Messy draft monday

playing with an evil plot bunny centered on that poker date night.

Title: All Time High

Fandom: 911

Pairing: Buddie, likely mention of canon pairings through 6B

Working summary:

After being struck by lightning on the job, Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley takes his newly acquired math skills to Vegas for the weekend. He’s also in search of the meaning of why he survived given that all his lovers leave him sooner or later and his found family is all happily settled down but he isn’t.

He’s not running away to Vegas, but it might look that way from the outside.

Las Vegas, Nevada is where Eddie Diaz has been spinning his wheels for the last few years after his discharge from the Army. He’s finally in a bit of a good spot emotionally but is starting to feel at loose ends as his son starts wanting more independence.

A different first meeting under alternative circumstances.

Tags/warnings: rough draft. Half-formed idea that has somehow gotten a title, a vague plot and a theme song. I have other priorities but just jotting a few things down tonight. Alternative universe. Alternative first meetings. Not-currently-a-firefighter Eddie.

Without further ado….

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two

Had no intention to do the things we've done

“Boss—I got a suspected counter at table four in Mavericks.”

Eddie isn’t supposed to be here at work, but it’s a Friday night and he was just miserably staring at the tv in his apartment with Chris at a sleepover. He’d thrown on his work clothes and wandered down to the monitoring hub so he’d at least be around other people instead of miserably alone and abandoned by his newly teenaged son.

Lena had already moved to hover over Lucy’s shoulder, examining the security footage. Eddie’s not supposed to officially know but Lena and Lucy are sweet on each other and in the blushing-every-time-their-eyes-meet phase of courting.

It’s tooth rotting cute and he’s getting cavities just from being around them.

Joining them, Eddie can see the poker tables in the medium-high limit, texas hold’em section. The table is full with four players shown from multiple angles as well as the dealer, Cooper.

Eddie: I’m moving back to El Paso to be near Chris.

Buck: EDDIE. I’m gonna be supportive but do you know HOW MUCH MORE BAKING I’m gonna need to do now.

Eddie: uh.. so…

Buck: I think Maddie needs a second wedding cake.

Eddie: what?

Buck: (manic) Do you have a copy of the Guinness book of world records?

Days later, Eddie and Chris watching tv in El Paso

TV Announcer: Again, our top story is that a strange bisexual man has built a full size replica of the Eiffel Tower- made entirely of lemon tort. Six people have died. And it has drawn back the swarm of killer bees from before.

Chris: Dad… is Buck ok?

Eddie: Chris, I can’t be honest about that and still stay here in El Paso.

Chris: oh.

Thinking of Eddie Munson at the sidewalk with a megaphone doing the ‘polite catcalling’ thing with his hellfire boys. And firefighter Steve Harrington on the other side of the road responding to a fender bender. And Eddie’s like, ‘none of these thoughts are in the Bible, Jeffrey help me.’

POV you and your gf have a date night and you meet your work husband who has a date with your boyfriend, so you need to let the world know about it

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I'm gonna be honest if the show has Buddie go from friends to engaged immediately it's possibly the only couple ever where I'd go "yeah that tracks."

[elainiisms]

my fav closet case <3

[filmyocean]

Maddie (about Eddie): It’s sweet that you care so much about him

Buck: I do. And I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to him, and I wasn't at his bedside to say "I told you so"

[911-incorrect-quotes-dispatch]

Buck: Ok pops, I got your lab work right here.

Bobby: I didn't get any tests done?

Buck: The results are in, I’m afraid you have updog…

Bobby: What the hell is updog?

Buck: Nothing much, what's up with you? Hen! Get in here, I told you I could do it!

[watchyourbuck]

Why are we all collectively ignoring Eddie saying “you can never have enough closet space” and Tommy doubling down with “ain’t that the truth, right, Evan?” SJDJDJDSJDJS pls im–

Surprise, Surprise

a/n: I had this mostly written in my drafts before Bi!Buck actually became canon and wanted to finish it, so enjoy <3 (18+ ONLY)

Warnings: pregnant reader, fluff (whoa! Cali writes fluff? Don’t get used to it 😉)

“Is y/n feeling okay?”

“Yeah. Why do you ask?”

“Because she looks - Well she looks a little-“

“Hot.” Maddie said.

“Yeah that,” Chim agreed while pointing to Maddie.

“Hot?” Buck asked furrowing his brow.

“As in sexy. Foxy. Hot!” Maddie said very bluntly that even had her husband looking at her. Athena and Hen scurried to the three at the kitchen island to join in,

“You guys talking about Y/n?” Hen asked.

“I don’t mean to be suggestive as I am a woman of class, but whatever you’re doing Buck, keep doing it,” Athena nodded as she raised her glass to the gals.

“It’s not that she wasn’t THAT before now, but we haven’t seen her in a while and she looks and even feels different. I can feel her vibe from here,” Hen said as she playfully grasped at the air in your direction.

“Uh, heh, yeah. I guess things are a little different,” Buck said while looking back at you sweetly,

“Uh, I mean, things are good! Great even! That’s why you guys are here. We wanted to see everyone in one room for once,” Buck smiled, “so glad you’re all here.” Buck sipped on his beer before his foot got stuck any further down his throat.

The get together was in full swing when you went and grabbed the extra bag of ice from the freezer. Buck saw you out of the corner of his eye and practically flew out of his pants rushing over to you. Eddie saw the interaction from across the room and squinted his eyebrows in his chismoso ways. He migrated to the group by the counter with a full on detective look on his face,

“Y’all saw that, right?”

“You mean the way Buck Scooby-Doo’ed his way out of his seat to help a grown woman carry 10 pounds of ice? Yeah.” Hen confirmed. All heads turned to Eddie waiting for an explanation.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“You’re his best friend,” Maddie said matter of factly.

“You’re his sister,” Eddie mocked back.

“I mean it would explain the changes we all see,” Hen shrugged her shoulders.

“The glowing skin, thicker hair, filled out in the appropriate places…” Athena drifted off.

“The cravings, the mood swings, the crying…” Chimney chimed in. Now all heads swifted his way,

“I saw her last Thursday-

“Chimney!”

“Dude!”

“What!? I wasn’t paying attention to anything except the safety and well being of my Jiyung. But it does make a little more sense now…”

They stared on as Buck kissed you on your forehead and took the ice to the cooler. Bobby rounded the corner in the backyard and made his way over to you, giving you the biggest hug. The group realizes he’s pointing to Buck a lot and using grand gestures,

“Think he knows something?” Hen asked Athena who just looked on. Bobby went to head inside when he spotted the gathering at the counter and immediately stopped in his tracks to turn the other way.

“He knows!” Eddie said has he raced around the counter, beating Bobby to bathroom,

“Hey Cap! What’s up?”

“What’s up, Eddie?”

“Nothin. Just hangin out, you know,” he said with a big smile and deep eye contact trying to read his Captain.

Feeling awkward,

“Alright well, I’m gonna..” Bobby said as he motioned to the bathroom.

“Yeah, man! For sure! We’ll be right out here!” Eddie walked back to the island.

“He’s not coming out,” Chimney said, “Do you think that’s why everyone’s here? So they can tell us all?”

“I guess we’ll find out, but we can’t in good conscience harass Bobby into telling us,” Athena said as she was the first to walk off.

The party went on for another hour or so when Buck called the attention of everyone,

“Y/N and I would first like to start off by thanking you all for being here. It means a lot to us that we can see the people we love and care about all together and creating memories. That’s why today is so special. Uh, it has come to my attention that some of you may be guessing…” he said as he turned his attention to his family and they turned to Bobby who kept his eyes wide and trained forward,

“My wife and I have created our true dream life and forever team. We’ve been through so much together and have been privileged to have had all of you by our side along the way. Which is why we are-words can’t even describe this feeling, but we are beyond blessed to announce that we are expecting our first child-”

The party erupted in cheer and Bobby let out a sigh of relief before joining in on the applause. Buck never got to finish his speech before parents were coming up to you both and giving hugs.

“You knew?” Athena asked Bobby.

“For 3 weeks now. He said he needed to tell someone but knew it was too early to tell everyone.”

“Ohh, so in the end you just respecting Buck’s wishes?” She delivered with a playful side eye.

“Exactly,” he said leaning down to kiss her forehead and pull her in.
