Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

eddiaz: You miss eggplant? Don't tell me you're thinking of going vegan again!
Eddie looks over the loft, where Buck is lounging on the couch with Ravi in a distracted conversation, his phone still in hand. He notices Buck freeze when his attention snaps to Eddie's message.
Buck meets his gaze across the station, the corners of his mouth turning up in a smirk.
fuckley: the emoji doesn't mean what you think it means.

Buck starts posting thirst traps on his Close Friends story, except, unbeknownst to Eddie, he is the only person on his Close Friends list.Bookmarked by Clemclem

Summary
Eddie wakes up with someone’s arms wrapped around him. Which is very concerning because he went to bed alone last night, like he’s done every night for over a year now.
He scrambles out of the bed, completely ungracefully, landing flat on his ass in a room that is unmistakably not his own. His heart hammers in his chest as he tries to make sense of it all in his just woken state. He peers over the mattress, to the person that was holding him, and he’s pretty sure his heart gives out all together.
“Maddie?”
She yawns from the bed, not opening her eyes, curling further into the pillow. “It’s too early, Howie, the alarm hasn’t gone off yet.”
*
Or, Eddie and Chimney accidentally swap bodies.

Summary
Eddie glares at him, the tip of his ears pink, “Buck, you can’t just—You can’t just kiss me to win a fucking argument!” he says, almost scandalized.
Buck’s grin widens, “Right…” he replies, then adds with a teasing tone in his voice, narrowing his eyes, “But it worked, though, didn’t it?”
“No,” Eddie scoffs, shaking his head, “Shut up.”
(Or, Buck has been living with Eddie for months, and he is definitely not in love with him, except, yeah, he sort of is. Cue to, extreme measures being taken.)

Jee-yun thinks he's married to his straight and platonic best friend, and Buck cannot convince her otherwise.
It all comes down to this: a barbecue, dozens of cookies, and Jee inheriting her parents' love of messing with Buck.

Summary
“You look…tense.”
“Oh,” Eddie says, dumbly. He looks down at the clenched hands in his lap and tries his best to relax them. He doesn’t dare look up at Chimney again, just—keeps looking down, wriggling his fingers around like he’s testing out if he can still move them. “I—no. Everything’s okay.”
“Okay,” Chimney draws out. Eddie doesn’t need to be looking at him to know he’s sharing a look with Hen. “Your leg bouncing might trigger an earthquake, though.”
...or, Buck overcorrects. Eddie spirals.

Summary
Eddie takes a step closer and cups Buck’s jaw, tilts his head slightly, pressing a quick kiss above his eye, right where his birthmark is. “See you in a bit,” he says.
Buck stammers for a second, face blushed, “Uh, I—I’ll wait?” he coughs, “Yeah, see you. Bye.”
(Or, five times Eddie kisses Buck’s birthmark in a perfectly friendly way, plus one time he kisses the man himself, and yeah, that isn’t best friend behaviour at all.)

The Side Effects Of Falling For Your Best Friend by Aficatyourfingertips, buckdiass
Fandoms: 9-1-1 (TV)

Summary
"Okay," Eddie says, shaking his head like he's throwing off the laughter. "Touch my ass."
"What?"
"The only way for us to face this is to jump in. So, touch my ass."
Buck untangles his arms from around Eddie. "I think the mood's gone."
"Oh, c'mon," Eddie whines. "I promise I won't laugh."
"I don't want to do it anymore."
That earns him a raised eyebrow. "You don't want to touch my ass?"
"Eddie—"
"Just touch my ass."
"Stop saying ass."
"Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass—"
Side effects may include laughter during sex, moody teens, competitive streaks a mile wide, and the ability to (somewhat) effectively communicate.
or...Finally together, Buck and Eddie navigate their developing relationship. Eddie’s laughter at the thought of sex and Chris’s passive aggressive mixed signals don’t help a spiraling Buck’s mourning of an imagined loss of friendship. Meanwhile, Eddie comes to terms with his identity and it means for him. Featuring too much information shared during wine nights, zoo trips with a gaggle of kids, and an exhausted Ravi.

Summary
That’s the problem.
He thinks.
He thinks, I love you, every morning he wakes up and finds Buck making breakfast.
He thinks, I’m in love with you, every time Buck grins at him at the dinner table at the fire station, a quip on the tip of his tongue and a blush high on his cheeks.
He thinks, I don’t want my life without you in it, just like this, forever, when Buck’s sitting on their couch in the hours after Chris has gone to sleep, and exhaustion claws at Eddie’s skin, begging him to follow in his wake. But Buck’s looking at listings, Buck’s looking at listings and their time is limited, and Eddie—
Eddie thinks.
Eddie thinks and thinks and thinks every little thing that matters; every momentous thought that at once feels stifling and freeing in the same fleeting moment.
He thinks, endlessly.
And, hauntingly—
He thinks Buck straight into her arms.
--
Or, Buck's new relationship is moving too fast and Eddie's not sure how to stop it.

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
“Your back hurts because you threw yourself into—” Buck does not seem to want to give Eddie an out. If Eddie were a little less tired, a little less emotionally disastrous and in a lot less pain, he’d understand. But right now, he just wants some peace and to lick his wounds.
“I did my job. Can we not talk about this while my dick is out?”
There’s a beat of silence.
Then suddenly, Buck’s face appears just past the shower curtain.
“No. Unless you wanna get out right now because we’re either gonna get pulled on a call or—”
Eddie’s cheeks flush with warmth. He quickly drops a hand to cover himself, turning slightly to preserve what’s left of his modesty.
“I’m not— Eddie, I’m looking at your face.”
“Okay, back it up, Buckley.” Eddie reaches out, pressing a damp finger to Buck’s forehead and firmly pushing him backward until his face vanishes and the curtain swings back into place.
OR
Set in S8A, Eddie does something mildly reckless and tries to hide from Buck in the showers. He does not let him. Horny hi-jinx ensue.

Summary
“C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.
"What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.
"You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”
Eddie can’t believe his ears.
"That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."
“Oh so you concede?"
Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.
OR
Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

Summary
“I'm gay.”
He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.
But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.
He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.
in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Of course kisses are for everyone, it could be entirely platonic”. Buck stretches his arms, a gesture to remark he thinks he’s right. “I mean, look at Eddie and I. At your bachelor party".
"What about the bachelor party?” Hen asks this time, her face showing a funny, confused grin. Karen shares her expression at her side.
[...]
“That we kinda made out. And it was never weird. Right, Eddie?”
All the baffled looks follow Buck’s encouraging one. Eddie squints his eyes when he finally speaks.
“We did what?!”
...
Buck is gonna help. They are going to kiss for the sole purpose of him remembering. Nothing more. Doesn't mean anything. That's what a best friend would do.
