written for the @winterofbuddie week 8 prompt: rejection redemption - rejection and the place theme

Soft, Warm, and Comforting (4522 words) by buckdiass Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 9-1-1 (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV) Characters: Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Evan "Buck" Buckley Additional Tags: Love Confessions, Rejection, Evan "Buck" Buckley Being an Idiot, Emotionally Hurt Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Evan "Buck" Buckley's Loft Apartment Burns Down, Love How That Is A Tag, Moving In Together, Getting Together, First Kiss Series: Part 8 of buckdiass's winter of buddie Summary:

“I’m familiar and safe,” Buck said. pulling away and moving as much as he could in the armchair. This would have been a great time to be on a couch. Eddie watched him pull away, heartache etching itself into his face. “This is new to you and exciting, and you might think it’s forever, but you’re still figuring yourself out.” Buck reached out to place a hand on Eddie’s folded ones. Eddie looked up at him with something akin to astonishment. “Buck, I tell you I’m in love with you, and you tell me I’m figuring myself out. You’re the only thing I have figured out.” “Eddie, you’re supposed to—”

After Buck rejects Eddie, his loft burns down. While camped out in Eddie’s house, Buck slowly spirals about his feelings for his best friend.

Week 4 time tales and Week 8: rejection redemption location/four elements

Buck is 26 years old when he learns that family can be found and that this family sticks around. No matter what. With ups and downs.  or Buck through the years, learning about different kinds of love or the lack of it. And then Eddie finds him.

Buck/Eddie, Teen and Up, 3074 words

Buck is certain Eddie returns to the 118 a lot prettier. So what exactly is Dispatch putting in the water?Pretty vitamins.

Eddie returns with revelations of his own and Bobby is forced to create a group chat.
