    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

    "I don't need to build a house of stones, wherever you are is what I call home" - Bruno Major

    Eddie’s mind is a mess. He is angry, he is furious, he wanted to be fucking annoyed as hell because why?! WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE COVER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART?! WHY?!

    He hates it. He fucking hates how he couldn’t see even a slight evidence of Buck’s beauty mark in his photos, not even a hint of red mark, NOTHING! Fuck make-up! Fuck the calendar! Fuck it all!

     

    or: The annual LAFD Calendar is coming and the rest of 118 was chosen to represent 5 different months. Make-ups and photoshoot- Buck's beauty mark is gone and Eddie is definitely not happy!

    Summary

    “I lied,” Buck blurts out, sheepishly. “You seemed so relaxed while you were sleeping, and with the extra shift you covered yesterday… I just wanted you to rest.”

    “You lied about what?” he asks, even though he has a pretty good guess.

    “About the time,” Buck confesses, then adds, smiling at him, bashful, “I also turned off your alarm.”

    (Or, five times Eddie feels something as Buck takes care of him, plus one time he realizes what it means, and kisses Buck about it.)

    Summary

    “There’s no way you want me as much as I want you.”

    Eddie scoffs. “Try me.”

    “I want to, like, hold onto your ankles and never let go.”

    Without missing a beat, Eddie offers: “I want to handcuff myself to you so that you can never go anywhere without me.”

     

    Or, Buck worries about wanting too much. Eddie literally and metaphorically scoffs in his face.

    Summary

    The kid claps a hand over his mouth. His eyes are huge and sparkling with something that looks like excitement or mischief, probably both.

    "Sorry, sorry," he whispers loudly. Then he leans forward, like he's about to share a secret. "You're a hunk, right?"

    Buck chokes on nothing. "I. What?"

    "A hunk," the kid repeats. "You know, a hunk."

    "I..." Buck has no idea what's happening. "Sure? I guess? I mean, I've been told... I work out sometimes—"

    "Perfect!" The kid is already digging around in his backpack. He pulls out a slightly crumpled rectangle of cardstock and presents it to Buck with great ceremony. "This is for you."

    It's a handmade card written in crayon, blue crayon. The handwriting is careful but wobbly, the letters all different sizes.

    My dad likes boys and is single. He is a HERO and fights fires like Superman. He is a hunk. If intrested, please contact Chris Diaz.
