"Did you know some snails can sleep for up to three years?"
Several disgruntled faces turned to eye up Eddie as they were all jostled around by the sudden turn of the fire rig, the man sighing softly and nudging his friend's leg to hush him.
It had been a long night shift, and no one was really in the mood for Buck being Buck.
"They also have like, over ten thousand teeth! Look!" He spoke excitedly as he turned his mobile around to face the group, an immediate blush crossing his cheeks when he found all eyes on him.
Even Bobby had glanced up through the rear-view mirror, raising his eyebrows in that judgemental 'really Buck?' way.
"Tough crowd tonight...jeez." The fire-fighter mumbled, sliding his phone back into his pocket and resting his head against Eddie's shoulder.
It wasn't an uncommon sight for them to be cuddly (they were best friends after all), but still the rest of the squad averted their gaze from the pair. As if they were intruding on something private and not just two bros enjoying eachothers company.
Eddie sighed heavily as he turned his head, peering down at his sulking friend. He'd always been weak to Buck's antics...so it didn't take very long at all for him to slide his arm over the man's shoulders, rubbing his back. He pressed his nose to his friend's hair, resting his eyes for a moment to subtly inhale that comforting woody, leather scent of his cologne and the warm citrus of his hair product. It wasn't weird for them to be sniffing eachother. They were just very good friends, with a shared appreciation for good cologne and aftershave.
It was just...maybe a little weird that Eddie became so distracted by Buck's scent that he didn't even realise they had reached the firehouse until someone interrupted their peaceful bubble.
"Uh, hey guys? You want to get out, or?" Bobby knocked on the side of the rig and the two men looked around in momentary confusion to find everyone else had already vacated. "Dinner's waiting in the oven for us."
"Yeah, Cap, be right there!" It was Buck who piped up in the end, his sparkling blue-green eyes flitting up to meet Eddie's dazed expression. He snickered, reaching to playfully flick his friend's chin to grab his attention. "Hey, you falling asleep on me?"
Not exactly.
Eddie's copper gaze lingered on his friend's plump lower lip, the man finally pulling himself together to offer a toothy grin. "Well if you'd stop snuggling me, cowboy, we could get out of here." He replied pointedly, shaking off his companion to escape the rig.
Buck was right on his tail, playfully trying to kick his leg out from underneath him before they were racing eachother up to the kitchen where everyone was already seated. The table had been set prior to their last call, and Bobby was just carrying over his special pasta bake when the two fire-fighters arrived. Of course Buck had won their little race, sliding into his usual seat and throwing his arms behind his head with a smug look on his face. Meanwhile Eddie settled at the end of the table, shaking his head as he reached for the pitcher of water.
"Looks good, Cap!" Buck beamed ear to ear as the fire captain ruffled his hair in that fatherly way he could only really tolerate from Bobby.
"Thanks. Alright, dig in kids." The captain smiled fondly as he watched them all converge upon the pasta bake like a pack of starving wolves.
There was something about these late night shifts that left everyone a little wired, so it wasn't surprising to anyone when Eddie decided to abandon their game of pool and drinking of juice mocktails to go grab a quick nap in the bunk room. It was even less surprising to them when Buck trailed off after him like a lost puppy, leaving Hen and Chimney behind to share an amused look of 'could they be any more obvious?'
"Eddie, wait up!" Buck jogged after his friend to catch him before the stairs, bumping their shoulders together. "So... you actually tired or are you just afraid to lose to me again?"
The other man shot him a look, his copper eyes crinkling with amusement as they headed downstairs together to the cots. It was empty, the only light being the faded yellow lamp in the middle of the room. Darkness was intentional, to allow them to sleep at any time of day...Buck had always found the moody atmosphere kind of sexy, though. As sexy as a room full of camping cots could be.
"Nah...honestly, I needed some space to relax after that nightmare afternoon we had."
"Oh." Shit. Eddie had wanted to be alone. "Uhhh...I'll...I'll head back upstairs?"
A firm hand clapped over his bicep as Eddie stopped him, a knowing smile on his face as he eyed his friend. Buck was so very cute when he got worried like that..."I'll never say no to your company, Buck. You're different."
They were best friends. It was impossible to be bothered by his presence.
Fortunately that seemed to get through to Evan and he grinned, hurrying over to their usual cots at the very back corner of the room. While the sleeping quarters were more of a 'first come first serve' kind of deal, everyone sort of knew already that these two were for Buck and Eddie. It was like an unspoken rule.
They were the only two cots that were pushed closer together. Because they were best friends, and it wasn't weird that they wanted to talk and fall asleep next to eachother during downtime.
It wasn't weird, no matter how much Chimney tried to tell them it was.
They each settled down onto their own bed, knees bumping slightly in the small gap between the two cots. Buck was already undressing down to his briefs - apparently he couldn't stand sleeping in too many clothes even while at the firehouse.
Eddie felt that his own approach was a lot more convenient for work - he remained in his shirt and the thermal leggings he wore under his pants. He yawned, laying down on his side to watch Buck finish undressing. Copper eyes lingered on his tattooed arm before moving to the thin scars beneath his friend's pecs, a softness in his expression.
Everyone at the 118 was well aware of Buck's transition. All of them had been there by his bedside when he had his top surgery. His parents hadn't been very supportive at all, but everyone else stepped up to the plate. Eddie had invited him to stay at his place during the recovery period, and he'd been the first to see the results. He would never forget the way Buck's eyes lit up with such happiness when he looked in the mirror for the first time, before whirling around to pick Eddie up in a bear hug. It was a good memory.
The other fire-fighter had caught him staring by now, a curious smile on his lips as he rested his arms behind his head. "Eds?"
"Do you remember when you came over last week?"
"Yeah...why?" Buck looked a little nervous again, dropping his hands back down into his lap.
Last week.
Christopher had been out at a sleepover, so they had decided to have a boys night in together. It had been the usual affair - back to back telenovela, pizza, and beer.
Until it wasn't usual...
Until Buck had gotten sleepy and rested his head on Eddie's shoulder - except this time, the man had kissed his birthmark and pulled him closer by a hand around his waist.
Until Buck had kissed his shoulder and wrapped his arms around him, nestling his head into the crook of his neck like some lovesick puppy.
Until Eddie had switched off the television and picked his friend up by the waist, carrying him off to bed where they collapsed into eachothers arms and fell asleep without a word between them.
It wasn't even a drunk, sexually charged mishap between two people. That would have been totally understandable. But no... it had been like they were a real, intimate couple for a few moments. That was weird. And they had never spoken about it again up until now.
"I've been thinking about it... about us."
"Eddie, we don't have to do this..." Buck gave a stressed little sigh as he rolled over to face him.
"Actually? I think we should. Because whatever is happening between us...it's not only affecting us anymore." Diaz spoke quietly as he faced him, his words slow as if he'd been practising this over and over in his head.
"What- what do you mean?"
"Christopher had this assignment in English, you know? Had to write about someone he considers a role model." Eddie couldn't help but smile talking about his son, even with the apprehension hanging thick in the air. "He told this story about his dad rescuing people from the water during the Santa Monica tsunami. But uh...that's not my story."
It took Buck several moments to fully understand the weight of those words, a look of horror crossing his face. "Oh- oh! I am so sorry if I've overstepped. Do you want me to talk to him?"
"It made me happy, Buck." Eddie laughed softly, reaching to take his friend's hand to catch his full attention. "My son thinks of you as way more than just his dad's friend, and I think that made me finally realise...so do I."
Buck felt as if his heart was going to explode, the rest of his face burning as dark as his birthmark and a butterfly feeling in his stomach. It wasn't nervousness at all anymore...
"Eddie..."
"I'm done performing for my tía, my abuela, and all of those women they set me up with. People coming in and out of our lives is the last thing Chris needs, and..." Eddie paused as he felt the cot sink slightly with Buck's weight, the other man climbing into bed with him.
Their noses were barely an inch apart, coppery brown eyes meeting the curious blue of Evan's own. His heart was racing and his mind felt a dizzying sense of relief, soaking up that alluring citrus scent of his friend's closeness.
"What about your needs, Eddie?"
The kid was obvious, Buck was already on the will as his guardian. Whenever his dad was busy or needed some time alone, Chris became his responsibility. He took him to school, bought him clothes, made him food, helped him with his homework, and cuddled with him when he had nightmares. They were already co-parenting, and they had been since Eddie's first month at the 118.
But if Eddie wanted something more between them - a relationship - he needed to say it.
"Ev...it's you. I need you."
That was all Buck needed to feel his heart fluttering happily as he brought their lips together in a slow, tender kiss. He moved to straddle Eddie's lap to get a better vantage point to kiss him, the man laughing softly when he felt strong arms locking around his waist.
They remained like that for a while, sharing slow and meaningful kisses as Eddie rubbed his back and squeezed him closer. The younger fire-fighter laughed, parting his lips instinctively when teeth nipped at his fat lower lip to gain access. It was then, as their tongues explored eachother and played for dominance, that Buck felt something hard pressing against his thigh.
He subtly broke away from their kiss, peppering smaller kisses down to Eddie's ear where he tenderly nipped at the shell. "So...about needing me?" Buck whispered teasingly as he pressed down against the tent in his friend's - boyfriend's? - pants.
"Cut me a break, man. You're half naked on my lap..." He mumbled, stifling a moan when Buck began grinding down against him.
"Maybe you should get more naked." The younger man grinned down at Eddie, rolling his hips rhythmically as he reached for the hem of his shirt to push it up his chest and over his head.
They continued to share soft, slow kisses between removing the rest of Eddie's clothing down to his boxers, the man groaning softly as he grabbed Buck's hips and buried his face into his muscular chest. He left a small lovebite around his nipple, enjoying the pleasurable but silly laughter above him as his fingers slipped into the cotton briefs Buck wore. Slowly he slid them down, revealing inch by inch of his tanned skin.
The first sight of Evan's cunt was breathtaking. His thighs and hips were so toned with muscle around it, a patch of light brown hair trailing down from his navel to rest just above the peak of his slit. His dick was small but swollen, red and pulsing with excitement between his slick folds. He spread his thighs slightly to adjust, becoming a tiny bit embarrassed when Eddie did nothing but -gape- at him.
"Eds, maybe this isn- hhhg!" Buck gasped when the man's strong hand slid between his thighs, his thumb slowly rubbing the underside of his dick while his other fingers massaged his slick opening. His middle finger slid up inside of Buck's pussy, finding very little resistance as slick dribbled out of him.
"You're so wet, Ev...fuck..." Eddie whispered in awe as he fucked his finger up into his cunt, smirking when he heard the faint 'schlick' noise followed by Buck whining above him. He curled his finger to elicit another desperate whine from him, sliding in a second digit as his thumb continued rubbing at Buck's dick. "You like that? Fuck yeah, ride my hand...so hot..."
The younger man's face scrunched up with pleasure as he began to grind down against Eddie's hand, clamping his thighs tightly around his arm and biting down on his fat lip. Every curl of his fingers drove Buck insane, his eyes beginning to tear up and his dick throbbing between his soaked inner thighs. "Hey, have- h-have you ever... fucked a guy..?"
Eddie only laughed breathlessly, his brown eyes swimming with lust and a smirk showing off his pointy teeth as he spoke. "Nah...but...I want to. Always thought about it. About you." He groaned softly as he slid his fingers out, rubbing the juices all over Buck's dick until it was shiny and wet and aching. "Wanna taste you...is that okay?"
"Yes, please." He huffed, a shiver running up his spine when Eddie's hands found his waist to gently guide him. Buck was blushing heavily as he climbed over his friend, hovering just above his face and feeling his stomach clench with desire at the way Eddie groped his thighs and ass.
His thighs trembled as he lowered himself, blue eyes fluttering at the feeling of Eddie's tongue lapping at his exposed cunt. Buck moaned shamelessly, panting and trying not to squirm too much as Eddie ate his soaking pussy like his life depended on it - slick dripping all over his chin.
"Mmnh...Eddie, feels so good...fuck!" Buck whimpered when he felt fingers fucking him open alongside the man's tongue. He was so lost in the pleasure of being serviced, that it took him several long moments to spot Eddie's cock straining against his boxers. He grinned, leaning over slowly and spreading his thighs as he reached to pull out his friend's dick.
Immediately he wrapped his lips around the flushed cock head, moaning softly when he started to suck Eddie off with just as much passion as he was currently receiving. He took his dick to the hilt, lips wet and plump with saliva as his nose hit the sparse black hair around Eddie's base. That scent of masculine musk and cologne, it was addicting. It made him feel all the more desperate to get his friend's dick inside him.
A wet, slick sound filled the otherwise silent room as Buck bobbed his head over Eddie's dick, moaning and gagging around him each time the man's fingers thrust deeply into his soaked cunt. His lips were fucked raw and his eyes were watering when he felt those fingers slip out, a distraught whine caught in his throat.
"Come here, cariño..." Eddie purred affectionately as he encouraged the man to lay down against his chest, a hand sliding between his thighs to push them apart and guide his cock up against his entrance. He pressed his teeth into his lower lip as he slowly pushed inside, feeling Buck's cunt clench tightly around him. "Fuck...mmh, how you doing, cowboy?"
Buck would have laughed at the nickname if he wasn't already busy holding back a whorish moan, his hands grabbing at Eddie's wrists to hold onto them tightly. He needed something to ground himself in reality, otherwise he was going to lose it.
And they really didn't need the rest of the 118 to hear Buck moaning from the bunk room.
"G-good...better, if you'd fuck me alr- EDDIE!" The fire-fighter gasped, his breath punched right out of his chest when Eddie thrust fully inside of him, his thick cock rubbing against every sensitive spot it could all at once. Buck swore he could see stars as his boyfriend fucked him deeply, his cock pistoning in and out of his tight, wet cunt with a persistent 'schlick schlick schlick'.
Eddie grunted deeply with each thrust, his hand moving to wrap firmly around Buck's throat to guide their lips together. He kissed him passionately, feeling the slick heat of saliva on his lips as his lover sobbed through each movement of their bodies. He tightened his grip just enough to feel the vibration of Buck's whimpering against his fingertips. Just enough to see the way his face began to flush crimson with the exhilaration.
He kissed him again and again, savouring every sweet, heady moan on Buck's lips as he fucked him harder. "So fucking good, Ev...so pretty- fuck...you gonna come, baby?" Eddie growled against his lips, reaching to guide his boyfriend's own hand towards his soaked tdick. "Yeah, good boy- such a good boy, touch yourself..."
"E-Eddie..." Tears of pleasure rolled down Buck's face as he moaned, feeling breathless and overwhelmed in the absolute best way as Eddie toyed with him. His fingers moved desperately over his dick as the man fucked him deeper still in that cervix bruising, seeing the light of God kind of way.
He had laughed when he'd first heard someone describe sex in such a way - but now...well, wasn't he the fool?
An intense heat began to pool in Buck's abdomen as he moved his arm behind himself to tangle a hand in Eddie's hair, turning his head to kiss him deeply and sobbing against his lips with each thrust. He hardly had a chance to warn the man before he was crying out, barely registering the hand that slapped over his mouth to silence him as he climaxed.
Eddie hushed him softly as he slowed his movements, instead wrapping his hand over Buck's own to tease his soaking wet cunt through his orgasm. He kissed lovingly at one of the man's stray tears, peppering kisses all along his jaw. "Good boy...my good boy, my cariño..."
"T-too much..." Buck groaned weakly as he dropped his head down against the man's shoulder, his breathing hitching every time he felt the twitch of Eddie's cock still inside of him. "Give me a...a minute..." The young fire-fighter rested his eyes as he felt strong arms wrap securely around his tapered waist, stroking his bare skin with such tender care. They stayed like that for some time, with Eddie quietly and happily worshipping his lover's naked figure with kisses and touches alike.
It was Buck who made the first move, repositioning their bodies until he was facing Eddie once more, straddling his lap and coyly as he took the man's cock in hand to guide it slowly back inside. He sunk down the rest of the way, muscular thighs trembling somewhat as the length and girth of his lover's cock filled him once more.
Eddie's hands caressed his hips, the older man biting his lip as he watched Buck start to ride him with increasing enthusiasm. He squeezed his hips, groaning deeply and glancing down to watch his cock disappear deep inside of his wet cunt with each movement.
"You're- Oh, god, Buck you're perfect..."
Those words had clearly inflated his ego even further, a wild grin on Buck's face as he squeezed around him tight. He did that several times, equal amounts amused and turned on by the way Eddie's expression contorted with pleasure every time his silky, wet pussy constricted around his throbbing cock.
"Eds- mmh, ah...Eddie?"
"Y-yeah?" Diaz panted, a bead of sweat trailing down his neck as he held Buck closely by his waist, his heart soaring high with each pump.
That infatuated look in Buck's eyes, those vivid cresting waves of blue and green...it wasn't a sight he would soon forget.
"I need you...I-I need you, every day..." He was panting heavily as he dropped a hand on his friend's chest, his earlier grin softening into a little smile.
"I love you, Eds..."
Eddie's vision went stark white just before their lips crashed together in one last passionate, overly rough kiss that left his lip tingling with the faint taste of blood. He gave one last desperate thrust into his lover's depths, thick ropes of hot cum flooding Buck's insides until it dripped back out alongside Eddie's cock.
They collapsed in eachothers arms, breathing heavily and melting into that state of post-orgasmic bliss. It was difficult to care about the mess they'd made, or the risk of being caught, when all that really mattered was eachother.
"Evan..." Diaz sighed with contentment as he rubbed his friend's back, pressing small tender kisses to his cheek while they cuddled. "Mmh, suppose we'll have to go face the music soon..."
"Hm?"
"They definitely heard you."
"No, I don't think so." Buck hummed tiredly, feigning innocence even though they both knew the truth. "Mh, think Cap will ban us from being down here together?"
"Most likely. Even if it's just payback for the amount of paperwork he's about to do..." Eddie smiled, brushing his fingers gently through his hair.
"So it's official? We're...together." Buck smiled back up at the other man, resting his cheek against his chest.
"We're together." Eddie confirmed quietly.
"I love you, Eds."
"I love you too."
