A/N: This is the last chapter for Love Me Like You Do! I had a wonderful time participating in the Buddie First Kiss event! I truly hope you enjoy this story as much as I do. It's been such an amazing time writing for these two; I love them even more now. Enjoy the conclusion of this fic my friends!

Summary: "You don't find love, you make it," and that's exactly what Eddie and Buck do.

***

After what had happened with Maddie and Chimney, Buck had told Eddie he thought they should go public with their relationship.

Eddie agreed.

They told everyone at the 118, and they got the same response as Maddie had given. There was a lot of the phrase “about time” in there!

Guess they really had been the last to know after all.

Everyone was so happy and so were they.

Eddie couldn’t remember a time he had felt this happy. It all was coming together in a way that made him feel whole. Complete. At home in his own body.

He was so grateful Buck had come into his life, into Christopher’s life.

Eddie loved everything about the guy, especially when he was being his usual silly-Buck-self! He wouldn’t change a thing.

Buck loved with his whole heart; saving people with an inner drive that couldn’t be replicated and was able to see you for exactly who and what you wanted to be.

The guy was the whole package.

And Eddie was so happy that the package had wanted him back.

That’s why when they finally came together, it had been nothing short of a miracle.

Eddie had wanted to do something special, so he transformed his backyard into a wonderland.

He hung twinkling lights up, lit candles everywhere, made a comfortable bed with sleeping pads and bags with lots of pillows and blankets, put out delicious treats, and a single rose because why not?

It was a clear night and the stars were shining brightly within the heavens.

When Buck arrived, Eddie took him around back with an excitement that couldn't be replaced.

Buck froze as he looked at everything, “Wow...Eds, this is amazing.” He looked at Eddie, “What’s the occasion?”

Eddie picked up the rose and handed it to Buck, “You. Us.”

The smile that spread onto Buck’s beautiful face as he smelled the rose was enough to take Eddie’s breath away. It had all been so worth it.

Buck leaned in and pressed his lips onto Eddie’s softly, “I love you.”

“And I love you,” Eddie replied, stroking Buck’s cheek gently. He motioned to the cushioned bed, “Let’s go sit and relax.”

They ate some desserts that Eddie had prepared all by himself. Buck smirked, “Chris would be proud of you for making these.”

“It’s just a chocolate-covered strawberry, sweetheart.”

“Give yourself some credit, babe,” Buck said, “you went all out here.”

They did cheers with their beers and talked for what felt like hours. His favorite thing was how they were still best friends even though they were more, making each other laugh like no one else ever could. Buck was like his other half.

“I’m really glad we told everyone about us,” Eddie expressed as he made himself comfortable scooting further down in the pillows. “Boyfriend.” He loved the sound of that word.

Buck grabbed his hand, “Me too, baby. I’m proud to be with you and I want everyone to know it. Besides, you’re too sexy and I want people to know that this firefighter is taken.”

Eddie put his forehead on Buck’s, “I'm definitely taken.”

“That’s what I like to hear,” Buck laughed, but then stared into Eddie’s eyes as he pulled back slowly. “I’m glad we have this time together. Thank you again for setting all this up. You’re such a romantic, I knew it!”

“I try!” Eddie laughed and bit his lip, “Christopher gets back soon, and I’ll be focusing more on him. So I wanted this time just with you.”

“I cannot wait to see him! But I am grateful for this time together, we’ve been interrupted a lot lately," Buck replied as he rubbed his thumb on Eddie's lower lip.

The way he was doing that and looking at him, made Eddie want to peel all of his clothes off...now. “God, seriously. What’s that about?”

“I have no idea, but I’m over it!”

They both laughed and kissed again. The time the kiss turned into something more.

Eddie believed that their time for being with one another in every way had finally come. There would be no interruptions. Nothing to take them away from this present moment with one another. This was it.

Buck must’ve thought the same thing because he slowly undid the buttons on Eddie’s plaid shirt.

Their hands touched each other in that familiar way, exploring at first, but moving into desire and this craving that would always be there.

“Touch me…” Eddie whispered, and Buck found his hard length. Buck took his time licking and sucking. His hands caressed Eddie’s chest, nails raking down.

Eddie’s hips buckled, but he didn’t come. Buck kept driving him close to the edge but then would pause, making Eddie whimper. He didn't even realize he was making those sounds.

Finally, Eddie came hard, his heel digging into the blankets.

Buck took it all, licking his lips as he had with the strawberries. Even though he had already come, he wanted all of Buck.

It was his turn to caress and grip onto his Buck as he reached down Buck’s pants.

They didn’t speak when it was time, they just smiled and nodded. There had been enough words between them. This was an unspoken connection. Their bodies would take control from this point forward.

Eddie pulled Buck’s pants and underwear off, and kissed his backside, licking Eddie all over.

His boyfriend moaned, gripping the blankets and rolled onto his stomach. Eddie prepared himself with a condom and lubricant so he could finally enter the destination he had so longed to be.

He made sure he primed Buck so he would be ready as well. He took his time with his fingers as Buck cursed and swiveled his hips wildly. It was hot as hell. 

This experience was new to both of them, especially because it was with each other. Eddie realized the moment he entered Buck, there would be no turning back.

He wanted to be with Buck forever.

Finally, he broke that barrier, and they both moaned loudly. It was the greatest feeling Eddie had ever felt, and his eyes filled with tears. He was so happy, so in love, so... all of it.

Eddie moved slowly at first. He leaned against Buck’s back and kissed his neck as he moved gently, letting Buck get used to the feeling and adjust.

Buck was meeting him with every thrust moving back and forth, riding the wave that Eddie was giving him.

Eddie, with one of his hands, turned Buck’s face so he could kiss him. They kissed hungrily as their tongues lapped each other up, begging for more.

“Baby....” Buck moaned as he squeezed his eyes shut, moving faster. He knew Buck was close as he rubbed against that sweet spot from within.

Eddie reached to the front of Buck, moving his hand down his lover's stomach and then gripped onto him tightly. It was enough to send Buck over the edge. The contractions he felt and the trembling of Buck was what brought him there as well, as he yelled out Buck’s name.

It was the most perfect union he’d ever known.

***

They laid in each other’s arms barely moving for a while. Buck looked up at the stars; this was everything he dreamed of when he knew he had fallen in love with Eddie. Now here he was, holding Eddie, the man he loved.

“That was perfect,” Buck breathed out as he turned into Eddie’s shoulder, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Nothing had ever been more perfect. Buck’s body was still tingling, in all the right places. He was trembling slightly from the aftermath.

Eddie pressed his lips onto Buck’s neck and covered them with the blanket. “It was everything.”

“I’m never gonna stop wanting you, just so you know.” It was the truth after all. After they had made love for a long period of time, he was already getting hard again. He wanted more of his love. So much more. In every way. Switching positions. All of it.

“Likewise,” Eddie replied, caressing his fingers lightly on Buck’s arm. “You know you can spend every night here if you want to. I wouldn't be opposed to that.”

“I’m definitely going to take you up on that,” Buck said with a suave grin. He knew it was sudden, but he wanted to move in with the guy. Buck never wanted to leave his side.

He looked over at Eddie and just marveled at the beauty that was Eddie Diaz. His chest glistened in the moonlight. His face was flushed and beautiful. God, he was so in love with this man.

Buck rolled back on top of Eddie, “Ready to go again?”

Eddie exhaled but smiled as he spread his legs far apart, “I thought you’d never ask, mi amor.” His lips met Buck’s again.

This was love. True love. That old man had been right after all; this was the love you make with another person. He had found Eddie, that was true, but if they had never taken advantage of this opportunity to be together in this way, they would still be just two best friends, loving each other from afar.

Now here they were. It didn't end here; it began here. They were going to work for this it every day, but Buck wanted too. Eddie was his life now, and so was Christopher.

This was his family. His home. And one day, he was going to ask Eddie to marry him. That was his vow as he kissed Eddie.

As they made love, again and again, Buck thanked his lucky stars that they had danced with one another at Pride. Taking their relationship to a chapter further along in each of their books; somewhere they had always dreamed they would be.

They had risked and gained it all.

And it all began with a first kiss.

[sunshinexlollipops]

Oh for those sheriff!Arthur headcanons you better believe that if he did marry the whole town shoulder try their best to be supportive but hold a private funeral for their broken hearts. And then when they see what an absolutely beautiful, sweet, kind person Arthur married, they fall in love all over again. People start warning passerbys bit too stay to long or they'll lose their hearts to the infamous couple, WHO ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE ~💚

oops anon my hand slipped. (FOR THE FOURTH TIME.)

when a peculiar stranger comes to town, little does Tumbleweed or Arthur know how much things are gonna be turned upside down.

NOW THIS IS A STORY ALL ‘BOUT HOW

Arthur, ever the gentleman, makes it a point to greet every newcomer personally.

so when our new face is moving into their home and Arthur pays them a friendly visit, the whole town isn’t too surprised.

they ARE surprised however when Arthur completely makes a fool of himself.

usually the man is so suave, and not exactly on purpose. he just has a natural confidence and swagger about himself that he carries, especially after the growth he’s had with Tumbleweed.

but this stranger? throws it out the window.

defenestration at its finest.

Arthur: “I’m the sheriff. Sheriff Morgan. Arthur Morgan, the sheriff. Sheriff of Tumbleweed.”

Stranger, confused: “Uhm. Yes. It seems so.”

Arthur: “I’m the sheriff, so don’t be gettin’ outta trouble.”

Stranger, still confused: “Don’t you mean into trouble?”

Arthur:

the entire town is beside themselves because whathefuckwasthat????

after several episodes of Arthur just completely fumbling like the only words in English he knows are his name and the word sheriff, the town goes into a state of emergency.

it is very obvious that there is something about this stranger that affects Arthur as they do, and they wanna know why.

so, they begin their investigation.

and something quickly becomes evident.

Arthur.

he sweet on them.

about half of the town is thrown into chaos—

“I JUST BOUGHT A RING YESTERDAY FUCKING—“

—and the other half is immediately planning out how to get Arthur his happy ending.

*eHarmony music starts playing*

it is glaringly obvious that Arthur is so sweet on their crush their name should be Fanta.

FANTA FANTA, DONT YOU WANTA—

sad thing is: Arthur does, but he is about as capable of speaking as I was capable of finishing my first playthrough.

newsflash: I didn’t.

newsflash to that newsflash: I had to make a second game and still haven’t finished.

that means it’s bad, okay?

but the town LOVES Fanta.

it may take some people some time to come around bc there is definitely jealousy at first, but it turns out it is really, really, really, really, REALLY hard to hate Fanta.

Fanta loves Tumbleweed and is very involved with the town.

they actually help out with the planning of it, and because of their involvement, the town has prospered with its new growth.

they got a nice little park area by the mansion, there’s a new town hall that looks very nice. the school got a renovation, and they fixed some of the older houses in need of restoration.

any problems in town and they’re on it.

also, knows everyone? on a personal level?

and is just? so kind?

Fanta to small boy in town: “Don’t forget! Your mother’s birthday is on Sunday!”

Small boy: “FUCK—“

and Fanta listens to people’s concerns and desires and tries to make things ideal for everyone.

and soon, people talk about Fanta helping the town as much as Arthur does.

because they make Tumbleweed the one city Arthur doesn’t hate.

AND THAT’S UNHEARD OF.

AND JUST YOU WAIT—

Fanta: “I moved here because of the sheriff. I heard he’s an amazing man.”

Arthur, having overheard ⤵️

the older folks of the town, who treat Arthur as a beloved son (and all hang a photo of Arthur in their house like Jesus selfies in churches), immediately begin their assault on making shit happen.

because, bless him, lord knows Arthur can’t even T A L K right at this point.

Old woman: “Oh, Arthur! My cat seems to have gotten out and climbed Fanta’s tree! What ever shall I do?!”

Arthur: “I... I can go over there.”

*proceeds to only greet himself as the sheriff in six variations before CLIMBING into Fanta’s tree and nearly falling out of it before coming back looking like he wants to test his dead eye on himself*

Arthur: “I’m sorry, miss... it’s not your cat up there. It’s just a bird’s nest.”

Old woman: “Oh mercy me! I’m just a frail old lady, you know! My eye sight is going with my years! Just incapable from my age, I am! However will I get this pie to Fanta????? If only I knew someone who could help!”

Arthur: “.........”

Old woman: 🥧 take the damn pie Arthur :)

the townsfolk are trying their hardest, and slowly but surely, with an usual amount of errands or requests involving Fanta, Arthur begins to grow out of his initial awkwardness.

but I say that in the sense that he’s still awkward asf but he is able to say more than “me Sheriff Morgan, yes?”

and, the townsfolk begin to notice that Fanta begins to like Arthur back and OH—

WE AT TUMBLEWEED LISTEN, AND DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, WE INTRODUCING A BRAND NEW AND IMPROVED FLAVOR OF WHAT YOU LOVE BEST— “RESPECT ARTHUR MORGAN AND FANTA” JUICE. AVAILABLE NOW!

all of Tumbleweed ⤵️

and when Arthur finally grows confident to tell Fanta he’s sweet on them, and Fanta reveals the same?

all of Tumbleweed ⤵️

because say it out loud: the Morgan’s.

• T H E M O R G A N ‘ S.

Fanta meets John and Abigail and Jack and holydeargod these are not tears—

Jack ADORES Fanta and he quickly becomes enraptured with Fanta and the books they own and read to him because as he’s grown, he’s grown into a bookworm.

John also puts a hand on Arthur’s shoulder while they are having a heart to heart, watching Fanta read to Jack alongside Abigail, and he whispers, “Ya finally found ‘em, brother.”

F U CK

anyways :,)

call me a paper clip bc they quickly become the staple of the town.

“Hey, seems like you’re writing some headcanons, need any help—“

but this power couple is adored by EVERYONE.

kids have their first day of school? the Morgan’s are there, greeting each one and making sure they have snacks.

someone is sick? the Morgan’s bring soup and good tidings to get them better.

each night they have dinner in a different household and there is a spot at the table for them both in. every. home.

“THE MORGAN’S ARE COMING OVER TONIGHT AND I BURNT THE PIE.”

when they finally get married, the entire town attends.

and they are all STRAPPING.

because someone is gonna pay more than our national deficit if they fuck this up.

but Fanta, they’re perfect.

and more importantly, perfect for Arthur.

and so Fanta Morgan is quickly heralded as the second best part to the town.

“Oh, you headin’ into Tumbleweed? Careful, the Morgan’s will rob ya of your heart and you’ll thank ‘em for it.”

all of Tumbleweed at least once: “Can’t I just marry them both?”
