TELLING || BUDDIE PARA (APRIL 17TH)

Eddie was at first confused by Maddie’s reaction, and he barely remembered handing her the bottle of wine before they were following her into the house. It was only after hearing her explaining her point that he finally got it. “I suppose he wanted to make it a surprise as long as possible. We have only told my parents, and now you. And we’ll be telling Bobby, and Hen, and also Chim later today, so we’ll appreciate if you hold onto our secret for a couple of hours longer? We want to be the ones to tell them.” Eddie felt bad in a one for sounding somewhat bossy to his potential sister in-law, but he was being honest. He didn’t want anything to mess with how they had planned things. 

Of course, the way she was pouting at him showed that it would take all of her strenght to keep it a secret a bit longer, but nevertheless, she promised, and even threw in a pinky swear with both Buck, and also Eddie. “Good. A pinky promise means business” he said with a soft chuckle, then they all sat in the living room. “I have to say” she said as she brought the glasses over “I knew even before I even met you that this was how things would be.” Eddie looked confused. “Wait, what does that mean?” he asked her, to which she giggled. “When I first got here, Buck wouldn’t stop talking about you, and how good you were to your son and everything, so I asked him if this brand new man crush on you meant that he was over Maddie.” He looked at Buck and raised a brow. “A mancrush, huh?” he said, the smile way too much obvious now.

Buck opened his mouth, then shut it, with a shake of his head, “I...” He said, trying again, “look, I was an idiot, okay? We’ve definitely been over this. Not realising straight men didn’t think about making out with other guys and all that? I just thought I was really fucking comfortable with my straight-ness.” He laughed, taking a sip of the win, “but yes. I had a massive, what I thought, to be bro-crush on you from the beginning. Well, maybe not the first day.” He thought back to the anger he’d felt when he first saw Eddie in the station, but he knew it was just misplaced jealously. He’d liked being the hot, flirty firefighter, and he didn’t want Eddie to challenge him for that. “But at least from the second.”

“So... do I get to know how it happened?” Maddie asked, smirking into a sip of wine and Buck rolled his eyes. Of course she was curious. They told her, about how Eddie had known his feelings for Buck for a long time, but it had taken Buck a while to cotton on to his own despite the fact it should have been obvious. They left out some of the details, but the essence was there (and she was not impressed to find out how long they had been hiding it from everybody, but also happy to know they really had passed the ‘danger zone’ of the early months of a relationship). She looked between them, before her gaze settled on Eddie, “I’m glad it’s you, Eddie. You guys are perfect for each other, always have been.”
