This Christmas coming a few weeks after Eddie gets home from the hospital after being shot is an intense one for Buck.
Not only did he see his best friend get shot right in front of his face, but he quickly realized that if Eddie doesn’t make it he’d never be able to tell him I love you.
He didn’t realize he had those kinds of feelings for his best friend.
Obviously he loves him— that’s his best friend— but seeing Eddie hurt like that and not knowing if he’d make it out of it, it brought up a lot of emotions and feelings in Buck that must have been buried deep down and locked away.
Now that Eddie’s okay and everything is basically back to normal— apart from knowing he’s fully in love with his best friend— Buck is trying to get through this holiday in one piece and he’s hoping that he can get over these feelings for Eddie and start fresh in the new year.
They’re throwing a bit of a Holiday bash at the station since many of them have to work and it’s always a better Christmas when they’re all together.
With all the kids there, Buck decided to rent a Santa costume so that he could dress up for them. And he’s a little bit too excited to be able to be Santa for his niece, even though she definitely won’t remember this when she’s older.
He didn’t tell anyone he was doing this so coming back upstairs dressed up as Santa surprises more than just the children.
“Santa?” Chris and Denny question as they see him reach the top of the stairs.
“Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!” Buck bellows out in his best Santa impression.
“That’s just Buck,” Denny realizes, telling Chris who agrees with him.
So they’re too old to believe in Santa, right.
At least Jee-Yun isn’t.
The adults all poke fun at Buck for thinking these kids would believe he’s really Santa. Except for Eddie.
Eddie just stands there watching Buck.
He isn’t sure what to make of it. He’s not doing anything weird or different, Buck has noticed Eddie watching him while he’s doing something silly or ridiculous but this feels different somehow.
Maddie suggests taking pictures of the kids with Buck dressed as Santa so Buck sits down and takes pictures with each of the kids, ending with his bouncing niece on his lap. He smiles at her, happy that she at least believes this fantasy he was trying to provide these children with on Christmas.
He hands Jee back over to Maddie and looks at the pictures she took on her phone with her. He looks up when he’s done and makes eye contact with Eddie across the room, watching him.
Buck feels heat throughout his body immediately and it has nothing to do with this warm costume.
The eye contact that Eddie is holding with him right now— it feels like there’s an electric current buzzing between them. He’s never felt like this when looking at Eddie.
Buck looks away, it’s becoming too intense and he doesn’t need to end up with an erection in this costume at a work family Christmas event.
Buck heads back downstairs, needing a breather and maybe to change out of this costume. He had already tossed the beard and hat on the couch upstairs after the photos and now he unbuttons his jacket, revealing his white tank top underneath. He walks into the locker room and takes a seat on the bench.
This feels better. Buck takes some intentional breaths until—
He sees Eddie making his way towards him and he’s suddenly extremely hot again. Eddie walks in and leans back against the glass to look at Buck.
“Did you buy a Santa costume?” Eddie asks, which is not what he was expecting. He doesn’t know what he was expecting but it wasn’t that.
“Uh—“ he stutters. “No? No, I rented one,” he says.
“Hmm,” Eddie hums, nodding his head slowly. He pushes off the wall and over to Buck who finds himself standing for some reason. He allows Eddie to grab him by the jacket and walk him back towards the lockers until he feels them press into his back then Eddie’s mouth is on his.
Buck’s hands instantly grab onto Eddie’s waist as he pulls him into him and kisses him back hard, moving his tongue against Eddie’s. Buck’s never experienced a kiss quite like this one.
He pulls back slightly, looking at Eddie intently, hoping this wasn’t some insane mistake. Eddie looks at him fondly and says softly, “You might have to buy it when I’m through with you.”
Buck’s jaw drops before he starts laughing softly. “That was fucking hot,” he says, leaning in for another kiss.
Eddie moans into the kiss, his fingers running up into Buck’s hair, pulling on the longer strands lightly.
“Fuck, Eddie,” Buck moans as he moves his mouth over to Eddie’s jaw then down to his neck. Eddie’s thigh is between Buck’s legs and he can feel how hard Buck is right now.
Buck sucks on Eddie’s neck lightly before moving on, not wanting to make any mark too dark as he has no idea what this is between them right now.
Eddie pulls back, stepping an arms length away as he keeps his palm flat on Buck’s chest. Buck wants to reach out for him but doesn’t, instead he waits.
Eddie looks like he’s trying to regain his breath to be back to normal which makes Buck feel a buzzing inside of him that he is having this effect on Eddie.
Eddie looks him in the eye and says, “Come over after this.” It wasn’t a question and even to Buck, he would come over regardless of the reasoning.
“Yeah,” Buck says simply, smiling softly, trying not to blush too much, the way he can see Eddie blushing.
“And bring the costume,” Eddie adds as he slides his hand up his pec and to his shoulder, squeezing once before letting go and leaving the room leaving Buck reeling.
Holy fuck, did that just really happen?
***
Once everything was wrapped up and ready to go, Buck followed Eddie and Chris back to their house. Both of them weren’t on shift tonight but still wanted to be with everyone so Buck threw that all together to make sure they were.
It’s not late so Buck and Eddie sit with Chris in the living room and watch a movie together until Chris falls asleep with his head resting against Buck’s arm. Eddie brings him to bed and tucks him in.
Buck waits in the living room for Eddie to return. After putting the Santa costume in his bag, Buck had put in some dark jeans and a burgundy sweater, his tank top underneath.
Eddie comes back to the living room, the room illuminated solely by a lamp on the end table next to the couch and the TV that’s volume is very low. He sits back down on the couch, this time next to Buck.
Buck and Eddie immediately find each other's mouths, kissing deeply and passionately, like they need it to survive. Buck pulls Eddie onto him, having him straddle him. Buck moans into the kiss, running his hands up and down Eddie’s back under his Henley.
Eddie grinds down hard against him, his lips moving over to Buck’s neck.
“Mmmph, Eddie,” Buck moans softly, his hands moving down to grab onto Eddie’s ass— finally getting his hands on it. “I’ve wanted this for so long,” he says, grinding up to meet every one of Eddie’s moves.
Eddie pulls back from kissing him to look into his eyes. He has a fond smile on his face, his big brown doe eyes looking at him softly. “You have?” he asks softly in the space between them.
“I’ve wanted you in my arms like this from the first moment I laid eyes on you, I just pushed that want down and morphed it into jealousy,” Buck says honestly, chuckling softly at himself. Eddie’s fingers gently touch Buck’s chin, lifting his face up to look at him. “When you got shot—“ Buck finds himself saying. “It changed a lot for me. It made me realize how deeply in love with you I am and how I never want to lose you.”
Eddie has tears in his eyes and a soft smile and Buck holds him close in his arms. Eddie leans in and kisses him softly, lovingly. He pulls back enough to say, “I love you so much, Buck.”
Buck smiles, leaning in to kiss him again softly. “Yeah?” he asks against his lips.
“Mmhm,” Eddie hums. “You’re it for me, sweetheart.”
“Fuck,” Buck moans as he deepens the kiss, pulling Eddie harder into him. Eddie moans into the kiss, grinding down on him hard.
“You should put the costume back on,” Eddie tells him.
Buck pulls back to look at him and smirks. “You like the costume huh?” he teases, watching the blush spread onto Eddie’s cheeks.
“Since I saw you in it, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about riding you while you’re in it,” Eddie tells him honestly, his cheeks bright red.
Buck’s dick twitches, bucking his hips up a little into Eddie who presses back down onto him harder. “Your wish is my command,” Buck teases, as he grabs Eddie into his arms and places him on the couch next to him. He grabs his bag near the door and disappears to Eddie’s room to change. He removes everything before putting on the pants and the coat, leaving it unbuttoned. He puts the hat on and then makes sure he looks good— he does— and then grabs lube from his bag that’s just always in there now before making his way back out to Eddie who stripped down to just his boxer briefs.
“Someone was impatient,” Buck teases as he makes his way back around the couch, standing over Eddie who’s sitting on the couch.
“You shouldn’t look this fucking hot in a Santa costume,” Eddie tells him instead.
“Since when do you have a Santa kink?” Buck teases, smirking at him.
“I don’t— I have a Buck kink,” Eddie says, super proud of himself for that one.
Buck chuckles softly then gets down onto his knees on the floor in front of Eddie. He slowly slips Eddie’s boxers off and takes his hard cock into his mouth in one swift motion.
“Fuck,” Eddie moans softly, his fingers instantly running through Buck’s hair, knocking the hat right off his head onto the floor.
Buck knows he’s good at giving head, whether he’s sucking someone’s dick or eating out someone’s pussy, but he’s never felt this fucking desperate to make someone cum just by blowing them. He can’t though— Eddie’s got a plan in mind and he’s going to follow through with it. He can suck him to completion another time because they can do that now. Eddie loves him.
Buck slowly pulls off and kisses up Eddie’s body to his lips. Eddie moans into the kiss, trying to pull Buck back up onto the couch. Buck does get up to sit on the couch and Eddie immediately climbs onto his lap. He grinds down hard against him and fuck, he feels so good on top of him like this.
Buck grabs the lube he brought and puts some onto his fingers and reaches around to circle a slicked up finger across Eddie’s hole.
“Have you ever—” Buck starts to ask as he presses his finger against his hole.
Eddie shakes his head. “Only my own fingers a couple times. I couldn’t really— you know—” he stutters out, looking shy.
Buck kisses his cheek then his lips. “Don’t worry, baby, I’m going to make you feel so good,” he tells him before shoving his tongue into his mouth. When he feels Eddie relax in his arms, he presses one finger inside of Eddie’s hole. Eddie moans deeper into the kiss as he takes Buck’s finger like a champ. Eddie’s grinding hard on him so Buck adds another finger, scissoring him open, and finding that sweet spot inside of him to make him feel really good.
Eddie moans, throwing his head back, “Fuck— oh my God, Buck, right there,” he says in a low whisper, trying to keep things quiet.
“You’re so beautiful,” Buck tells him, kissing at his neck, this time deliberately marking him up low on his collarbone.
Eddie’s moving up and down on Buck’s fingers, moaning deeply. “Need you now, Buck,” he tells him, his hands running up Buck’s chest to his neck.
Buck slowly removes his fingers and adds more lube onto his hand. While he does that, Eddie frees Buck’s hard, leaking cock and is stroking him softly, using the pre-cum as lubricant.
“Fuck, Eddie,” Buck moans before he replaces Eddie’s hand with his own to really get himself wet and ready to take Eddie apart. Once he’s good to go, Eddie positions himself over Buck’s hard cock, and slowly lowers himself onto it, Buck holding it still.
“Holy Fuck, Eds,” Buck moans as Eddie lowers himself onto his cock.
Eddie bottoms out and immediately takes Buck’s mouth to his, swallowing each other's moans as Eddie starts riding him, moving up and down slowly, Buck matching every one of his movements.
Eddie throws his head back, moaning softly, “Right there, shit, Buck.”
Buck fucks him harder, faster, deeper, meeting every one of Eddie’s moves as he continues to ride him, his hands braced on the couch on either side of Buck’s head. Buck’s hands are gripping onto Eddie’s waist and he brings his right hand up to cup Eddie’s face in his, kissing him softly.
“I love you, fuck, I love you so much, Eddie,” Buck tells him through uneven breathing. Eddie wraps his hand around his leaking cock and Buck moans at the sight. “Fuck, baby, yes, touch yourself, wanna see you cum for me. I’m so close— fuck your ass is so perfect.”
Eddie puts his face into the crook of Buck’s neck and moans deeply as he comes hard between them all over his own hand and Buck’s stomach. The clenching around Buck’s cock caused him to come hard inside of Eddie. He drags Eddie’s face to his and kisses him messily as they both come down from their orgasms.
Eddie pulls back enough to look at him and God, is he ever beautiful. “Looks like you will have to buy this costume in the end,” Eddie notes, looking down at the mess he made on Buck’s skin and onto the costume.
They both chuckle before Buck pulls Eddie into another kiss. He slowly pulls out of him and the two of them collect all their things and head to Eddie’s bedroom. Buck cleans himself in the washroom then grabs a warm washcloth for Eddie where he cleans him off in the bed before getting in beside him under the covers. Eddie cuddles close, putting his head on Buck’s chest, and his arm laying on his stomach.
It’s like he’s got his own personal Eddie heated blanket. Buck holds him close and kisses the top of his head. He can get used to this.
