Still thinking about those like 2 lines about Chris' favorite shirt. They say so much in so little time

Chris misses LA. He's talking to Eddie and not his grandparents about it

Eddie and Chris are talking enough that Eddie knew it was missing in the first place

Proof of Eddie being able to provide what his parents can't

Further solidifies Buck's spot in the dynamic as Eddie's co-parent and that he can help Chris too

Favorite shirt = comfort. Chris is still looking to Eddie for comfort and Eddie can provide

Buck found it; Buck can also provide comfort

Buck tells Eddie to tell Chris he was the one who found it -> he misses Chris and please let Chris know that

Lets Chris know he can rely on Buck too

And then of course Buck telling Eddie to share some of the cookies with Chris just doubles down on a lot of these points

Buck gets all the heart eyes Eddie knows how to give. Even if Eddie himself hasn't realized it yet that he's being completely super absolutely 100% all 😍😍 over his bestie.

🙈📦🙊

Schrödinger’s Eddie Diaz: he both knows and doesn’t know that he’s gay and knows and doesn’t know he’s in love with Buck as long as he doesn’t look inside the box

Eddie said "man, I do not know what I'm gonna do without you" and proceeded to Not Do Anything without his man. And I for one think we should respect that.

*Buck and Eddie during another Facetime call*

Buck: Hey, are you ok? Why are you crying?

Eddie: I'm fine Buck, this is clearly just an allergic reaction.

Buck: To what exactly?

Eddie: Life in Texas.

Oh, this man deserves another medal just for being so fcking polite with her, even after being repeatedly treated like he's the biggest of all failures.

This is sooo beautiful! 🥹

You are loved.

Reference here

Hen: I think you should change your last name, Buck.

Buck: To- to what??

Hen: Diaz.

Eddie, across the room: Did you just hit on him for me??

Hen: Well you weren't going to and everyone in this firehouse is sick of you making those eyes at each other and not doing a damn thing about it!

For the new prompt list - 103 or 152 please. Thank you!

Hello lovely :) Thank you for your kind comments all the time! How about we combine the two?

Eddie squints at the phone screen. It's too bright and it's too late but there's only two people who's texts come through at this hour: Chris and Buck.

Before Eddie even picked up the phone, he knew it would be Buck. Because Chris is a normal human and is asleep at 2:16 in the fucking morning.

Adjusting his brightness, Eddie unlocks his phone and reads the message from Buck.

Okay, I know I love cheese, but even this is ridiculous to me.

Clicking on the link attached to it, Eddie is brought to an article from October 2024, where a man had stolen (or attempted to steal) about $390,000 worth of cheese.

Eddie snorts and goes back to his messaging app, tapping on the call button at the top of his and Buck's chat.

He switches over to speakerphone and drops his phone onto the mattress, yawning as the call rings once.

"Eddie?" Buck answers, sounding worried. Like he hadn't woken Eddie up for an article about cheese.

"Stop texting me weird stuff so late at night." Eddie grumbles in reply, eyes already closed. He won't fall asleep - not yet - but he's comfy and Buck's voice is soothing.

"Well that’s pretty rude of you to say." Buck fires back, "I thought you'd be asleep!"

"I was. Until you texted me."

"Sorry." Buck does genuinely sound apologetic. "We haven't had a call in a couple hours. Everyone is asleep--"

"Like normal people."

"And I couldn't sleep. So I started scrolling."

"You realize that article is from October last year, right?"

There's a beat of silence before Buck answers. "Yes."

Eddie snorts, "Liar."

"I just thought it was funny!"

"I know," Eddie smiles into his pillow, "I love when you send me stupid stuff. I love when you share it with me."

"Oh." Buck goes silent again. "Y-you do?"

"Of course I do, Buck." Eddie would rolls his eyes but they're still closed, and the affect wouldn't be the same with Buck in LA and Eddie in El Paso.

He ignores that pang of hurt.

"Then I'll keep sending them."

"I look forward to what you find next."

"I should let you go back to sleep though..."

"No, I'm awake now. I'll keep you company until a call comes in or someone wakes up."

"Eddie..."

"Come on, Buck, tell me what else you found."

Eddie swears he can hear the smile in Buck's voice as he starts telling Eddie about another article he'd been reading.

In the dark of the room, Eddie can almost pretend he'd in the station with Buck.

send me a prompt!
