    Summary

    “Chim?” Buck yells loud enough that it bounces off a few cars. “Chim, like, Chimney? You have a crush on… Chimney? As in my sister’s husband?”

    Eddie recoils, startled. “I thought you said you knew?”

    “I… I…” Buck isn’t sure what to say. This changes everything—the entire day rewrites itself, and he sees every single fucking interaction: Eddie fawning over Chimney in the gym. The counter. The calls.

    It was never about Buck.

    “He’s fucking married, Eddie.”

    OR

    Eddie's got a crush, and Buck's handling it as expected.

    Summary

    The realization goes something like this, as Eddie sits under a flapping rainbow pride flag in the bay of the firehouse and studies its colors.

    Red, like his cheeks when Buck smiles at him.

    Orange, like the juice he wishes he'd started drinking years ago.

    Yellow, like the color of Shannon's dress the day she died.

    Green, like the jealousy that strangles him when he thinks about losing Buck.

    Blue, like the color of the most beautiful eyes he knows.

    Violet, like the bruise blooming on Buck's left cheekbone. Right where Eddie wants to place his lips.

    And Eddie thinks, for the first time, that maybe he feels something approaching pride, or something adjacent to it at least, for himself.

    Or; In one Pride Month, Eddie meets an old friend, learns about himself, comes out to people who love him and learns to be proud (in roughly that order).

    Summary

    “What—”

    Buck cuts his own words off with another shuddering gasp as Eddie suddenly pulls him in. He’s compelled to allow Eddie to guide him, complete putty under his control. There’s nowhere else he’d rather be.

    “Weirdo,” is all he hears Eddie mutter fondly under his breath before his lips meet Buck’s.

    It lasts a split second, way too short for Buck to even count the milliseconds, but somehow still, it’s life-changing. A short pressing of lips, breaths exchanged through mouths, and the feeling of knowing this is it. Buck’s ruined for anyone else forever now. No other lips will ever hold a crown to Eddie’s chapped and tequila-tainted ones.

    OR: Eddie drunk-kisses Buck twice, and throws up three times.

    Summary

    “Have I ever told you about Gabriel?” Buck shakes his head.

    “One of your Army buddies?”

    “No, my first kiss.”
    --
    Buck can only hear Helena’s muffled voice from the other side of the phone. He picks up a few words. Chris. Hospital. And Buck feels like he’s suffocating, like all the air has been punched out of his lungs, like he’s being held underwater. He's reliving the tsunami all over again. “Yeah, yeah okay. I’ll be there. Bye, mom.” Eddie is running his shaking hands through his hair, eyes wide. Buck has a panicked look on his face, too scared to speak. He studies Eddie who looks like he’s figuring out how to feel. Buck caresses the crook of Eddie’s arm. That prompts the brunet to speak. “It’s my dad…He had a stroke.”
    --
    Eddie comes out, Ramon has a stroke, and Buck is there to support Eddie through it all as they head to El Paso.
