Delirious Confessions
The firehouse was quiet, the rest of the 118 crew having long since retired to their bunks for the night. Buck sat alone at the kitchen table, a half-empty mug of coffee growing cold in his hands. He could feel the weight of exhaustion pulling at his eyelids, the aftermath of a grueling 24-hour shift that had been one emergency after another.
Eddie had been by his side through it all, as he always was—steadfast, reliable, and so achingly present that he could hardly stand it. They had saved lives together, fought fires side by side, and shared quiet moments of vulnerability when the adrenaline had faded and left them raw.
Now, with the night pressing in around him and the tiredness making his head spin, Buck felt something shift inside him. It was a truth he had been dancing around for months, maybe even years, but in the stillness of the firehouse kitchen, it bubbled up, unbidden and undeniable.
He needed to tell Eddie. He needed to say the words that had been haunting him, the confession that felt like it was tearing him apart from the inside out.
Buck stood, his movements unsteady as he made his way to the bunk room. His heart was pounding, a rhythm that seemed too loud in the silence. He paused at Eddie's bunk, watching his friend sleep, the rise and fall of his chest a testament to the calm that Buck so desperately craved.
"Eddie," Buck whispered, his voice a hoarse croak. "Eddie, wake up."
Eddie stirred, his eyes fluttering open, confusion etched across his features. "Buck? What's wrong?"
Buck sank to his knees beside Eddie's bunk, his hands trembling as he reached out, fingers brushing against his arm. "I can't keep it inside anymore, Eddie. I'm so tired, and it's like I can't think straight, but maybe that's good. Maybe I need to be this tired to say it."
Eddie sat up, concern replacing the confusion. "Say what, Buck? You're scaring me."
"I love you," Buck blurted out, the words spilling from him in a rush. "I love you, and it's not just because I'm exhausted. I love you in the morning when we're gearing up for a call, I love you when we're covered in soot and sweat, I love you when you're laughing and when you're hurting. I love you, Eddie," Buck continued, his voice raw with emotion. "I know it's probably the worst timing, and I'm deliriously tired, but I can't hold it in any longer. You mean everything to me, and I can't imagine my life without you in it."
Eddie's eyes widened, a mix of shock and something softer flickering in their depths. He reached out, cupping Buck's face in his hands, his touch warm and grounding. "Buck, I... I don't know what to say."
Buck's heart hammered in his chest, uncertainty creeping in alongside the vulnerability of his confession. "You don't have to say anything, Eddie. I just needed you to know."
But Eddie's gaze held a tenderness that Buck had never seen before, a depth of feeling that mirrored his own. "I love you too, Buck. I love you more than words can say, and I've been too scared to admit it. I thought I was the only one feeling this way."
In that moment, exhaustion and confession mingled in the air between them, creating a space where truth could flourish. Buck leaned in, his lips meeting Eddie's in a kiss that was both gentle and fierce, a promise of all the words they had yet to say.
And as they finally pulled apart, the weight of their shared truth settled around them like a blanket, offering comfort and a promise of a future where their love could thrive, even in the midst of exhaustion and uncertainty.

I really love the idea of Buck being the one who's been secretly in love with Eddie the whole time. Because when it comes to Eddie, he doesn't really seem to give much thought to dating until someone pushes him to it?? But Buck always seems to be thinking about how to be a better person (choosing to go to therapy, being open about what he wants in a relationship and such). So in my head, between the two, Buck is the one more likely to figure it out first before Eddie. And he's just sweet enough to think Eddie might not want this so he supports Eddie dating others and even dates people himself (thinking that this thing with Eddie will never happen so why not). It's like, he's pining but not in a "i will stay miserable about it" way??? Does that make sense?? Buck's just the kind of person who is like 'you might not love me but i will steal the moon for you, i will fight the world for you, i will bring you all the stars in the universe'.
Eddie is the kind if person who needs to be told "hey have you ever thought about dating buck? how he checks all your boxes? how you're both raising a child together and have each other's backs and are comfortable with each other?" and it makes him go OH, i never thought about that. And then he starts seeing Buck in a whole different way you know. Like, here's the person Chris likes, who will protect Chris and takes care of him like his own, who knows his family, who will always come save Eddie no matter what, who's been there for Eddie's highs and absolute lows. Like, all the things Eddie worries about when finding a partner is something Buck already fulfills. So why not date Buck?? Why did he never think of this??

omg 10 wips?? which one is your favourite?
better yet, what is your favourite line from each??
i cannot pick a favourite but here are some snippets from a few!!
1. aroace eddie
It was forced upon him with the expectation of a domesticity pertaining to romantic love. An expectation he could never live up to, for a reason he could never admit to - for fear of being known, of being shamed, of being different.
2. girldad!buck
I remember the first time you told me about the family you made for yourself in LA. About how your Captain felt more like a father to you than Philip ever did. About Hen and Chim who felt like your older siblings. And how Athena marrying Bobby made her your sort-of-not-really-but-kinda mother. I know the bond you all have has only grown stronger through the years. They are your family. Her family too, introduce her to them. Let her know her grandparents and her aunts and uncles; Maddie is right in that they would all love and accept her, no matter how long you think you’ve ‘kept her secret’.
Ask them for help. They will help you without any hesitation, okay?
I know Eddie is probably there with you, or you’ll be telling him as soon as you’ve finished reading this. Lean on him. Accept his help. Talk to him. You are each other's safety nets, so don’t be afraid to fall into him.
3. poet!buck #1
Later that week, Buck found himself alone in his apartment with the rain pattering gently on the windows. Not the most ideal weather for him, but if he wants to write about his thoughts from that night, and everyday since, he supposes it’s a fitting choice. Maybe The Universe is trying to help jog his memory - it’s not as if he remembers every excruciating detail of every moment.
He sat, with pen in hand, on the floor in front of the coffee table. Maybe not the wisest decision because his leg pain will inevitably flair up, especially if he’s not careful. But he got some floor cushions, the big and comfy circle kind - they’re not bean bags Eddie - that he brought for the purpose of playing board games with anyone who would keep him company.
Buck supposes trying to hack into his ten year old self’s brain to write some shitty poetry is also a good use for them.
4. poet!buck #2
They were sat just far enough from the others Eddie didn’t feel bad about starting this conversation now. Besides he was curious, and he’s almost died enough times to satisfy that curiosity (Buck had already taken care of the being brought back part of the idiom).
As Buck was about to say something more, a grape hit him in the forehead. He reeled back with an offended look and Eddie hid a chuckle behind his drink.
“What are you two love birds talking about?”
“None of your business, Howard.” He threw the grape back at Chim, Eddie laughed at his offended expression.
“Oh come on. Were you just flirting with my brother in law, Diaz?”
Eddie smirked, “Oh yeah. I was telling him all the things I would do to him when we make you look after Chris next week. Like-”
“Oh gross. I love you boys but I do not want to be hearing about your sex life,” Hen interrupted, Chim exaggeratedly nodded along with her while the others laughed at her disgust.
“Chim asked! Besides, I never said it was about sex.”
“Alright, knock it off now. The actual kids are coming to eat, let’s keep it age appropriate?”
Buck floundered, “But- but I know so much about your sex life because of Bobby that’s not fair.”
Athena shut him up with a warning glare, Bobby pressed a smiling kiss to her temple.

Buddie soft morning
The first light of dawn crept through the half-open blinds, casting a warm glow across the room where Evan and Eddie were nestled under a cocoon of soft blankets. The world outside was quiet, the usual hustle and bustle not yet begun, allowing them a few more precious moments in their sanctuary.
Buck's eyes fluttered open to the sight of Eddie's peaceful face, his breathing deep and even in sleep. A smile tugged at Buck's lips as he watched the man he loved, the rise and fall of Eddie's chest a comforting rhythm that he had come to cherish. With the utmost care not to wake him, Buck inched closer, closing the miniscule distance between them, until his forehead rested gently against Eddie's.
It wasn't long before Eddie stirred, the sensation of Buck's warm breath against his skin coaxing him from the depths of sleep. His eyes opened to meet Buck's soft gaze, a silent greeting that filled the room with an unspoken affection. "Morning," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep but tender with emotion.
"Morning," Buck replied, his hand finding Eddie's under the blankets, fingers intertwining as naturally as if they were made to fit together. They shared a smile, and then Buck leaned in, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips. It was a simple gesture, but it held all the love and history between them.
The kiss deepened as Eddie responded, his hand cradling Buck's cheek, thumb caressing the skin there. They took their time, savoring the intimacy of the moment, the way their lips moved together in a dance as familiar as it was exhilarating. There was no urgency, no need to rush through the affection they so freely gave one another.
Eventually, they parted, but only just, their foreheads still touching as they shared soft breaths and quiet laughter. "We should probably get up," Eddie said, though he made no move to leave the warmth of their bed.
"In a minute," Buck replied, and that minute turned into several as they lay there, wrapped up in each other, exchanging lazy kisses and soft touches that spoke of a deep, abiding love.
When they finally made their way to the kitchen, it was with a sense of contentment, their hands still joined. They moved together with an ease born of countless mornings just like this, making coffee and breakfast with shared glances and small touches.

I don't need no candlelight, you just need to fuck me right

Summary:
“You know,” Buck scrambles up from where she’s sitting on Eddie’s couch, “I can watch Chris any time you need to go on a date.” The offer is a bit bashful, but Eddie can tell it’s sincere and it makes her choke.
Has she been so obvious in her long-lasting crush on Buck that she feels the need to chase her off? She tries to discourage her with a “no, it’s okay” but Buck insists.
She rolls her eyes and says, “come on, you don’t want to struggle to find someone every time.”
Eddie isn’t sure what her face looks like. She knows she scrunches her nose and furrows her brow and Buck still doesn’t look discouraged. “Are you sure that’s not uncomfortable considering...”
“It was one date, I’ll be fine.” That was Eddie’s worry. She’s going to spend every date wishing that they looked, talked, smiled, laughed, and smelled like Buck since she couldn’t have the real thing. She would be disappointed every time.
