[bamfbuddie]

#6 & #7 please!

Here’s the link for 7 :D --> “I love you.” “...go back to sleep.”

6. “Y’know that shampoo that says no more tears?” “Yeah?” “There’s tears.”

“Hey Eddie, you mind if I shower at your place? My fucking shower is messed up and the landlord has yet to get it fixed.” Buck asks after Eddie has let him into the house and grabbed the pizza box from him. 

“Yeah, sure go ahead. I’ll grab you a towel.” Eddie says, leaning into the kiss Buck plants on his cheek before bouncing off towards the bathroom. Eddie rolls his eyes, smiling fondly at Buck’s retreating back. 

He places the box on the counter but before he can go grab the towel he gets a phone call. “Hey Christopher, how’s it going buddy?” Eddie asks leaning against the counter. 

“Hi, daddy! Good! We’re just about to watch a movie but I wanted to say goodnight and I love you just in case I fell asleep during the movie.” Christoper’s says excitedly.

Eddie’s heart melts, how did he get so lucky with a kid like Christopher and a man like Evan? He can’t believe it sometimes and he’s scared he’s going to wake up and find out it was all a dream.

“I love you too, mijo. I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Be safe, okay?” Eddie says.

“I will, good night dad.” 

“Good night, Christopher.” He hangs up with a smile and then goes to give Buck a towel. 

He can hear the shower running as he gets closer to the bathroom. He briefly knocks on the door before walking in. “Buck, I’m putting the towel here.” He says.

“Okay, also…” Buck starts.

“Yeah?” Eddie frowns as he looks towards the shower curtain.

“Y’know the shampoo that says no more tears?” 

“The one Christopher uses?” Eddie asks.

“Yeah…”

“Yeah?”

“There’s tears. They are big fat liars.” He sniffles.

Eddie chuckles. 

“Eddie, it’s not funny! It burns!” Buck complains. 

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. Are you almost done? Come out and let me take a look.” 

“Yeah, I’m done.” Buck says turning the shower off. He reaches his arm out and Eddie passes him the towel. Buck pulls back the curtains, the towel now wrapped around his waist. 

Eddie tries not to look at the water droplets sliding down Buck’s chest and instead looks at Buck’s eyes and sees they are bloodshot.

“Damn, Ev, how much shampoo did you get in there?” Eddie asks as he steps closer to get a better look. 

“I don’t know. I thought I had rinsed it all out but when I opened my eyes they just started burning.” 

“Baby, I think you might be having an allergic reaction. You’re eyes are swelling up. I’ve used Christopher’s shampoo before and that’s never happened to me.” 

Buck groans, “Of course I am, because that’s just my luck.” 

“Hey, it’s okay. We’ll get you some benadryl. It doesn’t look too bad. I think it’s just a minor reaction. How about you get your clothes on and I’ll reheat the pizza and grab you the medication.” 

Buck nods pouting.

Eddie leaves the bathroom and grabs the benadryl out of the cabinet and fills up a glass of water. He takes the pizza out of the box and puts it on a tray before sliding it into the oven. Buck patters into the kitchen after slipping into a pair of Eddie’s shorts forgoing a shirt. 

“Hey, still burning?” Eddie asks.

“Yeah and itchy too now.” 

Eddie hands him the medication and water, “Here, take this. It should help with the itchiness and the swelling.” 

Buck takes it from him and then sits on the barstool so he can still talk to Eddie as they wait for the pizza to reheat. 

After dinner, Buck rests his head against Eddie’s chest as they sit on the couch watching reruns of Friends. They had started watching as a joke and now it’s become their thing. They were always making jokes at one another like the time Eddie and Buck were helping Maddie move into her new place and Eddie had yelled, ‘PIVOT’. Buck had a stitch in his side from laughing so hard he had to put the couch down and take a couple deep breaths before he could breathe properly again. It was then and there Eddie had vowed to always keep Buck laughing. 

Eddie runs a hand through Buck’s hair, checking his face every few hours to make sure his allergy wasn’t getting any worse. It wasn’t, in fact it was getting better. 

“You feeling okay, querido?” Eddie asks.

Buck nods against his chest, “Yeah, just sleepy.” He mumbles.

Eddie nods in understanding, “Yeah baby, you will be. It’s the benadryl.” 

Buck groans, “I’m sorry.” 

Eddie frowns, “Sorry for what, cariño?” 

“I know you were excited we finally got to spend some alone time together. I’m sorry for ruining it. This wasn’t how I expected today to go. Honestly, I was expecting a lot less clothing between us.” Buck slurs.

Eddie lets out a startled chuckle, “Buck, you’re practically naked in my arms right now.” 

“Bu’ you’re not.” Buck says flipping over to his stomach on Eddie’s chest. 

Eddie smiles down at him, “Baby, don’t be so hard on yourself. As long as I have you in my arms I’m happy.” 

“How are you real?” Buck asks with droopy eyelids. “I love you so much.” He murmurs before closing his eyes.

Eddie freezes because shit, Buck just said he loved him. That was the first time he’s said it. But he was half asleep. Does it count? Did he mean to say it? 

“Stop thinking so hard, I meant it.” Buck whispers, eyes still closed.

Eddie relaxes under him, “I… I love you too.” 

Buck smiles and snuggles closer into Eddie. Eddie smiles back and grabs the blanket off the back of the couch and covers them both. He’s very glad they have a big couch and he’s very glad Buck is in his and Christopher’s life. He wraps his arms tightly around Buck and turns the volume down on the T.V. so he could watch without disturbing Buck.
