EDDIE I SCREAMED WHAT

[daniwib]

Love this!

eddie diaz | boom clap the sound of my heart

[chronicowboy]

there's just something. i've talked about the way eddie opens the door for buck so many times. how buck has lingered on the threshold of the diaz house so many times but especially in season 4, always waiting to be invited in. how eddie always checks who it is waiting on the other side whether through the peephole or by opening the backdoor just a smidge, and then upon seeing it's buck, flings the door wide open like. hey, it's you, come in, welcome home! how when his life is crashing and burning around him, he opens the door and just walks away because he knows buck will follow him into this mess without a shadow of a doubt. and now there's this. there's eddie, happy and sweaty and pantsless and vulnerable really when you think about it, but still he holds the door open wide, challenging really if you think about it. hey, buck, hey, look at me, ask me about it, i want to share it with you, i'm finding my joy and i want to share it with you.

BiAsBuck’s ficrec Fraturday

Happy weekend everyone! I'm back with another fortnight of fic that I've read and loved recently. Last week absolutely got my brain spinning and vibrating so fast I couldn't stop to write my post...this week not so much lol. But as always you can find previous rec lists here. Prepare for an onslaught of some of my favourite codas, and spoilers for the season.

16 November 2024

oh, save your life (because you've only got one) by rcdwings is an incredible 8x06 coda in which Eddie dances for joy, answers the door, and has some realisations whilst listening to Buck. Exquisitely written, and so very sensual - Eddie is fully present in his body, heart and mind. (ETA: this fic appears to be removed at the moment, hoping it's temporary *crosses fingers*)

death wish love by @eddiebabygirldiaz a 15k 8x06 coda with an achingly good bittersweet tone, in which Buck and Eddie fall together and Buck does his damnedest not to look too hard at where they might land. Such a compelling and a clever look at the complexities of realising you've been in love with your best friend all this time.

The Billy Boils Breakup Anthem by @sibylsleaves takes a look at 8x05 but reexamining the episode themes to ask what if it had been intended to take place AFTER the break up in the series structure. It works incredibly well, whilst remaining tongue in cheek and keeping the episode's absurdist tone, but giving Buck an opportunity to self reflect on his past relationships.

Clarity by @xylodemon "Sorry." Buck yanks at his belt. "I didn't know it was Tighty-Whities Night at Casa de Diaz until I got here." This is a short but sweet smutty 8x06 coda, with some truly excellent fine tuned banter and dialogue that had me grinning from ear to ear.

meanwhile the world goes on by @cranberrymoons is an 8x06 love letter to getting OUT, going on a run and 'giving each other space to exist and breathe and be.' I love how Eddie gives himself the opportunity to really consider his decisions from a place of embracing what feels good, allowing Buck and Eddie to talk, and to tackle the future together.

making love to someone else by @pairofraggedclaws for those who love mess, a sinfully delicious coda in which Father Brian helps Eddie process his newfound realisations by pulling a Kim and pretending to be Buck.

wanna be your endgame by @absolutelybifurious in which Buck spirals about being Eddie's first after he confessed his love to him, and Maddie has the patience of a saint. This was such a funny and yet emotional take on this conundrum, and Buck was so very Buck about it all.

See you next week for the midseason finale...eek.

[eddiegettingshot]

May I ask you to play in a (sad) sandbox with me for a moment? (This is long forgive me but my Eddie feelings spilleth over)

These 3 lines have rattled around in my head for years, bouncing off each other like they belong together, in conversation with each other. And I think they're finally coming into focus:

...prove to me something is real and I’ll believe it. ...maybe she thought she was missing out on a life she could have had. if she'd been born someone else or made different choices? ever wonder about that? (Not really...) 

...of the things that make you sad, am I one of them?

...being his dad has been the single greatest joy of my life. And that little boy has taught me more about being a man than war ever did.

We know that one of, if not THE, fundamental laws of Eddie Diaz's universe is how much he genuinely loves being a father and his devotion to Christopher. How he has actively, consciously worked to be the parent he didn't have. And he does it joyfully!

And.

Eddie was parentified by age 10. He became a parent at 19. And then he went to war. Far too young, and setting his life on a trajectory, no turning back. I think Eddie has an existential inner conflict about his sense of self, who he is, his happiness. There's part of him that does wonder about "the life he could have had, if he...made different choices." But, if he let's himself consider what could have been, he believes it would require him to want a life where Christopher was never born. Which is anathema to him! Truly, unequivocally! So he simply does not let himself wonder or examine or question. 

It's like he's set up in his own mind this dichotomy: he can only ever choose Christopher or himself. Which is no choice at all. Because he will always have Christopher. Eddie's anguished face when Chris said "of the things that make you sad, am I one of them?" has always felt way more complex than Eddie would let us believe. 

Again, I'm not saying that the narrative believes this. I think Eddie believes this. And that's the journey he's on, the reckoning that's coming. The "making peace with his demons and finding self love." Because he doesn't have to choose!!! In fact, Christopher needs Eddie to choose himself! Now, the father Christopher needs is one who loves his full self, who is able to give Chris his full emotional truth — the joy and the pain and the grief (and the queerness) all of it. (The child's birthday party decorations, Eddie clinging to a time when he could be the father Christopher needed without this reckoning.) Christopher has always been Eddie's inspiration and motivation for growth and healing. And he is once again.

I know most people don't get Eddie and aren't able to engage with the complexities. But we can! And this is such a tender topic I tread carefully. But it's where Eddie and Chris are taking us, so let's talk about it?

ok i have been turning this over and over in my head for days (sorry) … But yes. you are so right. i think this is the exact thing that’s difficult to balance with eddie because his parentification is so tied up with his actual parenthood (and marriage… and everything else) that untangling all of that runs the risk of. like. pulling up things he not only isn’t supposed to feel and doesn’t WANT to feel, selfish stuff like desire and wanting to be a kid. like he genuinely doesn’t think he can have any of this… eddieeeee 😭😭😭

[peppermintquartz]

Who did the post about young and openly queer Eddie and S2 Buck competing to pick up guys? Drop your link in the replies, I can't find that post 😅

-

The tall, handsome man in a black shirt leaning against the bar chatting to the bartender catches both their eyes. That jawline is carved from marble, probably, and while he's broad in the shoulder, he's deliciously trim at the waist, and with his shirt opened to the navel, he's showing off a beautifully sculpted torso. And judging by the tightness of his jeans, those thighs would be a joy to have clamped around you.

Buck feels his mouth go dry when Tall Handsome Man tilts his head back to drink a shot , revealing the lines of his neck, and a earring dangles, catching the light. He cocks his head at Eddie Diaz beside him. "Ten says he gives me his number."

"Ten says I get it," Eddie replies.

They've both put on their best outfits for the venue, of course. Eddie has his hair tousled just so, and his sheer shirt glitters in the lights of the club. And when he showed up outside the club to meet Buck, his leather pants left very little to the imagination.

Buck thinks he's not too shabby himself. His curls are left just free enough to garner several interested glances as he passes, and his own ripped black jeans show off his long legs, the rips at the thighs and knees a teaser for his muscles (never skip leg day!) while a single tear under the right back pocket entices with each step he takes. His black mesh top doesn't glitter, but it does show off his chest and allows him to display his arms. More than three try to hold his hand as he and Eddie make their way towards the bar, not that Buck is really counting.

Eddie takes the left of Tall Handsome Man, and Buck takes the right, leaning against the bar and sidling close.

"Hi," Buck says. It's a solid opening, nothing sleazy or funny. Tall Handsome Man is as tall as he is, but close to, he's definitely broader in the shoulder. The earring - two loose chains with a crystal at the ends - dangles, like a lure. Buck wants to take the bait.

"Hey," says the man, his small smile welcoming whatever Buck is about to do, it seems.

Eddie interrupts. "Hey gorgeous. Any chance I could buy you a drink in exchange for giving you my name?"

Tall Handsome Man raises an eyebrow. Damn, is that eyeliner? Buck feels himself getting warm. "I wouldn't say no to you."

"I'm Evan," Buck says quickly, before his prize is stolen away by Eddie's big brown eyes. He smiles when the guy turns to look at him. "It's only polite to tell someone your name if they give it to you, isn't it?"

"It is," the man agrees. His eyes are crinkling up, like he's amused. "I'm-mm!"

Buck realizes he's put his hand over the guy's mouth only after he's done it. Apologetic but keeping his hand there, he says, "Tell me, not him."

"It's a freaking name, Buckley, chill," Eddie says, rolling his eyes.

Handsome Man laughs and his lips move under Buck's palm, like he's just kissed it. Buck feels the back of his neck grow warm, and it grows warmer when the man takes his wrist - holy fuck it's big and strong - and lowers Buck's hand.

Leaning forward to whisper in Buck's ear, he says, "I'm Tommy."

Buck feels a shiver from the top of his spine all the way down. He angles his head so his own lips can touch Tommy's cheek. "Evan Buckley."

"Yeah, I figured that out."

Eddie must have got the drinks, because Tommy is now turning to him and accepting a beer. They clink their drinks and Eddie says, "Edmundo Díaz, but friends call me Eddie."

Tommy smiles languidly. "Eddie it is then. I'm Tommy."

"Hey, you weren't supposed to tell him," Buck protests, taking the chance to press closer.

Tommy grins, the expression making him look younger. "Someone told me it's polite to tell people your name after they told you theirs."

Buck pouts. Tommy laughs and orders a drink for him.

While waiting on the bartender, Eddie reaches a finger out to flick Tommy's dangling earring. "So what do you do for fun, Tommy?"

"Get hit on by two of the most beautiful men I've ever seen," Tommy replies and takes a sip of his beer. "For tonight, at least."

"Oh, you're smooth," Buck marvels.

Eddie chuckles. "If we're not around?"

"I fly for fun. And I practice Muay Thai."

On hearing that, Buck's heart sinks. Eddie does Muay Thai. He watches with growing jealousy while Eddie and Tommy chat, and sips on the drink Tommy's ordered for him.

Then Tommy turns to Buck. "And what about you? What do you do for fun?"

"I, uh, I'm learning to cook," says Buck. And he is, sort of, if observing Cap and taking notes is actually learning. "I've picked up several skills but none of them are, like, hobbies."

"Oh?" Tommy for his part sounds interested. "What kind of skills?"

Is that a chance? Buck adjusts his position so that his arm is pressing against Tommy's. "Bartending, surfing, construction, horse-riding..."

"Am I speaking to a cowboy then?" Tommy asks.

"Well, if you want, I could show you how well I ride," Buck says boldly. It's a terrible line, but sometimes terrible lines delivered with full confidence can be charming. At least that's what some people have told him.

Eddie has large, beautiful eyes, so when he rolls them in disbelief, it's really obvious that he's doing so. "You might as well show up in chaps over a thong, Buckley."

"Shut up, Diaz," Buck retorts, his cheeks flaming, keeping his gaze on Tommy.

It's Tommy's turn to chuckle. "Okay, so are you two boyfriends doing some kinda roleplay or is this some weird competition?"

"We're not dating-" "He's not my boyfriend-"

Tommy holds up a hand. "Well, in that case I'm very flattered. You both are absolutely gorgeous men and, uh, I'm not sure what you're doing with me."

"Easy," says Eddie. He runs a finger along Tommy's forearm. "I wanna dance with you for a bit, get all hot and sweaty and comfortable with each other, get your number, and maybe we go to my place for the night."

"Please, you can't bring him to your home." Buck slides an arm around Tommy's waist and tugs. To his surprise, he ends up pulling himself closer to Tommy, not the other way round. "Your son is probably still up playing video games."

"You have a son?" Tommy asks.

Eddie glares at Buck. "Yes, and he's with his cousins tonight. So my house is empty."

It's Buck's turn to roll his eyes. "For tonight."

Tommy holds up both hands this time, now grinning. "Okay! It really does my ego good to be fought over, but uh, I'm not really looking to go home with either of you. Yet. It's only my second time out here, so, um." His demeanor turns a little shy. "If you guys wanna dance? I mean, I'm open to it, and if you decide after seeing my dancing that I'm not that big a catch, it's fine too."

Buck tightens his hold on Tommy's waist. "You are definitely a catch. Any chance I can snag your number now? So I can call without this guy trying to horn in."

"You're the one trying to upstage me," Eddie argues.

"Boys! Boys, relax. You'll both get my number. Then can we dance? I'm really not used to being the center of attention and, uh, there are lots of eyes this way." Tommy licks his lips, and Buck's gaze immediately locks onto the wet sheen of Tommy's lower lip. He glances away to find Eddie staring hungrily and shamelessly af Tommy's mouth.

Tommy takes a napkin, rips it in two and scribbles his number onto both with a pen borrowed from the bartender. Buck all but snatches it and sticks it into his pocket (it's a tight squeeze but he manages). Eddie folds it and tucks it into a back pocket.

Then Tommy saunters onto the dance floor, whirls around and offers both his hands. Eddie and Buck glare at each other, but they do take Tommy's hands and let themselves be led into a dance for all three of them.

(Next morning has them all wake up at Tommy's in a naked tangle of limbs, and Tommy declares himself the winner of their rivalry.)

9-1-1 Buddie 8x06 coda (major spoilers!)

The spirit of Eddie Diaz possessed me and here this is! V unedited as its almost 4am for me but enjoy!

Also on Ao3

🚒💫

"Did you shave your moustache?"

Its not the first thing Eddie had been expecting Buck to mention, when he'd waited him out to hear what was going on.

But, another part of Eddie sparks just a little. Something saying 'he noticed'.

Eddie shaved his trauma based facial hair, put on a song and danced around like he was a kid again. Like he was stealing the mixtape Adriana's boyfriend made her, blasting it full volume while everyone was at church and he blagged a pulled muscle from baseball practice (he only got away with that because the only thing worse to Ramon Diaz than a son, 'a man of the house' being taken down by a sore leg, was his son ditching the match and embarassing them). He would jump the stairs in twos or sometimes threes in time with the music, slide down the bannister, knee slide across the kitchen floor- playing every song on a loop (ignoring the way his heart flopped in his chest when Adri's boyfriend whispered his dedications between songs).

He'd let loose in his own house this time, joy bursting within him and then his door had been knocked on, his best friend came in, sat beside him and noticed it all.

Or, at least the moustache.

And probably the shirt, underpants and socks look.

Plus he was pretty sure Buck was sitting on the fly swatter air guitar right now.

Eddie grins unabashedly, feeling his smooth upper lip tug.

"Yeah I did, what'd you think?"

He gives his best pout just for-

Buck exhales a laugh, his head ducking with a just there smile.

There it is.

"Suits you- not that uh- not that the whole, what did Chim call it?"

"Magnum"

"Right! Magnum look didn't- but it was kinda getting a bit too similar to Gerrard and that is not a mix up I want to be part of"

Eddie snorts.

"Were you actually worried about accidentally greeting him as me? He'd sure learn a hell of a lot about racoons if you did"

"Hey- racoons are adorable and they're super intelligent!"

Eddie raised his hands in acquiesce.

"I'm not saying anything against racoons Buck, you've pleaded their case already and besides, Christopher-"

He cuts himself off and watches Buck suck in a small breath.

"Christopher loves them too"

It doesn't hurt quite so much. He finds himself smiling again.

"So, the moustache the only thing you noticed?" he sinks further into the couch, shoulder brushing Buck's.

"I figured you'd just put all your other clothes in the wash" Buck gestures up and down at him with a smirk.

He gets an eyeroll in return.

"What about you?" Eddie asks.

The question is light, but Eddie would be lying if he said he wasn't getting curious, watching the way Buck seems to curl back into himself, a halligan settling back across his shoulders.

He lets the silence linger for a moment the way he knows Buck needs.

Finally there's a sigh.

"Tommy broke up with me".

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Ohhhh! Ohhhhh!

So you know how the well call was about Eddie - how Chim was the second character involved (as in went into the well) but the call back was about Chim.

And how the lightning strike was about Buck - how Eddie was the second character involved (as in also up the ladder) but the callback was about Eddie.

How Eddie had to lower Buck to the ground to save him and had to watch on before he could take action - how in the call back buck is the one watching on as Eddie is able to wake up the stunt man who is hanging.

How Chim found his certainty about his family growing in the callback - much like Eddie found certainty about his own family dynamic changing in the well (hello will). How Chim went home and spoke to Maddie - how they had an open and honest conversation after all the miscommunication leading up to it. How Chim and Eddie’s take aways from the well calls were basically positive ones.

How the lightning strike call back is a play on Eddie’s needing to wake himself up. In the same way Buck needed to figure out things for himself in his coma dream, Eddie needs to learn from the lightning strike parallel that he has to be the one to wake himself up.

How Buck will stand at Eddie’s side - silently mourning as he plans to leave in the same way Eddie stood at bucks bedside silently mourning as buck lay in a coma - because there aren’t the words and it’s something each of them had to do alone.

How the callback is foreshadowing Eddie waking himself up - panicking and then worrying about if his sacrifice was worth it (did they get the shot).

How after the lightning strike Buck was looking for himself and ultimately went to Eddie’s for peace - how he was able to be silent (as he slept on the couch) - but how they then had a conversation. How they actually had two conversations (kitchen and graveside) and we had miscommunications in those conversations.

How in the aftermath of the callback Eddie has been looking for himself (risky business dance) and how he ended up in the couch in silence with buck (Eddie being in the same place as buck was in s6 when he went to Eddie’s). How Eddie found a connection with someone outside of the firefam with a unique perspective on the situation (a Brad Natalia parallel was not on my bingo card but here we are) and how that has lead to Eddie’s decision and then a conversation with Buck.

Buddie Hiatus Fic Recs - Month 4 August 16 - Sept 15

I think is my favourite rec list for this little project so far. It has some of my all time favourite Buddie fics on it, fics that I've read over and over again because they just bring me so much joy.

10k-20k

With Great Power Comes Great Pining by Princessfbi / @princessfbi Teen | 10.4k It was the lightning strike. That had to be it. It was the only logical conclusion. Though, when it comes to being able to suddenly read people’s minds, Buck supposed there wasn’t a whole lot of logic involved.

endless numbered days by Daisies_and_Briars / @cal-daisies-and-briars Gen | 13.1k When a big event in the lives of the members of the 118 falls on the same weekend as Bobby's late son's birthday, Bobby finds himself reflecting on grief, fatherhood, and life after loss. 

The Scroll of Saint Barnabas by Amiril / @runawaymarbles Mature | 15k The day of the shooting, Eddie got stuck in a time loop. But that was three months ago. He's completely fine now.

Say Yes, and Figure It Out Afterwards by catwalksalone Explicit | 13.3k Buck and Eddie figure out a mutually beneficial way to deal with the first responder post-trauma cycle of up-horny-down.

Share the Joy by TalkNerdyToMe6 Teen | 14.2k After the lightning strike, Buck discovers he has more than just the ability to do long division in his head. Every time he touches Eddie, everything the other man is feeling moves through him like a wave of emotion, there and gone again. Buck can’t decide if that’s a blessing or a curse.

20k - 30k

light through the wave tips by bvckandeddie (zukkababey) / @bvckandeddie Explicit | 21.9k When Buck and Eddie planned a vacation with their kids over a year ago, they hadn’t exactly planned on bringing a seven-month-old baby along with them. Surely wrangling three kids can't be too much of a challenge—that is, if it weren't for Christopher's steadily worsening mood.

Cutting The Ties That Bind by kristen999 / @thekristen999 Mature | 34.4k Evan Buckley was a businessman, he had meetings and deadlines like everyone else. Sometimes he used intimation. While using the very same tactics he was trying to end while converting his family business into legitimate operations was a little hypocritical, it was the results that mattered.

Occasionally, he got threatened, but it was usually all hot air and ego. That all changed the day his breaks were tampered with. Enter Eddie Diaz, security specialist, who was not easily impressed by Buck’s expensive suits or financial conquests. That was okay. Buck enjoyed a challenge.

30k +

The day felt off from the time you woke up, it was as if you knew something bad was gonna happen before it had to even be told to you. You got up and walked to the kitchen hoping to see Eddie there but he was no where to be found. You summed it up to him already at work or on his way.

As much as you were trying to keep yourself occupied and busy around the house with nothing much to really do , you just couldn’t shake the feeling off.However you quickly went back to cleaning trying not to worry about it however you wanted to keep it in the back of your mind.

It was now around 2 in the afternoon, the breeze blowing slightly through the windows. You decide to call Eddie in hopes that he actually picks up the phone. After 2 rings you hear his voice “Hey my love”

“Hey babe what’s going on with you”you say but there’s a hint of nervousness tracing your tone. You really wanted this weird guy feeling to go away but not enough to ignore it.

“Nothing much I’m here with buck same old same old” You smile at the fact that he’s there with your brother. Those two are two peas in a pod.

“(Y/N) are you okay?” He asks with a hint of worry. Of course he could be the one to know when something is wrong or bothering you. However you didn’t want to even give him the idea that something was wrong.

“Oh of course I’m fine don’t worry about me baby” you say with a chuckle buy it came out like a nervous chuckle to Eddie.

“If you say you but you promise to tell me if there is something wrong right”

“I promise”you say in a soft ensuring voice. You didn’t want Eddie to worry about you too much knowing that he has plenty of other things to worry about as well.

You guys continued conversation for the next 10 minutes until he had to say goodbye.

“Look babe, I gotta go I’ll be home a little earlier than usual tonight” he says.

That’s joy straight to your ears because once he’s home early that means the more time you get to spend with him.

“That’s great Eddie but let me not keep you back I’ll talk to you later, I love you” you say to yourself with a smile.

“I love you too” He says back and you can only imagine the smile he has on his face because he always has it once he says the three words.

The night approached rather quickly and the feeling that you had from earlier was still prefabs was still lingering on her mind. Nothing was gonna get rid of it but the anticipation of something happening was high but you just didn’t know what .

The sound of heavy footsteps and a bag being dropped soon filled your ears and you looked down the hall to see Eddie standing there taking off what he needed to take off. He looked a tad bit tired but more relaxed with these fact that he’s finally home. You walk up to him and wrap your arms around his neck bringing him into your embrace while he wrapped his arms around your lower back. You felt his lips meet your forehead as he gives you a kiss.

He mumbles a quiet ‘I missed you today’ on the top of your forehead. You guys stay there hugged for a minute.

After letting him unpack some of his stuff and getting settled you go back on the couch to find something for you and him to watch.

“Eddie!” You yell out for him hoping he will hear you in your guys shared bedroom

“What do you wanna watch”You raise your voice a little still scrolling through the different Netflix movies.

“Whatever you wanna watch” He yells back out to you.

You find an interesting action movie and just as you were about to go get some snacks for you and him from the kitchen your phone starts to ring.

You look at your phone and see that your sister, Maddie is calling you. You walk back to get your phone ,not trying to miss a phone call from your sister. You pick up immediately thinking she’s calling just to chit chat with you or maybe even gossip

“Hey sis what’s going on” you say happy to hear her voice

You soon hear the fear and worry tracing her voice it’s almost as if she was on the verge of tears and that alone tightened your chest.

“(Y/N) it’s Buck, h-he’s in a coma…..it’s not looking good for him you need to come down to the hospital”

You felt all the blood drain from your face.Your pulse picked up quickly as if you just ran a marathon. You place your hand on your head panic washing over you.

“Maddie what are you talking about….There’s no way….no Maddie please god no” you say with tears streaming down your face feeling like you were gonna pass out from the way your heart picked up on speed.

“I’m serious (y/n) I feel the same way but you need to get down here it’s not looking good” She says and you can hear her voice cracking over the phone.

It broke your heart to hear your sister cry but it broke you heart even more to hear what was going on with your brother. Not Evan, no way.

He was with Eddie earlier and he sounded fine how could he possibly be in a coma now and no one knows the outcome.

All the commotion and your cries bring Eddie out to the living room in a hurry looking at you in bare worry.

In hysterics you yell out to Eddie “ Buck…s-somethings wrong with buck” You could hardly even understand yourself the fear and worry is just taking over you.

He walks over to you in a hurry and places one of his hands on your shoulder and the other one on your cheek

“(Y/N), love, what’s going on..talk to me ” he says in a worried tone because he rarely sees you like this and with him knowing that you were fine a couple minutes ago it was like a complete shock to him.

You suddenly got urge to just run you didn’t want to be surrounded by anyone you just wanted to be by yourself. All of these events that happened rather quickly will all explain the lingering gut feeling you had all day.

I’m a quick change of events you ran out the house and ran wherever your mind told you to go. You hear Eddie yelling for you from the front door but you drown him out.

You couldn’t deal with this right now.

Only a few street lights and the bright moon light lit your bath. After a couple of minutes of running you stop and sit down against a wall with a street lamp illuminating you and a little bit of your surroundings.

You breakdown immediately. Wondering why all of this was happening l, you didn’t feel like you had the strength to talks the bad news especially when it’s about your brother who always gets through things.

You cry and cry as if there’s not tomorrow

“Why….why are you doing this to me Buck” You say to yourself rubbing your hands through your hair and trying to wipe your eyes but the more you wiped the more the tears kept coming.

You bring your knees up to your chest and rest your head on them.

Soon you hear the rumble to a car engine and headlights creeping up on you. You put your elbow in front of your face and try to block out the bright lights from your puffy eyes.

“Baby oh my god…. (Y/N)” you hear the familiar voice of Eddie.

He quickly closed his car door and in a quick pace he came over too you. He kneeled down in front of you and took a look at you before he brought you into his chest embracing you.

The tears flow again and it breaks his heart to hear you cry or to even be upset.He never wanted to see you like this ever.

“I got you babe I’m here.. I’m here don’t worry” He says in a soft yet comforting tone. It was all you needed in this very moment.

You try to calm yourself down but your mind was running and it was only make you freak out more.

“You gotta breathe for me baby, try to calm down a little I’m right here with you and I’m not going anywhere”

He rubs his hands up and down your back and holding the back of your head mumbling sweet nothings to you. He got the phone call as well and of course Eddie was worried too, Buck is his best friend. However, his focus was on you and he needed to make sure that you know that he’s there with you.
