Summary
No. Whatever it is, no. Eddie would like Buck to stop chasing whatever that thing is. Would like to grab the thought out of Buck’s concussed head and throw it out a window.
Buck’s face drops into something serious, eyes wide. “You called me baby.”
There it is. Out the window it did not go.
“No, I didn’t,” Eddie says.
Very smooth. Convincing.
“You did.” Buck points at him, floppy and triumphant. “At the— the thing. With the— you said it. You called me baby.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Eddie.” Buck is delighted. “I heard you. I was concussed, not deaf.”
“I didn’t call you baby,” Eddie scoffs. “I called you a baby. Because you got a bump on the head and were crying about it.”
“That’s not—” Buck starts.
“You were being a baby,” Eddie continues, standing now, because a moving target is harder to hit. “I’m gonna go tell the others you’re awake.”
“Eddie.”
“Rest your head, bud.”
Or,
Eddie calls Buck baby by accident.Bookmarked by EmpireofSocks (empireofsocks)

Summary
“Where are you driving from?” Eddie asked, his mouth moving before he could stop it, his brain deciding that awkward small talk was infinitely safer than just standing there vibrating with nervous energy.
“East,” the guy replied with a casual, fluid roll of his broad shoulders. “Farther than I wanted to be, honestly. And definitely longer than I originally planned.”
Before the army, before Los Angeles, and long before the 118, there was a dusty gas station on the edge of El Paso, a broken-down Jeep with Pennsylvania plates, and a stranger named Evan.
For years, they were each other's entire world, surviving basic training, AIT, and a grueling deployment side-by-side. But a devastating wave of silence and a massive misunderstanding tore them apart, leaving behind a deep, soul-cutting ache and a history neither of them ever truly moved on from.
Now, the past has finally caught up to the present. Standing under the harsh fluorescent lights of Station 118, Eddie and Evan are forced to navigate the wreckage of the life they left behind—and the terrifying truth of everything they never stopped running from.

Summary
Eddie leans back a little, his arms locked tightly around Buck’s waist. “I said I wanted a hug.”
“Is this not what we’re doing right now?”
“'s not a good hug.”
“It’s not?”
“Nope. It’s not how I want it, so it’s not a good hug,” Eddie says resolutely, looking at Buck like he should know this.
“Okay, and how do you want it?”
“I want you to hold me.” Buck’s heart jumps at the words.
“I am holding you.”
“Well, hold me harder,” Eddie demands, his cold nose finding its way into Buck’s neck.
Buck suppresses a gasp as his arms tighten helplessly around Eddie. He pulls him closer to his body, pressing his nose into soft, messy hair. A happy sigh leaves Eddie’s mouth while he relaxes into Buck’s hold.
There's a good chance that Buck is dreaming right now but he decides to just enjoy the moment for what it is because he might not get the chance to embrace Eddie like this ever again. It will go back to normal once his best friend is sober again. He's sure of that.
Or, Eddie appears on Buck's doorstep, clingy and clearly drunk, demands cuddles, crawls into Buck's hoodie, and accidentally confesses his love. It changes everything.

Summary
Buck chuckles, digging his fingernails into the expanse of Eddie’s hips. “Don’t forget the name of the game… truth or dare?”
“I hate you,” Eddie hisses as he lets his head hit the door with blunt force, the sound echoing throughout the empty house. Bad idea. That may hurt tomorrow.
“Feels like it.” Buck pauses to pull back, sweat dripping down his forehead, his cheeks blotchy and his nose beet red. Eddie wants to lick it up, wants to take another shot of tequila and chase it down with Buck’s sweat and a squeeze of lime. “You’re still so hard, Eds.”
Or; Eddie and Buck get drunk on tequila and they play a very intense game of Truth or Dare.

Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."
Or,
Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series
