Eddie exited the locker room, making his way up the stairs, a hot cup of coffee the only thing on his mind. As he rounded the landing all he saw were legs, the ones that belonged to his best friend, the ones that seemed to go on for miles.
Pushing back any of his impure thoughts, Eddie looked to where Buck was pointing, Hen and Chimney appeasing him with their looks of attention.
“I’m declaring this day one of ‘sock-oween’!” The three of them gave unamused looks, Bobby sighing a little exasperatedly from where he stood in the kitchen. Eddie did not have enough—or any—coffee for this.
Chimney clicked his tongue. “Dare I ask what that even means?”
Buck perked right up, rubbing his hands together. “Well, since you asked…I bought Halloween themed socks for each day leading up to Halloween, saving the best for last, of course.”
Hen nodded. “Mmhmm, best for last. Sounds like you’ve got it all planned out Buckaroo.”
Eddie looked down to those long legs, noting the fuzzy black, orange, and purple striped socks covering his best friends’ leg, disappearing down into his work boots; they were kind of adorable.
Buck smiled brightly, shaking his head with excitement. “Yep, I even have the matching—”
The alarm rang out then, all of them jumping into action, whatever Buck was about to say put on hold for the time being, along with Eddie’s coffee; it was going to be a long day.
Eddie didn’t know just how long it was going to be until they were about halfway through shift, all of them hitting the showers after a particularly grueling call; let’s just say it involved a sewer and Buck wasn’t the only one who’d had to go down this time.
As Eddie was straightening his belt, fully dressed now, he looked out of the corner of his eye as he saw Buck approaching. Buck was wearing nothing but the socks from earlier that morning, now paired with matching briefs, water droplets running down his toned frame.
“Um, they—you’re ah…. matching.” It was all he could manage to get out, Buck looking over to him with that award winning smile of his.
“That’s what I wanted to tell you earlier! I got the socks and matching underwear. Cool huh?”
Eddie gulped, nodding his head slightly. “Yea uh, really cool.”
It suddenly occurred to Eddie that Buck was wearing this earlier, before his shower.
“Wait, did you just shower and put those back on after the call we just had?”
Buck chuckled. “Who do you take me for Eds? I obviously bought two of each set for this very reason.”
Of course he had; that was just like Buck. God Eddie adored him so much.
Eddie wanted to reach out and brush over the soft fuzzy socks, his fingers itching to know how warm Bucks’ skin felt under them. He definitely did not whine as Buck got dressed, hiding the matching set from his sight.
As they exited the locker room, heading for their cars, Bucks’ shoulder bumped into his. “Can’t wait to show you tomorrow’s pair. I have them all planned out!”
Eddie swallowed thickly, trying not to concentrate on Bucks’ body heat radiating into him.
“Yea uh, can’t wait.”
Eddie was not going to survive this week.

Eddie came prepared the next day, making sure he’d already had a cup of coffee, his second in hand by the time his best friend bounded up the stairs, flashing that signature smile.
Appeasing Buck, Hen asked, “Alright Buckaroo, let’s see today’s crazy socks.”
Buck looked to her with slight offence. “It’s sock-oween, not crazy sock week, thank you very much.”
Chim sighed. “Are you gonna show us or not Buckley?”
Bobby came out from his office then, all of them gathering around as Buck lifted his foot to the coffee table, slowly rolling back his pant leg. Eddie took in a deep breath, unsure of what today’s look would hold.
They were longer than yesterdays, though they still looked short on Bucks’ mile long legs. The socks were gray with purple around the top, a ghost hovering in the middle; the words ‘Fab-Boo-Less’ were spelled out just above it. Everyone gave a little chuckle, Buck twisting his leg for them all to see. Eddie remained still, his only thoughts of the matching underwear Buck was no doubt wearing; where would the wording fall on them?
He didn’t get to spiral too much before the horn sounded, signaling their first call of the day. Buck quickly pulled his pant leg down, Eddie trying to shake out all of his wandering thoughts; it wasn’t like Buck was going to show him his underwear again anyway.
Wrong; he’d been so terribly, wrong.
They were having down-time between calls, Eddie working side-by-side with Buck as they wiped the engine down. Eddie had all but forgotten about the socks until Buck suddenly dropped his rag, calling out to Eddie.
“Eds! I forgot to show you today’s pair.”
Eddie laughed nervously. “Oh, that’s um, that’s—”
He didn’t get very far, Eddie’s own rag falling to the floor as Buck pulled his pants down, right in the middle of the fire station. Eddie got an upfront view of just where those words had been placed, the ghost right in the center while the words spanned the length of Bucks ass.
Eddie all but choked on dry air as Buck began to shake his butt, twisting back to look at Eddie. “Look Eds, it’s my boo-ty!”
Bobby chose then to walk by, glaring between the two of them. “Buckley, put your pants back on.” Their Captain shook his head, starting at them for a moment more before adding, “Both of you, get back to work.”
Eddie wanted to die of shame right then and there.
Buck winked at him, fucking winked, pulling up his pants before grabbing his rag and getting back to the task at hand, acting as if none of that had just happened.
Eddie could barely handle two days of this, let alone a whole entire fucking week.

Day three, only a few days until Halloween; Eddie could do this, he could.
They were working the night shift, the calls coming in slowly for once. When they’d first got there, the bell had immediately rung out, Buck having no time to show off his socks for the day, Eddie none the grater. He’d thought he’d avoided them altogether, most of the team looming upstairs in the bunks.
Eddie made his way up the stairs, deciding to join everyone else; he could use a quick cat-nap before their next call. He opened the door, expecting everyone to be asleep, though he was quickly greeted with a rumpled and sleepy looking Buck. Their eyes connected, Buck smiling sweetly over to Eddie who couldn’t help but to return the notion.
Eddie’s eyes slowly roamed over Buck, noting the soft looking LAFD hoodie he was wearing, along with—no pants. His eyes widened at the sight, his mouth all but watering.
Buck lit up, a dopey smile covering his face. “Oh! Let me show you today’s sock-oween ensemble.”
Without another word, Buck spun around, giving Eddie the full view. Today’s matching outfit consisted of baby pink socks that were lined with black on the toes and heel, black bats all over. The briefs looked just the same, the shade hugging to Buck oh so perfectly; he looked absolutely adorable. All Eddie wanted was to snuggle up close to him and pull Buck in close.
“Um they’re, they look uh—”
Buck smiled bashfully, winking to Eddie. “Eds, you can say I’m cute. I don’t mind.”
Eddie laughed nervously, rubbing at the back of his neck. Thankfully, Chim came to his rescue, groaning to the both of them.
“Yes Buckaroo, you look adorable. Now can both of you please shut up? Some of us are trying to sleep here!”
Buck shrugged indifferently, knocking his shoulder against Eddie’s as he walked by. Eddie turned, watching his best friend saunter down the hall, his hoodie pulled up to put his ass on full display, those bats all but flying off with how much he was shaking it; fucker.
Needles to say, Eddie didn’t sleep that night, especially not when Buck came back, lying on his stomach without any covers on, the pink fabric all but mocking Eddie.
If he got up before the others to go downstairs and take care of some things, well, that was his business.

Eddie was so ready to be done with Halloween, and not just because of all the dumbass calls they’d been receiving; he couldn’t take Buck and his ‘sock-oween’ for one more day. The man truly seemed relentless.
Just when Eddie thought he was getting a break from his best friends’ antics, they would pop up again, suddenly and unexpectedly.
They were on the scene when it happened, Eddie trying to pick his jaw up from where he’d dropped it.
Buck had removed his belt to help with the task at hand, his pants slightly slipping as he bent down. All Eddie could see were skeleton fingertips peaking out, almost as if they were holding onto Bucks ass, the tips all but disappearing beneath the fabric; Eddie had never in his life been so jealous of a pair of boxers. He longed to caress Buck in the same way, dipping his fingers in right before stripping Buck bare, Eddie sliding in easily behind him.
He was knocked out of his fantasy when Hen hollered out to him, giving him an incredulous look; he hadn’t even seen the full set and already he was done for.
Eddie managed to make it through the rest of their call, chastising himself every time his eyes veered towards Bucks’ pants, the ones that seemed to keep slipping further and further.
When they got back to the station, Eddie all but fled from the truck, ready for a long, cold, shower. Everyone else seemed to have the same idea, all except for his best friend that was.
As he beelined toward the showers, a strong hand suddenly pulled him back, Bucks’ bright blues meeting him wholly.
“Forgot to show you today’s sock-oween attire. C’mere!”
Eddie found himself being pulled backward, not doing much to stop it; he did want to see the full look, after all.
Buck stopped, bringing them both to a halt as he looked Eddie over. “Any guesses for today?”
Eddie shrugged his shoulder, feigning indifference. “Uh, vampires?”
Buck shook his head. “Nope, couldn’t find the matching boxers for those.”
That was such a shame, considering the image Eddie had already conjured up in his mind, one of fangs on Bucks ass, Eddie replacing them with his own. He shook his thoughts when he noticed Buck was stripping himself down, Eddie finally receiving the whole look.
The socks were all black with skeletons in different poses across the top, the boxers looking slightly different. Seeming to answer his unsaid question, Buck turned his head back toward Eddie. “I couldn’t find exact matching ones, but I thought these ones were so cool with the skeleton hands too!” Eddie couldn’t say he disagreed.
Not only were the skeletal hands cupping Bucks ass, but there were also little skeleton figures across the middle, looking as if they were almost dancing; the thought only enhanced when Buck began to shake his ass.
Eddie choked on the dry air, pretending to cough when Buck looked back to him innocently; the smug bastard.
With that, Buck trotted away from Eddie, making his way towards the shower, swaying his ass to and fro. When Eddie thought he was finally in the clear, Buck poked his head out from the shower, droplets of water running down his pretty face.
“Only two more days Eds!”
Yea, Eddie was well aware, thank you very much.

It was the day before Halloween, Eddie ready to have the holiday done and over with; at least the sock-oween festivities.
They were off for the day, Eddie spending much of the morning getting ready for Chris’ trunk-or-treat that was taking place later at his school. Of course Buck had been helping Christopher all throughout the week, his boys so creative and energetic with their ideas. They’d decided on a Finding Nemo theme, the two of them painting pumpkins for the main characters, Eddie left in charge of blowing up all the balloons; he didn’t mind.
Chris was with Abuela and Tia Peppa who were meeting them both there, Eddie picking up Buck on the way. He let himself in with his key, humming to himself as he entered the cozy loft. Buck’s footsteps fell from above, Eddie making his way toward the stairs. He looked up when Buck called out to him, stopping dead in his tracks.
“Eds you’re here! Hold on, I’ll come down.”
Eddie wanted to tell Buck, no, beg him, not to come down the stairs because Eddie wasn’t sure he’d be able to handle it. From what he could tell, Buck was shirtless, meaning he probably only had on today’s matching attire, Eddie’s pants tightening just from the thought of it.
As Buck landed on the first step, Eddie got a glance, his fists clenching tightly down at his sides. Today’s socks were opposite colors, one orange, the other black, both with the opposite color for lettering. Down one sock was the word Trick, the other lined with Treat. Buck turned his back so that all Eddie could stare at was his ass, the briefs half orange, half black, the word Trick stretching out over his taught frame. Eddie froze in his thoughts, nearly coming undone right there for knowing what was spelled out across Bucks front.
Buck gave a little shake of his ass, turning around with a cheeky smile spread across his face. Eddie pulled in his bottom lip, stifling the groan that was demanding to be let out. Fuck. The word Treat looked like it was bulging out from what lay just beneath it, the fabric threatening to burst at any moment.
Eddie let out some kind of pained sound, feigning another coughing fit as he made for the kitchen, downing a large glass of water. He pressed a hand to his groin, trying to release some of the pressure there; it did little to help.
Thankfully when Buck came down, he was fully dressed, though that sly smile still seemed to be plastered on his face; fucker. Much to Eddie’s dismay though, Buck had layered the socks over his clothing, Eddie tortured with the sight of them all throughout the night.
Their trunk was a success, everyone adoring their theme. Eddie tried to keep his thoughts at bay, though every time someone walked up saying the words ‘trick-or-treat,’ he couldn’t help but to glance over to Buck, trying to look past the pants that covered the wording.
Eddie had so many suckers that night, needing to keep his mouth busy, though they were hardly satisfying. He craved the real thing; he was ready to unwrap the treat he was sure would never end.

Today was the day; Halloween was finally here!
It was the last day of Bucks’ self-declared ‘sock-oween,’ his last chance to impress Eddie.
All week long he’d been wearing different combinations of matching socks and boxers, hoping to catch his best friend’s attention; he’d only been falling for Eddie practically since the day they met.
He thought this would be a simple, yet effective, way to get Eddie to notice him, maybe even trip the guy up a bit. Every chance he got, Buck would enthusiastically pull his best friend aside to show him the new set, even shaking his ass for emphasis. Eddie always played the part, looking as Buck put on his act, though he never said anything, often seeming to choke on his own words. Buck started to wonder if he spelled out the word ‘Diaz’ across his ass, with ‘Eddie’ lining the front, if the man would finally take the hint.
Even so, he got ready for the day, pulling on his last matching Halloween set. Todays wasn’t much, and really, he should’ve saved the ‘trick-or-treat’ set for today, but he’d been hoping he wouldn’t have to wait this long.
They were working the night shift today, Eddie joining them a little later so he could take Chris for a little trick-or-treating. Buck had wanted to join them, but he’d gotten to spend last night with his two favorite boys, so that would just have to do; his teammates needed him tonight.
Halloween always made for some interesting calls, Buck remembering the ghostly ones most of all; no one else seemed to believe him, though Eddie always listened to him fondly anyway.
By the time Eddie joined them, they’d already had a fair-share of strange calls, the rest of the night keeping them quite busy. It wasn’t until Buck had gotten home that he realized he hadn’t gotten to show off his final set to Eddie; maybe he’d have to try again for Christmas.
Sighing to himself, he made for the stairs, hoping a nice long shower would get his mind off things. He was halfway up them when he heard a knock, stopping with a frown; he didn’t have plans with anyone, especially not this late at night.
When he pulled the door open, Eddie was standing there, no nonsense to his tone.
“You left without showing me.”
Buck arched a brow. “Uh, showing you what?”
Eddie’s big browns looked him over, Buck shivering under his gaze.
“I was really hoping for a grand finale tonight after all the work you’ve put in this week.”
Buck swallowed thickly, rubbing a hand at the back of his neck nervously; Eddie sat unwavering. Before he could think of anything to say or do, Eddie was speaking again, his voice low.
“I don’t know why you’re being so shy now when you’ve been such a fucking tease all week.”
Buck let a bashful smile fall over his lips then, finally stepping out of the way to let Eddie in.
“You could’ve just let yourself in, with uh, with your key.”
Eddie shrugged, a sly smile splaying over his face. “I wouldn’t want to walk in on you indecent or anything.”
Bucks’ eyes widened at that, though he found himself incapable of answering, Eddie’s eyes raking over him once more.
Slowly, he reached for the hem of his sweatshirt, pulling it off to display his bare chest. Eddie tracked his every move, Bucks’ fingers dipping into the hem of his pants. He turned around, wanting to save the best for last.
Buck stood there lined with goosebumps, just for the thought of Eddie’s eyes on him. He looked down to his orange socks, lined with black at the heel and top, jack-o-lantern faces across them both. His boxers matched, only the face on the back was tipped upside down.
Buck twisted his head around to meet Eddie’s gaze. “So uh, what do you think?”
Eddie shrugged. “Well, the back makes me a little sad, though I’d almost bet the front would cheer me up?”
Bucks’ lips turned up again then as he switched to his front, his smile matching the ones just below. He watched as Eddie inhaled sharply, Bucks erection growing, only making the face light up more.
“So um, you didn’t-didn’t say anything all week. Why uh, why now?”
Eddie moved forward, not stopping until they were mere inches apart. “Well first of all, we were always at work, and secondly—I wasn’t sure if you were doing this for me, or just because you like to show your ass off.”
Buck chuckled. “I guess that’s fair. I mean I do have a great ass and all.”
Eddie nodded in agreement. “Yea, I’d say so.”
Buck moved to close the remaining gap between them, Eddie’s hands on him in an instant. Their mouths met for a heated kiss, one they’d both been yearning for for far too long. Eddie licked into his mouth, Buck happily inviting him in, letting their tongues tangle together.
He dragged Eddie back to the couch with him, bringing the other man to sit in his lap. Their kiss deepened still, Buck pushing up into Eddie to catch any friction he could find. Eddie smiled into him, pulling away slightly. “I have other ideas for that.”
With that, Eddie climbed out of his lap, moving to kneel in front of him, rubbing his hands up and down Buck’s thick thighs. Buck watched as Eddie’s darkened browns looked over his crotch, sighing when Eddie nosed over his clothed dick. Eddie winked up to him then, looking back to the jack-o-lantern face. “Yea, I’d be smiling too if I got to rest over your cock all day.”
Buck threw his head back as Eddie mouthed him through the fabric, tongue dipping just inside the hole there. Eddie’s tongue licked back and forth across the face, following the zig-zag pattern as he went. Yea, these were definitely a good last day choice.
Eddie’s hands held Buck in place as he continued to mouth over his boxers, the front of them covered with moisture from both Buck and Eddie. Bucks’ hands gripped tightly into Eddie’s fluffy hair, pulling at the ends as Eddie’s tongue dipped inside the fabric once more. He spread his legs wider, Eddie’s tongue finding his head, dipping just inside the hole; Buck made the filthiest sounds.
The pace Eddie began to set was relentless, his hands grabbing what his mouth couldn’t. Just as Buck felt himself about to come apart, Eddie stopped, pulling off to smile up at him.
“What, I can’t be a tease too?”
Buck threw his head back again, a little exasperated this time. “Eds, I-need you-please.”
When Eddie didn’t say anything, Buck lifted his head once more, only to be greeted with the beautiful sight of Eddie stripping himself down, leaving him bare. Buck took in his fill, looking over his best friend as if it were his only goal in life; in fairness, it had been for some time now.
Without warning, Eddie slid into his lap, arms surrounding Bucks’ head. Eddie bent to lick over Bucks lips before slipping inside, Buck tasting himself on Eddie; he was ready to be ruined.
When he reached to slip his own boxers off, Eddie pinned his hands down. “No, those stay, the socks too.” Buck shivered as Eddie’s hands rubbed over the fabric, his feet running up and down Bucks’ calves. Eddie circled his hips, Buck quickly getting with the program as he lifted to meet Eddie’s movements.
Their lips collided once more, Bucks’ hands moving to Eddies’ hips, pulling him impossibly closer. They rutted together, Buck desperate for release. Eddie finally took pity on him, pulling the boxers down just a tinge to release his leaking cock, Eddie taking them both in hand to stroke them in sync. Buck came within seconds, spilling out over Eddie’, the come leaking down to the jack-o-lantern face, Eddie watching as it went.
Once Buck placed his fingers over Eddie’s, it wasn’t long before Eddie was coming, a wet and sticky mess left between them, one they both happily ignored in favor of leaning into the other.
Buck felt warm and sated, rubbing his hands up and down Eddies’ back, Eddie nuzzled closely into him.
“So, which uh, which pair was your favorite?”
Eddie laughed into him. “Besides todays? Hmm, probably the pink ones with the bats, just because they made you look even more adorable.”
Buck kissed Eddie’s cheek softly. “You think I’m adorable?”
He could feel Eddie’s eyes roll against him, both of them chuckling. They finally managed to clean them selves up a bit before moving to the shower, Buck showing Eddie a few tricks of his own.
They made their way to the bed after, snuggling close together under the fluffy comforter. Buck was wrapped around Eddie, not an inch of space between them.
Eddie’ rubbed over Bucks’ fingers that were wrapped around him, humming softly. “Well, I’d say your ‘sock-oween’ was a success.”
Buck leaned in to press a kiss to the back of Eddie’s neck, smiling into him. “Just wait until you see what I have planned for December. I’m officially declaring it ‘sock-o’mas!’
Eddie groaned beneath him, Buck already going off on an entire tangent for what he had planned.
At the end of the night, all they needed was each other; there wasn’t a better treat.
