Work Text:
Eddie throws his phone down onto his bunk, leaving Tommy’s message unopened. Tonight’s show was amazing, the energy stronger than anything they’d felt so far on this tour, and Eddie wants to ride that high. He’s not prepared for the crash back down to Earth that will happen when he has to answer Tommy.
He heads to the back of the tour bus. On certain buses, the back is set up like a real bedroom with a normal size bed. But they opt to all have a bunk and leave the back as a living area where they can all hang out. Eddie peaks his head inside. Lucy and Ravi are playing a vicious game of mario kart while Chimney watches, a handful of popcorn halfway up to his face. Lucy pauses the game when she sees the look on his face.
He must still look a little off from Tommy’s message, because she asks, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!” he says quickly. That’s a conversation for later. “Well, actually, Buck’s coming over, so…” Eddie trails off, hoping they get the hint.
Lucy smirks but doesn’t move from her spot on the couch. “So what?”
Eddie huffs. “Can we have the bus to ourselves for a while?”
They all start to laugh, louder than normal from the way their ears are still ringing from the show.
“Oh you want us to leave the bus so you can hook up with your hot new photographer boyfriend? I don’t know, guys, is that something we should do?” Chimney gestures to Ravi and Lucy, who are both grinning wide.
“Please, you guys have to go, he’s already on his way over.” Eddie grabs the remote and turns the television off, grabbing Chimney’s bag of popcorn and throwing what’s left of it onto a side table.
“Well can’t we wait till he gets here? We want to say hi!” Ravi says.
Eddie grabs one of Ravi’s arms and one of Lucy’s and begins to drag them to the front of the bus. It’s like wrangling toddlers, he swears, both of them giggling and ruffling his hair.
There’s a knock at the bus door.
“I’ll get it!” Lucy volunteers.
“No!” Eddie tries to tighten his grip but she pulls away and swings the door open, smiling at Buck.
“I still need my shoes,” Ravi points out as Eddie keeps prodding him towards the door.
Eddie grabs his sneakers and shoves them into his hands. Lucy’s let Buck in and is mercifully waiting at the front door, holding it open for Ravi and Chimney.
“We’ll be back in an hour,” Chimney warns. “We’ll go hang out with the crew for a bit.”
Eddie shudders to think of what gossip will be speculated between his bandmates and the crew, who surely noticed Buck sneaking over to the band’s bus as well. Whatever. That’s another thing he’ll worry about in the morning. Right now, he doesn’t want to think about anything besides Buck. He wants to lose himself in Buck, while he still can.
“Okay, thanks guys, bye!” Eddie gives them all one last shove out the front door. Something knocks into the side of his face but he ignores it, slamming the door closed and locking it.
He turns to see Buck kneeling on the floor. When he stands back up, there’s a foil packet pinched between two of his fingers.
A condom. One of those fucking degenerates threw a condom at his head.
Eddie snatches it out of Buck’s hand and tosses it onto the counter of their kitchenette area.
“Sorry about that, about them. They’re a lot sometimes.” Eddie tries to wipe his hands on his
jeans while he talks. He’s nervous , way more than he expected to be when he asked Buck to come over. Everything seems easy with Buck when he thinks about it, but when he’s actually with Buck, pinned in place by his bright eyes and slightly crooked smile… Well, he kind of forgets how to function.
“It’s okay! Really, I don’t mind. I think it’s nice to have so many close friends like that. It’s obvious how much you all care for each other…” Buck trails off, smiling when he notices the open video game case on the table. “Mario Kart?”
“Yeah! You wanna play?”
“Did you really invite me over and kick your bandmates out so we could play Mario Kart?”
Eddie’s blushing , he knows he is. He can feel the heat in his own cheeks, and it’s silly because Buck’s right. That’s not why he invited Buck over, and they both know it.
“Not exactly,” Eddie admits. He reaches out and takes Buck’s hand and pulls him back into the living room area. There’s a sliding curtain that separates it from the rest of the bus. Eddie pulls that shut and checks to make sure the covers are pulled over all of the back windows. Then he bends down and starts prodding the pillows on the couch, trying to get them to sit just right, and–
“Eddie.” Buck’s voice, deeper and softer than he’s ever heard it.
Eddie swallows thickly and turns back around to face Buck, who’s closer now then he was before.
“Yeah?”
Buck traces a finger up his arm. “I really want to be with you.”
Eddie can’t help the way his breath catches. He leans forward a bit, letting his head fall to Buck’s shoulder. “You make me nervous,” he admits. “I don’t want to mess this up.”
He feels Buck’s smile against his cheek, feels Buck’s hand sliding through his hair. “Cool rockstar like you? How could you mess this up?” Buck teases.
Eddie grins into the side of his neck. “That’s all just a show. You know that now.”
Buck sighs. “You won’t mess this up. I promise. Now will you kiss me?” He touches the bottom of Eddie’s chin lightly, lifting until Eddie meets his gaze. “Please?
Eddie lifts his head the slightest bit, and Buck’s mouth is right there, warm and ready and waiting. He melts into him immediately, any reservations he’d had flying out the window. This is exactly what he needs right now.
Eddie pushes forward, walking Buck backwards until they fall onto the closest couch. Eddie straddles him, trying to lose himself in all of it: the slide of Buck’s tongue against his, the way Buck’s hand is gripping his hair, pulling just enough to send chills down Eddie’s spine.
“Tell me what you want,” Eddie says softly, breath hot against Buck’s neck, who arches into him when he starts placing open-mouthed kisses across the flushed skin there.
They don’t have a ton of time, and they’ve never gone further than making out. Eddie really doesn’t want their first time to be on a couch, but he’ll give Buck whatever he wants.
Buck seems to understand everything without Eddie saying a word, though, as usual.
He grabs a fistful of Eddie’s t-shirt and pulls him into another kiss, rolling his hips once as a sort of question.
Eddie groans into his mouth. He wants more one day, one day soon, but this is perfect for now.
“Shirts off,” he mumbles between kisses, tugging at the hem of Buck’s shirt. They have time for this. He leans back just enough for Buck to get his hand between them and tug his own shirt off, tossing it on the floor without looking to see where it lands. Buck grabs the bottom of Eddie’s shirt before Eddie has a chance, pulling it off too.
“Better?” Buck asks.
Eddie reattaches their mouths in answer. He slides a hand up Buck’s chest, pinching one of Buck’s nipples just hard enough to make his hips jolt. Buck moans, and Eddie’s extremely glad that they’re doing this on a bus they have all to themselves.
Eddie grinds his hips down again. Buck grabs at the waistband of his jeans, pulling a little frantically. Eddie stands quickly and undoes his belt, pulling it through the loops and shoving his jeans off. Buck watches him with heavy-lidded eyes, his gaze lingering on the belt a moment longer.
Eddie kneels over him again and brushes his thumb over the bright pink flush of Buck’s cheeks. “You like that, baby? Can I take yours off now?”
Buck swallows thickly and nods. God, his curls are a mess, and there’s a faint red mark blossoming on the side of his neck that they’ll definitely be teased for later.
Eddie backs off and guides Buck to lay down on the couch, untying his sweatpants and sliding them down his hips, and–
Well. Eddie had expected Buck to be big, Buck’s a big person in general. But Buck isn’t wearing any underwear, so he can see everything now, and his expectations hadn’t prepared him for this.
“Like what you see?” Buck jokes, settling into the couch cushions and arching a bit like he’s showing off. Eddie can tell he’s nervous, though.
Eddie lowers himself back over Buck, reveling in every place their heated skin connects.
“You know I do,” he promises, and kisses Buck again. Buck bites at Eddie’s lower lip, smiling into their kiss when Eddie’s hips jerk.
Buck lets his legs fall open a little wider, an invitation. Eddie stops holding himself back. He braces one arm beside Buck’s head and winds the other into his hair, pulling just a bit. He remembers their time limit distantly and starts grinding down at a ruthless pace.
He should’ve known Buck would be noisy. Eddie tries to keep their mouths together, swallowing as many of Buck’s noises as he can.
“I’m not gonna last long,” Buck mumbles against Eddie’s mouth, breathing ragged.
“S’okay,” Eddie promises. Truthfully, he won’t either. He hasn’t been with anyone since he met Buck.
Eddie puts weight on the arm next to Buck’s head and lifts himself up a bit, taking in the scene below him. There’s a few blonde curls plastered to Buck’s face, cheeks flushed, eyes wide as they trace their way down Eddie’s torso. Buck’s watching the way his abs flex and relax with every thrust of his hips, reaching a hand out to feel them.
Eddie grabs Buck’s hand by the wrist and pushes it down to the couch arm behind Buck’s head, holding him in place as he quickens his pace.
Buck’s eyes fly close and he whines . He’s thrusting up against Eddie now, seeking out any extra friction he can get. Eddie leans in close and puts his mouth up against Buck’s ear.
“I know you wanna come for me, baby,” he says, and watches as Buck comes apart beneath him.
Buck’s hips finally still, dropping back to the couch as he pants. “ Fuck .” His eyes fall to where their cocks are still touching, noticing that Eddie’s still hard.
“Come here,” Buck says immediately, trying to pull Eddie up.
Eddie looks at him dubiously. “It’s okay, I can finish myself, I’m sure you’re–”
Buck’s hearing none of it. He helps Eddie out of his underwear before grabbing him by the backs of his thighs and maneuvering them until Eddie’s kneeling over his face.
“Buck, you don’t have to do this,” Eddie tries one more time. He wasn’t expecting them to go this far tonight, and he wants to make sure Buck doesn’t feel pressured.
Buck doesn’t respond. Well, not with words. He kisses the head of Eddie’s cock before guiding it into his mouth and then letting his hands fall down to his sides. He looks up at Eddie through his eyelashes, blinking prettily and nodding in encouragement.
Eddie groans and takes a handful of Buck’s curls again. He starts thrusting gently in and out of Buck’s mouth, making sure he doesn’t go too far in. Buck’s mouth is perfect, hot and warm as he relaxes his jaw and hums around Eddie.
Eddie knows he won’t last long like this. He yanks Buck’s hair until Buck’s head falls back more, so he can look right into Buck’s eyes as he thrusts into his mouth.
“Fuck, you look so pretty like this,” Eddie murmurs. Buck must like that because he moans around Eddie’s cock.
“I’m gonna come,” Eddie warns quickly, trying to pull Buck off, but Buck just moans again and grips tight onto Eddie’s hips, hollowing his cheeks and sucking like he wants –
Eddie throws his head back as he comes hard down Buck’s throat, letting go of Buck’s hair so he doesn’t pull too hard and hurt him. His breathing is ragged. He doesn’t even feel like he’s on the same planet anymore, but he can feel Buck swallowing around him.
Eddie slides back and drops onto the couch, ending up sprawled across Buck’s long legs.
“Are you okay?” he asks between breaths. He’s still trying to wrap his mind around what just happened.
“I’m great,” Buck says, smiling down at him.
Then there’s a knock at the bus door.
“Hey!” It’s Chimney, of course. “I know it hasn’t been an hour yet but honestly I think that was a generous estimate anyway, and a bunch of us are headed out to a bar and we need to come in and get our stuff! You guys can come, too!”
“I think they already did that,” Lucy adds, snickering. Eddie’s going to kill them.
“Um, just a minute!” He shouts. He knows they don’t care and will barge in here, regardless of what state he and Buck are in.
He stands quickly and grabs their shirts off the floor, tossing one to Buck before stepping into his jeans and trying to yank them up. God, he wishes he’d been wearing anything besides skinny jeans.
Buck slides into his sweatpants easily and starts swiping at his hair, trying to tame it. Eddie doesn’t tell him that’s a lost cause.
“Ok, we’re coming in!”
Eddie hears a key turning and gets his jeans buttoned just as the door opens.
Ravi whoops at the sight of his still-shirtless torso, and then laughs when Eddie pulls a shirt on fast.
Eddie looks down and realizes he's mixed up their shirts, and he’s wearing Buck’s. Not that it matters. There probably isn’t anyone left on this tour who doesn’t know what they were up to tonight.
Chimney sighs. “Tell me you didn’t do it on the couch.”
Buck smiles sheepishly, but Eddie just rolls his eyes. “Where else are we supposed to go? We wouldn’t exactly fit on the bunks. Besides, we all know how many times you and Maddie have snuck back here when everyone else is hanging out.”
Buck’s eyes widen. “I did not need to know that.”
“As enlightening as this conversation is, can we all just accept that half of us have utilized the hook-up couch and move on with our night? I’m ready for some shots!”
Lucy grabs her wallet from her bunk and starts for the door, dragging Ravi behind her and motioning for the rest of them to follow.
“You want to go?” Eddie asks Buck. He reaches up to fix an errant curl, letting his touch linger when Buck pushes into it a bit.
“Can we stay here, maybe?’ Buck asks. “I wanna be alone with you a little longer.”
How could Eddie say no to that? He tells the group to go on without them and waves them off their teasing. He and Buck settle back onto the couch and Eddie wraps a blanket over them, smiling when Buck lays his head on Eddie’s chest.
Eddie kisses the top of his head. Yeah, they can stay like this for a while.
