Summary
“This is becoming a habit,” Buck says the next night, as he scrubs at the poor abused centre cushion on his couch for the third time that week. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were doing this on purpose.”
Buck laughs at his own joke, but Eddie chokes on air.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Eddie insists, clearly sounding defensive despite his best efforts otherwise. “That’s—that’s ridiculous,” he finishes weakly.
Buck pauses in his scrubbing.
“Eddie—”
“I’m gonna go to bed,” Eddie interjects, already heading off down the hallway to avoid Buck’s gaze. “I’ll see you in there.”
He resists the urge to facepalm as he realises he’s just invited himself into Buck’s bed tonight, but it’s too late to backtrack now.

(Buck's couch suffers because Eddie refuses to ask Buck if they can share his bed.)

Summary
Pins and needles swept down Eddie's arms and through the tips of his fingers in a flush of heat, then cold.
Breath suddenly coming fast, he shook out his hands, starting to turn away, but not before Buck caught his shoulder, concerned.
“Eddie, are you okay? You’re shaking.”
Eddie looked down at himself. He was. Pretty violently, actually.
“Huh. Yeah,” Eddie pulled in a breath, clenching his hands and releasing them, “must be banked adrenaline. I…I really thought I’d have to carry you out of here.” His throat tightened around the words. There was a buzzing in his ears.
Panic, he realized, delayed panic.or, an 8x18 earthquake spec fic because I want Buck under!that!concrete!

Summary
Eddie's sick of personal, intrusive questions about his love life whenever he visits his family, so he starts bringing Buck for the holidays as his (fake) boyfriend. He only wants to shut them up, and doesn't expect that the small crush he has on his best friend could actually turn into something more...

Summary
Five times Eddie gives Buck what he's missing in his relationship with Tommy, platonically.
Plus the one time it's not platonic at all.Or: five times Tommy is a terrible boyfriend to Buck and Buck goes to the one man who will treat him right. Eddie is a good friend, until he is something more than that.

Summary
When the 118 find out about Buck’s secret thirst account on Instagram – to raise fire safety awareness, obviously – they make fun of him the appropriate amount and move on. Eddie, who has had some recent and birthmark-shaped revelations about his feelings, finds it a little harder to do the same.
Of course, Eddie would never invade Buck’s privacy by searching for and finding the anonymous account. Or looking at all the uploaded photos late at night. Or even directly messaging Buck’s secret account. That would be weird, because he’s certainly not planning on doing anything about his newfound attraction.
However, anonymous account @elbombero118 has no such limitations.
