Eddie bit the inside of his cheek to not say something he would probably regret later. He had no idea how many times he had told Ana to call him Eddie but she still persisted with using Edmundo.
The only people he allowed to call him Edmundo were his parents, his Abuela and Tia. He didn’t really mind it when Buck did it either but he only did it when he was going to say something really serious or to get Eddie to pay close attention, like Eddie had done with the whole ‘Because, Evan…’.
But with Ana it just rubbed him the wrong way.
It was the biggest fucking turn off ever. Especially when he remembered that the first time she had said his name it was in conjunction with her mentioning her grandfather having the same name.
And honestly, Eddie wasn’t really sexually attracted to Ana anyway. Sure, she was beautiful and graceful and someone his parents would love, but Eddie never felt anything for her. No heat in his blood, no stirring in his pants, no need to jerk off after a date, nothing.
“Edmundo, are you listening to me?” Ana sounded annoyed.
Eddie had had enough and answered blandly. “No, Analia, I'm not.”
“Edmundo!” Ana gasped dramatically and Eddie just wanted to scoff. “You know I don’t like people using my full name.”
“And I've told you to stop calling me Edmundo, repeatedly but you don’t seem to listen.” Eddie groaned, he was so done with all the drama.
“That’s not the same thing,” Ana huffed and crossed her arms.
“How is that not the same thing?” Eddie felt annoyed and confused.
“Only my parents call me Analia,” Ana stuck her nose in the air.
“And only my family calls me Edmundo,” Eddie glared slightly.
Ana scoffed. “I've heard Buck call you Edmundo too, so don’t lie to me.”
Eddie frowned, what was with her saying Buck’s name in that sort of tone, like it gave her a bad taste or something.
“As I said, only family call me by my full name,” Eddie repeated slowly.
“Buck isn’t your family,” Ana sneered.
“Yes he is,” Eddie declared strongly. “He is Christopher’s other parent and he will always be family.”
“Oh, please,” Ana scoffed again before getting a cruel glint in her eyes. “If you knew what I know you would be as disgusted with him as I am and you would hate him.”
“There is nothing in this world that could make me hate or be disgusted by Buck,” Eddie told her truthfully.
“He's in love with you,” Ana smirked like she just proved Eddie wrong.
“What?” Eddie froze.
That couldn’t be true, could it? Buck didn’t have feelings for him, right? Eddie would have noticed if he did. If what Ana said was true, which Eddie wasn’t sure it was, then Eddie's feelings weren’t unrequited and that would be… amazing.
“Buck is in love with you,” Ana said again, an ugly look on her face. “I heard him talking to his sister about it.”
Eddie felt the butterflies in his stomach, the butterflies that always fluttered about when Buck was around, start doing somersaults. He couldn’t stop the hope building in his chest at the thought of Buck feeling the same way.
“It’s disgusting,” Ana continued with a sneer. “If it was up to me he shouldn’t be allowed near others, you never know if he’ll infect them with his perversions.”
Eddie stood up and started picking up his things. He couldn’t believe he had missed the hateful, ugly person Ana was hiding. Or was she even hiding it? Had Eddie just been ignoring it because he wanted to please his parents or something?
“What are you doing?” Ana huffed.
“I'm going home. I can't do this anymore,” Eddie shook his head as he shoved his phone into his pocket.
“Do what?” Ana looked confused.
“This!” Eddie gestured between himself and Ana. “We’re over and I don’t want to stay friends.”
“You can't just break up with me!” Ana screeched. “I'm your girlfriend!”
“Yes I can and not anymore you're not,” Eddie walked towards the door. “I can't believe I didn’t notice how narrow minded and hateful you are.”
“Is this about Buck?!” Ana shouted at him. “Homosexuality is a disease that should be eradicated!”
“Homosexuality is one of the most natural things in the world, you dumbass!” Eddie argued back, feeling his temper rise. “And for your information, I'm Bi with a leaning towards men.”
“What? No you’re not!” Ana huffed. “And homosexuality isn’t natural.”
“Yes it is!” Eddie wanted to bang his head against the wall. “You can find homosexual relationships all throughout the animal kingdom. Pinguins, Swans, bears, baboons, cats, dogs, giraffes… Do you want me to continue?”
“Those are false,” Ana huffed imperiously. “Rumors made by gay people to get sympathy.”
Eddie just looked at her in disbelief before he slowly said. “You are an idiot.”
He didn’t stay to hear her response, he just walked out to his car and drove off. He wanted to drive straight to Buck's place and tell him he was in love with him but he knew that wasn’t fair to Buck. Instead he drove home and decided to have a movie night with Christopher, and maybe he could ask Buck out on Thursday while they were on shift.
‘Yeah, that would work,’ Eddie thought with a bright smile.
***
Ana was fuming. What the hell just happened?!
She really wasn’t expecting this. Edmundo didn’t just break up with her because she told him that his disgusting so-called best friend was in love with him.
Homosexuality was wrong! She knew that her views had merit. She knew!
Evan, she refused to call him Buck, must have infected her sweet Edmundo with his perversions somehow. God, she just wanted the man away from her boyfriend and Christopher, her future son, so she had told Edmundo about what she heard.
How could she have known that her sweet Edmundo had already been infected by Evan’s perversities. No, he wasn’t infected, he was just blinded by their friendship or something.
On another point, she really hadn't expected to hear Edmundo to use her full name. That was very rude. Only her family was allowed to call her by her full name and no matter what Edmundo said it wasn’t the same thing between the two of them.
This was all Evan’s fault and she wouldn’t stand for this!
Edmundo was hers and she would prove to him that dumping her was the biggest mistake he had ever made.
***
Eddie was both giddy and nervous as he walked into work on Thursday.
Today was the day.
Today he would ask Buck out and the answer would either break or make Eddie's day. He had talked to Christopher about it, asking him what he thought about Eddie asking Buck out and then asking if Buck wanted to be his boyfriend and Christopher had looked so happy.
He had hugged Eddie and beamed as he said it was about time and that he had been trying to get Eddie and Buck together since the time Buck took care of Eddie and Christopher after Eddie had gotten sick in the aftermath of being trapped down a well.
Not that Christopher knew the details, just that Eddie had gotten sick.
“What got you in such a good mood today?” Hen asked as Eddie walked up into the loft at the station.
“I'm just having a good day, that’s all,” Eddie smiled brightly.
“Did you and Ana have some fun yesterday?” Chim asked as he wiggled his eyebrow.
“I broke up with Ana on Sunday,” Eddie shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal.
“Oh, I'm sorry,” Bobby said sympathetically.
“I'm not,” Eddie chuckled before his whole face lit up when Buck walked over.
“Hey Buck.”
“Hi Eddie.” Buck smiled back.
On Monday Eddie had called Buck and told him about breaking up with Ana and they had spent a few hours just talking about nothing in particular. They had made plans to take Christopher to the Zoo next week and Buck had asked if Eddie wanted to help him look for a new blender because apparently Albert had somehow managed to ruin the one Buck had.
Buck walked over to the coffee and for once Eddie didn’t stop himself from looking at his ass as he walked. Something Eddie had noticed early on in his crush on Buck was that Buck walked with a very seductive sway to his hips.
“You're drooling,” Hen whispered to him with a smirk before walking away.
Eddie just shrugged, a happy smile on his face as he walked over to join Buck by the coffee. He was about to open his mouth and ask the important question but the fucking alarm had to ring and they were on the move.
Luckily, the call was a quick one. It was just a kid who had been dared to climb up on the roof of an abandoned building and could find a way down again. Buck had climbed the ladder and gotten the kid who had stared at Buck's arms the whole time. Eddie even thought there was a bit of drool on the kid's face, not that he blamed the kid for that, and then when they were finally on the ground they had quickly run off, giggling and throwing looks at Buck as they ran.
“I think you have some admirers there, Buckaroo,” Hen laughed as they came back to the station.
“Nah, the kid was just grateful for the help,” Buck chuckled with a slight blush before they all walked up to the loft again so that Bobby could make lunch.
They are all just sitting around and goofing off while they wait for lunch to be served when Eddie decided to speak up. “Hey, Buck, can I ask you something?”
“You can ask me anything,” Buck smiled brightly.
“Are you doing anything on Friday night?” Eddie felt his heartbeat quicken and the butterflies in his stomach go crazy.
“I was just going to do some laundry and watch cooking shows,” Buck shrugged before laughing a little. “I know, such an interesting Friday night. Why do you ask?”
“Would you like to go out? With me? On a date?” Eddie knew the questions came choppy and quick but he was so nervous.
Buck just looked at him with wide eyes and Eddie thought he had screwed up, an apology on the tip of his tongue when Buck's face lit up with the brightest smile Eddie had ever seen. He was certain that if the sun stopped shining right now it wouldn’t matter because Buck would light up the world.
“I would love too!” Buck exclaimed before blushing. “What did you have in mind?”
“I was thinking we could go to dinner at that little Italian place downtown and then a walk on the beach?” Eddie offered.
Truthfully, the idea of the dinner and walk on the beach had been Christopher’s idea and Eddie had thought they were great. Neither him or Buck liked getting dressed up in suits to eat minuscule portions that cost an arm or a leg. And, of course, the Italian place was one of Buck's favorites, so that had been an easy choice.
“Buck, come help me with this!” Bobby called out from the stove.
“Be right there!” Buck called back before he turned to smile at Eddie. “Friday night?”
“Friday night.” Eddie confirmed with a happy grin.
“Looking forward to it,” Buck kissed him on the cheek with a shy smile before bounding over to help Bobby.
***
On the Sunday after Eddie's and Buck's date the pair walked into the station holding hands and with happy smiles on their faces. Eddie couldn’t believe how lucky he was. Friday night had been amazing, and the date had ended with Eddie and Buck sharing a soft kiss outside of Buck's place as Eddie dropped him off.
On Saturday they had met up to take Christopher to the park and then to lunch and ice cream, spending the day as a family, and Eddie had never felt happier or more free than he had then.
“Well, hello there, love birds,” Chim chuckled at them as they met in the middle of the truck bay. “Don’t you look all happy and in love?”
“Is that jealousy I hear?” Eddie asked but the smile never left his face.
“I’ll go put our bags in the locker room,” Buck offered before kissing Eddie on the cheek and walking off.
The rest of the morning was calm, no major calls or big accidents. They were all in a good mood, happily talking and laughing together until after lunch. Eddie was doing the dishes after they had all eaten when quick footsteps made their way up the stairs to the loft.
He turned around just in time to see Ana Flores slapping Buck across the face, twice, before she started screaming.
“He was MINE until you came and ruined it!” Ana screamed and slapped Buck again which made the rest unfreeze and rush forward. “You just had to infect him with your disgusting disease!”
“What the hell are you talking about, lady?!” Hen, who had grabbed Ana, asked, sounding pissed.
“He infected my sweet Edmundo with his perversions!” Ana screeched and kicked out, managing to land a kick to Buck's bad leg.
Buck fell to the floor with a pained curse as he bit back a scream. She had somehow managed to kick in just the perfect spot to make fire race through his leg and up towards his hip.
Eddie rushed to Buck's side, trying to do his best to help even as he glared at Ana.
“What are you talking about, you crazy bitch?” Hen asked as she got help from Rodriguez to hold Ana.
“Evan infected my sweet Edmundo with homosexuality!” Ana spat the last word like it left a bad taste in her mouth.
“Homosexuality isn’t a disease!” Eddie shouted back as he helped Buck back on his feet.
“Yes it is!” Ana said before her voice turned soft as she looked at Eddie. “If you just come with me I have a friend who can help you, who can cure you.”
“Oh, someone better hold me back before I do something I probably won't regret,” Hen growled as she let Rodriguez take Ana.
“Walker, call dispatch and ask them to send an officer,” Eddie heard Bobby say quietly to Walker before turning to Ana. “Miss. Flores, I would kindly ask you to calm down.”
“How can I calm down when that disease ridden mutt is all over my sweet Edmundo!” Ana shouted as she kicked towards Buck again.
“I’ll say it again; Homosexuality isn’t a disease!” Hen sneered as she glared at the raving woman.
“How else would you explain that?” Ana asked with a scoff.
“Explain what?” Bobby asked calmly but anyone who knew him could tell he was getting angry.
“My sweet Edmundo, leaving me for that,” Ana sneered at Buck. “Have you seen that? Its not that attractive and Its been marked by the Devil.”
After saying the last part Ana spit at Buck who flinched as the saliva landed on his cheek.
“First of all; I am not your anything,” Eddie said in a dark voice as he stepped in front of Buck. “Second: I happen to like Buck's birthmark. Truthfully, I find it very attractive and kissable.”
“And third;” Athena’s voice came from behind Ana. “If you ever call my boy ‘It’ again, I’ll make you disappear.”
“What?” Ana looked confused.
“Ana Flores, you are under arrest for assault,” The officer beside Athena stepped forward and slapped the cuffs on Ana. “You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.”
“Are you alright, baby?” Athena stepped towards Buck as Ana was led away.
“I-I-I don’t know,” Buck admitted slowly.
“Come on, let's go up to the loft for some hot cocoa,” Athena smiled kindly.
Buck smiled back and made to move but the moment he tried to put weight on his bad leg, pain shot up and made his knee buckle.
“Fuck!” Buck hissed and leaned against Eddie, then he looked up at Bobby with fear in his eyes. “Pops, I think somethings wrong.”
“Do you need to go to the hospital?” Bobby asked calmly with a worried frown.
“I hope not,” Buck murmured. “But I'm going to let either Hen or Chim decide on that after they’ve checked my leg.”
“On it, buckaroo,” Hen said and went to get a medical bag from the ambo as Chim got a chair for Buck to sit on.
The moment Hen pulled Buck's pant leg up there was a collective wince from the gathered firefighters. The whole of Buck's lower leg was blue, almost black, and Hen just needed to touch it slightly to make Buck groan.
“Sorry kid, but I would feel better if you went to the hospital,” Hen said as she looked up at Buck.
“I agree with her,” Chim nodded. “It could just be that she managed to hit in just the precise spot to damage a blood vessel but better safe than sorry.”
“I’ll drive you and I’ll stay with you until you can either go home or Eddie can come take my place after his shift is finished,” Athena offered. “I'm off for the day anyway.”
“I wouldn’t want to be a bother,” Buck murmured embarrassingly.
“You are not a bother, baby,” Athena assured before turning to Eddie and Bobby.
“Help him get to my car.”
Eddie kissed Buck softly before closing the door and stepping back as Athena drove away with him towards the hospital. He had real fucking bad luck when it came to women, didn’t he?
First there was Shannon who left and came back and was going to leave again. And now there was Ana who turned out to be a complete basket case.
He was so happy to have found Buck. And sure, Buck wasn’t perfect. Especially when he would text Eddie in the middle of the night just to tell him about something cool he had read on Wikipedia.
But at the same time Buck was perfectly imperfect to Eddie. They were two sides of the same coin. Yin and yang. Light and dark. The sun and the moon. And Eddie was going to stop there. Since when had he turned so… sappy?
***
“I can believe that she managed to hit both a nerve and a blood vessel,” Buck groaned as Eddie helped him down on the couch.
“At least you only have to have your leg wrapped for a few days,” Eddie consoled as he took Buck's crutches.
“Chris is going to be so excited that we’re both on crutches until he figures out I'm hurt,” Buck smiled slightly.
“Yeah, then he's just going to take care of you,” Eddie nodded along. “Wrapping you up in blankets and feeding you sweets.”
“The sweets mostly because he knows that if I get to eat sweets then so does he,” Buck looked at Eddie and they laughed.
“How about we order some pizza and then watch something?” Eddie offered after they had calmed down. “Chris is at a sleepover and I won't have to pick him up until noon tomorrow.”
“Pizza sounds great,” Buck nodded happily. “But what should we watch?”
“Ever seen American Horror Story?” Eddie asked as he pulled out his phone.
“No, but I've heard good things about the first season,” Buck tilted his head to the side.
“I've never watched it either,” Eddie admitted. “So what say you?”
Buck looked at him for a while before exclaiming. “Did you just quote Lord of the Rings?”
“I might’ve,” Eddie looked away with a blush.
“Oh, my God,” Buck almost cooed. “That’s adorable. You quoted your favorite movie.”
“Shut up,” Eddie chuckled and hit Buck with a pillow.
“You can't hit me, I'm injured,” Buck protested with a laugh.
“Just cue up the series,” Eddie shook his head in amusement as he called to order the pizza.
They are in the middle of the fourth episode of the first season of American Horror Story when Eddie started rubbing Buck's thigh absentmindedly. He doesn’t even notice that his hand gets closer and closer to Buck's twitching dick with every pass.
“Eddie, please,” Buck whispered softly as his hips twitch and Eddie finally clued in on what he was doing.
“Oh, I'm so sorry,” Eddie said and pulled his hand away.
Buck gave a pitiful whine and pushed his hips upwards slightly. “No, please don’t stop.”
Eddie felt a smile make its way onto his face as he slowly brought his hand back and started to rub Buck through his jeans. “I really wasn’t doing it on purpose.”
“Don’t care, it feels good,” Buck murmured, his eyes closed. “Harder, please.”
“I have a better idea,” Eddie declared and gently pushed Buck's legs off his lap.
“What?” Buck looked at him with confusion.
Eddie just smiled widely as he saw the confusion turn to desire when Eddie sank to his knees between Buck's legs.
“Eddie,” Buck groaned as Eddie opened his pants and pulled them and his underwear down and off.
“Now you have a choice,” Eddie murmured, lips brushing against Buck's shaft. “I can suck you off and you can cum in my mouth or I can suck you off but keep you from cuming until I fuck you. Your choice.”
“Option…” Buck broke off on a moan as Eddie sucked on the head. “Option 2. Want you to fuck me.”
Eddie looked up at Buck with a smirk before he deepthroated Buck in one swift move. Buck arched off the couch with a scream, feeling like he had been electrocuted with pleasure.
“Eddie…” Buck whined high pitched.
If he could Eddie would smile but his mouth was a bit preoccupied so he settled for humming, making Buck writhe on the couch. He set a fast pace, sucking, licking and bobbing, bringing Buck to the edge faster than he normally would, but he had planned.
“Eds… I'm gonna…” Buck moaned as his whole body tensed.
“Oh, no you don’t,” Eddie pulled back and wrapped a hand around the base of Buck's cock, preventing him from cuming.
“Nooo…” Buck looked at Eddie with sad eyes.
“It was your choice, my love,” Eddie smirked.
Buck's eyes went from sad to devious in a second. “Come on then, take me to bed.”
“So demanding,” Eddie tutted but lifted Buck from the couch and carried him towards the bedroom.
“This really shouldn’t be as hot as it is,” Buck murmured as he sucked at Eddie’s neck.
“What?” Eddie hummed with a smile.
“You can manhandle me,” Buck whispered. “Is it weird that I find that to be a really big turn on?”
“No, it’s not weird at all,” Eddie assured. “And it’s quite lucky that I like manhandling you.”
“Like two puzzle pieces,” Buck muttered softly.
“Huh?” Eddie asked as he lowered Buck to the bed.
“Just something Maddie said,” Buck explained with a small shy smile. “She said that you and I are like two puzzle pieces, fitting together to make something complete.”
Eddie found that fitting but he couldn’t help but sass, “So my peg in your hole, then?”
Buck burst out laughing, just as Eddie had planned. While he laughed Eddie went all sneaky and pulled out the lube from the bedside table and with a smirk he rubbed a lubed finger against Buck’s hole.
Buck's laughter switched to a moan quite abruptly and Eddie chuckled.
“You are so beautiful like this,” Eddie murmured softly. “All happy and pliant. You would let me do anything I wanted.”
“Yeah,” Buck nodded breathlessly. “I trust you.”
Eddie leaned forward and kissed Buck, deeply and passionately, as he slowly sank a finger into him. He loved how responsive Buck was, body always showing how much he liked something.
They hadn't been having sex for long, only a couple of days, but it always felt like they had been doing it for years at the same time as it felt like it was their first time again. One thing they had learned was that Eddie preferred topping while Buck preferred bottoming, puzzle pieces were an accurate description, but sometimes Eddie just wanted to let go and be taken care of and those times Buck stepped up and topped, always in a slow loving way that made Eddie’s insides turn to goo.
“More,” Buck moaned as he did his best to fuck himself on Eddie's finger.
“As you wish,” Eddie murmured and added a second finger, feeling his dick throb as Buck whined in pleasure.
“Feels so good,” Buck murmured as his hips twitched and he played with his own nipple.
“One day I wanna see how much you can take,” Eddie murmured, adding a third finger. “Maybe you could take my whole hand? You’d look so pretty on my fist…”
“Eddie, Eddie, Eddie...” Buck felt heat like a fire in his stomach at the idea. “I'm so close… please…”
“Not yet,” Eddie said before a devious smirk took over his face.
With a swift movement Eddie had wrapped his hand tightly around the base of Buck's cock and pressed his fingers hard against his prostate.
Buck screamed and twisted on the bed, his whole body shaking like he had a powerful orgasm and Eddie had to shift to relieve some pressure against his own dick.
“Eddie,” Buck gasped out as he finally came down from his high, blinking lust blown eyes open to look at Eddie.
“Did you just cum?” Eddie whispered with reverence.
“I-I think so,” Buck panted, hips still twitching a little.
“That is so hot,” Eddie murmured as he quickly pulled his fingers out and lubed himself up before pausing. “Do you still want me to fuck you or do you want me to cum on you instead?”
“Fuck me, please,” Buck smiled. “I feel… oversensitive, but I'm loving it.”
“Hard and fast or slow and deep?” Eddie asked as he lined himself up.
“Hard and fast,” Buck wrapped his legs around Eddie's waist. “Don’t think I’ll last long.”
“I love you,” Eddie whispered in Buck's ear before slamming into Buck.
“Oh God!” Buck screamed and tightened his legs around Eddie. “So good, so full.”
Eddie set a rough pace, pulling out and slamming in with force, chasing his release while at the same time trying to make sure Buck would cum first. The only thing coming from Buck was pleading noises intermittent with Eddie's name.
“Eddie… gonna cum…” Buck sobbed, his short nails digging into Eddie's back.
The pain from Buck's nails just heightened Eddie's pleasure and he growled in Buck's ear, “Cum for me.”
Buck's whole body tightened as he screamed his release to the ceiling. The tightening around Eddie's cock was the last straw and he bit into Buck's shoulder as he came, black spots dancing across his vision.
Eddie had no idea how long he laid across Buck's chest, panting and tingling from the intense orgasm he had just had. He pulled back slowly, noticing that Buck was out of it.
“Evan, you okay?” Eddie stroked a soft hand through Buck's hair.
“Ghuh,” Buck hummed as dopey smile made its way onto his face. “I'm perfect, all floaty and tingly.”
Eddie smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth before he started pulling back.
“No,” Buck whined and tried to tighten his legs around Eddie to keep him there but it was like his body was made of rubber. “Stay in me.”
“I need to clean us up, cariño,” Eddie murmured, placing soft kisses along Buck's neck.
“Not yet,” Buck protested.
“I guess we can stay like this for a few minutes,” Eddie agreed and relaxed against Buck's chest.
“Love you,” Buck murmured softly.
“I love you too,” Eddie mumbled back before closing his eyes. A few minutes of rest wouldn’t hurt…
