Paper Rings (Buddie's Version)

5 times Buck makes Eddie a paper ring + 1 time Eddie gives him a real on

Read on ao3 here

It started as a joke really. Buck wasn’t sure where he’d gotten the notion, maybe from that stupidly catchy Taylor Swift song May had been so insistent on playing all summer. Something about it had wormed its way into a small corner of his brain and he couldn’t shake the words.

I’d marry you with paper rings

He’d thought about marrying Eddie. Of course, he had. A small part of him felt he and Eddie had been married for years, had been married since they’d stopped posturing over a man with a grenade in his leg and became some semblance of friends. Since Eddie had looked him in the eyes, stupidly large hand on his shoulder and ridiculously soulful brown eyes filled with so much sincerity and concern and said “There is no one in this world I trust with my son more than you.” He’d thought about it more recently, as they crossed the threshold over one year of dating. He thought about the pages of bookmarked rings he was hiding from Eddie on his laptop. He was months away from clicking the button to buy one, they had time, but he wanted it more than anything.

“What’s on your mind babe?” Eddie’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

“Nothing important. Just drifting.”

Buck fiddled with the straw wrapped, winding it around his finger. He’d brought coffee by the station on his day off, playing the role of thoughtful, off-duty friend, but it was really a ploy to see his boyfriend. The others had recognized that, thanking Buck for the coffee and making themselves as scarce as possible in the crowded firehouse, giving him and Eddie some time alone in the loft.

“Thank you for bringing the coffee baby. You know you didn’t have to do that,” Eddie took a sip of his latte.

“It’s no big deal. I wanted to see you anyway.”

“We saw each other this morning Buck,” he chuckled.

“I know. I just don’t like being on different shifts. I don’t like you being here without me when I can’t have your back.”

“I know honey,” Eddie tapped his fingers against Buck’s wrist.”But you’re gonna be there to pick up Christopher and feed him more junk food than I would ever approve of. Then I’ll be home in the morning to take him to school and we get a whole eight hours of uninterrupted us time.”

Buck nodded, continuing to wrap the paper around his finger, twisting the ends into a knot, and using the condensation from his cup to mold it into a shape that roughly resembled a ring. He reached across the table to take Eddie’s hands and slipped it off his own finger and onto Eddie’s.

“What’s this?” Eddie laughed, lifting his hand to look at what Buck had just made.

“A ring,” he said sheepishly, ducking his head.

“A paper ring. Like that dumb song, May has insisted on blaring for weeks?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“You’re so cute baby,” Eddie chuckled, leaning over the table to kiss Buck softly.

Buck laughed into the kiss, cutting it short in case one of their teammates decided to come upstairs and give them shit.

“You can take it off if you want.”

“Shut up, I’m keeping it. Well, I’ll take it off before the next call, but you made it for me so I’m keeping it.”

Buck blushed but didn’t have time to dwell on it as the alarm started ringing.

“Thanks for the coffee babe. I’ll see you in the morning, I love you.”

“I love you too Eds, please be safe.”

“Always,” Eddie kissed the top of his head and he passed by, jogging down the stairs to catch up to the rest of the team.

As they pulled out of the bay, Eddie looked down, remembering the flimsy paper ring on his finger. He slipped it off, tucking it safely in the pocket of his turnout coat.

“What’s that?” Chim asked curiously.

“Nothing. Just a present from Buck.”

The second time, they were out to dinner with Hen and Karen. It wasn’t a double date necessarily, considering the two preteen boys occupying the booth next to them, close enough for their parents to keep an eye on them, but far enough that they felt like they were here on their own.

Buck wasn’t quite sure what was wrong with him today. His anxiety was cranked up to eleven, despite the fact that nothing was going on in his life that warranted anxiety. He’d told Eddie, and his ever-concerned boyfriend had insisted that they could stay home and take it easy that day. Christopher could still go out for lunch with Denny and he could ask Hen and Karen to drop him back by the house. But Buck had insisted, not wanting to ruin Chris’s plans, and not wanting Eddie to be trapped in the house with him all day, dealing with his funk.

So that’s how he found himself here, in a sticky booth of a pizza place in downtown LA, once again twisting a straw wrapper around his fingers.

“You alright Buckaroo?” Hen asked, looking at her friend with concern. “You seem off today.”

Buck picked mindlessly at the salad he had ordered, “Yeah I’m alright. Just didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Don’t worry, I’m forcing him to nap when we get home.”

“Like you won't immediately fall asleep next to me,” Buck teased.

The easy banter made him feel marginally better but he continued to fiddle with the wrapper, the continuous movement taking his brain off the thoughts rattling around in it. He listened half-heartedly as Eddie and Karen chatted about school and Christopher’s therapy, things Buck really should have had more of an opinion on, but he couldn’t bring his voice to work. Before he knew it, he had another ring clutched between his fingers, slightly uglier than the first one due to his shaking hands, but a ring nonetheless.

Under the table, he grabbed Eddie's hand, slipped the ring onto his left hand, and kept their fingers tangled together.

“You okay?” Eddie mouthed.

Buck nodded, squeezing lightly.

On the ride home, Buck kept glancing down at where his and Eddie’s hands were clasped over the center console. The flimsy paper ring was still nestled on his finger. It warmed his heart a little and helped to relax the fist that had been clenched tightly around his lungs since he woke up that morning. Eddie wearing his stupid paper ring made him feel ridiculously loved.

Buck forgot about the ring until dinner time. Between his forced nap, helping Christopher with homework, and keeping Eddie from burning down the kitchen making dinner, he had forgotten about the crumpled straw wrapper taking up space on Eddie’s finger. That was until Christopher brought it to his attention.

“Dad, what’s on your hand?”

“Huh?” Eddie looked down at his hand and chuckled. “Buck made it for me. It's a ring.”

He pulled it off carefully and showed it to his son.

“Why did Buck make you a ring?”

“Just a silly joke Chris,” Buck said, reaching over to ruffle his hair.

“Will you make me one next time?”

“Sure buddy.”

Three is a pattern. That’s what Buck had always heard from Maddie when he tried to convince her that his stupid stunts were totally accidents.

“One is an accident. Two is a coincidence. Three is a pattern, Evan.”

So his strange habit of making Eddie paper rings out of straw wrappers had become a pattern. He was sure Eddie had a small collection of them growing somewhere. If he even kept them. He wouldn’t blame him for throwing them away, but part of him liked to imagine that Eddie kept them somewhere safe, especially since he’d taken to wearing his little tokens all day long.

It had become almost subconscious, something to do with his hands as they sat around dinner tables or bar booths. Tonight it was the latter. Hen and Karen had invited them all out after their shift, to celebrate four days of freedom after a hellish week. Eddie was three Jack and Cokes deep, pressed against Buck’s said, arm slung over his shoulders on the back of the booth. He was nursing his own vodka and Sprite, leaning into his boyfriend’s solid warmth.

Tonight, however, he was doing it on purpose. The table was littered with straw wrappers, so it was easy to snatch one and start twisting it into the shape he’d become familiar with. As he worked, Eddie’s left hand drifted to rest on his thigh, rubbing gently over the denim that covered his skin.

“Hi,” he whispered against his ear.

“Hi,” Buck broke his concentration for a moment to look at him.

“Whatcha doin'?” Eddie’s head rested against his.

“Making your ring. It’s almost done.”

Eddie stayed like that, plastered to his side, watching as Buck finished his masterpiece. He picked up Eddie’s hand and slipped the ring on.

“Thanks, baby,” Eddie kissed the side of his head. “I’m gonna get another drink, anyone else want anything?”

The rest of the team spouted off their drink orders and Bobby excused himself to help Eddie with the load.

“What was that Buckaroo?” Chimney asked, leaning forward to prop his chin in his hand and stare his brother-in-law down with a little too much intensity for a drunk person.

“What was what?”

“You sitting over there with Eddie being all lovey and gross. Then you just tie a straw wrapper on his head and he acts like it’s the best present he’s ever gotten. What gives?”

“Nothin’ gives. It’s just a joke. I make him rings out of straw wrappers and he wears them. It’s just for fun.”

“That is sickeningly cute,” Albert pretends to gag then promptly takes a sip of his beer to hide his smile.

“Albert stop flirting with my boyfriend,” Eddie demands as he comes back to the table with a tray of drinks, Bobby following closely behind with the rest.

“I was calling both of you cute,” Albert winked, taking his drink from Eddie.

Eddie slides back down in the booth and smacks a kiss to the side of Buck’s head. “Another vodka and Sprite for my cute boyfriend.”

“Thanks, babe.”

Buck took Eddie’s hand into his lap and began playing absentmindedly with his fingers. He twisted the paper around his finger, sliding it on and off. He didn’t even notice when Eddie snatched up his own wrapper, twisting it into a similar shape and sliding it onto Buck’s hand.

“There, now we match.”

Eddie had a small pile of paper rings building up in his work locker. He liked that Buck made them for him, enjoying the small, adorable gesture Buck made for him every time there was a bit of scrap paper lying in his immediate vicinity.

Tonight was a slow night at the firehouse, though no one dared utter the fated Q word, for fear of invoking another jinx or curse or whatever they wanted to call it. Eddie wasn’t complaining, instead, he was taking the opportunity to enjoy uninterrupted time with Buck. They worked the same shift, but every day other than today they had been spread thin and barely had time to speak as they passed each other, let alone spend any real time together. So tonight he was just enjoying his boyfriend’s company. Eddie was scrolling mindlessly on his phone and Buck had kicked on his boots and was lounging on the couch, feet tucked under Eddie’s thigh.

It was perfect and cozy and everything he had been missing all week. He didn’t even notice that Buck had somehow gathered some scrap paper and was currently making the most intricate ring in his collection. It wasn’t until Buck nudged him with his foot that Eddie turned his attention to him.

It was dark in the loft, lights dim since everyone else was in the bunk room taking advantage of the Q word night. He could still tell what Buck was holding out to him. A blue and white paper ring, with at least two braids and something that resembled a diamond.

“You have outdone yourself on this one Buck,” he chuckled, taking the ring and sliding it onto his finger.

“I’ve been working on it for the last half hour”, Buck said, only sounding a little bit proud of himself.

“It’s beautiful baby,” he praised. “But where did you find all of this paper.”

“I might have snagged the scraps from Chris’s art project this afternoon.”

Their son had stopped by after school with Carla and Buck and Ravi had spent the better part of an hour assisting him with his art assignment.

“You’re precious,” Eddie pulled him up to kiss him softly. “I love you, Evan Buckley.”

“I love you too, Eddie Diaz.”

Eddie didn’t really notice the rings anymore. They had become such a staple he’d almost gotten used to the scratchy feel of the paper on his skin. Sometimes he even forgot to take them off, until he was sitting in the truck on his way to a high-risk call and slipped it into his pocket to keep it safe from the flames or just before he slipped into the shower, storing it someplace safe to keep the paper from disintegrating under the spray.

He’d become so used to the familiar feeling that he’d forgotten to take the latest one-off.

The newest addition to his paper ring collection had come from lunch with Buck that day.

He’d managed to slip away from his shift early, due to a very Q-word day at the station. He’d called Buck, who was hanging out at home up to his eyebrows in laundry, and asked him to meet him at a diner down the street from the station. Buck had slid into the booth across from him twenty minutes later, blue eyes bright, smile plastered to his pretty face.

“Hi babe,” he said cheerfully, leaning across the table to kiss him.

“Hey, you. You’re awfully chipper for someone who’s been folding my socks all day.”

“Just glad I got to see you earlier than expected.”

“I’m glad I got to see you too,” Eddie smiled and reached across the table to take his hand. “I ordered you an iced tea and those chips you like. That okay?”

“That’s perfect.”

He told Buck stories from their calls today, a kid who locked himself in the bathroom and his dad giving himself a broken wrist trying to take down the door was his favorite until their drinks and appetizer arrived.

Buck didn’t even hide this time. As soon as the straw was unwrapped, he was twisting the straw into a ring for Eddie.

“Here ya go,” Buck grinned, sliding the ring onto his hand.

“Ya know baby, I’m starting to get convinced you’re gonna propose to me with a ring made out of paper.”

“Maybe,” he winked.

When they arrived home, the house was still quiet. Christopher was at school for another two hours and even though there was still a mountain of laundry waiting for them in the living room, he lured Buck to bed.

They were laying together, sweaty and sated, his hand running through Buck’s curls when he caught a glimpse of the paper still on his hand. It was crumpled from their activities but still mostly intact. He slipped it off and held it in front of Buck’s face.

“You kept this on the whole time?” Buck chuckled.

“I kind of forgot about it. I’ve just gotten used to them now. It’s comfortable, having it on.”

Buck grabbed his hand and kissed his finger where the ring had been sitting, “One day I’m gonna put a real ring on your hand.”

Eddie thought of the text he’d gotten from the jeweler earlier that day, telling him that Buck’s ring was ready and waiting for him to pick up.

Not if I beat you to it.

He hadn’t really meant to tell May about his plans for proposing. He wasn’t hiding it from his friends and family, but May hadn’t been the first person he thought of. However, she had a habit of seeing right through him. He wasn’t supposed to even see her before the dinner they had planned at Bobby and Athena’s place, but Buck had asked him to stop by dispatch on his way home and grab something he’d left in Maddie’s apartment a few nights ago when he’d gone over to have drinks with his sister.

Maddie had been on a call when he walked in, so Josh had sent him to wait for her in the break room, telling him he’d send her his way when she was done. He was settled at the table on his phone, grinning uncontrollably at a picture Buck had sent him of himself and Chris at the school carnival the night before, when May came in, two cups of coffee in her hand.

“Hey Eddie, what are you doing here? You’re not leaving the 118 again right?”

“No definitely not,” he laughed. “Buck and Bobby would be having a race to see who could kill me first.”

“Good.”

“I’m just here to see Maddie really quick. Buck left something at her house the other night.”

“Why did your face just do that?”

“Do what?”

“The thing it just did?”

“What thing May?”

“Your face did a weird thing when you said Buck’s name. And you were grinning like an idiot when I came in here. So I ask again, what’s going on with your face?”

“Okay look,” he turned his chair to face her completely. “If I tell you, you have to promise me you won’t rat me out. No one knows yet but,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring box. “I’m gonna ask Buck to marry me tonight at the party.”

“Oh my God Eddie!”

“Shh,” he smacked her arm lightly. “Keep your voice down. I only told your mom and

Bobby but no one else. Maddie can’t find out because she’ll blab to Buck and ruin the surprise.”

“My lips are sealed,” she said resolutely, making a show of zipping her finger across her mouth. “The ring is amazing by the way.”

“I just picked it up this morning. I hope he likes it.”

He tilts the box, letting the light glint off of the band. It was relatively simple, smooth black titanium with a small stripe of gold through the middle. The meaningful part was on the inside, carefully engraved in Eddie’s own handwriting I’ve got your back, and his initials scratched next to it.

“He’s gonna love it. But what are all of those pieces of paper in the box?”

“Oh those,” he lifted one, straightening it out so May could see the real shape. “After you made us listen to that insufferable Taylor Swift song all last summer, Buck started making me rings out of straw wrappers every time we went out. I saved them all and I just thought it would be cute.”

“That's adorable,” she sighed. “And that song is good, you love it don’t even try to lie to me.”

“Whatever you say.”

He snapped the box shut and tucked it safely back into his pocket, moments before Maddie entered the room.

“Hey Eddie, sorry to keep you waiting,” she handed him the green thing she’d had slung across her shoulder. “Here’s Buck’s sweater, I washed it for him and everything.”

“Thanks, Maddie. I better get home, he’s probably getting impatient wondering where I am.”

“Have a good day Eddie. I’ll see you tonight.”

“See ya. Bye May.”

“Bye Eddie.”

He, Buck, and Chris spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the house and getting around to the chores that they’d slacked on during the week. With an hour until the start of the party, Buck sent Christopher off to get himself ready with instructions to yell if he needed anything, and herded Eddie into their room to get ready themselves.

Eddie stood behind Buck, wrapping his arms around his waist and pressing a soft kiss to the back of his head as Buck stood in front of their closet, trying to decide what to wear.

“Wear this,” he said, reaching around to pull the newly returned green sweater off the hanger. He turned Buck around and held it up to his chest. “It does good things for your eyes.”

Buck blushed and slipped it over his head, tucking the front ever so slightly into his jeans. Eddie pulled out his own black button-down and rolled up the sleeves, distracting Buck with his perfect arm as he sat on the bed and attempted to focus on tying his shoes. One entirely too short make-out session (interrupted only by their son yelling that they were going to be late) later, they were parking their truck outside of Bobby and Athena’s house.

Eddie felt like the ring was burning a hole in his pocket as he sat through an hour of drinks and small talk before dinner. When everyone’s plates were clear and they were lounging around the table letting their food settle before they indulged in dessert, Eddie raised an eyebrow at Athena from across the room.

Is it time?

She gave him a slight nod, barely noticeable to those around them.

It’s time.

He cleared his throat and stood up, catching everyone’s attention, including his soon-to-be fiance.

“Buck can you come here please,” he asked holding out a hand.

Buck stood and pressed into his side, letting Eddie wrap a gentle arm around his waist.

“I think I can speak for both of us when I say that Buck and I are so thankful for the love and support you’ve given us over the past few years. I know it wasn’t easy, especially when we had our heads in the sand-”

“Amen!” Chimney shouted, glaring at Maddie and Hen when they elbowed him in the sides.

“But,” he resumed with a chuckle. “We got there in the end. Y’all are family, so it only felt right to do this here.”

He pulled away from Buck, fishing the ring from his pocket and dropping to one knee.

“Evan Buckley,” he ignored the squeals around them, focusing only on his favorite pair of eyes. “Will you marry me?”

“Yes,” he choked out with a sob.

He stood and pulled Buck into a fierce kiss, one rivaled only by the day they got their heads screwed on right and finally made it official. Their family was clapping and cheering, Ravi and Albert whistling at them.

When Buck finally pulled away, Eddie took his hand and slipped the ring on his finger. He looked down at it, moving his wrist to see it from all angles.

“It’s beautiful Eddie. But what’s all this paper?” he asked, plucking one from the box still cradled in Eddie’s hand.

“What do you think?”

He watched Buck study it for a minute before the realization dawned.

“These are all the paper rings I gave you. You saved them?”

“I saved them all Evan.”

“I love you so damn much,” Buck hugged him, tears returning at full force and wetting the collar of his shirt.

“I love you more Evan Buckley.”

“It’s gonna be Evan Diaz soon.”

“Damn right.”

Somewhere off to the side, there was the soft sound of a phone connecting to the speaker and after a moment of silence, the opening sounds of that damn Taylor Swift song.

“May!” they shouted in unison.

The only response was her laugh. He hated the stupid song, but he still dragged Buck out into the yard for the worst dance ever, totally absorbed by his fiance. They let May have her moment. Besides, the song was just too damn perfect.

Sometimes its common that some films comes out without my knowledge, particularly non-Hollywood English language films. This British film was about a wealthy couple from the New York, especially the husband who tries his best to fulfill his seriously ill wife’s dream to be an opera singer. The problem is she’s not any good. Not just him, but everybody who is close to them and once laughed at her, try to understand them and give their support. But not all the occasion seems to remain the same. So on one such a big event, the disaster strikes and how it affects the couple is the rest of the tale to disclose. A very surprising film. I thought it was just a comedy like it brings small smiles on our face, but I laughed out loud on many occasions. This is definitely a right time, because I felt like it was a music and cinematic version of the American presidential candidate Don Trump. Yep, there not much difference, but still this ...

Devastated || 7. Suspicion

Paring: (Christopher "Sully" Sullivan x Original Female Character Mance!)

Word Count: 1944

Warnings: slight language, mentions death

Last: Honestly | Next: Preposition

Danny and Henry go to start the generator while Shea, Trish, and Katherine go to the kitchen. "I say we go to get a boat and get the hell out of here." Sully tells the others.

"I'm in." Chloe jumps up.

"I don't feel bad if something happens to you guys. You deserve it." Jennifer tells them as they start to leave.

"Jennifer," Sully sighs.

"Fuck you." She flips him off.

After Danny and Henry successfully jump-start the Inn's generator, they were confused to see Jennifer alone, "They left while Shea, Trish, and Katherine are in the kitchen." She tells them.

Henry goes to the Marina to stop everyone from leaving, and he tells Danny to shoot anyone he doesn't recognize while he stays with the girls.

"You okay?" Danny asks Jennifer.

"Of course not. And I'm pissed off at the others. How could you live with the fact that you could be responsible for killing a little girl? Sully gets mad at Malcolm for leaving Booth, but he leaves Madison to die."

"He's scared." Danny sighs.

"We're all scared. Do you think the person Cal found in the furnace could be Malcolm?" She asks him.

"Do you think that?"

"He's missing, and I'm 100% sure he didn't run off with the money. He felt terrible after coming clean. He probably wanted to get rid of the money. What better way than burning it?" Jennifer tells him what she thinks.

"That is a possibility." He agrees with her, thinking about what if she was right.

After an hour, Sully and Beth come back, "You were willing to let my daughter die. Anyone leaves the island, Madison dies! That's what we were told. And you tried to leave." Shea yells at Sully.

"We came back, all right? It doesn't matter."

"You don't know that! Nobody knows anything!" She yells at him more.

"Where's Henry?" Trish asks.

"We found JD. He's been killed." Sully tells her.

"Well, I-I thought he was in jail." Danny speaks up.

"He was at the Marina. Henry's taken his body to the clinic with everyone else."

"So if somebody killed JD, then does that mean he didn't kill my dad?" Trish asked as tires were screeching and loud music was playing outside.

"What the hell?" Danny asks.

"That's fucking Shane." Jennifer rushes to go out.

"Jennifer!" Sully yells for her, so he and Danny rush to go outside with her.

They watch her open the truck to see no one, so she turns off the truck just for Shane to point his gun at them.

"Put your gun down." She tells him.

"Tell your friend to drop his, or I'll have to wash him off my truck." He tells her, so Sully looks at Danny to put his down.

"What do you want?" Jennifer sighs, "Because now isn't the time with everything going on."

"I'm looking for JD."

"JD's dead, Shane." She tells him.

"Don't lie to me. I saw him escape from jail earlier today."

"Well, he would have been better off if he'd stayed cause someone sliced him open down a the Marina." Sully tells him.

"It's true. JD's dead. We shouldn't be out here, man." Danny speaks up, so Shane wants their guns.

"Are you kidding me, Shane? We need protection." Jennifer huffs.

"Give me your gun." He tells Danny, so he cooperates. "Go." He motions for them to go as he points his gun at them.

"Fucking ridiculous." Jennifer takes the lead.

"It's okay." Sully tells the others as they walk in.

"Shut up. It's not okay. Well, well. All right. Everybody move to this side of the room right now." Shane tells everyone.

"Shane put down the gun." Trish tells him.

"Well, you didn't say the magic word." Shane says as a gun cocks.

"Please." Henry puts his gun to the back of Shane's head, so Sully and Danny take the guns back.

Henry says the state police will be there tomorrow, so Shea says they need a plan to find Madison, but they had to wait to be safe.

"You still mad at me?" Sully asks, standing alone with Jennifer.

"Yes,"

"I know it was wrong." He tells her, "When the others felt bad about leaving, I started to too at the last second. Then I remembered I was leaving you too." He adds.

"Good thing to know." She looks out the window to see Abby and Jimmy.

They follow Jimmy and Abby to Henry. She states that her father will probably be fine and then asks about the papers Jimmy gave him. Abby places the pages in the journal, stating that they match, and begins reading.

"That's Wakefield's journal?" Jennifer looks at Jimmy, who nods his head.

"Still the same handwriting." She turns away.

"My... My... my mom, when she was younger, sh... had an affair with Wakefield." She shoes the other, and Jennifer looks at the book.

Sarah had my child

"They had a child together?" Trish says.

"Abby, this doesn't mean anything." Henry tells her.

"Abby, you don't know what..." Jimmy starts.

"She had a child with him. I could be John Wakefield's daughter." Abby tells them.

"If it turns out true... Welcome to the team." Jennifer sighs.

"What?" Trish looks at her.

"When I was ten, I found out my mom had an affair. Since being here, I found out my real dad is Wakefield." She explains to her.

"A few of the burnt pages mention Jennifer and her mother. How she kept Jennifer from him and said, he'll never meet her." Abby speaks up.

"Well, if it's not you, he was talking about... we have another sibling somewhere." Jennifer huffs, leaving, so Abby follows her.

"Look, it doesn't mean anything." Jimmy tells Abby, and they see Shane talking to the others' whispering, so they look over at the three.

Sully gives Jennifer a look to follow him, so she does, and they go to talk alone, "Abby's Wakefield's kid too?"

"We don't know if that's for sure. Just that her mom had an affair with him, too, like mine. There could be a whole other kid somewhere." Jennifer tells him.

"Shane is set that it's yours and her fault."

"Of course he does." She tears up.

"Don't cry. I don't blame you. Remember, we already had this conversation." He pulls her into a hug.

"You don't, but you can't speak for the others." She looks up at him, so he kisses her forehead.

"Come on." He holds her hand, joining Danny and Beth, going to the kitchen.

"What does Shane mean? You and Abby are Wakefield's kids?" Danny asks Jennifer.

"We aren't sure if Abby really is, but I am. I know that for sure." Jennifer tells him.

"I don't think you or Abby are involved in this." Beth tells her.

"Thanks," Jennifer tells her.

"You son of a bitch!" They hear Henry shout so they go see what's up.

"Hey, don't shoot the messenger, man. It's not like I'm Rosemary's baby. Look, you want to blame somebody, blame them." Shane tells him.

"Hey, you don't get to talk about Jennifer or Abby."

"Really? What about the journal that says Abby's mom got knocked up by Wakefield. And says Jennifer is his daughter? Can I talk about that?" Shane adds.

"Shut up, Shane." Jimmy speaks up.

"What? Seven years, everything's cool on this island. Abby and Jennifer show up, people start dying like flies. You do the math."

"That's enough." Henry shouts.

"It's kinda weird, but we don't know anything." Sully speaks up, so Jennifer slaps him.

"Why are you defending them? Your brother's dead. You, your dad, your friends. I lost Kelly. They all connect to them." Abby leaves the room, so Jennifer follows her.

"We don't know if it's true about Abby." Jimmy tells Shane.

"You're sister is Wakefield's daughter. That was confirmed." Shane tells him.

"Yeah, she is, but she's still my sister, and I know my sister. She didn't even want to come back here, but she only did for Henry. You dated her for years, Shane. You know what type of person she is. She's not capable of being involved in these murders." Jimmy tells him.

"Her father doesn't determine what type of person she is. She had no clue who her real dad was until like a day ago. She told me, and I told her she's not him." Sully speaks up to add while Jimmy goes to look for the girls.

Jimmy finds Abby looking over Wakefield's diary while Jennifer watches her. Abby tells him that they are at the center of the murders, and Jimmy vows to protect them. When they attempt to return, Shane had locked them out, stating that Jimmy can come in, but not the girls. Henry begins a fight with Shane, forcing Danny and Sully to break it up.

When Sully realizes Beth was missing, Henry let's the three in and follows them to the kitchen, where there was a trail of blood. Henry leads Sully, Danny, Jimmy, Jennifer, and Abby into the tunnels. At an intersection in the tunnels, the blood goes in both directions, and Abby suggests they split into two groups.

"I would kill to know whose doing the killings. It's gotta be someone close to you and Abby. Because it started when we got here." Sully says as he, Jennifer, and Danny go down their path.

"I don't believe Wakefield is dead because of my letters still." She tells him.

"Letters?" Danny asks.

"Yeah, they were saying they were my dad. Then I saw Wakefield's handwriting, and it was the same as the letters. So Sully thinks someone just did some digging and copied his handwriting." Jennifer tells him.

The three spot a pool of blood on the mouth of a crawlspace in their section of the tunnel, "Where do you think that goes?" Danny asks.

"Probably someplace even worse than here." Sully answers, "What is that?" Sully looks at the space. "There is no way I'm going in there."

"Hold my gun." Jennifer tells them.

"What? No. You aren't going in there." Sully tells her.

"Yes, I am."

"No, I'll go." Danny says, so Jennifer already starts to crawl through.

"You see anything?" Sully asks, worried about her.

"More blood." She thinks the worse. "Guys, there's another tunnel." She shouts to them.

"Jen, be careful." Danny tells her.

As she looks down the other tunnel, she sees the top half of Beth, causing her to scream and crawl backwards to get out.

"What? What is it?" Sully asks.

"It's Beth!" She screams at them.

"Dead?!" Danny asks.

"YES!" She crawls faster, and once she was close enough, they grab her legs, pulling her out. She clings to Sully as they ask her what she saw. "Half... She was in half. Her bottom half wasn't there." Her voice shakes.

"We need to go." Danny says, handing Jennifer her gun so they leave in a rush running into Henry and Jimmy.

"Where's Abby?" Jennifer asks behind Sully.

"A gate came down and separated us. We need to get some tools to get her out." Henry tells them.

"We, uh... we found Beth." Sully tells him.

"How'd it- What happened?"

"He cut her up. Stuffed her in a crawl space." Danny tells him.

Everyone meets up with Shane, asking him for the tools in his truck. Shane admits that his tools are in the truck but that Trish stole the truck earlier.

Henry finds some bolt cutters when he hears the truck returning. He runs to the kitchen window and sees that Abby is with Trish. He drops the bolt cutters before leading everyone outside.

Buck & Eddie: Legal Guardianship Timeline

Before and After Eddie changed his will and After the reveal

Buck & Christopher Before Eddie changed his will

Season 2

2x2 “7.1” Eddie showed Buck a picture of Christopher and Buck said, “Super adorable. I love kids”.

2x3 “Help is Not Coming” Buck drove Eddie to pick up Christopher from school and Buck looked at them like he wanted to be included in their family.

2x4 “Stuck” Buck met Pepa after she called Eddie to tell him Isabel broke her hip. Buck told Pepa, “It must be rough.” And Pepa responded, “Raising any child alone is rough. My nephew is a saint but I pray for him anyway”.

Eddie explained to Bobby that he didn’t have anywhere to take Christopher until his aunt got off work and Bobby said, “Sure you did, right here. Buck gave me a heads up I already cleared it with the chief”.

Buck contacted Carla, a home healthcare aide and introduced her to Eddie.

2x10 “Merry X-Mas” Eddie and Buck took Christopher to see Santa Klaus and Buck told Eddie “I really admire that kid. I love how he wants to do everything on his own”.

2x18 “This Life We Choose” Buck looked at Christopher with a proud dad smile as he walked towards Eddie to give Eddie his helmet.

Season 3

3x1 “Kids Today” During Buck’s welcome back to the 118 party, Christopher gave Buck a card he made for him and he told Buck that was a picture of the two of them on the front of the card.

Eddie took Christopher to Buck’s loft to cheer him up because he was depressed about not being able to go back to work. When Buck asked why Christopher was there, Eddie said, “He’s hanging out with his Buck today because I have to go to work”. Buck asked where Carla was and Christopher said she was in Morongo. Eddie told Buck to take Christopher out, have some fun and he would learn something. After Eddie left, Buck asked Christopher, “So what do you like to do for fun?”

3x1 “Kids Today” - 3x2 “Sink or Swim” Buck took Christopher to the pier and they played games and rode some of the rides. While they were sitting on a bench talking, Buck asked Christopher what he wanted to be when he grew up and Christopher replied, “An astronaut or a pirate” then Buck said, “Those are some good choices. Cool outfits too”. Then Christopher said, “No wait, a firefighter”. Buck replied, “Yeah, me too”.

3x2 “Sink or Swim” Buck told Christopher that he hoped he could find something he loved to do if the career paths he chose didn’t work out because if he did, he would find something he loved and that mattered which would show him the rest of his life. Christopher said, “You’re going to be ok kid” and touched Buck’s chin. Buck looked over his shoulder and noticed all the water was gone and Christopher asked, “Where did all the water go?” Buck picked up Christopher and told everyone to run. He put him in a booth and then jumped in with him as the Tsunami waves crashed into the pier and submerged everything under water.

Buck was submerged in the water but after he emerged, he started calling for Christopher. Christopher responded while he was holding onto a pole and Buck told him to stay there but after he tried to reach him, he missed. Christopher told Buck, “I can’t hold on” and Buck went under water and swam to save Christopher.

Eddie had no idea Christopher and Buck were caught in the Tsunami the entire time they were down there. He showed Hen and Chimney a selfie Buck took of him and Christopher while they were having breakfast. After Buck saved Christopher, he put him on top of the 136’s ladder truck and Buck pulled himself on top of the truck too. Buck said, “You good Chris?” and Christopher said, “Yep. I took surfing lessons” and Buck replied, “Well maybe you could teach me”.

Buck rescued several people and brought them to the ladder truck and while they all waited to be rescued, Buck spent time talking to, playing games with and caring for Christopher. Buck told him, “You amaze me buddy” and Christopher asked “Why?” Buck explained how he got some bad news about his job and how he didn’t want to get out of bed because of it. He then said, “But you, after the day you’ve had, here you are with a big smile and busting a gut. You never gave up. Even when that water came rushing over you back there you just kept on swimming”. Christopher said, “Like Dory?” Buck said, “Like Dory. Not just today but every day. You never say no, you never complain. How do you do that?” Christopher explained how it didn’t work the one time he complained and after Buck asked him what he did, he said he kept on swimming.

Christopher fell off the ladder truck while Buck was trying to help other people when the Tsunami waves started to recede. Buck jumped off the truck while calling for Christopher so that he could search for him.

3x3 “The Searchers” Buck spent the rest of the day and well into the nighttime searching for Christopher. When he made it to the VA, he saw Eddie but he was scared to tell him what happened. Eddie saw him first then Buck told Eddie what happened and while they were talking a woman appeared carrying Christopher. She asked Eddie, “Are you Buck?” and he said, “No, I’m his father Eddie”. She then said, “He was looking for Buck” and Eddie looked at her. He and Buck had a silent conversation while the 118 asked Buck what happened to him. Buck collapsed after he saw that Christopher was safe.

Eddie took Christopher back to Buck’s loft so that he could care for him again while Eddie went to work. Buck told Eddie that he failed them because he lost Christopher but Eddie told him that he saved Christopher and that’s how Christopher remembered it. Eddie told Buck, “There’s nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you” after he explained how he knew Buck loved Christopher enough to never stop trying just like he does. He then told Buck to take Christopher to the zoo that day because it was located inland.

3x5 “Rage” Eddie yelled at Buck in the grocery store because the lawsuit Buck filed prevented them from being able to talk to each other. Eddie said, “Do you know how much Christopher misses you? How could you, you’re not around”. Buck replied, “I didn’t realize that. Maybe I could come and visit Christopher, the lawsuit doesn’t prevent that”.

3x9 “Fallout” Buck apologized to Eddie for not being there for Eddie and Christopher when they needed him. He said, “I’m sorry I wasn’t there Eddie. You and Chris needed me and I had my head so far up my own behind with that stupid lawsuit”. After they were done talking, Eddie, Buck and Christopher played video games and Eddie said, “This is my kind of therapy”.

3x10 “Christmas Spirit” Eddie looked at Buck with heart eyes as he watched Buck build gingerbread houses with Christopher and Denny. Then Christopher asked Buck, “Can I spend Christmas with you?”

Buck worked with Athena to organize the Christmas party at the firehouse so that Eddie and Christopher could spend the holiday together.

3x11 “Seize the Day” Eddie told Chimney about the family he chose while Buck and Christopher horse played on the couch. Buck told Maddie, “This is Eddie’s house I’m not really a guest”.

3x12 “Fools” Buck and Eddie discussed Christopher’s skateboarding incident and they built him an adaptable one. Buck and Eddie helped Christopher ride the skateboard at the park.

3x15 “Eddie Begins” Eddie got trapped in The Well, Buck screamed, cried and tried to dig him up with his bare hands. Eddie’s flashbacks included a lot of Christopher and Buck.

Eddie changed his will after The Well and named Buck to be Christopher’s legal guardian but he didn’t tell anyone.

Buck & Christopher After Eddie changed his will

3x18 “What’s Next?” Buck stressed over Christopher going to summer camp for two weeks. Eddie said, “It’s only two weeks” and Buck said, “Woah! Two weeks away from home? What if he gets homesick?” Buck, Eddie and Christopher along with the rest of the 118 attended May’s graduation party.

Season 4

4x3 “Future Tense” Buck and Christopher played video games while Eddie stressed out over Hildy’s technological advancements. Christopher asked Buck if they could go to his house and play video games while Eddie gave Buck the ‘you’re supposed to back me up face’. Afterwards Buck and Christopher pranked Eddie with a Hildy coffeemaker.

4x8 “Breaking Point” Eddie told Christopher he started dating again but Christopher got upset, ran away and took an Uber to Buck’s loft. Buck and Christopher talked and Buck promised Christopher that he wasn’t going anywhere.

4x10 “Parenthood” Buck and Eddie said “No!” in unison when Chimney asked a victim’s parents if they both could be good cops. Buck said children shouldn’t be on the receiving end of too much discipline and Eddie said, “I’d like to know what your idea of too much discipline is.”

4x13 “Suspicion” Eddie got shot by a sniper and Buck saved his life. In 4x14 “Survivors” Buck went to talk to Christopher about Eddie and he cried after he received Bobby’s text message that Eddie had made it through surgery. Christopher said, “It’s going to be ok Buck” and they cried and consoled each other.

Buck stayed at Eddie’s house with Christopher and took care of him.

After Eddie woke up from his coma, Buck called Christopher on Facetime so that Eddie could talk to him and after the call ended, Eddie asked Buck how Christopher was doing and Buck said, “Better than me. I kind of lost it when I told him you got shot. I’m sorry, I know I should have kept it together”. Eddie replied, “You were there for him when I couldn’t be and that’s what matters”. Buck then said, “Still. I think it would have been better for him if I was the one who got shot”.

One year later and Eddie finally told Buck about the change he made to his will

Before Eddie was discharged from the hospital, he told Buck about the change he made to his will. He told him, “No one will ever fight for my son as hard as you and that’s what I want for him”. When Buck asked Eddie why he waited a year to tell him about it, Eddie said, “Because Evan, you came in here the other day and said it would have been better if it were you who had been shot. You act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong”.

Buck & Christopher After the reveal

Season 5

5x2 “Desperate Times” Christopher and Ana visited the firehouse to bring Eddie three types of salads. Eddie picked up and hugged Christopher then walked him down past the firetruck. Buck and Ravi joined them but Buck picked up and hugged Christopher the exact same way Eddie had done a few seconds earlier. While enroute to a call, Eddie told the 118 that Buck takes Christopher to the zoo all the time and that he had the whole place memorized.

5x3 “Desperate Measures” Buck asked Eddie if he told Christopher he was coming home. Eddie broke up with Ana once he made it home.

5x6 “Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1” Buck and Eddie were held hostage by two escaped convicts, Mitchell and Dom. Mitchell threatened Buck, Eddie and Christopher’s lives and after he read off Eddie’s home address from his driver’s license, Buck stepped up and he got whacked over the head with the butt of Dom’s gun for it. After they arrived at the hospital, Mitchell said he would shoot Buck, Eddie and then go to Eddie’s house and shoot Christopher. Eddie said, “Buck!” so that Buck would exit the ambulance.

5x10 “Wrapped in Red” Buck and Eddie had a conversation about Christopher’s nightmares.

5x11 “Outside Looking In” Buck, Eddie, Christopher and Taylor had dinner at Eddie’s house. During dinner, Christopher and Buck joked about Eddie’s cooking because he had just learned how to cook.

5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” Christopher called Buck after he heard Eddie smashing the furniture in his room. Buck rushed over and when he arrived, he asked Christopher “Are you ok?’ and Christopher said, “He won’t come out. I keep calling him but he won’t answer”. After Buck broke down Eddie’s bedroom door, he talked with Eddie then put Christopher to bed. He met Eddie in the dining room so that they could continue talking.

5x14 “Dumb Luck” Buck took Christopher to school while Bobby stayed at Eddie’s house so that he wouldn’t wake up alone. Buck took care of Christopher while Eddie was at therapy. Buck and Christopher drew hearts while Eddie was gone but the heart Buck drew was a Valentine’s Day type of heart that he drew specifically for Eddie.

Buck took Eddie and Christopher to Equine Therapy so that Christopher could work with and ride the horses while Buck helped Eddie realize their jobs as firefighters were worth it.

5x17 “Hero Complex” Buck and Eddie had a conversation, while inside of Christopher’s bedroom, about Eddie and Christopher going to El Paso for Eddie’s dad’s retirement party.

After Buck stepped into Eddie’s and Christopher’s lives in 2x4 “Stuck”, Buck and Eddie started building The Buckley-Diaz Family. Buck started co-parenting Christopher with Eddie not long after they became work partners and Buck assumed that role before Eddie’s estranged wife returned in 2x7 “Haunted”. He was still in that role in 2x10 “Merry X-mas” when he told Eddie how much he admired Christopher and that’s also when one of Santa’s elves told Buck he and Eddie had an adorable son. Buck had been in the role of co-parent for almost two years before Eddie changed his will and his relationship with Christopher got stronger. In 3x1 “Kids Today” Eddie told Buck he might learn something while he spent the day with Christopher and he was right because Buck did learn something. Buck and Christopher were already close but the Tsunami strengthened their relationship even more because they learned a lot from each other while they sat together on the firetruck waiting to be rescued. Buck learned how to never give up from Christopher and Buck told Christopher that he amazed him. Christopher witnessed Buck being a hero as he saved more than 20 people after the Tsunami hit and he reminded Buck of the way he saved them all before the water started to recede.

After Eddie survived being trapped in The Well, he updated his will and named Buck to be Christopher’s legal guardian but he didn’t tell Buck about it until after he got shot one year later. Buck was already acting as Christopher’s co-parent and Christopher viewed Buck as a father figure even before the will reveal. Christopher turning to Buck in 4x3 “Future Tense” and asking him if they could go to his house to play video games provides an example of how Christopher views Buck like he is his dad. Also Christopher running away to Buck’s loft in 4x8 “Breaking Point” proved how much Christopher trusts Buck and how he wants Buck to be there for him when he can’t go to Eddie. Eddie probably wasn’t planning to tell Buck about his will but when Buck said it would have been better for Christopher if he had been shot instead of Eddie, that’s what prompted Eddie to tell him about it. Buck was acting in the role of Christopher’s legal guardian after Eddie got shot by staying with him at Eddie’s house and that happened before Eddie revealed the change he made to his will. The update Eddie made to his will simply legalized everything that was already happening (read blog posts: “Buck & Eddie: The Will & Legal Guardianship” and “Buck & Eddie: Christopher Diaz has 2 dads” for more information on Eddie’s will and how Buck and Eddie identically parent Christopher). Buck loves Christopher just like Eddie does and he will do anything for him. He dropped everything when Christopher called him in 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia” and rushed over to Eddie’s house. Not only did Buck take care of Christopher, he took care of Eddie too. When Buck planned to take Eddie to Equine Therapy, he made sure it would be advantageous for both Eddie and Christopher. He loves Christopher and he literally put his own life in danger during the Tsunami to save him. He plays games with Christopher and he helps Eddie make decisions about activities like skateboarding that Christopher wants to participate in. Buck’s role in Christopher’s life is practically that of a second father.

Was Eddie planning for something more permanent and long-term when he included Buck in his will? Will Buck and Eddie become a CANON couple in season 6 so that Eddie’s will could be replaced with a marriage license and a set of adoption papers? Only the showrunners, writers and producers know the answer to that question.

Word Count // 1.5k

Prompt // Hi! Can i request a fic where you were with Buck & Christopher when the tsunami hit? They could be dating or crushing on each other. If nothing comes to mind, then it’s completely fine to ignore this request! Have a nice day!’

Author’s Note // This is Part 1 of the Washed Away series. || Part 2 || Part 3

It was a beautiful day at the pier. Crowded, yet beautiful. Carnival music was playing in every direction. The smell of funnel cakes, cotton candy, and popcorn wafted through the air. There was laughing, screaming, and merriment everywhere you looked.

You had to give Evan Buckley credit. He sure knew how to pick a good first date spot.

Okay, so maybe date was pushing it a little bit. You have known the guy for a while now, but that’s mostly because of Christopher. You are the nurse at Christopher’s school. It’s how you met Buck. When Christopher is ill, or perhaps has an incident where he needs to go home, sometimes Buck picks him up. He was, after all, one of the few people Eddie Diaz trusted around his son. Since Buck quit the LAFD and Eddie was working constantly to pick up the extra work, Christopher was often in Evan Buckley’s care.

And my goodness, what a charmer Evan Buckley turned out to be.

Buck and Christopher finished riding Shark Frenzy, a ride that reminded you of the teacups at Disney World. They met up with you at a blue picnic table, where you had cotton candy ready for the boys.

Buck took the blue one. “B for Buck, B for blue.”

Christopher took the pink one and dived right into it, giggling and enjoying himself.

“Mmm,” Christopher said with a satisfying smile. Pink floss was stuck to his fingers, but he paid no mind to it.

“Good?” Buck asked, and the little boy nodded. Buck went to snatch a piece, but Christopher pulled back with a laugh. It was kind of adorable to see.

“Where to next?” you asked as you looked around. In every direction, there were amusement park rides everywhere.

“Let’s take a break and play some games,” Buck said as he flashed you a charming smile.

The three of you cleaned up the table, with Buck tossing everything in the trash. You were on one side of Christopher and Buck was on the other, with the little boy using his crutches in between. Slowly, the three of you made your way to the arcade row on the pier. Games were lined up one right after another and Christopher pointed to a water gun shooting game.

“I want to play that,” he said, and Buck complied to his wishes.

You insisted on paying for a round or two, with Buck being out of a job and all, but the handsome ex-firefighter swatted your hand away and plopped two dollars on the table.

“Two rounds,” Buck told the person in charge.

“You are so stubborn,” you retorted as you pocketed your money.

Buck only smiled and sat down. He pulled Christopher into his lap and together, they began round one.

Christopher held the trigger and Buck controlled the aiming. The object of the game was to shoot a stream of water at a small target which will raise a platform. The first person whose platform reaches the top wins.

Together, they were invested. Honestly, you were watching from the sidelines and you thought for sure they had some kind of strategy planned out beforehand.

“I am so proud of you right now, I cannot be more proud of you. Come on, we’re so close! So close!” Buck was telling Christopher as their little platform was rising more and more with each passing second. Christopher was smiling the entire time, and when the bell rang, both boys acted like it was the greatest moment of their lives. They screamed and cheered, and celebrated their win.

“You did it! Come on, high five!” Buck said as he held his hand out.

Christopher slapped it as hard as he could, and Buck over-exaggerated the little boy’s strength and flailed backwards.

However, the sound of a siren interrupted the fun and games and Buck immediately turned. He was looking past you, over your shoulder. Slowly, he stood up, his eyes never leaving what was happening behind you. Curiosity got the better of you and you turned to see what the man was looking at.

“And we have a winner!” the man running the water gun booth said in the background, handing a giant brown teddy bear to Christopher.

But the two of you paid no mind to that as an ambulance rolled up through the crowd.

A person in some kind of dinosaur costume collapsed. Buck was inching closer to the scene, and you grabbed him by the arm to hold him in place. He looked down at your hand, which was around his bicep and his eyes traced your arm up to you.

“The paramedics got this,” you whispered to him and he nodded, looking defeated and a bit sad.

It broke your heart.

At school, when Christopher would see you, he would always go on and on about Buck and firefighting. Buck had such a passion for his job and to not have it at the moment must be soul-crushing.

“Buck!” Christopher said behind the two of you, “Buck!”

The paramedics shocked their patient with an AED and you could feel Buck exhale. He was holding his breath the entire time. You pulled him back and he turned to face you with a forced smile. While he would never admit it, he was so grateful you were there.

“Come on, you two. Let’s go sit down and take a break,” you said as you handed Christopher his crutches and abandoning the second round of the water gun game. The three of you found an empty bench at the edge of the pier and sat down. Christopher wanted to look out at the ocean, so Buck picked him up and helped him stand on the bench. Gripping the back of Christopher’s shirt tightly so that the boy doesn’t fall in, Buck sat down, and you sat next to him. There was silence for a little bit and you looked over at Buck, who seemed deep in thought.

“Ever think about what you wanna do with your life?” Buck asked, “What you want to be when you grow up?”

“Astronaut or a pirate,” Christopher answered instantly. It was like he didn’t even need to think about it.

Buck nodded in agreement. “Some good choices. Cool outfits too.”

“No wait,” Christopher said with a smile, “a firefighter.”

Of course, it made sense. His father was a firefighter and Buck used to be one. Growing up in that field and being around that environment made such an impression on Christopher.

Buck only chuckled and nodded a little to accept Christopher’s answer. He clenched his jaw, wanting to clearly move on from the topic. “What about you, Y/N? Was nursing what you always wanted to do?”

You turned to look at him, a little confused by the question. No one ever asked you that before. Everyone just assumed nursing was your passion, considering the overwhelming amount of schooling you need to become one.

“Yes,” you said with a nod, “I like helping others.”

Buck grinned and turned his head to look at you. He knew all about helping others. It was one of the many reasons the two of you relate so well with each other. Slowly, his hand was creeping off to the side, getting closer and closer to yours without trying to seem obvious. You didn’t even realize until his pinky finger was brushing the back of your hand.

“Yeah, me too.” Buck’s pinky linked through your own and you could swear that your heart fluttered as he touched you. Could it be? Did Evan Buckley have a little crush on you? Did you have a crush on Evan Buckley? Was this really happening?

He was gazing into your eyes and…wait a minute, was he leaning in? Should you lean in too? Not going to lie, you wanted to. And… there goes your head, getting closer and closer to his.

But he stopped. He looked alarmed, shocked even, and turned his head to look out at the ocean. You slumped back with a slight pout, knowing it was too good to be true. It was stupid to have a little crush on Buck.

The ex-firefighter was gripping onto Christopher’s shirt tightly as he stood up, your pinkies unlocking, and you could tell instantly that something was very wrong. You stood up too and looked at Buck.

He held onto Christopher as a crowd of people were gathering behind you, watching was well. Everyone seemed to stop in their tracks and stare at the ocean.

“What’s wrong?” you asked as you followed his line of sight out to the ocean.

But the answer was right there in front of you. The water had pulled back drastically.

“Where did all the water go?” Christopher asked, looking confused.

Panic was slowly rising inside of you as you stood next to Buck. You felt his hand slip into yours, holding your fingers tightly in a grip. You clung back onto him with your other hand wrapping around his arm tightly.

A warning siren blasted through the loudspeakers in place of the fun carnival music.

A giant wave was rolling back, taking in as much water as it could possibly carry. Your panic turned into fear as you saw the wave approach the shore. A massive tsunami was about to hit and you, along with Buck and Christopher, were trapped on the pier.

Rising to the Challenge

Written for @911fluffweek : Day 7 - Free choice.

All my love to the wonderful @alilypea for beta-reading this for me and to @noxsoulmate who provided the original prompts. Go read their fics!

Pairing: Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley/Eddie Diaz

Rating: T

Word Count: 894

Summary: Maddie dares Buck to kiss someone in the bar for $20....

Can also be read on A03.

*****

"So let me get this right," Buck said, looking back and forth between Maddie and Chim. "You are daring me, a measly $20, to randomly kiss someone in this bar?" The whole team was at their favourite karaoke bar near the station, and Maddie wasn’t letting up on her attempt to set Buck up with someone.

Maddie nodded eagerly while Chim was looking a tad queasy, feeling unsettled at his girlfriend's eagerness to set up her brother. "And an extra $20 if they kiss you back." She added, doubling down on the original dare, waving the two bills in her hand. Chim groaned audibly at the latest addition, hunching down in his seat as if he was trying to disappear into the booth itself.

Buck glanced around the room, grinning as his eyes settled on Eddie. He slowly made his way over to his boyfriend, trying not to laugh at the easy money he was about to make. "Hey there, handsome," Buck said with a grin, obviously checking out his partner from head to toe.

Eddie shifted uneasily, not used to this sort of attention from Buck in public, but couldn't help but feel a bit flattered as well. He let out a small smile as Buck moved closer, placing a hand on Eddie's waist.

Glancing up at his boyfriend, the noise of the bar - including the hoots and cheers from their teammates faded into the background, as Buck leaned down slightly to capture his lips, his tongue sliding in to explore his mouth gently. Eddie couldn't help but to moan into the kiss, reaching his hands up to grip Buck's curly hair and pulling himself flush against Buck as they continued to make out against the bar.

Finally, remembering that they were in the middle of a bar surrounded by their teammates, Buck pulled back reluctantly, letting his forehead rest against Eddie's, trying to catch his breath. "Will you marry me?" The words came tumbling out of Buck's mouth as he gazed into Eddie's eyes. This wasn't how he had planned to propose, but he meant every word of it. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Eddie and with Christopher.

Eddie nodded, finally managing to utter a quiet yes as he leaned in to kiss his boyfriend - wait fiance - again.

XXXXX

After all the cheers, handshakes, and congratulations, Buck and Eddie made their way back over, hand in hand, to where Maddie and Chimney were sitting.

Expecting more congratulations and likely some hugs, Buck was surprised when Maddie stood up and punched him lightly in the shoulder instead. “I’ve spent all this time wondering and worrying about you. You didn’t think of me once?” Maddie said, waving her arms around in frustration.

“Uh, sorry?” Buck said, exchanging confused looks with Chimney and Eddie. Chimney gave a slight shrug of his shoulders to indicate that he had no idea what Maddie was going on about.

“You should have told me that you were dating Eddie!” Maddie exclaimed, punching him again in the same shoulder, a bit harder this time.

“Maddie, Maddie, could you please avoid hitting my boyfriend?” Eddie asked, stepping in front of Buck, his arms up as if he was confronting a frightened animal.

“Fiance,” both Buckley siblings corrected, looking at each other and then bursting out laughing. Maddie finally calmed down enough to smother both Eddie and Buck in huge hugs, with Chimney repeating her actions right after.

The four of them sat down as Maddie motioned for another pitcher of beer for the table. Buck reached out his hand for his money, but Maddie simply shoved a mug of beer in his hand instead. “No money for you, cheater,” she replied, handing the extra money to their waiter as a tip instead.

“What’s this about money?” Eddie asked, a confused look on his face as he glanced back and forth between Maddie and Buck.

“Boy do I have a story to fill you in on,” Chimney said with a grin, ignoring the threatening glares he was receiving from both Buckleys. As he started to explain the bet, Eddie’s grin only got wider until he started laughing out loud.

“So you mean I have Maddie to thank for a marriage proposal?” Eddie finally choked out, still laughing hard.

“Hey, no, no! That was all me,” Buck said, pointing at his chest. “It wasn’t how I planned on asking, but that was all my idea,” Buck confessed, wanting to make it clear to his partner that the proposal was absolutely not Maddie’s idea. At that point, Chimney was able to pull Maddie away from the two, feeling like they needed a bit more privacy for this conversation.

Once they were on their own, Eddie reached across the table and grabbed both of Buck’s hands. “So you’ve been thinking about proposing….” Eddie asked, not really elaborating further.

“Since the first day I met you,” Buck confessed, blushing a deep shade of red that only got darker as Eddie pulled him into a passionate kiss that promised much more later. Not willing to wait any longer, Buck broke the kiss, grabbing Eddie’s arm and pulling him out of the bar, barely remembering to wave bye to their team on their way out. It was time to show Eddie just how much he loved him but in private this time around.

HI, IT'S ME! YOUR LOCAL CHAOTIC WEIRDO!!!!! I'M BACK AGAIN LIKE I AM TWICE EVERY WEEK

IT'S MY BOY DAVID THIS TIME! WHY AM I SO HYPER! MAYBE BECAUSE THEY KISSED! AND I HAD TO SUPPRESS MY SCREAMS BCAUSE IM IN CLASS AND THE REST OF MY FAMILY IS OUTSIDE MY DOOR (NOT LITERALLY OFC)

OK OK OK OK OK OK

MAX AND DAVID ARE AT THE LONDON INSTITUTE YESYESYESYES

He rather liked that part in a story – when the hero fell, and everything seemed bleak. It always meant that hope was just around the corner. Because darkness never lasted. It was always followed by light. There was nothing more beautiful than that kind of sunrise.

THIS

I literally live my life by this analogy

AHHH DAVID IS ON HIS TRAVEL YEAR AND MAX IS WITH HIM

SCREAM

well i can't scream because my mom is sitting right there and I have class in 4 minutes so imma smile really wide

“Are you planning to read the entire library during your travel year?” Max chuckled.

“Of course not,” David replied. “I will need longer than a year to accomplish that goal.”

Me.

Wait

does max not being able to make portals have something to do with his lineage?

demon parent

ok so my programming class started 2 minutes early but screw programming I'm gonna be studying minds not this shit

ok that's a very bad attitude for someone who needs good grades in this year

Max was always hungry.

this is so me

KIT

THEY MENTIONED TY

also if David doesn't become an institute head in the future THEN WHAT'S THE POINT

“Where is the kitchen?” Max interrupted.

max is such a mood

He had told Max that he had centuries to perfect his magic, that there was no need to rush it. Max had given him a noncommittal nod and nothing more.

HE'S GONNA MAKE THE BEST PORTALS YOU'LL SEE

“I won’t tell the Consul,” Kit winked.

At the mention of the Consul, David straightened up. He had been trying to get into Alec Lightwood’s good graces for years now. He didn’t think sharing a room with his son would do him any favors.

DAVID UDUCDFUHKDUHVUHSDH

PLEASE IF WE DON'T GET A CUTE ALEC AND DAVID SCENE SOON

KIT CALLED TESSA MOM

oh my god

Word was that Mr. Herondale had gone back to his obsession with brewing tea.

JACE

I have so many emotions right now but all I'm gonna say is that I'm so so proud of Rafael

“Do you not want to sleep with me?” Max asked.

UH-

WELL-

DAVID STOP THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND ALL THE SHIT

STOP IT

OH MY GOD THE ONE BED TROPE

MAX IS IN HIS ARMS I'M ABOUT TO-

takes a deep breath don't scream. everyone outside this door thinks you're taking programming class

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY

AWW JULIAN PAINTED PORTRAITS FOR THE INSTITUTE

The one of Will Herondale and Tessa Gray – A love that had transcended reality and lasted a lifetime.

The one of James Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs – A love that had started with a lie and then blossomed into nothing but happiness and devotion.

The one of Lucie Herondale and Jesse Blackthorn – A love that had been so powerful that it rewrote the past.

The one of Jace Herondale and Clary Fairchild – A love that had walked through hell and shaken up the heavens.

And then there the final one. The one of Kit Herondale and Tiberius Blackthorn – A love that had survived distance and darkness and doom.

This omg...

He wanted a love story. The kind he read in the books. The kind he saw in these portraits.

But he wasn’t a Herondale. He wasn’t sure if he was destined for that kind of love.

HEY

DON'T THINK LIKE THAT

The first part though

same

He might have been a little too excited. It was biologically impossible to control yourself when you find a stranger reading your favorite book in the whole world.

SO TRUE

“I see you already made a new friend,” Max said.

He sounded a little…odd. As if he was not pleased that David had made a new friend.

honey...

take a guess

can I jump in and bash their heads together?

“You are thinking of conjuring chocolate syrup, aren’t you?” David chuckled.

“How do you always know what’s on my mind?” Max chuckled back.

Because I know you, David wanted to say. I just wish I knew what’s in your heart too.

OH MY GOD I CANT WITH THIS

“You get chocolate syrup! You get chocolate syrup! You get chocolate syrup!” Max was yelling, standing on the chair.

They residents laughed harder, and David shook his head fondly. He hoped one day Max would pursue a career in theatre. He was a born showman.

can I have chocolate syrup?

also, the way David is just so fond of him like DYUSDGYJCDYUJM

“By the angel, do you have to be a drama queen about everything?” the boy next to them muttered – not so quietly.

David blinked. That was uncalled for.

But Max being Max was completely unfazed. “Of course I do. My Bapa would be personally offended otherwise.”

exactly you rude little shit

Max often pretended like people’s words didn’t hurt him - just as he pretend that fire doesn’t burn or wounds don’t bleed.

wow ok stop calling me out

Is max jealous??????

is he??????

how are people so good at languages like damn

“Oh my god,” Max groaned. “Is he already telling people to check on me?”

LMAO

using mundane medicine...

that's risky

but it's also something that WILL help

can't warlocks tamper with the blood samples?

A part of him wondered if that’s why he had agreed to send Max away to London – at least for a week. Because sometimes you didn’t want other people to see you were hurting.

alec I really goddamn hope you're dealing with this well

some of whom had even decided to die than get help from a warlock.

alright then gets my knives but you chose this :D

Nobody brought a book down for breakfast if they didn't like to read.

yes but sometimes also to seem busy so people won't bother you or you won't look alone.

“I know,” the boy said as he walked past them to the gate. “I sat on the stairs and thought about life for a few good minutes.”

his family is the one who took over David's previous institute (i can't spell that. marse- marselli- wat??) methinks.

The gang always visited whenever all of them were in the city together. They would have so much fun! Of course, the 'fun' mostly entailed Rafael stopping Georgia from drinking random potions she found in the stalls, Selena stopping Lexi from opening a psychic booth to help people talk to Raziel and of course David stopping Max from running to the gambling booths.

LMAO, I CANT WITH THIS-

Rafe: I am anxiety.

me at any given moment

EW TESTICLES HE'S EATING THOSE-

ok maybe I'm the only person who's really picky when it comes to food and doesn't eat the majority of things

“Anything on Magnus Bane?” Max asked.

“No,” the woman snapped and shoved some of the letters into a bag and hide it under the table. “Leave Magnus Bane alone!”

“Appreciate your loyalty,” Max winked at her and started examining a diary.

I like her.

"Everyone should be participating in this" -my programming teacher

me, an intellectual: participating in what?? goes to the class web THE FUCK IS THAT

“Something for the shadowhunter?” the woman smiled. “Perhaps an unpublished snippet from the Beautiful Cordelia?”

“Do you have any love letters?” David asked.

“Hmmm,” the woman went through the pages. “I do have a correspondence between an Iblis demon and Christopher Lightwood? Would you be interested in that?”

if u don't mind I would love to see both of those-

you know I just remembered I have a computer assignment I need to submit by the end of this week fml

“Never fall in love with an immortal,” she giggled again. “We don’t like staying in one place.”

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

MAX WHERE ARE YOU

why are we using x and 3 in programming class what the heck is going on

“I’m not just some warlock,” Max said, his voice low. “I’m Magnus Bane’s son.”

GIVE HIM THAT NECKLACE BACK

we usually have programming once a week on our physical school days and those are fun because my and my friend are continuously passing notes and talking to each other through writing

The scene where Max fought off all the evil people who tried to steal his valuable belonging. He would fight without breaking a sweat and throw magic fireballs at everyone and then get his necklace back. And then he would kiss David in front of everyone and it would somehow rain all of a sudden.

But life wasn’t a movie or a book. Life was just life.

life's boring

fuck life

I just heard a student ask "why are we not taking out the values of b and c" BESTIE I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING PROGRAMMING AND NOT ALGEBRA?????

“I know there wasn’t anyone to protect you before,” Magnus Bane had said. “But we are here now. We will protect you. This will protect you.”

He hadn’t wanted it back then. He didn't even want it even now.

He didn’t want something to protect him. Most importantly, he didn’t want to cover his scar. He didn’t want to hide it. He wasn’t ashamed of it. It wasn’t a mark of a victim. It was the mark of a survivor.

So, David had smiled and given the bracelet back.

“I never wanted to be protected,” David had replied. “I only ever wanted to be loved.”

The warlock had smiled at that and given David a hug. It had felt different than other hugs he had experienced since he had come to New York.

It wasn’t just the magic. Magnus Bane carried so much love inside himself you could literally feel it through him.

I'm gonna cry during my programming class (where we're doing variables apparently all of a sudden??)

this is so beautiful

“I wasn’t talking about Bapa,” Max said now. “I was talking about the other one.”

David chuckled at that. “Oh, yeah. He is definitely going to kill you.”

what flowers would you like at your funeral?

so Jackson has family troubles

I've definitely got that

yeah I know what it's like to be jealous of someone else's perfect family

JACKSON WTF

Is he trying to ruin max's relationship with his family???

oh hell no

JACKSON THE AUDACITY

“One stolen necklace, One broken nose and One bruised cheek,” he said. “And you’ve been in London for less than a day.”

kit seriously? but is he wrong though?

“This is what I get for falling for a Lightwood-Bane,” David sighed and walked through the portal.

WELL AT LEAST HE'S SELF AWARE

Jackson...

in some ways, I can empathize with him. my younger self anyway. but Jackson this is not how you do things

There was a moment of silence and then Magnus Bane giggled.

“I do love it when the quiet ones go feral,” the warlock grinned.

MAGNUS

NOT.THE.TIME

(me too)

“David!” Mr Herondale gasped. “Is your hand okay?”

yup that's Jace y'all

David hated violence. He hated fighting – which he was often not allowed to say out loud considering he was a shadowhunter.

But it was the truth. He hated hurting people – or even things. It made him feel sick.

“It’s alright, Chouchou,” Mr Herondale ran a hand through David’s hair. “Next time, just-”

“Use my words?” David asked.

“Just don’t get caught,” the man winked.

and that is why I would never want to be a shadowhunter.

I know saying that doesn't do anything but when I first read tsc I wanted to be a shadowhunter really badly and damn that was some time ago but now...violence of any kind is my biggest trigger idek why. and I hate that so much because what kind of a person gets triggered by loud voices and fighting EVEN ON SCREEN??? I usually just push myself to watch stuff because it's dumb. I refuse to see trigger warnings before reading a book or watching a show because damn it, I should be able to stand those things I'm, not a child. and it may be doing me more harm than good but I shouldn't feel like this in the first place

okay...that was long

ANYWAY

“David, I appreciate you standing up for Max,” the Consul said. “But next time, please try not to punch anyone in the face.”

“Yes, sir,” David nodded. “Because it’s wrong.”

“Because it means more paperwork for me,” the Consul groaned and then straightened up. “But yes. Absolutely. Very wrong. No punching people!”

LMAO ALEC

Jackson...

I was wrong then

He was grinning. Magnus Bane must have raised hell in the shadow market.

that must have been fun

Max was doing that thing where he was not trying to pout but he was mostly definitely pouting. It made David want to kiss him. But then the Consul spoke, and David reminded himself he didn’t want to be the third person to get punched in the face this evening.

well-

“I understand that Jackson has been through a lot. But that’s not an excuse for him to hurt those around him. I learned that lesson the hard way. So, you shouldn’t excuse his behaviour.”

someone's trauma and pain is never an excuse to hurt others

but that doesn't mean we should invalidate their trauma either

“You can stay back and try to help him. I won’t stop you,” the man got up now. “But if he tries to hurt you-”

“You will unleash hell?” David chuckled.

“Worse,” the other man grinned. “I will unleash Lexi.”

that is much much worse

Books brought him comfort in so many ways. Just holding one in his hands automatically made him feel better.

oh my god

he gets it

I always have a book with me when I'm out even if I'm not gonna get the time to read it because just the weight and comfort of it in my hands or in my backpack brings me so much comfort and helps with my social anxiety so much

no one understands when I try to tell them that

you get it...

someone gets it finally

AYYY IRENE

“David, it’s very sweet that you want to protect Jackson,” Kit pointed out. “But literally no one is buying that. Not even Irene.”

The lynx purred on his lap as if she agreed with Kit.

“I could break into a liquor cabinet,” David said a little indignantly.

David is the nicest you can get

David wouldn’t. Apparently, everyone already seemed to know that - even the lynx he had met five minutes ago.

we are solving something in class and it's really quiet because we're all doing our work (I'm reading the fic so-) and this one person had their mic open and they kept on whispering their steps and it was so weird I cant-

BUT YES DAVID IS A CINNAMON ROLL. EVEN THE LYNX KNOWS

“We were talking about shitty fathers,” Jackson pointed out. “You’re welcome to stay.”

“I’m gonna need something stronger than red wine for this conversation,” Kit chuckled.

I remember that bitch

David used to do it when he was a child. He used to pretend his life was a story. He used to pretend everything that happened to him was happening to some other boy – a boy who wasn’t real. A boy who lived inside a book. Because it hurt a little less when you pretend like it wasn’t happening to you.

But the pain was still very real.

OK YOU CAN STOP CALLING ME OUT NOW

“I fucking hate ogres,” he said through gritted teeth.

“Was your father an ogre too?” Jackson asked.

“He was more like a harpy,” Kit snorted. “He was always flying and fleeing. I didn’t know how deep his talons were in my head until it was too late.”

you really like traumatizing all your characters, don't you?

I really fucking hope the ogre got what he deserved

and if the angel is dead then fuck everyone

“I mean, there was that time when Sebastian Morgenstern turned my father into the endarkened, and then he went around killing people. So, I would say he was more like a zombie,” the man was explaining now. “The zombie father tried to kill me but my brother killed him first.”

“Good lord!” Jackson said in shock.

Kit chuckled softly. “Boy do shadowhunters need therapy.”

they really do

He knew about those from New York. He knew Mr Herondale and Miss Fairchild went for one together.

YES GET THEM THERAPY

“Yikes,” Kit chuckled. “I’d prefer something classier. How about London Boys?”

“None of us are from London though,” Tiberius pointed out.

“The Beatles are not actually beetles, Ty,” Kit chuckled. “It’s just for pizazz.”

damn guys

Then the idea of a band turned into a possible YouTube channel where they would react to cute animal videos.

YS DO IT

“When people do awful things, really awful things, at one point we stop being surprised. Like what Valentine did to his children or what our fathers did to us or what those women did to Rafael. We might have been shocked or disgusted. But it wasn’t unrealistic, was it?”

“I guess not,” the boy said.

“Even when they did the most unimaginable acts of cruelty, it somehow managed to fit into our imagination. We accepted that the world can be unrealistically cruel. The kind of cruelty we will never understand. But why isn’t it the same for kindness? Why is that when someone is too kind, we automatically feel uncomfortable? We judge their intensions or think they are just pretending to be nice. We think they are being unrealistic. Why is that?”

we get so used to cruelty that kindness feels weird

“But that’s how our life works, doesn’t it? It’s a giant ball of what ifs and could have beens and if nots. What if my father had loved me instead of hurt me? Could I have been kinder if I was hugged instead of being abused? Would have I been a different person if not for my trauma? Our lives are an endless collection of theories about our real selves. The one didn’t we never had the chance to become.”

THIS

I used to spend a bunch of time on the what-ifs but those are useless. so screw the what-ifs and live in the present

“I guess we’ll never know, Jackson. None of us will never know how we would have turned out if things had been different for us. We never got the chance to be who were meant to be. Instead, we became who we had to become to survive what we went through. We will never know our true selves. We only know the version of us that made it through all the trauma.”

“Christ, that’s depressing,” Jackson said.

“It is,” David nodded. “But we made it through. We survived. I think we should focus on that.”

you survived. that's what matters

“There is nothing wrong with wanting to be rescued,” David smiled.

I wish I had heard this before...

maybe I don't always have to be strong. maybe it's ok sometimes just want to be saved.

I'm so happy that both Jackson and David found each other

David had learned Gaelic. Jackson had learned how to play the piano.

They had laughed and lived and loved and learned.

And they had survived – one day at a time. The London Boys.

they survived.

I know I'm always key smashing and screaming but these words, these lines, all these chapters mean so so much to me.

“You’ll write to me, won’t you?” David asked, hugging Jackson closely.

“No,” Jackson replied. “I will FaceTime you like a normal person, you weirdo!”

David laughed at that. “I prefer letters. They are more emotional.”

“I’ll text you,” Jackson countered. “With emojis.”

oh to have someone write me letters.

I love writing letters

once at the end of a school year, I wrote little letters to everyone in my class anonymously. even the people who had been mean to me. that was like 1-2 years after my transfer to that school and everyone practically hated me but I wanted to do something nice because who knows what someone is going through. I ended up not putting them in people's desks...

I threw them all away :)

but writing letters is superior

I often write my feelings down and give the letter to someone rather than talk to someone

if you receive a letter from me or a custom-made gift...you have reached my ultimate friendship

oh my god. THIS IS HOW I SHOULD TALK TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS ABOUT MY FEELINGS

It's kind of been a mess between us and I want to talk to her but I didn't know how to.

this is why i shouldn't send asks-

JACKSON CATCHING UP ON MAX AND DAVID

“You know what it means,” Jackson grinned harder. “Also, if that wanker tries to break your heart, I will break his face.”

“You know he is the Consul’s son?” David giggled.

“I’ve done it once and I will do it again,” Jackson shrugged. “He better treat you right.”

"wanker"

I HAVE A BRITISH ONLINE FRIEND AND THEY CALLED OUR AMERICAN ONLINE FRIEND A WANKER

AND OUR OTHER BRITISH FRIEND JOINED IN

WHILE ALL THE NON-BRITISH PEOPLE WERE LIKE "huh"

Lexi had cut her hair even shorter. Her girlfriend apparently got something called an undercut.

“Just in case someone dared to assume we were straight,” she had winked at him.

how many years has this fake dating been going on...

CENTURION SELENA

fterA the twins went to bed, David stepped out of the institute and went looking for his heart.

"went looking for his heart"

OH FUCK I FORGOT TO JOIN MY CLASS

MAX STOP DEPLETING YOUR SELF GODDAMN

And then somewhere along the way, Max’s heartbeat had become the steadiest thing in David’s life.

Max, with all his chaos and drama and danger, had become the steadiest thing in David’s life.

oh my god that's a parallel from canon

“Tell me why.”

“Ain't nothing but a heart break!!"

Max-

Max could make fireballs that killed demons on the spot. He could summon things from anywhere. He could heal people with his eyes closed. He was one of the youngest warlocks allowed to visit the spiral labyrinth.

Max was a warlock in every sense. A good one. A great one even.

he is so talented...

Only idiots would underestimate Magnus Bane’s power.

EXACTLY

He is probably going to be Consul like next week.”

David chuckled. “Next week?”

next week????

“Yeah, his smoking habits,” Max rolled his eyes.

Rafael wasn’t the smoker in the family. He knew who it was, but David would never open his mouth. It wasn’t his secret to tell.

this keeps on getting better

“It’s my hair!” David laughed.

“And you’re my David!” Max argued. “I say you are not allowed to grow your hair.”

MY DAVID

“I don’t want to downworld-splain it to you.”

Max blinked and then laughed. “You don’t want to what?”

“Downworld-splain,” David mumbled. “It’s when shadowhunters explain downworlders how to be downworlders.”

they were SO close to kissing

I'm gonna get in there and lock them in a closet together and tell them to FUCKING GET WITH IT

Remember who you are. Remember where you stand.

remember who you are. remember where you stand...

I know this is supposed to be about portals.

OH MY GOD THEY KISSED

THEY KISSED

IM SO CLOSE TO SCREAMING CLASS AND EVERYONE OUTSIDE THIS ROOM BE DAMNED

OH MY GOD DAVID FELL

reminds me of when alec fell down the stairs-

OH MY GOD I'M GONNA SCREAM

WE'RE GONNA GET MORE MAVID CONTENT SOON I'M SCREAMING INTERNALLY UYDRVFY7VSDU7UYVFSDUYGCADUYIGJCDSHJKGDVCSUGISDVHVF

ok, I have a computer assignment to get to and tests to study for. BUT I LOVED THIS CHAPTER SO SO MUCH!! THEY FINALLY KISSED I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!

Also I know I tend to go off track and you can totally ignore that. i just go crazy. BYEE

This live blog gives me so much life you don't even know. I am go glad you enjoyed the chapter. I love hearing you rant about it. It's refreshing lol.

And I looooooove the lil anecdotes you share in between. Also wtf is a programming class like nobody wants to learn programme what kind of hetero nonsense I-

FINISH YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AND STUDY FOR YOUR TESTS I'LL SEE YOU SOON :)

Chapter Notes: Here is the real end of this story.

Read from the beginning on AO3.

Chapter 3

Eddie waits a few days before talking to Buck about his recovery. He doesn't want him to feel like he's being ganged up on, knowing that both Maddie and Bobby spoke to Buck about it the day of his shield ceremony.

Buck convinces Eddie to take him to the gym to lift some weights. He won't start proper physical therapy until after the cast comes off (after the next surgery) but he wants to keep up his upper body strength. Especially since he now needs it to get himself around on the crutches.

After the workout, Eddie takes them to their favorite diner for burgers and milkshakes.

"Trying to undo all my hard work," Buck teases as they slide into a booth, Buck sitting sideways so that he can prop up his cast.

"Trying to keep you from collapsing after expending so much energy," Eddie counters. "I can't carry you if you pass out."

"Oh, I bet you could if properly motivated," Buck teases, unconsciously licking his bottom lip.

Eddie bites back a groan at the image of Buck's legs wrapped around him as he carries him to his bed. Having Buck living with him during his recovery has been the best kind of torture. He knows that Buck flirts with everyone, but it's hard not to wish it was intentional.

He clears his throat and picks up a menu, needing something to do with his hands - and to avoid looking at Buck. "Perhaps."

Buck laughs as he glances over his own menu. They've eaten here enough that they both know what they're going to order, but at least this lets the waitress know they're ready to order when they set them back down.

After giving their order, Eddie decides that now is as good a time as any.

"The pre-op appointment with your surgeon is next week, right?" he asks, trying to keep his voice neutral.

Buck perks up. "Yeah, on Monday. If all goes well, the surgery will be on Wednesday. You got that day off, right?"

"I did," Eddie hesitantly says. "For your pre-op appointment, too." He shifts nervously. "I'd like to come to that appointment with you, if it's okay with you."

Buck frowns. "Yeah, sure. It'll be pretty boring for you, but you can come if you want. Maddie's gonna be there, too."

Eddie swallows. "I figured. Since we're the ones who will be taking care of you, it makes sense for us to hear what the doctor has to say in person."

"You don't trust me to tell you what he says?"

"No, it's not that at all. I just, we just, want to make sure that this surgery is really necessary."

Buck's face crumples. "You've been talking about me behind my back?"

Eddie reaches across the table to capture Buck's hand before he can fully withdraw into himself. "It's only because we care about you and are worried that you're pushing yourself too hard."

"I have to," Buck says with so much conviction in his voice that it scares Eddie. "I have to get back to work."

"Yes, but you don't need to put so much extra strain on your body to do so. You will recover and you will come back to work. No one doubts that. Except for you."

Eddie suddenly wishes they weren't at a booth so that he could sit next to Buck. He wants to grab the other man's face and force him to meet his eyes. But he can't get close enough to Buck right now. Not with his leg resting on the seat, effectively keeping Eddie at a distance.

"You're going to get used to me not being there," Buck says. "You'll get someone else from B or C shift to fill in on the team and you won't need me."

The food arrives then, but instead of starting to eat, Eddie slides out of the booth.

"Eddie, what are you doing?" Buck asks, laughing as Eddie stretches awkwardly with one foot on the ground and the other knee on the booth, his hip resting against the table as he leans towards Buck.

"I need you to understand when I tell you this," Eddie says, grasping Buck's face with his hands and forcing him to meet his eyes. "I will always need you. You are my partner. I will not trust anyone on or off the job as much as I trust you. I need you to slow down and do your recovery right because I need you back and I do not want you to risk injuring yourself more with unnecessary surgery that will keep you from watching my back for one minute longer than absolutely necessary."

"But don't you see, I can be back there, watching your back, that much faster with the surgery," Buck says.

"You don't know that," Eddie counters.

"I can't let them replace me," Buck whines. "I can't lose our team. I can't lose you."

"You're never going to lose me," Eddie says with such certainty that Buck's breath catches. "You are my partner, no matter what. At work and at home."

"You don't mean that," Buck says, unable to accept what he hopes Eddie is really saying. "Not the way I want you to." Not after Eddie just lost his wife.

Uncaring that they are in the middle of a busy diner, Eddie leans forward and kisses Buck. The kiss is short, but full of love.

"I mean it," Eddie promises. He brushes his lips against Buck's again quickly before withdrawing to his side of the booth.

Buck is left staring at him in awe as Eddie picks up his burger and takes a large bite.

Eddie licks a stray bit of ketchup from the corner of his mouth before saying, "You don't want that getting cold."

Buck blinks at him before looking down and is almost surprised to see the burger sitting in front of him. He silently picks it up and begins eating, suddenly ravenous. Although not just for the food on the table.

"We're not done talking about this," Buck mumbles around his food.

"No, we're not," Eddie agrees. "We'll see what the doctor has to say and you, Maddie, and I will discuss this together before any final decisions are made."

"If…If I have the surgery, does that mean you won't want to kiss me anymore?" Buck nervously asks.

Eddie sighs, not wanting to appear to be withholding affection in order to get Buck to do what he wants. "No, I always want to kiss you. That won't change because you do or do not have more surgery."

"Good, because I want more of that," Buck says, taking an obscenely long slurp of his milkshake through the straw. "And hopefully more than just kisses?"

"We can, um, talk to the doctor about that, too," Eddie says. "Without Maddie in the room."

Buck laughs. "Yeah, that would be my preference as well."

Eddie knows they have a lot more to discuss, especially with this new development in their relationship, but he also knows that he and Buck will get through all of it. Together.

The End

(for real this time)
