“Good talk.” Eddie jokes, earning a surprised chuckle, and he can’t help it, he leans in to press one more kiss to Buck’s lips.

“Very good.” Buck responds, grinning from ear to ear. “We should have talks like this more often.”

“Oh, we will.” Eddie responds, leaning in once more. He just can’t get enough. “We’ll do so much talking.” he teases, their lips brushing as he speaks, and Buck laughs and shakes his head slightly, the movement pulling him away from Eddie, and Eddie has to force himself not to pout, wanting to be as close to Buck as possible, never moving away. Maybe it’s for the best, because otherwise Eddie would not be able to let him out of his arms right now, and they unfortunately can’t just stand here forever. “But we need to do some actual talking first.” he says, leaning back to look into Buck’s shiny blue eyes.

“Yeah.” Buck’s smile is so soft and bashful, but still the brightest thing Eddie’s ever seen. “This is happening, right? You and me?” he asks suddenly, quietly and almost with a hint of shyness, and Eddie can’t have him doubting this, doubting them.

Here's a snippet from one of Buck and Eddie's conversations.

___________

Eddie keeps his eyes focused on Buck and he smiles so big that his dimples are showing. He’s madly in love with him and he has been for years. At one point, he wondered if they’d ever get here and now that they are, he knows he’s never going to let it go. He’s planning to be with Buck forever and he can’t wait to spend the rest of his life with him.

Once he shakes himself out of his reverie, he gently squeezes Buck’s hand while Nat sings the chorus again which leads to the outro.

At the end of the song, the radio personality starts talking but Eddie quickly lowers the volume and admits, “I love you with every part of me.”

Without hesitation, Buck responds, “I love you too. Eddie… you’re my everything, my everything.”

They both exhale deep breaths and after a few moments, Eddie says, “One of the lyrics in the song is “Love was made for me and you” and I know it’s true. I love you so much and we’re going to be together for the rest of our lives.”

“We sure are and we’ll still be together in the afterlife and the one after that and the one after that.”

While holding the other one’s gaze, they quickly nod, then Buck returns his attention to the PCH.

What are Buck and Eddie going to do when they get to Malibu, CA? 🙃

Buddie secret relationship a la Bobby and Athena’s secret relationship in 2x01 - we just close episode 6x18 out with the boys alone between the engines and suddenly one of them is pushing the other against a truck, making out when no one from the 118 is around and that’s our confirmation….

[fionaswhvre]

What Would You Do If They Never Found Us Out?

Buddie | 5.4k | Explicit

Eddie moans in his ears, Buck's enthusiasm driving his thrusts. They push and pull, chase and relent, hold and release. Eddie looks at Buck like he hung the moon, like the sun only shines because of him. They are close, so close and Buck is moaning and writhing, body going pliant under Eddie's, ready to chase that high with his boyfriend when suddenly the door opens with a bang, a sliver of light enters in the dark room, the tiny sliver of ray bright enough to blind Buck. Eddie's thrusts falter and then stops as he slowly turns his head to look at their interruption, horror streaked across his face.

"What the fuck-"

"Holy fucking-"

"Hell no-"

"Motherf-"

Curse words fly everywhere, from four different voices, merging with each other through the similar shock and disgust written all over them.

Buck squints his eyes to see Hen and Chimney standing at the door, mouths open, eyes wide, tiny gasps pouring out of their lips.

OR

Eddie and Buck are secretly dating, until they get caught

BUDDIE FIC RECS ✴ SECRET RELATIONSHIP ✴ VOL. 1

Fic recs that include Buck and Eddie in a secret relationship.

————————————————————————

Blindspot by AshwinMeird Multichapter || Teen || 10089

Hen was starting to accept that Buck's life would always be a mystery to her and the others. Then the 136 gets a new probie, Eddie Diaz, and Buck doesn't appear to be the guy's biggest fan.

But there's something, some secret, Hen isn't privy to and she was going to get to the bottom of whatever was happening between Buck and Eddie.

————————————————————————

Does Your Firehouse Know? by allyasavedtheday // @littlespoonevan Multichapter || Teen || 7574

In retrospect he thinks he should’ve knocked, which is stupid because it’s a communal space and they all have a bed in there. But for his sanity- yeah, he probably should’ve knocked.

He hadn’t though. He’d opened the door, eyes half on his phone as he’d checked the time to see if Maddie would be feeding Jee, only to stop in his tracks right inside the doorway because-

Because Buck and Eddie were kissing.

No, not even kissing- making out.

“Oh my god,” he blurted out, clapping a hand over his eyes and trying to shield himself from the mental image as he’d stumbled back into the doorframe.

“Oh my god,” Buck exclaimed, sounding horrified.

“Oh my god,” Eddie had added then and the sheer depth of long-suffering exasperation in his voice had been enough to make Chimney peek out from behind his hand. * After Chimney accidentally discovers Buck and Eddie are together they ask him to keep it a secret for a few weeks while they settle into their relationship. It goes about as well as expected.

————————————————————————

Entirely Platonic by evandiazbuckley Oneshot || General || 1266

“It’s not my fault,” Buck began, “that all of you considered the kissing, hand-holding, living together, driving together, raising a child together and Eddie’s undeniable heart eyes as entirely platonic.”

Or the one where Buck and Eddie have been dating for months but everyone just assumed they were just extremely affectionate friends.

————————————————————————

Hiding the Christmas Present (of You and Me) by Princessfbi // @princessfbi Oneshot || General || 7798

But Bobby just stared at him and Buck really didn’t want to be a part of this conversation anymore so he settled.

“Okay then April Fools' Day.”

Bobby blinked.

“If I schedule you off, are you going to come in anyways thinking it was an April Fools' joke?”

“… No.”

Buck thought he was going to spend Christmas alone. His family decides to correct that assumption.

————————————————————————

I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be (Right in front of me) by Finduilas // @finduilasclln Oneshot || Explicit || 13272

It’s such a long time coming and still it takes Buck by surprise. It takes him by surprise even though he is the one that leans in and finally kisses Eddie. His second surprise is that Eddie doesn’t push him away, doesn’t even look at him with confusion. Or worse, rage. No, Eddie kisses him back like Buck is a tall drink of water and Eddie is severely dehydrated. Buck knows the feeling.

————————————————————————

it's golden, like daylight by rarakiplin // @hoediaz Oneshot || Teen || 8736

“Hmm,” Buck hums, and Eddie feels the vibration of it under his mouth. Buck’s nose nudges against the side of his head. “Have you thought about that?”

Eddie laughs against Buck’s shoulder, unwilling to lift his head. “Thinking? Right now?”

“Shut up,” fingers dig into his ribs, “I mean, would you want to? Be married again?” - or, the sun comes up

————————————————————————

Just Tell Better Lies (and Keep Your Mouth to Yourself) by HMSLusitania // @hmslusitania Oneshot || Teen || 3285

Good news: after years of pining, Buck and Eddie have finally gotten together!

Mixed news: being together will require a department investigation of some kind, so

Bad news: they can't tell anyone yet.

Worst news: Buck is the world's least accomplished liar.

————————————————————————

Love Bites by bigfootsmom // @bigfootsmom Oneshot || Teen || 2709

Turns out Eddie can be a little...mouthy. Buck is left to deal with the consequences.

“Damn Buck, did you hook up with a vampire last night? It looks like someone tried to eat you alive!”

————————————————————————

Not Fooling Anyone by NobodyKnows_U Oneshot || Teen || 4531

"Why on earth would you set me up on a date?"

Maddie paused, placing her fork back down before lifting her head to look at him impatiently, almost as if she expected the discussion to be done with already. "Because you're single. And you haven’t been on a date in ages, it will be good for you."

Hen scoffed next to him. "Don't forget the part where he hadn’t gotten laid in forever.

————————————————————————

There’s a rumor going round (about me and you) by justhockey // @everything-i-am Oneshot || Not Rated || 3169

“$100 says he’s not taking a girl home tonight,” Eddie wagers.

All four of them look at him with stunned looks on their faces, as if they can’t possibly believe Eddie is being so stupid. Eddie shrugs, holds his arms out in a take it or leave it kind of gesture. Of course, they all think he’s insane, so -

“Deal,” Athena says.

————————————————————————

to have and to hold (for better or worse) by buckleyblueyes Oneshot || Teen || 7020

“Family of Eddie Diaz?”

Everyone stood up. 

The doctor gave them a sympathetic smile. “That’s sweet, but actual family only right now.” 

“I’m his gi—” 

“I’m his husband,” Buck cut Ana off, ignoring the slack jawed looks from the rest of the waiting room.

OR: Buck and Eddie got married in secret after the well incident

————————————————————————

Wait For Me To Come Home by millionsmais Oneshot || Teen || 7384

Buck joins the 118, but he has a secret none of the other firefighters know about.

He’s got a boyfriend stationed across the world.

————————————————————————

Welcome to the Family by shutupheather Oneshot || Not Rated || 3488

“He kept mumbling about someone named Ev in the ambulance…"

“I was thinking it might be a wife or girlfriend named Evelyn, maybe? But I honestly have no idea…” Hen wondered.

“Me neither,” Bobby added. “I just hope, for his sake, that they’re able to get a hold of whoever it is.”

OR

Eddie gets hurt on the job. The team meets and comforts his husband in the hospital waiting room.

————————————————————————

[mischiefbuckley]

SURPRISE!!!! In honor of the Kansas City Chiefs winning back to back super bowls, I have posted the first chapter of Three Taps for the Lombardi aka NFL Buck! Woooooo! The biggest and loudest shout out to @hippolotamus who so graciously beta read this, was one of my biggest supporters, and kept my secret! You are so amazing! This fic is my pride and joy and I am so excited to share it! Hope you all enjoy!

Three Taps for the Lombardi

Mature // 3.8K // Chapter 1

Eddie Diaz is the 118's new transfer from Houston and he is a bit of mystery. The team knows a few things about the stoic man. He's was a medic in the army with a silver star, he has a son, a dead ex-wife, is gay, and has long term boyfriend named Buck who he moved to L.A. with. Oh, and Eddie is never on shift when there is a home game for the L.A. Rams. Evan Buckley has been traded to the L.A. Rams from the Houston Texans. He has amazing stats, awards, and been named one of America's most eligible bachelors. All he's missing is a super bowl win and a WAG to cheer for him alongside his sister in the stands. Or at least, that's what he's led the world to believe. Almost ten years ago Paramedic Diaz ran onto the Texas Longhorn's field to help college football star Evan Buckley after he was knocked unconscious. Months later, secrets are made so dreams can come true. Can they keep those secrets intact as Eddie takes on the challenges of being a firefighter in L.A. while Buck battles for the Lombardi with a new team?

"We're at work, Buck."

"Just one kiss, Eddie!"

Buck and Eddie has just started their relationship— it's all new and exciting, even if it's been a long time coming. It all feels delicate and fragile but in the most beautiful of ways.

They want to keep it to themselves, just for a little bit. Just until they're more comfortable into this new dynamic between them.

Except—

The secret is hard to keep when Buck can't keep his hands to himself at work. (If we're being completely honest here, Eddie can't either. He's just better at hiding it.)

"We're at work, Buck." Eddie says, trying to sound stern but failing miserably at it. The corners of his lips curve slightly, in a smile he's trying with every cell in his body to suppress. "We're gonna get caught."

"Just one kiss, Eddie." Buck insists, a glint in his eyes that Eddie knows to well. "C'mon, baby. No one is here right now. Bobby it's in his office and the rest of the team is in the bunkers. It's just us."

Baby.

This is new. It's the thing. It's new and exciting and it's something that Eddie has ached and yearned and dreamed for, for years. It's something he never really thought he'd have but that he has dared to hope.

And the real thing? Way better than any fantasy his mind could conjure.

The way Buck calls him baby, the way Buck's hands touch him in such a worshipful, careful, loving way. It's magical and amazing and Eddie is defenseless, it's the problem.

So, of course, he folds. He folds!

He lets down the hand coming in between Buck's and his lips and he surrenders. What else can he do?

He lets Buck kiss him and he kisses back.

It feels exactly like the first time but also like they've been doing these for all of their lives. Is intoxicating and addicting, yet soft and natural and tender. It's all of the things Eddie never really thought a kiss could be, but that Buck has taught him.

It's a tiny taste of paradise. Just for a few seconds.

Until—

"I knew it!" Chim screams, just a few feet away from them, making them jump apart from the surprise. "I called it!"

"No, you called it a month ago!" Hen is close behind and Eddie sighs, knowing they'll never know peace ever again.

It was nice while it lasted, he guesses.

“Hi.” Eddie breathes out, smiling so wide his cheeks start to hurt.

“Hey.” Buck responds, taking a step inside, and as Eddie closes the door behind him, Buck sniffs and frowns, an alarmed look on his face. “Something’s burning?”

“Uh, it was.” Eddie says with a small chuckle, waving off Buck’s concern. “Just food, no casualties or property damage. I tried to make breakfast.”

“Eddie.” Buck laughs, kicking off his shoes. “Why?”

“Because.” he shrugs, then feels his cheeks burn as he looks at the ground. He’s being so silly. “You said you’d come over, and I wanted- I just wanted to make breakfast.” he says lamely, not sure how to put into words how much he wants to do anything and everything to make Buck happy, and how giddy last night made him, how kissing Buck was the most amazing thing that he wants to do over and over and over again, and how he wants Buck at his side forever and ever and ever. And he wanted to start off by doing this one simple thing for him. Plus, he was too antsy to just sit and wait for him to come over, and trying to cook was a good distraction. Until it wasn't.

“Eddie.” Buck repeats, this time softer, taking one step towards him, and Eddie looks up at him. “That’s really nice. But just so you know, it’d be even nicer if you didn’t try to burn your house down for me.” he adds through laughter.

“Oh, shut up.” Eddie huffs, playfully punching Buck’s shoulder, and as he’s taking his hand away, Buck grabs it. It goes limp, letting Buck easily unfold his loose fist and intertwine their fingers. It feels right, holding his hand, they fit together so well, as if made for each other. Eddie watches Buck’s face as Buck’s eyes are on their hands, watching in awe and wonder. As if he couldn’t believe he can do that now. As if he still doubts he can.

Here's a snippet from one of Buck and Eddie's conversations.

___________

Buck asks, “Babe, you know this song, too?”

“Yes and I love it. Dolly and Kenny were a great duo back in the day.”

They return to singing the first verse with Dolly and Kenny since she’s dueting with him. “You do something to me that I can't explain. Hold me closer and I feel no pain. Every beat of my heart, we got somethin' goin' on.”

After they finish and Kenny sings the next verse, Buck chuckles and when Eddie looks at him, he inquisitively says, “I just realized you said back in the day. Neither of us were even born when uh… this song was released back in 1983.”

“That’s true but it’s still a good song so… come on my love and sing the chorus with me.”

Buck nods and they begin to serenade each other. “Islands in the stream, that is what we are. No one in-between, how can we be wrong? Sail away with me to another world and we rely on each other, ah-ah. From one lover to another, ah-ah.”

A brief instrumental plays and when Buck glances at him for the sixth or seventh time, he winks at him. Buck blushes and bashfully smiles the same way he always does then he looks back at the interstate.

When Dolly starts singing verse three, Buck sings along with her. “I can't live without you if the love was gone. Everything is nothin' if you've got no one and you did walk in tonight. Slowly losing sight of the real thing.”

Since the next verse is a duet between Dolly and Kenny, Buck and Eddie sing together right along with them. “But that won't happen to us, and we got no doubt. Too deep in love and we got no way out and the message is clear, this could be the year for the real thing.”

That words in the last lyric sink in and they stop singing once the pre-chorus begins and they just listen to Dolly. “No more will you cry. Baby, I will hurt you never. We start and end as one, in love forever. We can ride it together, ah-ah. Makin' love with each other, ah-ah.”

Neither of them were planning to get emotional this early on a Saturday morning but the lyrics hit them both in the chest and the wind is knocked out of them.

Eddie gently squeezes Buck’s hand and when he looks at him, he admits, “I’ll never hurt you.”

“It’s the same for me and it’s like the song says, “No more will you cry and we start and end as one, in love forever.”

What's going to happen after they finish serenading each other? 👀

You know the entire cast of 118 would absolutely EAT if they did a 'secret relationship -> everyone finds out' storyline beat for beat like Monica and Chandler but with Buck and Eddie.

[buddiefamily]

If (when) buddie goes canon and they don’t do a secret relationship arc I’m gonna be soooo mad!

[pyrosomatic-metamorphosis]

Cant sleep so im thinking about ayhalo

I think its like. one sided. qaypierre WOULD smooch that demon and take him on dates. qbad would not recognize anything as a romantic gesture. aypierre could throw a bouquet of chocolate roses at him and bad would just be like ! thank you :}

like they love each other, absolutely. they TRUST each other, to the point where i’d even say it gets in the way of bad seeing aypierre as anything more than a good friend. that’s his guy. The dude always in his corner. Friend resource label: team mate (coparent) (down to help kidnap people). bad doesnt do classic romantic relationships- all of his relationships are INCREDIBLY queer, but the closest he usually gets to what others read as romance is a classic chewtoy4chewtoy dynamic. He LOVES to fuck with people and he loves to get fucked with and if there’s a nice jawline or pretty muscles included?? huge bonus !!

he’s got something- not kinder, with aypierre? not calmer, either, but stable, maybe. pierre has proven, over and over again, that he’s on bad’s side. Spying on tubbo, encouraging bad’s pranks, the kidnapping- i can’t call it a reliable dynamic, not with how paranoid bad is, even when he trusts, but there is still a feeling of understanding that, wherever pierre’s limits are for when he cant support bad (or genuinely turn against him), it hasnt been reached yet

aypierre, on the other hand, i dont know enough about to be absolutely sure but there are some Vibes. ironically, i think hes feeling like his relationships are unreliable. max was going to have their baby, and then he wasnt, and then he left him, then max fucking died. plus whatever is happening with him and ayrobot, which probably leaves him feeling like he cant rely on Himself. like he had, if not a little crush on bad, at least some Interest in him, before. as well as several islanders. i remember the days of the Bed Threat.

but thats part of it, too? because those flings didnt have that emotional connection, and i always got the sense that he started looking for that with maximus, to Love and Be Loved rather than pure lust. To care about someone, genuinely, and be cared about in return. but he didnt get that with the flings, and We know that max was using him, but i dont know if he did, but maybe he had a feeling about it and maybe he also had a feelinf about maximus’ feelings towards bad and maybe- there’s something about that? A little push of not-spite-not-projection onto bad.

because bad IS that reliability, right now. he’s a fucking gremlin. a bastard. a prankster silly guy. he trusts aypierre and aypierre trusts him and they dont share everything but so often, when it comes down to it, it is them against the world. them in the corner, caught, aypierre shouting about kissing as a cover for their crimes while bad runs giggling away from him.
