satisfied with yourself, she is going to lose her shit when she walks into this room."
"Yeah, but I am her sweet baby brother. It's the kinky ass brother-in-law who handcuffed me to the bed that is going to get her wrath."
"Please don't. I still don't think she has forgiven me for our engagement party and that was two years ago." Buck snorted, covering his mouth with his free hand.
"What? For you telling all our family and friends that you were only marrying me for my, what did you say, 'sweet ass'?" Eddie closed his eyes in despair, the traumatic flashbacks of being very hungover the next morning, trying to calm a seething Maddie who was not impressed with Eddie treating her brother like a piece of meat at their engagement party.
"Yes well I was a nice fiance and didn't tell her that I stayed sitting down the entire time she told me off because her sweet baby brother had railed me so hard after the party that I couldn't walk for a whole 24 hours."
"What can I say, babe, I can do no wrong in Maddie's eyes. She still sees her baby brother when she looks at me."
"Yeah well, she is going to see her baby brother's wood in all of its glory in an hour so her views may change." Rolling his eyes, Buck leant his head back with a sigh and let his eyes slip close, Eddie shaking his head at his husband fondly.
"I don't get how you're so calm. I thought you would have been mad at me or something." Eddie's voice was small, Buck opening one eye to see him pouting ever so slightly, his head no longer resting on his shoulder, but his chin was hovering like he wanted to get comfortable but couldn't bring himself to.
"I'm not mad Eddie. I know you've been worried we were going to lose our spark, but believe it or not, I didn't marry you just for the absolutely amazing hot sex we have. I like just being here with you, existing as your husband, in this house. I was looking forward to a week off where we could just do husband and husband stuff without worrying about Christopher doing his homework or having to cook three meals a day, or having to get all the laundry done so have clean work uniforms." Eddie looked up at Buck with wide eyes, Buck smiling softly at him as he turned his head towards him. "I love having sex with you, and I don't think I will ever get bored of lazy Sunday morning blowjobs or sloppy shower sex, and I don't need excitement in the bedroom to keep me in this relationship, and I would like to think you don't either."
"Of course I don't! I love you, and our sex, I just, I don't know, I got in my head a little. I don't want you to ever get bored of me."
"Eddie, we live extraordinarily crazy lives. I don't think I could ever get bored of you even if I tried, which I never will by the way. I love you, and your stupid sex-crazed ideas, no matter how stupid either are." Blushing, Eddie leant forward and placed a soft kiss on Buck's lips, smiling against his cheek with a sigh.
"I promise I will make this up to you, and Maddie."
"Yeah, I would start planning your apology to her now because she is never going to let you live this down."
Eddie looked at his husband with awestruck eyes, wondering how on earth he got so lucky to have landed a man as perfect as him. What was he thinking, their sex life would never die because they loved each other beyond the sex, and even if they go months without it, they still have each other's company and that will always be good enough.
They are interrupted by the sound of their front door opening, Eddie's heart plummetting as he tried to move his ass as far away from being angeled at the door as possible.
"Buck? Eddie? I'm here."
"In the bedroom Maddie," Buck yelled back, her footsteps hesitant as she approached their slightly ajar door. "Just, don't scream or yell or make any noise whatsoever, I just need you to hand me the key on the bedside table and that is it."
"I'm going to really regret this." She mumbled lowly before pushing the door open, her jaw hitting the floor, Eddie's eyes slamming closed. Maybe if he just willed himself away from the situation, he could pretend like this never happened.
"What. The. Fuck."
"The key Maddie, please." Buck's voice was strained, and Eddie could feel his blush spreading across his hot skin. Her feet moved swiftly across their carpeted floor and he heard the scrap of the key before Buck muttered a small "Finally." down his ear, Maddie making a beeline for the door, slamming it shut without a word. "Well, that could have gone a lot worse."
The relief both men felt when their hands fell limply onto the bed after almost three hours of being handcuffed stiffy was unmatched, and if Buck threw the handcuffs across the room to hopefully never be seen again, neither man said a word.
"I'm going to put clothes on and hopefully soothe my traumatised sister." Before getting off the bed, he landed a passionate kiss on Eddie's lips, leaving the man gapping as he watched Buck and his sweet ass walk into their closet, only to come out seconds later in sweats and a t-shirt. "Wish me luck." He slipped out of their room, Eddie throwing himself back onto the bed with a huff, praying it would suck him in whole so he could never have to face the outside world ever again.
It was that night when they were both curled up in bed against one another, the thought of sex for at least the rest of the day out the window as they just relished in the other's company, when Eddie remembered...
"So what was this about you trying to join Maddie in the shower?"
