#not ana flores friendly

[buddiesmutslut]

I saw a post the other day about someone being pissed that people were calling Eddie gay instead of bi only because they couldn't handle more than one bisexual person on a show. Now, I didn't make Eddie gay/demi, he was born that way, BUT it got me thinking, because the whole crew feels very fruity? SO, I want to get your guys' opinions on what you think the rest of the characters are. (JUST the characters. We're not speculating on the actors. We all know this.) I'm going to put mine below & I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts :) These are by vibes only. As a definite demisexual and probable bi woman, idk how great my gaydar is, but sexuality is a spectrum & straight isn't the default, so let's go!!

Bobby - 0% fruity. That is a straight, middle aged white man (affectionate) if I've ever seen one.

Athena - Also straight.

Chim - Chim feels very straight to me, but that scene with the bachelor had me peering at him a little closer, because I've never watched the Bachelor, but it looked like Joey (I think that was the bachelor's name, right? I've never watched a single episode of that show so I have no idea) had been around before, so I couldn't tell if he was like, starstruck, or "Wow that's a pretty boy and it's making me feel things" -struck 😂

Maddie - I don't get many vibes from her either, but I also have a vague fic idea of Madney breaking up in s4/s5 and her ending up with Shannon instead, so idk, maybe she's just unlabeled but somewhere on the spectrum of queerness?

Shannon - Bi vibes

Taylor Kelly - 100% bi, I refuse to hear any other argument.

Lucy Donato - This is a pansexual woman if I've ever seen one, you cannot convince me otherwise. (Also, the most interesting AND likable of Buck's female LI's, argue with the wall. Lucy, they'll never make me hate you bby 🩷💛💙.)

Lena Bokso - Lesbian vibes, for sure. I don't think there was ANY romantic undertones with her and Eddie (Which, I'm not saying that's the only reason I think she's a lesbian. She can like men and not like Eddie. Even if she did, Eddie wasn't in a place to do anything with those feelings, but I saw a post about that pairing recently & wanted to throw my 2 cents in)

May Grant - May also gives off queer vibes, and I've seen other view her as full wlw, but I think she gives off more bi/pan vibes?

Ravi - This man is soommmeee kind of queer that I just cannot put my finger on. I've seen him HC'd as gay, pan, & ace in some way, and I can honestly rock w/ any of the 3 of them. All I know is that he is not a straight man lol.

Albert - Also unsure about him, but if someone were to tell me that he was bi, I could definitely see it. I think that's influenced by the fic that had him, Ravi & May in a throuple, which was genuinely so cute.

Ana - Dr. Flores doesn't give off queer vibes for me, but that could be bc she was criminally underdeveloped & we know practically nothing about her.

Natalia - See above ^^

Ali Martin - Same ^^ although I could see her just being queer and not being more specific than that. Maybe she's straight, who knows. I literally forgot about her until I was looking up actor/actress names 😂

M*risol - straight & homophobic lmfao

Abby - Literally could not care less about her, but I wanted to include her so I could talk about her possibly being Tommy Kinard's ex-girlfriend and her coming back to LA for whatever reason and finding her ex-boyfriends happy & having totally forgotten about her predatory ass.

Also, obviously not speculating about any of the children, bc they're still children, even if they're fictional. It's icky.

I think that's all the main/reoccurring characters that we don't already know about, let me know if I missed any.

Talk about being the gay firefighter show, how accurate lmfao.

[spotsandsocks]

Hi Spots!!! May I please request some sentences!

🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌

🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡

Hello there lovie hope your doing good 💜 thanks for inspiring more words.

🛏️ only one bed

Buck really is ridiculously attractive. He never had a chance of resisting him, did he? His hair’s curling softly, his cheeks are pink, lips pinker. He’s a sight indeed and he’s all Eddie’s at least for the next three nights.

Buck must sense him because he looks up and smiles and Eddie’s stupid, constantly breaking heart thumps so loudly it hurts.

He should move, he needs to, he must look weird hovering by the bathroom door. A single step forward starts him on his journey. He expects he looks and moves like a perfectly sane person but inside it’s a different story, inside his thoughts are running wild.

Fuck.

A step forward, the first to take him towards Buck.

This is such a mistake.

He’s getting closer, Buck’s attention is back on his book.

Such a huge, terrible, fucking disaster of a decision.

Closer still.

He could still walk away, back out, squeeze in with Chris, make Buck move into the tiny bed next door and Eddie can share with Chris in here instead.

🏡 Anne of green gables au

Eddie’s talking to Ana Flores again. Her family are friendly with Eddie’s . Eddie’s mother says Ana Flores is a delightful young woman, very accomplished, a credit to the Island. She’s one of the prettiest girls in school and she’s nice too. Always smiling, kind to the younger children, popular with the girls, helpful, smart (not as smart as he is if anyone was asking). She’s definitely not as smart as Eddie and her smile isn’t that great, Eddie has a nicer smile any day. She's smiling at Eddie right now and there's no comparison. She’s really not that great if you ask him.

She is however a favourite of the boys. They all vie for her attention, her smile, her time. When she’s allowed to go to dances he’s sure her dance card will be full in moments.

It’s her fault he’s had to walk to school alone today. Eddie couldn’t meet him this morning because his mother had promised Ana’s mother that Eddie would pick up Ana and her science project with their horse and cart.

She looks like she enjoyed the ride and Buck would prefer it if she didn’t look so smug about having Eddie all to herself but on the bright side the second Eddie notices him by the school gate he nods politely at Ana and walks away to join Buck.

Buck tries hard not to look too smug about that, judging by Ana”s face he’s not particularly successful.

@lonelychicago have some Anne with an e au as you’re the inspiration for it

[m3r1m4r5u333]

I was thinking of the episode titles in season 7 in relation to Buddie.

7x01 "Abandon ships" basically has them abandoning their current relationships, right?

Buck tells Eddie that he broke up with Natalia.

Also, Eddie needs help co-parenting and instead of asking his girlfriend, he asks Buck to talk with Chris.

The way they combine Eddie's and Marisol's date with Christopher's, and then Eddie muses about the date feeling just friendly when the camera is actually focused on him and Marisol...

Then Buck brings up sexual tension while he's putting out a fire... And Eddie stares.

---

The emergency in 7x01, introducing the couple at the pool? Feels like a recap of past events.

With the guy passing out mid sex and the woman becoming trapped due to the stress response making her muscles spasm...?

Is truly such a hilarious retelling of Eddie's panic attacks.

The poor woman, still trapped, is basically living the life of Ana Flores:

"I don't even know how this happened. I mean, I know how it happened. We were, you know, doing it, and then he got woozy and started complaining about chest pains, and he went limp. Well, mostly - because every time I try to get free, I can't! What is happening?!"

The team tries to figure out how to help,

Hen comes to the conclusion that the medical emergency does not appear to be a heart attack (much like Eddie's panic attacks weren't either) and then states that

"What we need to do, is get him out of this hot water!"

(Hot water, indeed.)

The woman begs for help because she does not wish to have an embarrassing hospital trip.

The parallel - remember the cringy conversation at the hospital, when the doctor & the people in the room were trying to figure out what could be making Eddie so stressed, and Eddie reveals his hand by looking at Ana. Embarrassing all around!

So the team at the pool tries to come up with a solution, and decide they should help her relax.

Eddie's watching the pool scene unfold and is then like

"(*sighs*) This is the story of my fucking life. Okay, I got this. I know how to deal with panic attacks!"

So he orders Buck to switch with Hen, to get Buck closer.

So the first step to the road to recovery and getting out of panic mode is Buck getting closer! (And he did, didn't he. Eddie talked with Buck, then broke up with Ana, and Eddie was able spend more time with Buck again.)

Then Eddie asks if Buck's "got him?" (meaning the man who's collapsed), Buck does.

Then Eddie rambles on about a game called Jell-o body, to get the woman to relax. Apparently that's how Eddie also calms himself down (which is a fun fact I did not know I needed, but I will cherish it to the grave anyway).

I'm not entirely sure what the "lime jell-O" reference could mean, but after some obsessed googling, I'm thinking it means incompatible ingredients - components which do not work well together.

These absolutely mad jell-o recipes used to be a thing, and also ridiculed. Go listen to "Lime Jello Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise", if you haven't, it's pretty funny.

Anyway. Would make sense in the context I'm seeing here. Picturing lime jell-O is what brings the stress level down because it reminds you that it's okay to let go. Some things just aren't meant to be. Like Eddie and Ana weren't!

...

So. Does this mad rambling of mine make any sense to anyone but me? 😅

[meatriarchived]

you know, pre-house, start-ish of her time at uni, as open and as friendly and social etc that maria's always been? i definitely feel she struggled in alot of ways to feel comfortable being away from home.

the constant worry about being away from mama flores when he health isn't good, leaving that responsibility more into the hands of extended nearby family and ana. knowing if something went wrong it'd take a while to hurry back home, and the stress and anxiety thoughts along those lines bring up ( esp considering, no cells, so she'd be in the dark the whole way there ). there was alot of guilt she held onto, for not being home, passing that responsibility elsewhere instead of 'being a good, oldest daughter' and being home to handle things herself.

ana ended up doing alot of maria's applications for uni with their uncles and aunts because, simply, maria hadn't felt like she should go and kept putting things off - and ana, even just being closer to what, a freshman or being in 9th grade at the time, had already watched maria give up the last few years since ramon took off stepping in basically in his shoes and trying to make sure everything got done, bills got paid, mama flores got to her appointments, ana was keeping on top of her schoolwork and everything, getting her back and forth where she had to be. ana saw how much of herself she was spreading thin, how much she took on. how little she was able to keep up with her long-term childhood-thru-hs friends. ana knew maria needed to do something for herself for once - and letting her go off to uni was one of those things.

and those first some weeks, months there, maria was very much homesick. she cried alot, she missed her baby sister, she missed her mama. she missed her old friendgroup. but after graduation they all went their separate ways, left the state, lost touch. and again, while maria is very much a social butterfly, very much a gentle and friendly presence, i do feel at the start there was alot of hesitation reaching out to classmates, etc for anything not class-related. she had her roommates at the time, sure, but only really saw them at the end of the day, if that.

so when i say that when she met julie things drastically changed? i really do mean that.

julie i feel really did help her branch back out, from just being her even more social butterfly self. introduced her to different types of people, scenarios, experiences. most of her very first uni parties was what julie had dragged her to - maria was never much of a partying girl, really, but she had alot of fun sticking with julie and meeting the different people she was friendly with. julie brought out her confidence again.

and so when julie then dragged our lil hissy cat ( future bestie ) connie into the lil beginning of the friendgroup? maria was so excited to meet her. but also saw that she was more in her shell, too, so toned down the bubbliness, tried to pay closer attention to what she was comfortable with, really truly wanted to be connie's friend but also didn't want to spook her being too overly-friendly or overly-sweet and affectionate.

but once connie warmed up enough to her? her and julie were maria's ride-or-die girlies. the original besties + danny bestie. and maria was so very happy having found herself another lil friendgroup, with people she can say she very genuinely loves, adores, cares for, is devoted to, and frankly each addition being so unique and lovely that in her eyes, they truly are the greatest bunch of friends she's ever had.

Unusual Holiday Destinations To Inspire Your Next Adventure

When I think of visiting far-off remote places and unusual holiday destinations where there are no crowds in sight, I smile.

That’s not to say these places turn out to be a happy land of lone travellers, free of fam-bams and overzealous intrepid tourists, but if you’re picturing urban dwellers, and jaded souls who are perpetually excited at the sight of ridiculously balmy beaches, windblowing magical places to rest out their tired lives – then, that’s about right.

The world may be conquered, and every year Lonely Planet and TripAdvisor releases their top unique destinations that will make you dream of ways to whisk you to these secret places of the world.

However, the missing ingredient of these places are the travellers’ stories, the new connections, the personal tips and the unusual experiences.

Hence, I have reached out to travel bloggers and creators to highlight their unusual holiday destinations like or unique travel destinations that will feed your adventurous soul from honeymoon destinations in Asia to hidden gems in Europe.

While putting this post, I have come to conclude that:

It is easy to get out and go under the radar. It could be a piece of history, an amazing city or a place that you sought out because you were interested in the way the locals have reformed their lives, Any little interest in these new places is enough for you to go off-the-path.

Safety is a state of mind. You should never let fear keep you away from travelling. A place of despair becomes the terrain of what might be. Precautions and a few general street smarts are enough for you to find strength in visiting places you’d never think of visiting.

Open-ended journeys, and limited budgets are inspiring: Forget the categories of budget travellers, backpacker and luxury travellers, but just pick any destination regardless of the cost, and find a way to create a travel budget while focusing on the spontaneous experiences.

If you would like to visit new places and can’t think of unusual holiday destinations, consider these stories and recommendations below.

27 Unusual Holiday Destinations To Inspire You

Table of Contents

#1 El Savador, Central America

El Salvador is an often overlooked country in Central America, the smallest in the region in fact, and usually avoided because of safety concerns.

But if you are smart and avoid the main focus on drug-related crime you can travel to El Salvador and enjoy a beautiful country without any tourists and with friendly people.

El Salvador is a very affordable country and one of the most unusual holiday destinations where you can spend less than $10 a day on food and public transportation (buses) are cheap.

However, to be safer and more comfortable, I suggest picking a base and going on day tours with a driver and guide.

This way you will be safer but also will get to interact with the locals and learn more about the rich heritage.

I stayed in Suchitoto, a small village about 1.5 hour from San Salvador and from there explored the Mayan Ruins, La Ruta de las Flores, and Santa Ana Volcano. San Salvador deserves half a day and if you are into surfing, there are a few towns along the coast, north and south of La Libertad which have a great surf.

#2 Las Terrazas, Cuba

Many travellers only think about going to the beach in Cuba and maybe a side trip into Havana for the day. But Cuba is one unusual holiday destination that you cannot find elsewhere.

Las Terrazas is a small village just 90 minutes outside Havana on the way to Vinales. It is not on a beach but actually in the mountains in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The community population is limited because you must be invited to live here, you cannot just move here on your own.

The easiest way to live here in utopia is to marry someone from the local community, or to have a trade that they need, such as an electrician or a plumber.

But tourists are welcome to visit as this area was once a former coffee plantation and so it’s possible to hike through the mountains and visit old plantation ruins and go birdwatching. 

Cubans also vacation here as there are two lakes and a river to swim in. It’s popular to go horseback riding, zip lining and it’s worth staying overnight in the local hotel, or you can also stay by the river in small huts.

If you’re on a budget you can also camp in a tent, either your own or rent one from the community.

If you’re looking for a bit more tranquility, there are a number of artist studios to visit and the local coffee shop has an amazing view.

Las Terrazas is also home to a solar powered vegetarian restaurant that aims to grow most of its food or buy from local farmers.

#3 Shaxi, China

The peaceful pedestrian streets and earthy undertones in a sleepy Shaxi town was the perfect kind of balance we were seeking in a different side of China.

Shaxi (pronounced “Sha-Shi”) situated in Yunnan province was an important village on the ancient Tea Horse Road, a similar route to the historic Silk Road, and is the only living piece of the old trail while still trying to maintain some of it authenticity.

We stayed at the The Old Theatre Inn overlooking corn fields, tucked minutes away from the main town framed by cherry blossom trees was our stay for the night

Walking to the outskirts of Shaxi offers pristine views of the Heihui River, with rolling peaks creating the stunning backdrop.

Few people have realised how vast and unprecedented the changes that China has gone through but this change is often seen in big cities.

Not many venture into the caravan towns and old squares of China, in other words the off the beaten path destination in China where true gems and stories are to be found.

#4 San Cipriano, Colombia

If you’re in the Americas and thinking of heading down to Colombia, then there is one unusual holiday destination or unique travel destination that may interest you. In fact, it’s not so much the destination but how you get there that is quite unusual.

The name of this place is called San Cipriano and let me tell you why.  

San Cipriano is not one of the most famous places in Colombia but has a natural reserve which is home to the most crystalline waters your eyes have ever seen.

However, to get to the natural reserve, you must take a ride on an abandoned train track which has been adapted by locals to fit a motorbike equipped with make-shift wooden carriage. 

It’s the most exhilarating 20-minute ride you will ever take and it costs less than $3USD!

It goes through the middle of the jungle and there’s no speed limit. Some have noted how dangerous it is but it’s the only way to get to the Natural reserve without hiking for a couple of hours. This is what makes the natural reserve at San Cipriano a very unusual holiday destination for 2019.

**Name**: Taeyang Kim

**Age**: 22

**Occupation**: Part-time clerk in a store

**Personality**: Taeyang Kim is a man of quiet strength and integrity. He carries himself with a calm and composed demeanor, rarely showing his emotions on the surface. His seriousness is a reflection of his dedication to his responsibilities, and he takes his leadership role seriously, often guiding others with wisdom and a steady hand.

Taeyang's loyalty to his friends is unwavering. He's the type of person you can always count on in times of need, and he values the bonds he shares with those close to him. While he may appear reserved, his friends know that beneath that serious exterior is a dependable and caring individual who will stand by their side through thick and thin.

**Relation to the Flores**: Simply put, he meets Ana at the store he works in. Small chats here and there it was on friendly terms. However, Taeyang would notice a change in Ana. Asking if everything was alright, before learning of her missing sister. Knowing the pain of a loved one in potential danger, made him think of his mother. Therefore Taeyang would assist the best he could, by placing up flyers around. Hoping someone would know anything about the missing person Maria Flores.

**Anything else you want others to know**: Taeyang Kim’s is a testament to his resilience and the unexpected turns life can take. Born and raised in a quiet suburban neighborhood, Taeyang had always been an inquisitive and bright young man. From a young age, he had a fascination with the intricacies of the legal system, finding law to be a subject of endless fascination. His dream was to become a lawyer and make a meaningful impact in the world of justice.

Taeyang's journey towards his dream of becoming a lawyer took him to a prestigious law school, where he excelled academically and immersed himself in the study of jurisprudence. His professors saw great potential in him, and he was well on his way to realizing his ambitions.

However, fate had other plans for Taeyang. His life took an unexpected turn when his mother, Eleanor, fell seriously ill. The diagnosis was a heavy blow to Taeyang and his family. Even more when his father refused to help. Berating Taeyang for stopping his life for a useless cause. From that day forward Taeyang and his father have a son/father hate relationship. Even though he was determined to provide the best care for his mother, he made the difficult decision to put his dreams of becoming a lawyer on hold.

Taeyang took on multiple part-time jobs to cover medical expenses and ensure his mother received the care she needed. He worked tirelessly, from late nights as a clerk in a convenience store to weekends as a landscaper, all while taking on the role of his mother's primary caregiver. His calm and serious demeanor, once focused on studying law, now became a source of strength and stability in the face of adversity.

As years went by, Taeyang's legal aspirations remained dormant, but his commitment to his mother's well-being never wavered. His dreams had been temporarily set aside, but his sense of duty and love for his family only grew stronger.

It was during this time of caregiving that Taeyang encountered unexpected opportunities and challenges that would ultimately shape his character and future. The world of law may have been temporarily out of reach, but his journey was far from over.

“Every setback is a setup for a comeback.”

“I may have set aside my dreams, but I’ve discovered new horizons.”

“I’m not looking for trouble, but I will stand my ground if I have to.”

AU: High school (Adriana’s POV)

***

Adriana got detention for clocking Ana Flores in the face who was talking shit and spreading rumors about Sophia and her friend Shannon behind their backs. Unfortunately for her, Adriana stood right behind her at one of such speeches. Ana’s permanently crooked nose will forever remind her to keep her opinions to herself.

Buck got detention for filling Taylor Kelly’s locker with sewer water balloons after she posted an article about his friends Hen and Chimney with a story of an incident that happened at their previous school between them and some kid named Jonah Greenway who’s in a juvie now.

Buck and Adriana hit it off fast and soon became best friends. Her older brother was really grumpy about that.

***

Eddie is really suspicious of this Buckley kid, who after Adriana’s fight with some snooty brat, hangs out now with his sister all the damn time. Like, what are his intentions, huh? Like hell he will allow them sit in Adriana’s room with a closed door, nah-ah. No, sir! Not on his watch.

Never mind that Adriana was not interested in relationship with anyone. That’s just how she is.

Never mind that Buck gives Eddie, as Adriana likes to call them, stupid heart eyes every time they saw each other.

***

Or the one with a feral best friend Adriana, oblivious and grumpy but smitten Eddie, and awkward but determined and very much in love Buck.

" The difference between you and Ana is you will help Chris to soar as high as he can while Ana will help him fly only as high as she thinks he should."

So this is a line for a wip Buddie fic I hope to finish and it is how I see the difference between Buck and Ana.

Buck supports Christopher and does everything in his power to help him achieve his goal.

Ana doesn't she openly states Christopher needs to know his limits.

[potterbite]

a green-eyed monster

jealous eddie, bisexual buck and love declarations. on ao3.

“Who’s that?” Eddie glares, looking over at where Buck is helping a guy with a quick bandage. Does the guy really have to smile that wide and talk so much? And why is Buck even entertaining him to begin with?

“Who?” Hen asks distractedly; she’s packing up her bag, the rest of the team already done with all of the patients that needed their help so they’re just waiting for Buck to finish up. 

“That guy!” Eddie points with his entire arm. “Flirting with Buck. What’s his problem?”

This catches Hen’s attention and she pauses with her hands still in the bag to look over at Buck. A smile slowly forms on her face.

“Doesn’t seem to be a problem at all, Eddie.” She claps friendly on his shoulder. “Buck is flirting back.”

“Who’s flirting back?” comes Chimney’s voice as he rounds the ambulance to where they’re standing. 

“Buck and his last patient are flirting and Eddie’s bothered by it.”

He doesn’t see the look that Hen and Chimney exchange. 

“I am not,” he grumbles and heads over to the truck instead. 

Less than ten minutes later, the team is on their way back, all together. For some reason, Chimney and Hen asked some of the other guys to drive the ambulance back. Eddie didn’t hear the reason why, which seems weird as they’re just completely silent now.

Whatever. 

“You know, you shouldn’t lead a guy on when it’s never gonna happen,” Eddie mutters when he can’t take it any longer. 

Buck frowns, looking from Chim, to Hen, to Eddie. “What?”

“That guy, with the bandage. He flirted with you, so you shouldn’t flirt back.”

Buck looks stunned for a beat, nobody else speaking. Then he swallows. 

“Let me get this straight.” Chim sniggers, but Eddie chooses to ignore that. “I’m not allowed to flirt when someone attractive likes me and gives me their number?”

“You - well, no, you’re not. You don’t even like men.”

“Yes I do.”

The quiet inside the truck grows, or maybe it’s just in Eddie’s head because nobody else seems thrown by this information. Not even a little bit. 

He keeps his gaze on Buck. “Since when?”

Buck raises both eyebrows. “Since always. It just so happens that women are usually more flirty to me on the job than men tend to be.” Another deep frown. “Is it a problem for you that I like both men and women?”

Eddie splutters. “Of course it isn’t!”

“Then why - ?”

“I’m just shocked since you’ve never said anything!”

“Well, you’ve never asked.”

“I didn’t know I had to ask my best friend for that information!”

Buck ignores that. “So are you bothered by the fact that I flirted with a guy that asked me out or that I didn’t tell you I like guys to begin with? I’m confused.”

Eddie huffs. He really doesn’t want to discuss this anymore with the rest of the team looking on as if it’s some soap opera.

“Never mind.”

Everyone is silent for the rest of the drive back and Eddie turns his head to the street outside. 

---

Buck ignores him for the rest of their shift, but since Eddie is also pretty darned annoyed he doesn’t really mind. Not much anyway. He can’t believe his best friend for almost four years never told him he was into both men and women. That seems like pretty vital information, isn’t it? Maybe Eddie could’ve set Buck up with some nice guy.

Okay, no. That idea makes Eddie nauseous with jealousy. Like from a best friend perspective, in a very platonic way. 

But it still gnaws at him, so much that Chris complains about him being distracted two days later. So even though it’s his day off, he drops his son off at his abuela. He has just come back home and sunken deep into the sofa when words Ana Flores told him months ago pops into his mind. One of the last things she said before they parted ways, actually.

I just think you need to figure out who you love and be honest with yourself about it. Promise me.

It didn’t make sense to Eddie at the time, but now he bolts back up as his brain somehow chooses this opportunity to make the connection between those words and Buck. 

Well shit. 

He’s in his car within five minutes.

---

Buck looks unamused when he opens his front door and sees Eddie standing there, holding up a six pack of beers. 

“I come in peace.”

Buck rolls his eyes in response but steps aside to let Eddie in, walking together to the kitchen where Buck grabs the bottle opener from a drawer. 

“I’m still not sure what happened the other day,” Buck says as he takes a sip from his beer. Eddie, however, takes multiple gulps; he has no idea how to have this conversation. At all. 

“I just didn’t like the look of him, that’s all,” he says dumbly after a short pause. 

The younger man just stares at him, as if he knows he’s full of shit. Which he is. Then Buck takes a deep breath. “Right now, I think you’re another homophobic ass and I’m kind of horrified I’ve been friends with you for so long and not known this.”

Eddie almost chokes on the beer he just drank. “No, no, no, that’s not it at all.”

“Then you need to tell me what it was about.” Buck captures his gaze and refuses to let go, looking stern. “Now.”

Eddie swallows. “Well, to tell you the truth, I was jealous!” His voice comes out higher than intended, but it’s just the two of them there so he doesn’t bother lowering it. It feels good to shout.

Buck looks confused, adorably so, but still raises his voice to match Eddie’s. “What?! Why would you be jealous? You are making no sense right now!”

“I don’t know how else to put it!”

“Then we might as well be speaking different languages!”

They keep looking at each other for several minutes until Eddie ultimately cracks first, not able to resist those eyes any longer. The pleading in them.

“What if I’m in love with you?!” he blurts loudly, the words out of his control, his mind not even caught up with what’s happening. 

Buck looks stunned, mouth gaping for a few seconds before he closes it with a snap. Another beat, then he yells, “That’s good, because I’m in love with you too!”

“Fine!” he shouts, and drags a hand through his own hair. “Can I kiss you then?!”

Finally, Buck grins, fast and dangerous. “Thought you’d never ask,” he replies in a low voice, almost like a purr.

They meet in the middle, lips crashing together hard as Buck’s arms sneak around his waist, one hand going up the back of his shirt, palm flat against warm skin. Eddie has one hand resting firmly on Buck’s neck, and as he moves his fingers to find a pulse, Buck groans. Eddie swallows the sound greedily.

If he could spend the rest of his days here in a dimly lit kitchen with Buck, the taste of beer on both their tongues, no sound except their own breathing, he’s pretty sure he’d be perfectly happy.

But as they do have to breathe properly at some point, they break apart after what feels like forever and just stare at each other, panting.  

“I never would’ve guessed you to be the jealous type,” Buck finally says. “But thank God for that.”

Eddie smiles, feeling giddy. “Who knew?” He takes one of Buck’s hands in his own. “Sleep?” 

Buck nods, and they start to head up the stairs together. But then he remembers something and stops abruptly in the middle, turning to face the other man. “But to be clear, I really need you to delete that man’s phone number.”

Buck laughs. “Consider it done.”

the saddest holiday season in any of maria's verses is definitely in wilted for the majority of the time she was full-blown isolating herself like. maria literally did not decorate, did not buy anything but probably cards and something to send out to mama flores and ana, and things for juniper & her dogs once she got them, and a small something for her widowed neighbor and her son once they got a bit more on friendly terms.

but otherwise like... maria literally just spent most of those two decades in washington just snowed in her lil home or working with the local search/rescue/etc during the holidays.
