Work Text:
Buck and Eddie have been together for about a month now and they had agreed to keep it to themselves and not tell the team just yet.
Immediately, 2 days after they started officially dating, they almost gave themselves away.
They had showed up to work late, arriving in separate cars but in the same state. Messy hair without product, bags under their eyes and right there on Eddie’s neck was a dark red and slightly purple hickey.
Chim had been the first to spot it.
“Wow you guys look horrible!” He had yelled out as soon as the two of them entered the locker room. He had scanned both of them before his eyes fell on Eddie’s neck and immediately a look of pure glee took over his face. “Did you have a fun night Eds?”
Chimney pointed at the mark on Eddie’s neck. Buck’s eyes widened slightly at the sight. Honestly he haven’t even been aware that he had done that, too caught up in the feeling of Eddie’s body all around him and too focused on making sure he made those gorgeous sounds again.
Chimney noticed the smirk on Bucks lips, he just decided against mentioning it.
He did tell Hen though.
After that incident, Eddie had convinced Buck to keep the marks below the collar.
Buck wasn’t eager to agree, he wanted to show everyone that Eddie was his. He did eventually agree when Eddie had told him he could mark him anywhere else he wanted, as long as his clothes could cover it.
And Buck did.
After that night Buck became obsessed with Eddie’s thighs. Touches, squeezes and eventually lingering bite marks and dark blooming hickeys that would last days.
Buck made sure to remind Eddie they’re there. Putting his and on his thigh during dinners, making sure no one saw and squeezing where he knew the marks lingered.
He had never heard Eddie complain though. Quite the opposite. He never said he wanted Buck to leave more marks but every time he did he shivered and his hands flew to tug at Buck’s hair. Low groans and breathless moans leaving his lips and that reaction was enough for Buck to know that Eddie did not mind at all.
Especially not last night while he was teasing him with the anticipation and promise of sucking his cock. Buck made sure to leave new marks by the ones that have almost faded as moaned and begged for him to just get on with it.
After they were done and Buck made sure to clean Eddie up he looked back at the darkening marks all over his boyfriends body, mainly focused on his hips and thighs, with an almost proud glint in his eye.
proud that if anyone were to somehow try to get with Eddie, there would be obvious traces of his mouth and his teeth making it obvious that Eddie was his . That he had been there and made sure Eddie would be reminded he was too.
Thinking back now, maybe he was a little too excited.
He could have achieved that goal with a few less marks. but honestly, who the hell expects this to happen.
They’re at their last call of the day at a high school where a bleacher had collapsed when the weight of a bunch of people became too much to bear for the old metal.
The injuries aren’t that bad just a few people with cuts, some deeper than the others, and 2 girls who unfortunately landed at the bottom, stuck between two scraps of metal.
Buck and Eddie go down to help them. They get the girls free in quick succession and hand them over to Chim and Hen to treat their cuts and check everything else
Being left alone buck steals a kiss from Eddie’s lips, catching the shorter man off guard.
But while they climb back up themselves, Eddie doesn’t notice a piece of broken off metal, he trips and the metal cuts through the inside of his right thigh.
“Fuck!” Eddie screams out before quickly climbing the last step out and sitting on a stable part of the bleachers. Buck looks over to him at the grunt of pain he lets out. There’s blood quickly staining his dark pants and Eddie’s hands when he tries to take care of his own injury.
“Eddie!” Buck rushes to his side and pulls Eddie’s hands off to inspect the cut. It’s pretty deep but not enough to leave damage aside from a scar, and there’s a small piece of metal still in his thigh.
Hen notices them and quickly finishes up with her patient before grabbing her medical bag and rushing over.
“Shit Eddie, how did you manage to do this.” she asks while digging through the bag to take care of him.
“I don’t fucking know i was distracted.” Eddie’s face is twisting in pain and Buck’s hand instinctively reaches out to grab at Eddie’s own who squeezes back.
Hen pulls out some scissors and she cuts open Eddie’s pants to make more room to take care of the wound.
More of Eddie’s skin is revealed and so are the dark red and bruising marks from the night before.
Chimney has perfect timing as he walks up behind Hen. “Jesus Eddie did you get mauled by a bear”
“No i tripped on a scrap piece of metal.”
Hen huffs out a laugh. “I don’t think he’s talking about the cut man.”
“No i was not. Was this guy trying to eat you or something? They’re everywhere man!”
“Yeah eat him out probably” Hen comments quickly while she’s still taking care of the cut.
Eddie’s face goes bright red, realising what they’re talking about. Meanwhile Buck is trying to cover his smile behind his free hand.
“Fuck can we please just take care of the damn wound! Come on, focus! I’m bleeding out here!” Eddie is desperately trying to avoid looking at Buck.
“The cut is not that deep you baby” Hen says. She carefully pulls out the piece of metal and starts cleaning the wound.
Chimney however, doesn’t let him go that easily.
“You look like you wrestled a whole pack of wild raccoons with your thighs!” Buck lets out a laugh at the comment, which earns him a smack on his bicep from his free hand.
“Don’t fucking laugh at me, asshole!” His hand gives Buck’s a painful squeeze to amplify his comment.
“Jokes aside, looks like you had a lot of fun. I just want to ask… There’s no way it feels that good to the point you let this bootleg vampire attempt to suck all the blood out of your body!” Chim is desperately trying to hold his laughter.
Eddie doesn’t attempt to give a suitable reply. He’s becoming slowly more irritated at the comments.
“There’s no way this guy enjoyed this that much either right?”
Somehow that’s breaks him.
“God i don’t fucking know ask him!” He looks at Buck who is desperately trying to look round for someone to fame but there’s no one behind him to do so.
Both hen and Chim still and look at each other before they both burst out in laughter.
“No that somehow makes a lot of sense.” Hen says as she finishes taking care of Eddie’s cut. “Of course Buck is a thigh guy.”
“Hey! we were making fun of Eddie!”
“Well obviously you were a willing participant.” Hen comments and stands up, gesturing at the bruises still exposed on Eddie’s thigh.
Buck goes bright red, there’s no way to deny that. He’s honestly not that good at lying. He still tries. Horribly.
“Well- you know- i- i umm”
“Oh my god.” Eddie sighs “We had sex! So what?”
“I mean that much was obvious.” Hence speaks at the same time Chim says. “No shit.”
They both laugh and right as they seem to let it go, Chimney turns back around.
“i’m definitely telling Maddie!”
“Don’t tell my sister about my sex life!”
“Too late already typing out the text.”
“No but really we’re happy you finally figured out your shit.” Hen says. “Just one very important question, how long ago exactly did you figure it out?”
“About a month ago.” After Buck answer a large smile spreads across her face turning to Chim with an open hand
“Pay up loser!” Chim hands her about 50 dollars.
“You guys bet on us?”
“Of fucking course we did you have been oblivious as hell for years, it’s been exhausting.” Chim laughs again and they turn away and leave Buck and Eddie by themselves.
“Well.. I guess ‘s the secret is out.” Buck sighs, he’s standing up and helping Eddie get up as well.
“This is not at all how i was planning it to go.” Buck is helping eddie back to the truck and they leave to head back to the station where they have a chat with Bobby and sign some paperwork before heading home.
At the next shift Chimney walks up to Buck and drops something in his lap.
“What is this?”
“it’s your halloween costume for next year. Though i’m not sure you really need the costume itself.” Chim says as he walks to the kitchen.
Buck flips over the bag in his lap and spots the picture of a crappy vampire costume.
Eddie who is sat next to him laughs while Buck turns to make sure chim sees the middle finger he gives him.
