    Summary

    “C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.

    "What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.

    "You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”

    Eddie can’t believe his ears.

    "That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."

    “Oh so you concede?"

    Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

    Summary

    "I just—you do so much for me." Buck runs his hands through the hairs on the nape of his neck, tugging them lightly.

    "There is absolutely nowhere else I would rather be," Eddie walks up to him slowly, phone in hand. His other extends out, landing squarely on Buck's elbow. "Can I ask you a question?"

    Buck nods silently, distracted by the heat of Eddie's palm on his skin.

    "Wanna dance with me?"

    Buck and Eddie slow-dance it out.

    Summary

    Looking down at the bottle’s label like he’s reading the countdown clock on a bomb, Eddie says, “Buck.”

    “Eddie.”

    Said Eddie huffs. Buck suspects he also had to fight back the urge to stomp his foot with that one. “I don’t need… I’m fine. It’ll go away in a couple of days; it’s only when I stretch weird, anyway, so—”

    “Or, hear me out,” Buck interrupts coolly, “you could, I don’t know—relax? A few bubbles won’t bite, Eddie.” Then, softer: “It’s a muscle soak. It’ll help, I swear.”

    Eddie holds out the bottle and points at it despairingly. “Citrus jamboree,” he whines.

    “It’s a party,” Buck shrugs.

    Summary

    Eddie tries to confront everything holding him back over a cold beer and an empty house.

    And Buck gets a voice message he definitely isn’t meant to receive.

     

    Or: Eddie crashes out, comes out, and makes out (with Buck) (in that order).

    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.
