So imagine, it’s still early days of Lucy being on the team and Buck is still going through it with taylor/maddie/eddie of it all. Hen tries to coax him out, asks what he did over the weekend and that gets Buck to smile and he launches into the great time he had with Chris at the zoo or whatever, maybe shows Hen a few photos. Lucy leans over, takes one look at the photo, looks back at Buck and goes ‘Wait, you have a kid?’.

Part 2: Soulmates In This Life & Another

------

The day was quiet but of course no one used the ‘Q word’. They were on hour 16 of a 24 hour shift. The time was 3:56am and only Chimney and Buck were awake. Chim was dozing off on the couch when Buck nudged him to go to bed. 

“Man, I'm not tired. I don't know why you think-” his sentence was cut short by a yawn. Buck gave him a pointed look, “still not tired ?” he asked him, his hand resting on his friend’s shoulder as they walked towards the bunks. 

Chimney stepped in first, he made himself comfortable on the bed beside Eddie, Buck who followed Chimney in, took a seat on the end of Eddie’s bed. Buck glanced over his shoulder at the sleeping man, a smile on his face. Eddie looked at ease, there was no frown on his face or furrowed brows that were starting to cause little wrinkles on his forehead- he looked relaxed. By the time Buck returned his attention to his sister’s boyfriend, he was fast asleep. Buck let out a little chuckle. 

A hand on his shoulder startled him, behind him stood Hen. She gave him a small smile, “I'm gonna make some tea, are you going to bed?” she whispers not wanting to wake any of her sleeping teammates. Buck shook his head, “I'll come with you” 

The pair walked to the kitchen, Buck made himself comfortable on one of the stools by the counter while Hen filled the kettle with water. “Eddie seemed a bit on edge earlier, is everything okay with him ?” She stood across from him, Buck’s brows furrowed - he was developing the same little wrinkles Eddie was. 

“Yeah, he had promised Chris that he was going to go with him to Abuela’s yesterday but he forgot he had work so Chris was a little bit upset” Buck replied. Hen studied Buck as he spoke, he didn’t hesitate to tell her what was wrong- that was because he trusted him but he instantly knew what's bothering Eddie because Eddie had confided in Buck.

If it were anyone else, Buck would have had to stop and think why they were upset. 

If Buck wasn't Buck, Eddie wouldn't have told him what was wrong. 

This wasn’t the first time she noticed this either- wherever Buck and Eddie were concerned, you'd go to the other to find out what was wrong. If Eddie was upset, you turned to Buck and if Buck was upset you’d turn to Eddie.

The most recent display she witnessed was when Buck’s parents came to town. They are about to have dinner and Buck hadn’t showed up yet which was strange, considering that he was always first at the table. Bobby asked for Buck and Eddie seemed to be the only one with an answer as to where and what he was doing. Eddie also had gone so far as to give a piece of his mind to the Buckleys while they were at the station about what an amazing man Buck was. 

“Buck ?” 

“Hen?” 

“What’s really going on with you and Eddie ?” 

“What do you mean ?” he head cocks to the side. Hen let out a chuckle, of course he was oblivious, he always was. A look of confusion displayed on his face, Hen shook her head and let out a sigh. 

“Let me ask you something” She paused for a moment, looking over at her friend, his blue eyes staring back at her brown ones. 

“Do you think Eddie loves Ana?”

Hen’s question caught him off guard, he thought it was obvious that he loved her but he paused, thinking about his best friend and his new girlfriend. Sure, they had known each other for a while before when she was Christopher’s teacher but how much can you get to know a person when they’re your kid’s teacher ? They started a relationship rather quickly but Eddie seemed happy and who was he to interfere with his happiness. Nonetheless, he glances back at Hen, “yes, he does. Why are you asking?”

“Okay one more question, you ready?” he hums when she asks. 

“Are you an idiot ?” 

“What ?” the offence visible on his face, “why would you ask me that ?” he rebutted. Hen laughed, “it was more of a statement to tell you the truth.” 

“I’m not an idiot” Buck pouted watching Hen move around the kitchen. She hummed, her back turned to him as he reached for the tea and the mugs. He thought about her first question - what’s really going on with you and Eddie ? 

Nothing was going on, they were just friends. They had always been friends. I mean, yeah they didn’t get along when he first arrived by the end of the shift, they were attached at the hip. Buck’s phone chimed, he swiped away the notification to see a picture of him, Christoper and Eddie from a day at the zoo, he had sent it as his wallpaper a while back. His heart skipping a beat at the smile on Eddie’s face in the photo 

Nothing was going on, they were just friends.

A weekend of rest would do a person a lot of good, unless that person was Eddie Diaz. He entered the station looking worse than he did when he left. His displeasure was no secret as he wore it openly on his face and Buck was the first to notice. Hen followed Buck’s gaze to the man in the locker room and Chimney followed hers. Bobby shouted from the kitchen that breakfast was ready, Hen gave Buck’s shoulder a squeeze as she passed by, her and chimney leaving him by the truck watching Eddie. 

Her touch made Buck think back to their conversation a few nights ago. 

“What’s really going between you and Eddie ?” her words replayed in his head over and over again, the entire weekend he spent thinking on and off about every single thing that happened between the two of them. Pushing the thoughts aside, he approached the locker room. Buck’s hand knocking on the wall, getting Eddie’s attention. 

“Hey, everything okay ?” Buck asked softly, stepping further into the room. He took a seat on the bench in front of Eddie. Eddie was mid changing, his bare back facing Buck as he tumbled through his locker for a shirt. Buck’s eyes raked over Eddie’s skin, soft and tan- a few freckles along his back as his eyes moved lower. Eddie pulled the shirt over his head, Buck’s eyes snapping back up towards his friend’s face. 

“Yeah,” the man sighs, “I’m fine.” 

“If you’re going to lie to me at least be better at it” scoffing before patting the seat beside him. Eddie turned to Buck when he sat. “What’s really going on?” The blonde man questioned and Eddie paused, taking in his best friend. His blue eyes staring thoughtfully at him. Eddie had always had a liking for Buck’s eyes, they were so beautiful and if he could stare into them forever, he would. His eyes trailed down to  Buck’s lips- pink, soft, full, perfect. 

Oh if he could kiss him right now. 

“Eds?” Buck’s voice pulled him from his thoughts. 

“Hm?” 

“What’s going on?” he asked once again, Eddie let out another sigh. 

“It’s Ana, man. We got into a fight when I got home on Saturday.” 

“About?” 

Eddie didn’t mind that Buck pried. If it were anyone else, he’d probably storm out and brood for the rest of the day because someone was poking around in his business but because it was Buck- he didn’t say anything. Buck always listened, didn’t matter what he had to say, he listened. 

“She wants me to meet her parents. I told her it was too early to meet them but then she brought up the fact that she’s met abuela and I kind of let it slip that it wasn't intentional that she met her.” 

Buck’s heart skipped a beat, something about Eddie saying it wasn’t intentional that Ana met Abuela made him feel a glimmer of hope. Surely if Eddie didn’t want them to meet, it couldn't be serious. “You didn’t want her to meet abuela?” 

“I did, but not so soon, you know?” he groaned. Buck’s hand reached for Eddie instinctively, giving it a small squeeze. Buck leaned towards the man sitting in front of him, Eddie had a hold on Buck - something had him gravitating towards him. He wanted to comfort his friend so badly, he hated seeing him sad. 

Something urged him to move his hand up to Eddie’s face. His hand seemed so pale in comparison to Eddie’s tan skin. Eddie watched as Buck shifted towards him, his hand on his face. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t like the way it felt. Buck’s hand was much bigger than Ana’s - it held his face just the way he liked- the way he had imagined. 

He froze in place as he watched Buck lean towards him, their lips inches away from each other. Eddie’s heart felt like it was beating out of his chest- beating so loudly that everyone in the station could hear it. 

Buck’s lips met his and Eddie’s heart decided to skip a beat, the smell of him intoxicating beyond reason. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach and it would a lie to say he hadn’t thought of this exact moment a thousand times over. The warmth Buck radiated was the only thing that filled Eddie’s head, his hands reaching forward to pull Buck closer to him. Just as he did, the alarm blared causing the two of them to abruptly end their kiss. 

Lips swollen and faces red, the pair smile at each other. Buck walks out first going to get his turnout gear. Eddie replays what just happened in his head again, fingers coming up to touch his lips- the same place Buck’s lips were only a moment ago. He stepped out and got his gear as well. They all loaded onto the truck, the drive was quiet except for Bobby giving them instructions. 

“Hey man, how was your weekend ?” Chim breaks the silence. 

Eddie's chest drops as does the smile from his face. 

He had forgotten all about Ana during the brief time he spent with Buck. Everyone noticed the drop in conversation, all eyes in the truck burning into Eddie, waiting for his answer. Buck noticed the change in expression, he went from being happy to a state of worry. 

“It was fine.” The three words would be the beginning of the downfall of their friendship in the upcoming weeks.
