I just know there is going to be a subset of his fans who will want people to pity Tommy when they break up and it's like of all of Buddie's love interest he's the ONE I do not feel sorry for.
Because all of Buck and Eddie's love interests had no idea what they were walking into. It was like Hansel and Gretel with the candy house they think they are getting a cute puppy boyfriend and it's well actually this is a torture nexus haunted house of queer repression. And they wind up leaving with bites and scars.
Tommy recognized it was a haunted house of queer repression right away and walked in laughed at all the traps. He will keep going until he makes it out and shrugs his shoulders because at the end of the day he's not invested. Because he knew he was the outsider in the equation.

MY THEORIES 👹🧌
tommy BONES by episode 6. what’s gonna happen is eddie is going to be in the torture nexus (normal) and buck is gonna be there for him just all the time (like s7 and what we’ve seen of s8) BUT there’s gonna one singular time where he’s not there bc he’s with tommy. and he’s going to find out after the fact that something happened with chris or something . and he’s gonna be like OH MY GOD EDDIE WASNT THERE IM SO SORRY. and eddies gonna be like noooo it’s chill you couldn’t have known :). and the next time buck sees tommy it’s all he’s gonna be able to talk about like no you don’t UNDERSTAND he NEEDED ME and i was HERE . and tommys gonna be like . dude. you missed out on one thing that happened between your friend and his kid . chill. and this is gonna be the “baggage” where you see just how attached buck is to eddie and christopher and tommy implies that it’s too much and he should step away and buck is like okay BYE. if you can’t love me and my common law husband and my child we’re not gonna work. so that’s how we get bt bones YAY
and then the rest of s8a is buck and eddie working together to get chris home and he comes home in the s8a mid season finale. and THENNNNN s8b is heavily focused on eddie and chris relearning how to be together with eddie working on being honest and re-earning chris’ trust and chris working on forgiving him. and the whole time buck is just . there. and it’s never mentioned beyond the bt fight how integral he is to their lives bc it’s not strange or new to them. only somebody outside their relationship would have anything to say. and it goes on like this but there’s a slight shift in how they are. just that eddie seems more open since he’s been honest with chris and himself . and buck is completely confident and sure of their place in his life and his place in theirs . and this all cumulates in. gentle touches. lingering glances. and then boom in the final minutes of the season. kitchen confession. end theories 🧌

eddie's torture nexus is just his childhood bedroom closet and the walls are mirrors and the door is actually unlocked but even though his parents are the ones who put him there in the first place he DID peek out once and decided to stay in all by himself, actually, and closed it back up, so he doesn't think he deserves to open it (UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!). there's also a cable running from the doorknob to a screen on the wall that's attached to a DDR mat. he doesn't need to dance on it to unlock the door or anything, it's just for funsies
buck's torture nexus is the bathroom from Saw except somehow all the saw traps are in there at the same time for him to pick which one he wants to undergo that day. there's also a big hamster wheel in the middle where he spends his spare time. as soon as he gets on it for his daily jog he can hear all of his failed past partners talking through the same speakers used by his own personal Jigsaw (Coma Dream Evil!Buck in a costume). also if he opens the door it just leads to big ol chasm to the depths of despair!
btw on the outside of the bathroom before he jumps in the chasm there's a big red button with a sign that says "PRESS BUTTON FOR BRIDGE ACROSS DESPAIR!! FREE BRIDGE JUST PRESS BUTTON!!" with an arrow pointing to it. but buck can't read when l'appel du vide is so strong :// sad

She's Got A Date-EoWells X Allen!reader- Part II
Tumblr media
*The GIF is not mine. All rights to the owner*
Part I
Summary: A new meta is in town, and you are starting to want your secret relationship not to be not-so secret anymore. But Wells doesn't have the same idea
Warnings: Smut if you squint very hard.
***
You never really were one to wake up early in the morning. You hated it, actually. You never liked seeing the sun rising up, you hated the way it made you feel; that heart sinking and hopeful feeling. It reminded you of when your mother died. You stayed all night with your brother in the precinct, after a few hours of sleep, you woke up when the sun was rising, and you wished really hard to go home and see your parents again. But you never did. Your Mom died, your Dad went to prison for your Mom's murder, you never came home, and the Detective from the case adopted you. Barry told you back then that the sun was also a star, unfortunately, it wasn't the star for wishing.
You hated mornings, but of course, you have to pay bills and have to get a certain someone from your bed.
Your limbs ache, as you stretch your arms over your head. You went rounds last night, which shows how much you missed each other and how much of an animal you both were.
Still completely groggy, you moved under the sheets, propped your elbows, laying on your stomach to stare at him. You couldn't help but smile upon the sight of him.
Always so stern, well-composed, mysterious, guarded, seems like the kind of guy who's least likely to do something that will get him in huge trouble— except for the Particle Accelerator explosion, that was a huge mess— Now, he's in your apartment, sprawled out on your bed, specifically, naked under the sheets of 24-year old girl's bed. So relaxed and comfortable. The careful and stoic demeanor he radiated temporary vanished.
You ran your fingers through his brown, unruly locks. You remember how hard you gripped on them last night.
God, memories like this are what enters your mind when you talk to Barry and Joe; it makes you flustered and all scared to face them. Eventually it got easier to deal with, but the guilt doesn't fade, or it hasn't yet.
Despite Barry's admiration for the man, he would question it. You're his baby sister, and there are so many issues he could point out. But you know him, he'll get over it quickly.
Joe, on the other hand, the silent treatment is what he's going to put on. He's a tough man to break. Besides, he has yet to deal with Iris and Eddie dating.
You didn't want them to feel as though you betrayed them or left them out on a part of your life, because they're part of it. You really wanted to tell them.
You don't want to be all sappy, you want to take in this nice morning and this man in front of you. He usually wakes up before you. Perhaps you really worn him out last night.
You ran your dainty finger across his cheek, he stirred in his sleep, grumpily. You stifled a giggle. Even in his sleep, he's guarded.
"Good morning," you mumbled, leaning to kiss his pink thin lips.
That woke him up. Gradually gaining his consciousness, his lips moved against yours, passionate and sweet. He reeled you into him, his bare chest meets your naked ones. His hands roamed your body, up and down your sides. He then planted a hand on the small back softly, pressing you closer to him, while his other hand slowly moved dangerously low. He runs his hand on the skin of your thigh, up and down. At the same time, your hands gripped his biceps.
The kiss deepened, squeezed and nails dug on the skin of your thigh in the process. You tried to suppress a moan, but damn he was such a good kisser. You don't know how he managed to stay quiet during intimate times like this. The kiss was turning feverishly and intoxicating. You felt that warm feeling in your stomach, an ache between your legs, sending jolts of excitement through your veins.
Wells knew you better than yourself, and he knows how you get. So before things escalated further, it took him a decent amount of control to reluctantly pull away from your lips.
A beam already crossed his face, as he fluttering his eyes open, "A good morning, indeed,"
You gave him one more peck on the lips, before placing your head on his chest, and his arm around you. You snuggled further to his warm body. It's heavenly, because it's starting to get colder in Central City.
"Can't we just stay in bed today?" You looked up to him, pouting with puppy dog eyes. It has an effect on him, and you like to push your luck.
"We have to go to work. And Caitlin and Cisco will notice."
You sighed. "I know." Your fingers drew circles on his chest. "Don't you think it's time to tell them, Har? It's been 6 months."
"I just need things to wind down, then we'll tell them," he assured you, though it wasn't enough to convince you, because that was what he said the last time. You're young, not dumb.
"When will that be?" You tried not to sound as if you were forcing him, but sneaking around is becoming tiring.
Wells frowned, uncomfortable with the discussion. "I don't know. Let's not talk about this— come on, we need to get ready." He tried to sit up, but you pinned him down. Your legs over his and hugged him tightly.
"Y/N…" He warned. You didn't bugde, kept him pinned down on the bed.
"Let's just stay in for a little while. How about just one more round?" You suggested playfully, biting your lip.
He opened his mouth to object, but you didn't bother to let him start. You ghosted his neck, your lips trailing up, and planted a kiss behind his ear, his sweet spot. You sucked it to leave a mark. His chest heaved, licked his dry lips and hummed in satisfaction.
"Y/N, w-we need to go," he managed to stutter those words.
Ever so stubborn, you didn't listen. Instead, you hushed him, and started nibbling on his ear. You earned a growl from him.
"Just one. I promised," you whispered seductively.
Your fingertips brushed against the skin of his stomach, traveled lower and lower, down lower abdomen, painstakingly slow just to rile him up. His breathing was getting uneven. His face still maintained a leveled expression, but his blue eyes turned dark, boring into yours. You decided to go for it. You took his length, as he grunted. You slowly pumped the base, torturing him. He couldn't help but let out a guttural groan.
You don't wanna look back later today, and all you remember was you talking about going out in public again. So, make-up sex, even though you didn't really fight.
He gave in. One round turned into two, turned into three, until you both were very exhausted and fell asleep.
You didn't wake up until it was late. Harrison wasn't very pleased with this. You know he had every right to; this the third time he got late, because of you.
He scolded you for sidetracking him, hurrying out of your apartment, not before giving you peck on the lips.
The elevator dings, and the doors slide open. You exhaled sharply, mentally cursing yourself for having no self control. You and Wells went at it like bunnies in heat.
You hissed, stepping outside. You were a little sensitive, so sore, limbs are like jello. Your legs wobbled as you walked in the hallway. You feel like each step you take, you're gonna collapse to the floor. It's gonna take you a few days to walk properly again. So much for being subtle and discreet. The team will definitely notice.
You entered the cortex. Caitlin and Cisco were present, of course. Cisco was chilling in his seat, feet up on the desk, while fiddling with a pen. As usual was babbling, about how excited he is to know what kind of meta you have to deal with today to Caitlin who was invested in whatever she was doing on the computer.
He paused, seeing you entered the room.
"I take that your date went well last night," he teased.
Caitlin spun her chair around to face you, cocked her head slightly and an intrigued look crossed her face.
You rolled your eyes. "I didn't have a date, Cisco," you insisted.
You know that, of course, they would wonder. Usually, you would come to the lab around Dr. Wells would arrive, just so you can sneak into his tight schedule.
"I just overslept," you lied, not meeting anyone's eyes.
"Funny. Dr. Wells overslept, too," Caitlin commented with knitted eyebrows.
Your eyebrows lifted, surprised. Despite the fact that this happened before, it still surprises you how fast he can get here.
"He's here?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't he be?" Cisco scoffed jokingly.
Your face paled. Oh crap. You were not as good as him.
You opened your mouth, but luckily, Barry, Joe and Wells entered the cortex to save you. They got a case that needed some insights. Members of a crime family had been murdered. Poisoned by gas, specifically. And Joe thinks that it's a Meta.
Wells wheeled to the desk. "Fascinating. A meta-human that can manipulate poison gas," Wells commented.
"Is it just poisonous gas or he can control all aerated substances?" Cisco questioned, walking to the comms, and stood behind Dr. Wells.
Caitlin followed suit. "And how is he able to formulate the connection. Is it physiological or psychological?" She inquired, taking a seat on the chairs, immediately working on something on the computer.
"This individual can create a mental nexus using gaseous substances," Wells said.
"You mean connective gases on a molecular level?" You asked him, eyes lighting up in excitement.
"Yes,"
"That is ridiculously cool," Cisco stated.
"This is so exciting," you squealed, rocking your feet in excitement like a child at an amusement park.
Barry laughed at your reaction, Joe looked at you incredulously.
You changed your expression and mimicked a frown, "I mean, it's devastating. People died. Sad."
"They get really excited about this stuff," Barry said to Joe.
"The only thing I'm excited about is putting criminals behind bars, except Iron Heights isn't exactly equipped to handle meta-humans," Joe stated.
"I guess it's fortunate the ones you've encountered so far no longer with us,"
It really is.
"Well, unless we're planning on executing every super criminal we stop, you geniuses are going to have to come up with someplace else to hold them,"
Joe was right. The number of people affected by the Particle Accelerator was huge, it's hard to track them all down, and killing them all isn't exactly the best approach for this problem.
"A meta-human prison? Sweet," Cisco murmured.
"Until we figure a way to remove their powers,"
"There is one place here that might hold them," All of your heads turned to Cisco in curiosity.
"You can't be serious," Caitlin scoffed. "We haven't been down there since— it's cordoned off."
"Cisco's right," Wells agreed. "It could be modified to acts as a makeshift prison,"
Caitlin looked at them in disbelief. Your eyebrows furrowed, confused. You tried to read the room, though you didn't get what they were talking about that made Caitlin upset. She's always been uptight, sure, but this was different. As if she was hurt.
"What could?" Barry asked.
"The Particle Accelerator," he replied.
It all suddenly clicked. Caitlin's fiancé died because of the explosion. Cisco told you he died down there. The details were vague, the team wasn't very open to discuss whatever happened that night.
Silence hung around the cortex, as everyone shifted uncomfortably. It was a touchy subject. To you, to Barry, to Joe, especially to them; the ones who lose more than anyone in this room.
"Uhm, I guess we should go down," Cisco spoke.
You all agreed. Cisco scurried out of the room immediately. Wells was about to follow Cisco, but turned over his shoulder, asking Caitlin if she wants to come with you.
Caitlin didn't budge. She stared blankly at the distance, lost in her own world. The doctor called out to her again, only to be ignored.
"Caitlin," he called her. Caitlin whipped her head around, raising an eyebrow in question. "Did you hear me? Are you going down the accelerator with us?"
Barry cleared his throat. "Actually Dr. Wells used Caitlin's help identifying the poison gas." He turned to Caitlin. "If that's okay with you."
Caitlin smiled at your brother. "Let's go."
Taking a step forward, your body reminded you how sore you were. You limped as you tried to exit the cortex. You weren't exactly subtle. The team noticed you struggling with... walking.
"You okay, Y/N?" Joe was obviously concerned. "You're walking a little funny,"
Your eyes flickered to your boyfriend's blue ones. He was watching you carefully, just to see how you are going to dodge this. You wonder are you going to, as well.
If you had a dollar for every single person who corners you, you'll have— well, two dollars.
"Yeah," you chuckled nervously. "Just a little sore. Took some workout classes last night, and the trainer was very hard and intense on me." He coughed at your choices of words, blush creeping up on his cheek.
Your lips curved slightly, only for it to fade when Joe pointed at your neck. "Your trainer gave you some hickeys as well?" He questioned.
Your eyes went wide, cheeks turning
into a dark shade of red, hands quickly flew your neck to cover whichever part of your neck he left a mark on. He's not a damn good detective if it weren't for his observation skills.
"I think I heard Cisco calling us. Gotta go! Bye!" You sprinted-staggered out of the cortex.
Joe looked at Caitlin for answers. Caitlin shrugged and answered, "She had a date,"
You all approached the entrance of the accelerator. You've never been here before, it's not like you have any reason to down here, but the thought of wandering the what's underneath the floor you work for that blew a hole in the city did enter your mind countless of times. You didn't want to ask, though. It was a sensitive subject.
It's huge space, hollow, dim, despite the number of lights it has, and there's a lot of pipes. There's not much to say, really.
"The copper in the tube is arranged to form cavities," Wells pointed out, wheeling inside. "And we can use those cavities as containment, which we have to design to counteract meta-humans abilities, but..." He paused, processing a thought.
"This is perfect," Cisco said with a heave of chest. He seemed reluctant, but it was the best option you got.
All of you take a look around, check for somethings that could be faulty or ruptured by the explosion, so you could fix it, before building the makeshift prison. Cisco took the other side, and you followed Wells.
You pulled your cardigan across your chest, and crossed your arms. It felt strange and bone-chilling, almost. Lurking around the place that someone died in. Ronnie, Caitlin's fiancé could have been anywhere in here, before he died. It must be so hard for Caitlin. It must have hurt so bad. She had to go to work everyday to the place where the love of her life was killed. You always wondered what he was like, prior to the whole mess 10 months ago. No one talked about him, and asking seems to be so insensitive for people you just had met. But it's been months, and you're all way past being just colleagues. You're dating your boss.
"You never talked about him," you began.
His eyes wandered around, too busy inspecting to turn to you. "About who?"
You wondered if he was truly oblivious or he just wants to confirm if you were asking about him.
"Ronnie," You saw the way his posture stiffened when you mentioned his name, but he didn't stop or paused.
You felt bad for asking. He never really says anything. You know he feels bad, but he was never vulnerable with it. 6 months of dating, he just never talked about his pain, and during the times he was actually in the state of it, you weren't in his life.
"He was a structural engineer for the project; he was a good man, a smart man," he said.
"And he died down here?" You inquired.
He nodded. "Yes,"
"How?" He slowed down, before eventually stopping.
You were met with silence. You instantly felt bad. You knew that you crossed a line and let your curiosity get the best of you. The details may be too much for him to explain.
You shook your head in regret. "I'm sorry. That was insensitive," you apologized.
"No, it's fine." He waved his fingers dismissively. "He contained the blast; adjusted it to make sure that it would go upward, not outward. He wasn't able to go out, since a lockdown was initiated. He saved so many lives that night, including mine."
You know he felt bad. For Barry, for Ronnie, for everyone. You took a step forward to him, and hugged his shoulders from behind tightly. You gave him a peck on the cheeks, then rested your chin on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry you lost him," you murmured to his ear.
He sighed, relaxing in your arms, as he put a hand on your arm and rubbed his thumb against the fabric of your cardigan, soothingly.
"Thank you," he mumbled.
"How about dinner again tonight? Just to cheer you up," you suggested.
"I thought we're gonna take a break from your cooking,"
You rolled your eyes, but you were the one who suggested it. You need practice, not spontaneous dinner with lack of experiences with cooking meals.
"I know—"
He straightened. "But…?" He already knew that there is an underlying agenda.
You were hesitant to even say it now, but it doesn't hurt to try. Again.
"There's this amazing restaurant that opened last month. They're not that pricey, but they serve a pretty decent steak. So I was wondering if he could go there too, you know, go on an actual date," you whispered the last part with a wince on your face.
You dreaded his reaction, because deep inside, you know what he's going to say. But you kept your hopes up that he might change his mind on the whole thing.
"Y/N…" He exhaled. "You already know what that means. "We talked about this, right? I don't think it's the best time for us to go public with our relationship."
You sighed, exasperated. You unwrap your arms around him. You heard those excuses enough today. "I know, babe. But why do these people matter? We don't need the public's seal of approval for being in a relationship." You argued.
He turned around to face you. You watched him, as he took your hands and kissed your knuckles sweetly. "We don't," he told you sincerely.
"Then why?"
"It's not the best time. Your brother just woke up and he has a new power to deal with. As long everything worked out, we'll talk about it, okay?" His eyes searching into yours for yes, so you look down at your feet.
You knew, of course. He told you that earlier, still you pushed. You always attempt to do this, using every reason and excuse, but it always leads to you being disappointed. You wonder why it still feels the same despite getting this reaction so many times.
This anger bubbled in your chest. "Yeah, I know. It's what you always say," you murmured through your gritted teeth, sarcasm dripping off of it.
He opened his mouth to reply, but you didn't give him a chance to do so, you walked ahead, past him. Wells, who was very aware of your frustration, followed you. He decided not to react or add fuel to fire. It was not the time nor the place.
While inspecting, walking quickly, so you stay a couple of meters ahead of him, you feel your phone vibrate in your pocket. You fished it out. A notification popped out of the screen. It was a text from Iris.
"Hey. Are you busy tonight?”
***
Yikes. What do you think will happen?
Anyway, I'd really appreciate if you share this and give it some love. Thanks!
Part III
