Notes: Not super happy with how this turned out, but oh well, I missed writing and wanted to write some more. Please send requests im up to s7 of the walking dead, so am also taking requests for that! Also in this Shannon never came back, she left and Chris has no memory of her.

part one

The journey in the ambulance had been uneventful, despite there being a paramedic in the back of the van with you and your boys, Eddie had taken over your care. The paramedic that had been accompanying in the van had mostly just sat back and let him take over, occasionally pointing out where some bits of equipment were.

The pain in your leg was still excruciating, and it didn’t help that Eddie was shining a light in your pupils every few minutes to check the reactions. Once he realised your leg injury was not your only injury, and you had been knocked unconscious by debris, he had become frenzied urging the driver to go faster while he kept checking your vitals. You hadn't even told him you hit his head, but when he helped you to get a bit more comfortable on the stretcher he noticed the blood that stained his hand after he held your head.

“Eddie, I’m fine, my leg is just hurting” You said, pushing the torch away from your face after Eddie started checking your eyes again.

“Fine? Babe your head is bleeding and your leg is looking a bit squashed,” Eddie sighed. He was clearly worried about you. 

Chris had remained curled up to your side on the stretcher, clutching your middle, scared to let go. Despite the stressful situation, his heart had warmed at the sight in front of him. 

Once you had arrived at the hospital you were placed in the urgent waiting room. As you were still conscious and talking, people who had been more injured in the earthquake had taken priority over you. Due to the state of your leg the ambulance staff had placed you in a wheelchair and disinfected the stretcher before they headed back out to help more people. 

“How are you feeling?” Eddie asked, once again. 

“Chris, your dad is crazy,” You said, ignoring Eddie looking at the boy slouched over the arm of your wheelchair. Eddie rolled his eyes and smirked at this. 

It wasn’t much longer until you were called to be seen by a doctor, and your boys quickly stood up and wheeled you into the room with the doctor. Chris held onto your hand and walked alongside you as Eddie pushed you.

“How are you feeling?” The doctor asked as soon as she shut the door to the private room.

“Mom got hurt in the earthquake,” Chris spoke first. He was so quick that you hadn’t had the chance to speak yet. 

“Well, we better check mom out then,” The doctor said, smiling at Chris.

For the rest of the appointment, you were referred to as mom as the doctor tried to reassure Chris, and it just warmed something in your heart. Unknown to you but it also made Eddie’s heart swell. 

Despite you feeling fine, the doctor wanted to keep you for observation overnight and you had managed to convince her to let Eddie and Chris stay with you. Chris went back to being snuggled into your side once you were given a bed, and promptly fell asleep. 

“How are you feeling, mom?” Eddie whispered, putting emphasis on the last word. 

“Apart from the broken leg, I feel amazing,” you whispered looking down at the sleeping boy tightly curled into you. “I can’t believe he called me mom.”

“He loves you so much, as do I.” Eddie smiled as he leant forward to give you a small kiss “Which I guess means I've got to do something.”

You looked puzzled as Eddie leant over and shook Chris awake. 

“Eddie, he was asleep, what are you doing?” you ask, very confused, but your question was ignored.

“Chris, do you remember that thing I said I was going to ask mom one day, it’s time.” Upon hearing this Chris shot up, filled with so much energy and sat up at the end of your bed.

“Your jacket is over there dad” Chris pointed to the chair in the corner of the room. Eddie quickly stood up, and hurried over to the chair, almost slipping over on the clean hospital floors.

“Be careful Eddie, we don’t want both of us injured,” you sighed.

“It’s all good mom, don’t you worry,” he smiled.

Eddie sat down in the chair next to your head, jacket folded over on his lap, and took your hands in his.

“What are you doing?” You sit up a bit more in your bed, confused as to what was happening.

“It’s okay mom,” Chris said. It was hard to feel worried when he called you mom, it made you so happy. You turn back to Eddie who has your hands in his. 

“y/n, you have made both mine and Chris’s life so much better. There isn’t anyone I’d rather be Chris’s mom, and my wife.” Eddie paused, reaching into the inside zip pocket of his jacket. You wanted to ask what was happening, but you were in such shock you were speechless. In Eddie’s hand was a small velvet box. While holding the box, he went back to cradling your hand. 

“y/n will you do me the absolute pleasure of being my wife” Eddie’s voice started to crack. 

“And my mom!” Chris shouted.

“Yes, and Chris’ mom. Will you please marry me?” At this point, Eddie’s voice was wobbling while he awaited your answer. 

You struggled to speak, eyes streaming, your spare hand over your mouth in shock. Unable to get the words out you just nodded. 

“Yes?” Eddie questioned.

“Yes.” you nodded. 

Eddie quickly grabbed your hand and placed the sparkling ring that was once in the box on your ring finger, and then kissed your face all over before placing on last kiss on your lips while cradling your face in his hands. 

“Eddie, have you just been carrying around this gorgeous ring?” you asked as you began to admire the jewellery adorning your finger. 

“For about a year and a half,” he shrugged looking down at your hand. 

“We’ve only been together a little over 2 years,” you laughed. 

“I would’ve had it sooner, but it was really hard to get your ring size without being obvious.” he smiled.

“You are crazy Edmundo,” you laughed.

“Crazy for you, and now you’re stuck with me forever.”

“I wouldn’t want anything else, now get your butt on this bed, I want to have a cuddle with my boys,” you said as you shuffled making space for the three of you. Once Eddie was on the bed, you helped Chris get in the middle of you, it was tight and uncomfortable, but you didnt want to be anywhere else. 

“I love you guys, and now you’re my boys, forever.” you smiled as you placed a kissed on each of their heads.

“I love you mom”

911 7x07 SPOILERS

Eddie cheating on Marisol has so many knock on effects for the other relationships in his life.

LYING to Buck and Chris without even hesitating. Buck? The one he trusts his child with more than anyone in the world and speaking of his child is he so blinded by the idea of finding him a mother that he’s willing to introduce a woman (he hardly knew anything about) into Chris’s life only to then cheat on that women WITH HIS DEAD WIFE’S DOPPELGÄNGER?

Eddie Diaz what are we doing, who are you right now?

“Im a nester, I nest” and the only people he actually was willing to/ended up building a home with are Shannon and Buck like come on babe.

I am so interested with this character arc because there is SO much to dig into, I can’t with the idea of people finding out ESPECIALLY Buck after everything and Bobby after all those conversations they’ve had. My goodness Eddie Diaz

Temptation Tuesday

Tagged by my beloved @honestlydarkprincess tysm babe!

Since last night I wanna work on a season 7 fic that deals with Natalia and Marisol dealing with the dynamics that are Buddie and the Buckley Diaz family. There will be double dates, talks about the will, Buck and Christopher, Buck and Eddie being in love with each other but being idiots about it (don't worry they'll get there eventually), and other shenanigans

I've talked about this before, but I also wanna do a Buddie childhood best friends to lovers au that will more than likely also be second chance love. I wanna incorporate what we learned about Eddie and Shannon and see about how that would work with Buck being there as well

I just recently had the urge to do a small town au. I'm not sure if I want to it to be second chance love or one of them end up moving to this small town. Either way there will be fun small town shenanigans in the form of the firefam.

I've also mentioned this before, but I was listening to a song and there were lyrics that were perfect for a fwb fic so I wanna do one as well (but it won't be anywhere as good as other ones)

I also wanna write a big Madney wedding fic where there's lots of fun shenanigans that lead to the wedding. Would want to include: bachelor and bachelorette parties, Madney being all gooey and lovesick, Buddie being idiots and lovesick, and Buckley sibling feels and Chimney and Eddie feels.

Tagging: @wh0re-behavi0r @monsterrae1 @eddiediazisascorpio @usercowboy @enchantedbuckley @littlebitofdiaz @dorkydiaz @speaknowdiaz @thebuckley-hans @madneyslifeline @cowboy-buddie @elvensorceress @loveyourownsmiilee @jacksadventuresinwriting @alyxmastershipper @destielbuddiepipeline and anyone else who wants to do this!

buck texting tommy after finding out about doppel! shannon: you will not believe the hetero bullshit eddie is pulling tommy: babe it's 2am, and that's not even how it works

buck: he's cheating on his girlfriend with a woman that looks just like his dead wife

tommy: what in the hetero--

#911 #911 spoilers #bucktommy #evan buckley #tommy kinard #eddie diaz #i am going between horror and some sort of schadenfreude like a fucking ping pong ball

Re: Kim/Shannon... Given the existence of "gay clones," it's really not particularly "what in the hetero." Just human, maybe? And a pretty longstanding fictional trope.

[buckwheeler]

neeeed a coma dream esque episode where Eddie is transported to Shannon in the ambulance and she doesn’t die. And he’s like oh my god I’ve been given a second chance and he thinks this is the timeline where she lives and I can fix everything and we can be a family and she’s like.no ..Eddie, I still want a divorce babe. And then they have the most amazing divorce ❤️❤️❤️ absolutely argue so much like they have scarjo Adam driver sometimes I wish you were dead!!! Style screaming matches and then finally escape the vortex and like find the way to co-parent and the divorce benefits them both as people SO MUCH and Eddie gets to be a real boy and it’s absolutely the Best thing for Chris and eddies like. Siiigh and we montage through 7 seasons of divorced Diaz family bliss and then Eddie wakes up and it’s not that timeline its this timeline and Chris is in Texas and Shannon is dead and he’s a monoprint. Good 👍 😊

Wow. Shannon in this yellow dress tho

👀👀👀

[firehousefreak911]

i dont know if you're taking requests, but if you are could you do a eddie diaz x reader where his family comes to visit and sees how good the reader is with chris and how much they love eddie and his family and they tell eddie to marry them because they are exactly what his familys been needing to complete the puzzle

Its not perfect but its done. I may redo it eventually.

Meet the Family

You and Eddie had been dating a little over a year, you knew he had been through so much with his late wife Shannon, that you never pushed the topic of marriage. You had moved in about 3 months ago to help with Christopher during his 24 hour shifts.

Eddie’s family arrives in a couple hours, you are a nervous wreck.

“Y/n, babe, there is nothing for you to worry about” Eddie reassures you, “they are going to love you”

“Are you sure?” You ask.

He kisses you forehead and looks you in the eyes. “I’m positive”

His family arrived around 3.

“You must be the famous y/n that our Eddie has told us so much about” his mother asked.

“Oh all good I hope? it’s lovely to meet you” you said leaning in for a hug. You greeted his parents, his abuela and his Tia Pepa.

You were all at the restaurant you sat between Eddie and Christopher.

“Let’s look at the menu, Christopher” you said leaning over to help him.

“What do you want to eat? They have chicken, burgers, grilled cheeses, what sounds good?” You asked

“I want a steak!” He said excitedly.

“Christopher, you know you don’t like the steak here remember, pick something else” you guided him.

“All right, how about a grilled cheese and fries!” He picked.

You looked up to see Eddie’s mom, abuela and aunt looking you with smiles. Everything was going great, until the topic of Eddie’s career came up.

“So, y/n, what do you think of Eddie being a firefighter? Isnt it a very dangerous job?” His dad asked. You looked at Eddie, who started to look annoyed.

“Well yes, but at the end of the day I know he is going to save lives and come home to Christopher and I” you said, reaching across the table to hold Eddie’s hand.

Dinner was nearing an end.

“Edmundo, you know we didn’t approve of this move to LA and we didn’t approve of our grandson living here especially after his mother died, but I think it was for the best, y/n completes this family” his mother said.

“Si, you have found an amazing woman, an amazing mother for Christopher and maybe even a wife” his abuela said gesturing over to where you had walked Christopher to the ball machine.

“Thats the plan” he responds pulling a ring box out of his pocket, ”I was thinking of asking her tonight”

You and Christopher had returned, Christopher asked to go get ice cream.

Christopher was covered in chocolate ice cream. You had went to grab some napkins. When you came back Eddie was smiling nervously. He got out of his chair and walked around to you. He cleared his throat.

“Y/N y/ln, you have made me so happy, I never thought I would be as happy as I am. You not only make me happy but Christopher to, you didn’t push to be his mother but slowly he made you that. I love you and couldn’t imagine life without you, will you marry me?” He asked getting down on one knee. You started crying and shook your head yes. Eddie grabbed you in a kiss. Then oulled Christopher over for a group hug.

Just then you heard an applause, you looked to see Eddie’s family being joined by the 118. This was a moment that will always bring you happiness.

Second Chances (Johnny Lawrence x F!Reader)

Requested ages ago by @awesomemikaus:  a request from johhny. where is he talking to miguel about life, girls and when he asks him if he loves someone, someone special, johhny answers yes, he fell in love with the reader since high school, they got married but then everything went wrong, bc johhny is johhny Maybe she was cheated on by Robby's mom.

Author's Note: I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK A WHILE BUT I FINALLY MANAGED TO FINISH IT AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!!!! I also went with a different direction to this story, I made reader Amanda's sister XD

==========

“Hey Sensei?” Miguel walks into the small office of the dojo where Johnny sits, popping open a Coors Banquet. “Can I talk to you?” Johnny takes a swig before swallowing his sip and moving to the front of his desk, propping himself on the edge.

“Yeah, of course. What’s wrong, Diaz?”

“So you know the girl I’ve been talking to?” Johnny nods his head, “well, I want to ask her out, but I don’t know what she’d say, let alone what to say if she rejects me,” Miguel slumps in the old office chair as Johnny walks to his fridge, pulling out a beer for Miguel, who looks at it in question.

“Don’t be a pussy. Drink,” Johnny orders, bringing his own drink to his lips. “Listen, Diaz, don’t let a girl slip away because you weren’t manly enough. With babes, you’ve got to show dominance and assertiveness, because if you don’t, they don’t pay attention to you,” he states as Miguel waits for him to continue. “Don’t cheat too. Chicks hate that.”

“Well yeah…” Miguel hesitates, looking at the bottle before taking a sip and grimacing at the taste. “Everyone hates cheating,” Johnny raises his bottle in agreement.

“If you do cheat, some girls beat your ass so badly and then leave you in a ditch,” Miguel spits out his drink in shock.

“Sensei?” Johnny chuckles.

“I was dating a girl before, married her somehow, and we were happy, but a drunken one night stand ended our whole relationship.” “What happened?”

“I slept with someone else, she found out, dented my car and kicked me out on my ass. I was so piss drunk that I couldn’t do anything. Woke up the next morning and everything was gone. She was gone.” Johnny’s face falls slightly as he thinks back to all the times you and him were together. 

After he lost the All Valley Tournament to Daniel and had lost Ali to Daniel, no one had really wanted to go out with him, let alone hang with him. He found himself lost and lonely, until you showed up. Through the summer of his senior year and into his college years, you and him formed a relationship, eventually starting to date his sophomore year of college. Although he dropped out of college, you continued on with your education and it wasn’t until your graduation where he dropped to his knee and asked you to be his. 

Of course you were questioning his proposal. You loved Johnny, you really did but what could he offer you that somebody better couldn’t? However, the love outweighed the needs and so you and him got married and it was nice for a while, except when you would come home from late nights only to find him passed out with a beer in his hands. It didn’t take you long to find out that he was messing around with a new girl, Shannon and ended up getting her pregnant, so with what little dignity you have left, you threw his ass out and moved states and he hasn’t heard from you since. “Sensei,” Miguel’s voice snaps Johnny out of his thoughts as he looks over the teen. “Are you ok?” Johnny tosses the empty bottle of beer in the trash and picks up his coat before heading out the door. 

“Yeah, I’m fine. Class is dismissed today. I have some business to take up with LaRusso. You alright gettin’ home by yourself?” Miguel nods as he follows Johnny out of the dojo, the latter locking the door behind him. “Good, because some assholes last night torched my car and I’m gonna get payback.”

----------

Commotion outside your window stirs you from a nap. Stretching out your limbs, you look over to the clock and note that it’s almost dinner time and judging by the smell wafting through the house, Amanda is cooking something good, however, it’s not the food that has your attention. It’s Daniel and Amanda’s yelling followed by another person. “What’s going on?” You ask out loud to nobody as you slip out of the bed and fix yourself before making your way down the stairs, trying to see who’s causing all the commotion. Amanda and Daniel are standing in the doorway, their frames blocking the intruder’s but you did manage to get a glimpse of moppy blonde hair. 

Spotting Anthony, you quickly pull the younger LaRusso to the side. “What the hell is going on out there?” Anthony doesn’t bother looking up from his gameboy to meet your gaze.

“I don’t know. Some douchebag out there is saying Uncle Louie burnt his car. He’s trynna get dad to fight him.”

“Fight him?”

“Some bullshit about karate.”

“Watch your language young man,” you pinch his arm but let him go, trying to see who’s causing the trouble, however deep down you feel like you know who it is. Rounding the corner, your heart drops as your stomach lurches forward. In the courtyard stands no other than the man who broke your heart all those years ago. 

“How about we resolve this over dinner?” Amanda suggests, the three unaware of your presence. 

“I could eat.” “No!” You shout out before you could really think about what you’re saying, alerting the trio to your presence. “He’s not allowed to eat here.”

Johnny squints against the sun trying to make out the silhouette, but your voice is unmistakable. “(Y/N)?” Amanda and Daniel look at each other before looking between you and Johnny.

“You two know each other?”

“Wish I didn’t.”

“That was harsh,” Johnny snides back, stepping into the house as Daniel eyes Johnny warily and Amanda eyes you. 

“Ok what the hell is going on here?” Amanda questions as you let out a sigh, trying to relax your body. 

“Johnny and I were marri”

“Are married.”

“Were married until he cheated on me.” Johnny hangs his head in shame as you struggle to push back the tears that are resurfacing. 

“Look I know I made a mistake, but you didn’t have to damage my car and then literally kick me out,” Johnny steps toward you as Amanda pulls Daniel to her side, not wanting either of them to get into the argument. 

“That’s all you care about? The fact that I kicked you out and damaged your car?”

“Yeah! It was my ride!” Johnny yells back, extending his arms as you put up a stone wall around your heart because despite you being angry at him for cheating on you, you still love him more than you would care to admit. 

“Why don’t you stop bitchin’ and let’s eat,” Anthony comments, earning a slap at the back of his head from Daniel while you roll your eyes as Johnny stares at the kid. 

“Asshole sure has a mouth for a 5 year old.”

“I’m not five!”

“Ok look, everyone just calm down, (Y/N), would it be ok if Johnny joined for dinner?” Johnny fiddles with his fingers in anxiousness as he waits for your response. He won’t tell anybody but the prospect of having a conversation with you after all those years excites him. He knows he fucked up and even though he’s glad he has Robby - despite the kid wanting nothing to do with him - he regrets every other moment he spent with Shannon.

“Whatever,” you reluctantly agree as you take a seat at the table, Johnny sitting the opposite of you. “Don’t think I’m over what happened.”

“I wouldn’t expect you to. I would, however, like it if you could maybe give me a chance to explain?” His blue eyes silently beg you as you twirl the knife between your fingers. Finding love after what happened hadn’t been easy and despite his tendencies you do love him. 

“Can we discuss it after this? In private?” Johnny looks at Daniel who clenches his jaw, irritated that his former enemy is in his house, having dinner with his family and is married to his sister in law while Amanda sets down the plates of food.

“Yeah. That sounds good.” 

“Now that that’s settled, how about we eat?” Amanda breaks the awkward tension as you give her a small smile, picking up your fork and eyeing Johnny, who meets your gaze.

“Yeah, sounds good to me,” you comment with a smile as Johnny smiles back and you think to yourself, maybe this time will be different.

[like-the-rest-of-la]

It really is kind of hilarious that eddie made buck christophers legal guardian if something happens to him and he just told no one. Like babe that is really importnat information that you should share with at least one person

God I know right???

I'm still so... why did you not tell Buck this before? Why keep it to yourself for over a year? Like, there were opportunities, eg., around Buck begins, where it would have made sense for Eddie to tell Buck, but... he just didn't talk about it. He just kept it to himself.

(I know we like to talk about the implication of feelings involved in and around the act of making Buck Chris' legal guardian and why it might have been so hard to articulate what exactly it meant to Eddie at that point, bc he probably wouldn't have been able to put it into words at that time but) Part of me also thinks it's because Eddie didn't really deal with the well incident, which was also a traumatic experience for him? (like, I know we talk about the shooting a lot, but... being buried alive, barely making it out of a collapsed well... that's no joke either (it's my absolute nightmare). Instead he tackled the problem that immediately presented itself to him (what will happen to my son if I'm gone) and once that was dealt with, he sealed the whole damn thing shut and then used the good old Diaz coping mechanism, he 'moved' on. Because that was what was expected of him after he returned from Afghanistan, right? and he thinks that he kinda failed that one a bit, cause he (selfishly, Eddie would probably say) needed time and it drove his wife away.

So, maybe he didn't talk to Buck at that time because it would have meant to talk about the well (Buck sure would have asked questions) and what it was like being faced with his own mortality again, with the fact that he easily could have died that day (which is now a whole new level of fucked up because Shannon is gone, he's the only parent left). And Eddie can't really do that. He can't talk but he can do something. And he does, controls the situation - problem solved. And it breaks my heart a bit. Cause I keep thinking about season 3 eddie in therapy FIGHTING TO NOT CRY, to keep it all bottled up. Because, sometimes I get the feeling that if he would talk about it... really talk, it would just all break out of him, and he'd definitely need a LOT more time then - which he doesn't allow himself, not again.

And then when he finally told Buck about the will, it was still a hard conversation for him to have, but, honestly, I think he did it more for Buck's sake than his own in that moment? (Which on the other hand is such a testament to how important their relationship is for Eddie sjjskdkkdkd!!!)

Idk, Eddie always has problems talking about the trauma that happened to him in relation to himself (only always in the effect it had/has on others). As much as he tells Chris that it makes things less scary when you talk about them, he can practically almost never do it.

The problem is that we're now at a point where he stuffed so much trauma down into the little Eddie-Diaz-box that he can't hold it in any longer, and it's spilling over (hello panic attacks) - and I think it's pretty telling that Chris is having problems as well atm, bc he is close to his dad, subconsciously or even consciously, he's noticing that Eddie is NOT okay, and children tend to mirror that. Basically, Chris threw Eddie's own fear back at him, when he said 'you could be dead next year' something that Eddie struggles to articulate and then deal with.

Anyway this got way too long, I'm so sorry omg!!! 🙈🙈🙈

Five favorite fics I've written

i was tagged by @adventuresofprettyboyandthekid @princessfbi and @capseycartwright to post my favorite five fics i've written about... a week ago?

anyway, here's list! (in no particular order).

if love is art, then you might be my masterpiece - 81.6k, Explicit

Eddie's assigned roommate for his last year of college comes in the form of Evan "Buck" Buckley, a typical jock trying to sleep his way through the whole female campus population and chaos personified. However, after a string of incidents their relationship changes in a way Eddie was not prepared for. And then there is Shannon, Buck's best friend, who also shows interest in Eddie. Senior year turns out to be much messier than he could have ever predicted. OR: All Eddie wanted to do was make art and get a degree. He wasn't looking for love at all.

i'm begging you, come home to me - Thiam, 21k, General

There is a feeling that Theo didn't think he was still capable of that keeps crawling up his throat in an attempt to choke him. It's the guilt.  OR: two and a half years after Theo left Beacon Hills, Liam Dunbar strolls into the café he works at and turns his life upside down again.

when will my reflection show who i am inside - 16k, Teen and Up

In hindsight, Buck knows he struggled with his gender long before he even figured out that he liked boys as well as girls. The thing is, he just never really had the resources to figure that shit out .It's hard to put a finger on feelings like that when you don't have anyone who understands them or will tell you what they mean. OR: Buck struggles with gender identity, makes a new friend, comes out to the most important people and finds love along the way

trade our tears for diamond - 6.4k, General

"We need to talk about it, Eddie."  His stomach sinks, his heart skips a beat and every other cliché feeling of terror makes itself known in his body. He doesn't want to talk about it. If he does, he might break. But Buck is right, they have to talk about it eventually. OR: they finally talk about it amidst tears, smiles and kisses

all the reasons i'm not good enough - 4.3k, General

The last person he expected to be at his house this late at night is Maddie Buckley, but there she is. She's got Jee-Yun in a car seat, the little girl sleeping peacefully, and in her other hand is a bottle of red wine.  "I, uhm, I-," she starts, cutting herself off, and Eddie waits patiently as she searches for the right words. "The second most important people in our lives, well, my second and third, are out there risking their lives and I figured we could be terrified together."

and because it's hard to pick five fics from 99(!) of them, a sixth honorable mention:

you could call me babe for christmas ('tis the damn season) - 30.2k, Teen and up

"You could come with me," Buck blurts out, his own eyes going wide as he processes what he just said. Eddie looks at him with his mouth hanging open, eyebrows slowly creasing into a frown and Buck's mind grapples for an explanation, even if the reason he said it is quite simple: he always feels safer with Eddie by his side. "My parents want me to come to El Paso," Eddie says, and he looks like the words taste bitter in his mouth. "I'd love to get out of that, but I can't just leave Christopher with Abuela or Pepa while I run to Pennsylvania. Never mind that my parents would never accept it without a good reason." "Christopher can come, of course." OR: Buck and Eddie pretend to be dating as Buck takes the Diaz boys along to Hershey. Once there, things get a little out of hand, and Buck comes to a realization...

Not tagging anyone cause i'm a week late already and everyone has probably been tagged but if you wanna do this i encourage you and you can consider yourself tagged ❤️

It Isn’t in my Blood

Fandom: 9-1-1 Prompt:  Inspired by @kitkatpancakestack‘s “what if Buck finds the pamphlet“ post Pairing: Implied future Buddie - Evan Buckley (Buck) x Eddie Diaz Word Count: 2,330 Summary:    SPOILERS - A 5x01 missing scene - Buck finds the pamphlet on anxiety and panic attacks given to him by the cardiologist at the hospital and encourages Eddie to tell him what happened. Eddie breaks down and admits that maybe not everything is okay.

Beta’d by @firemedicdiaz​ Thank you babe <3

Read it on Ao3

             “I’ll just be a minute, you staying here?”  Eddie asked, hopping out of the truck and looking over at Buck.

              “Sure, sounds good,” Buck said, yawning.  Eddie nodded and closed the door, hurrying up the sidewalk as Buck settled back in his seat.  It had been such a long, chaotic shift and Buck was exhausted; Eddie just had to drop off a form at Christopher’s school and then they were going for breakfast.  Buck figured he had time for a short nap and shut his eyes, but sleep wouldn’t come.

              After a while it became apparent that Eddie was going to be longer than he’d said, and Buck was getting restless.  He grew bored quite easily of late, so he began poking around Eddie’s truck - changing the radio station, fiddling with the air freshener.  Absently, Buck hit the button on the dashboard that opened the glove box in front of him and looked down into it, wondering if there were any travel brochures left in there from a previous road trip that he could look at.   Instead, he pulled out a very different kind of pamphlet that looked like it had been shoved in carelessly and as he read the front, his eyebrows contracted with a small frown.

              Understanding Anxiety and Panic Attacks - Recognize the Signs and Symptoms

              Underneath the pamphlet were a couple of folded sheets of paper.  Upon quick inspection, Buck saw that they were discharge papers from the hospital dated a few days earlier with Eddie’s name in the patient field.

              Buck’s heart squeezed painfully as he stared at the slightly crumpled papers and then back at the pamphlet, realizing what it must all mean.  Buck had been startled earlier in the shift when that doctor had called out to Eddie, but Eddie had been very resistant to talking about his trip to the hospital.  Buck had dropped it for the time being as they had been chaotically busy the entire shift, but he had always intended to grill Eddie about it later.  Now, he suddenly understood what must have happened.  He knew from experience how scary panic attacks could be, how they could feel like a heart attack, especially if a person had never had one before.  

              He remembered how uncomfortable Eddie had looked when Buck had tried to confront him.  Buck knew how much Eddie relied on everyone thinking he was this stoic, unmoving rock, because it allowed him to hide his feelings and keep everything bottled up.  Buck was well aware that he himself and Bobby were the only two people that Eddie ever opened up to, and it made Buck’s heart hurt as he considered how shaken up Eddie must have been by the whole incident to be so resistant to telling him about it.

              Buck sighed, wishing he had known, thinking about how he could try to help Eddie as he skimmed the pamphlet.  He wanted to help, hating the idea that Eddie could be going through this alone.  He distinctly remembered how Eddie had tried to drag Buck out of his horrible depression and anxiety after the fire truck had crushed his leg and he wanted to be there for Eddie in turn.  Buck knew that Eddie had Ana, but if Buck was right about their relationship, he suspected that Eddie would be uncomfortable talking to her about his emotions.  He’d always had the feeling that while Eddie clearly liked Ana and they got along well, their relationship wasn’t particularly deep and Buck knew that Eddie had to really trust someone before he would open up.

              Lost in his thoughts, Buck was still looking at the pamphlet in one hand, the discharge papers held loosely in the other, when Eddie returned.

              “Alright, that’s all done, let’s go t-- Buck, what the hell?”

              Buck jumped as the driver’s door opened and Eddie swung himself inside, only to freeze when he saw what Buck was holding and reading through.  Buck started to stammer as Eddie snatched the papers and pamphlet out of his hands and threw them back into the glove box, snapping it shut and staring straight ahead, his chest rising and falling quickly, his jaw set.

              “Eddie, I-I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to snoop, I just found that in the glove box and I couldn’t help looking at it…”

              “It’s fine.  It’s nothing.”  Eddie’s voice was clipped, and Buck could tell he felt vulnerable and was not pleased about it.  

              “I mean, it’s not nothing,” Buck replied cautiously in a coaxing tone.  He hadn’t been planning on talking to Eddie about this before breakfast, but then there was no time like the present.    “Is this why you were in the hospital the other day?”

              Eddie shot him an annoyed look, because it was obvious that Buck had seen the discharge papers so the question was redundant, but then he sighed and nodded.

              “Yeah.  I’m fine though.”

              “Eddie… you’ve been through so much.  There’s no shame in having a panic attack--” Buck began, but Eddie started the truck and cut through his words sharply.

              “I don’t panic.”

              Buck frowned as Eddie pulled away from the curb and began to drive without saying another word.  Deciding to give him some space for a few so he could collect his thoughts, Buck stayed silent as they moved through the streets.   To his surprise, Eddie pulled up in front of Buck’s apartment building and parked, still looking straight ahead.

              “I… thought we were going for breakfast?”  Buck asked slowly, not sure what to expect.  Eddie seemed to steel himself, then glanced towards the building and shut off the truck.

              “I know you’re not going to let this go, and I don’t want to do it in public.  Let’s go up to your loft.”  

              Eddie’s voice was gruff, but Buck was grimly pleased that he wasn’t resisting.  Buck knew that Eddie knew Buck would not let this slide, would not let it rest until he was sure that Eddie was okay.  Taking his lead, Buck agreed and hopped out of the truck, following Eddie up to his building and then leading the way into his apartment.

              “Let’s get this over with,” Eddie said in a resigned voice as he moved into the kitchen and leaned against the counter, Buck pulling himself up and sitting on the counter across from him.  “What do you want to know?”

              “What happened?” Buck asked simply.  “I know you went to the hospital, you were seen by a cardiologist, and now you have a pamphlet on panic attacks.  What actually happened?”

              Eddie gnawed the inside of his lip, still refusing to look at Buck as he mulled over what to say.  He was staring at the lower part of the counter in front of him, Buck’s shoe dangling in his line of sight, though he wasn’t seeing much.  All he could see in his mind was that damn suit store, the feeling of the tightness in his chest making him feel claustrophobic and deeply uncomfortable.

              “I don’t know.  We were trying on suits, and then I just… collapsed.  I thought I was having a heart attack,” Eddie summarized it as succinctly as he could, but he knew it wasn’t going to be enough for Buck.

              “Okay, but what triggered that?” Buck asked, his voice gently prodding.  “Did something upset you, or…?”

              Eddie shifted uncomfortably, and Buck’s lips curled in a small, sad smile.  

              “Eddie, it’s just me.  You can talk to me.  You know you can trust me.  Please tell me what happened.”

              For a brief moment, Eddie lifted his eyes and met Buck’s gaze.  Buck’s expression was earnest, concerned, and Eddie knew he was right.  If there was anyone in this world he could trust, it was Buck.  Still, he hated talking about his emotions, especially ones he felt like he couldn’t control.  And yet, he felt like if he didn’t share it with someone he may explode because he was starting to seriously wonder what was going on in his brain.

              “I… you know I’m not good at this,” Eddie muttered, and Buck nodded.

              “I know, but… you were there for me when everything with my parents was going on.  You told me it was okay to feel what I was feeling, and to share it.  I want that for you, too,”  Buck told him gently, and Eddie sighed.  He felt like a hypocrite; he had told Buck those things, and he had meant it.  But for some reason when it came to himself, he had different rules.

              “The last time Chris and I wore suits was at Shannon’s funeral,” Eddie said, averting his gaze once more as he began to speak.  “I guess that was already putting me on edge.  I couldn’t stop thinking about her death and everything that had happened right before she died.  I just wanted to get out of there.”

              Eddie paused but Buck didn’t say anything, not wanting to interrupt.  Buck had a feeling that if Eddie stopped talking he wouldn’t start again so he waited patiently, keeping his mouth shut.

              “I think Chris was feeling it, too, but I was too distracted to notice.  And then… then the sales guy called Ana Chris’s mom.”

              Buck tilted his head to the side, looking over at Eddie, slightly confused.  Eddie and Ana had been together for nearly six months, it was only natural that at some point she would be mistaken for Chris’s mom.  But Eddie seemed shaken and Buck wasn’t sure he was going to continue.

              “What happened then?” Buck asked quietly, trying to gently prompt Eddie to speak again without spooking him.  Eddie had gotten a somewhat haunted look in his eyes and Buck could tell he was getting upset.  He was tempted to tell Eddie to stop, not wanting him to be distraught, but he sensed Eddie really needed to get it out there, so Buck would do everything he could to coax it out.

              “I- I genuinely don’t know,” Eddie said, shaking his head.  “Hearing that, it just… it intensified my thoughts about Shannon, and thinking of Ana as Chris’s mom is just - just so far beyond where we are in our relationship, and I- I…”

              Eddie was starting to get visibly upset and Buck slipped off the counter, moving over to stand beside him in case he needed support.

              “It made me realize that m-maybe I don’t want-- maybe things aren’t going so great, or something.  I don’t know.”

              “And then?” Buck prompted gently, feeling his heart break as Eddie glanced at him, clearly upset.

              “And then… I don’t know.  I don’t panic,” Eddie said stubbornly, though as he thought back to what had happened, he let out a long, unhappy sigh.  “But… I guess I panicked.  I don’t know.  I felt overwhelmed, and my chest got tight and I couldn’t breathe… I got really dizzy and fell over, I thought I was having a heart attack.”

              “Panic attacks can be really scary,” Buck told him, trying to reassure him.  “They can definitely feel like heart attacks.”

              “I don’t panic,” Eddie repeated, scowling at the floor.  “I never panic.  Not in the military, not when Shannon died, not when you nearly died several times…”

              “Eddie, you’ve been through a lot,” Buck reasoned, trying to brush off the last part of the sentence, as though it wasn’t a big deal to him that his near-death experiences were one of the things Eddie considered most upsetting.  “Do you think the shooting could be part of this?  Or is it just your relationship?”

              Eddie shifted uncomfortably again, not responding, and as Buck watched him, he saw tears start to pool in Eddie’s eyes, despite Eddie continually refusing to make eye contact.  

              “Are you okay?” Buck asked quietly, reaching out and touching him, gripping Eddie’s forearm lightly in a gesture of support.   This one little touch seemed to have caused him to come undone, however, and Buck saw his expression contort, his lips pressed together tightly as he tried and failed to stop himself crying.

              “No,” Eddie finally blurted out, seemingly completely against his will.  “No, I’m not okay.”

              Buck’s heart broke and he immediately reached out to embrace Eddie, giving him a chance to pull away if he wanted.  When he didn’t, Buck wrapped his arms around him and held him as Eddie choked into his shoulder, trying desperately to stop himself from outright sobbing.  It was rare that Buck had seen Eddie cry - he hadn’t seen it since Shannon’s death - and Buck wished he could take Eddie’s pain away, wished he could make the world right for him again.  

              After a few moments Eddie squirmed in his arms and Buck got the message that he was uncomfortable so he pulled away, but he didn’t go far.  Eddie seemed determined to not meet his gaze, furiously wiping at his eyes, and Buck gently rubbed his back, sensing that he really wanted comfort but was trying to stop himself from allowing it.  They stood like that for a while, until Eddie’s attempts at stopping his tears dissolved and he took a shaky breath, letting them slip down his cheeks as he pulled himself together.

              “It’s okay to not be okay sometimes.  You’re going to get through this,” Buck told him, his hand stilling in the middle of Eddie’s back.  “And I’m gonna help you get through it, if that’s what you want.”

              Eddie swallowed, sniffing, as he listened to Buck speak.  He’d always gone through things alone.  He’d always thought that was the best way to do it.  But in that moment, standing there, knowing he had Buck’s full love and support behind him, Eddie started to wonder if maybe having Buck at his side would be a much better option than going it alone.   Eddie nodded slowly, glancing at Buck for a moment before looking away, nodding again.

              “Yeah,” Eddie took a shaky breath and looked over at Buck, feeling the tiniest flicker of hope in his heart.  “That’s what I want.”

However Brief

by an_sceal

Robby’s eyes flick toward the bikini babe poster in the dining room, then the stack of Hot Rod magazines on the coffee table. "Suuuure. Everything about you screams 'cool with gay guys', right?"

Robby has made it pretty clear all along that he doesn't want anything Johnny has to offer. That at the end of the day, the only connection they've got is a DNA test and Johnny’s spare room. Robby only talks to him to pick a fight, and the few times he's tried for a little more Robby has shut down, putting on headphones and ignoring him until he goes away.

It's not the first time Johnny’s loved someone who's never going to love him back, though. And unlike before, he's got the chance and perspective not to entirely fuck this up.

"I was in love with a guy in high school. Senior year."
