Part 2
Tumblr media
"Isn't she pretty?" Eddie grins, producing the homemade tattoo gun from under his bed. Pretty was a very strong word. More like a clump of sketchy looking metal held together with even sketchier looking screws and rubber bands.
You scoff. "If you think she's pretty I'm seriously starting to question your taste, Munson. Going from Chrissy Cunningham to this? That's quite a decline."
Eddie rolls his eyes.
"You're never going to drop that are you? Chrissy was a 5 minute crush, besides, she's been dating that douchebag Jason Carver for ages now." Eddie waves his hand to signify his distate. "Anyway, nowadays my taste is more...refined, thank you very much. Hence why I am going through the world's longest dry spell at the moment. Now shut up, and get on the bed. We're doing this." He buzzes the tattoo gun for extra effect.
"Yessir." Giving him a cheeky salute, you lie down on Eddie's bed as he messes around with the ink, and something crinkles beneath you. Your brow furrows as you dig underneath you, and you pull out a dog eared magazine. You flick through the pages, your cheeks flushing. "Jesus, Eddie, resorting to porno mags? You really are suffering." You throw the crusty magazine at him, laughing. Eddie quickly kicks it under his bed.
"What? I got needs, Y/N, and its not exactly like there's a line of babes wanting to fuck the town freak."
"Not even with the whole struggling rockstar vibe you've got going on?" You cock your eyebrow, shooting him a smirk.
"Right? I should be drowning in pussy," he grins, and you roll your eyes. "Still want it on your hip, right?"
"As long as it can be covered by a bathing suit so my parents don't murder me, have at it."
Eddie gulps as you unbutton your jeans, shimmying your hips out of them and exposing your simple black panties to him. You then roll your shirt up your stomach and tie it in a knot to prevent it from getting in his way.
It wasn't like he hadn't seen you like this before, he'd seen you in a bathing suit hundreds of times but this....this was different. This was you, half naked, on his bed. You that Eddie had been harbouring a crush on for a good year or so now, hence the dry spell. He didn't want anyone else, he wanted you, his best friend, his partner in crime, his girl. Nobody in this deadbeat town even came close, not anymore.
He was ashamed to even admit that the magazine you'd fished out from his bed was merely a distraction tool. So many nights he'd fucked his fist thinking of you, the way your body glistened in the sun that time when you sunbathed out the back of his trailer in that black bikini, the way your breasts threatened to spill out of the cups and your ass peeked out from the bottoms that left very little to the imagination.
He had to get you out of his head. It was sick, it was wrong, you were his best friend. His beautiful, funny, smart, sexy as hell best friend. If he had to beat off to some random chick in a disgustingly cheap porno magazine just to stop him thinking about you, so be it.
But honestly, when you'd asked him to give you a tattoo on your hip, the magazines just weren't doing it anymore.
Eddie cleared his throat. "You sure about this Y/N?"
"Eddie, shut up and ink me already," you smile, playfully nudging him with your foot. "You drew it up, yeah?"
"One bat comin' at ya," Eddie grins, showing you the little stencil he'd drawn. It was an exact copy of the largest bat out of the swarm on his arm. "You know we can never not be friends after this right? Matching tattoos is a pretty big commitment."
"Until death do us part." You teased.
"I fuckin' do," Eddie kissed your hand, making you snort. Your friendship had always been like this, flirty to the point where people were always wondering if you were together or not. But that's all it ever was, all bark and no bite per say. "Can you move your, uh, your-"
"Panties, Eddie? For someone who used the phrase 'drowning in pussy' earlier I refuse to believe 'panties' gets you all flustered." You tease, pushing down your panties and exposing your skin to him.
Eddie can feel his palms sweating as your panties slip dangerously low, almost exposing that dip between your legs. His mouth is as dry as the fucking desert when he catches a glimpse of your smooth, soft skin. God, he wants to put his mouth there. He wants to put his mouth all over you actually. He coughs once more.
"Right, let's do this, pretty girl." He carefully cleans the area you want tattooed with some antiseptic liquid before laying the stencil down, carefully pulling it away to reveal the outline on your skin. "Looks metal, babe, you ready?"
You nod, clutching his comforter in one hand as he brings the needle to your skin and the buzzing starts. You bite your lip as you feel the needle meet your flesh, a searing burning pain but not too unbearable.
As he drags the needle across your soft skin, Eddie is sweating. He's so close to a part of you he desperately wants to explore, to kiss and lick and make you scream his name until you're sobbing in ecstasy. But he can't. Why would someone like you ever be interested in the town freak? The nerdy metalhead that spends his free time planning extensive D&D campaigns, or playing in shitty dive bars to a crowd of not even 10 people didn't compare to the jocks who went to endless parties, or did something better than spending their spring break in their trailer getting high and watching horror movies.
"Whatcha thinking about, handsome?" Your sweet, sweet voice breaks him out of his thoughts and he looks up at you. God, you look like a fucking angel right now, all draped across his bed with your hair over his pillow. He knows he'll be able to smell the shampoo you use on that later.
Eddie, always one to almost never lose his cool, shoots you a cheeky grin.
"Thinkin' about how I could tattoo my name on you, pretty Make sure everyone knows who's girl you are."
"Everyone already knows, I've only got eyes for you, dungeon master."
Fuck, he wishes you wouldn't call him that. Not like this anyway. Not with this amount clothes on. Or not on.
"Less of the dirty talk, you. I'm trying to concentrate here." He growls, wiping the residual ink off your skin, refilling and continuing his work. You try to ignore the throbbing in your panties and how good his hands feel on your bare skin.
-
35 minutes later, it's Eddie's turn. After cleaning and covering your new artwork, you get yourself dressed (much to Eddie's disappointment) and turn to him with a wicked grin.
"Pants off, Munson."
"Yes, ma'am." Copying your salute from earlier, he unbuckles his handcuff belt and undoes his jeans, shimmying out of them and tossing them somewhere in his room. He also pulls off his Hellfire shirt. You raise an eyebrow. "What? Can't risk anything happening to it, I gotta wait another week before I can get more!"
"Alright, nerd, lie down." You smile, rummaging around in your bag for the little design you'd drawn up for him. You pass the small design of the devil from the Hellfire logo to him and he grins.
"That's metal."
"So metal that nobody is gonna see it unless they're going down on you."
"Yeah, but we'll know it's there. It'll be like our dirty little secret, Y/N."
"Hot," you laugh as Eddie lies down, putting his arms behind his head. He tilts his head down towards his hips.
"Get to work, missy."
You'd been practising on that gross fake skin stuff in preparation for this, but nothing could have prepared you for touching Eddie...here. His skin was so soft and warm, and he smelled so good. A mix of his old cologne he'd gotten from you last Christmas, smoke and a hint of sweat. It was so Eddie, it made your heart flutter and somewhere else flutter too.
You think Eddie takes the needle like a champ, but when you look up at him about 20 minutes later, his eyes are screwed shut.
"Hurt that much?" You grin and he shakes his head, eyes still closed.
"Nah, babe, honestly, I'm...fine." He hesitates. You stop for a second, tilting your head to the side in question. You go to wipe off some of the excess ink and your arm brushes over his boxers accidentally.
Oh.
"Eddie, are you-"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, don't talk about it." Eddie chokes out, his cheeks flushing. His loose plaid boxers had done a good job of hiding his semi, but when you'd brushed against it, it was game over.
Eddie was hard.
"I-is this like a normal reaction to getting tattooed, or...?" You stutter, your mouth feeling dryer than fucking Gandhi's flip flop.
Eddie sighs, throwing an arm over his face.
"No, it's a normal reaction to a very, very pretty girl hovering near my dick, babe." He says in a small voice. Your cheeks flush as you place the tattoo gun down on his bedside table.
"O-oh. Well, do you want me t-to stop? Or I could help with...I could help you with that?"
Eddie groans behind his arm.
"Babe, don't tease me like that, that's just cruel. 'Sides, wouldn't you feel...weird jerking me off?"
Your mind had not gone to jerking him off. In fact, it had gone a step further.
"Oh, I-I wasn't...I was gonna, um-"
"Blow me?!" Eddie throws his arm off of his face and stares at you, and you pretend you don't notice his cock jumping in his boxers. "You, my super hot best friend Y/N, are seriously offering to suck my dick right now?!"
"I-I’m sorry-"
"Sorry?! What the fuck are you sorry for?! Making all my wet dreams come true?!"
You giggle. "Eddie, shut up."
"No, I'm serious, Y/N, you've been in here-" he sits up and taps the side of his head "-doing some nasty shit for so fucking long. Why do you think I'm jacking off to shitty porno mags instead of chasing pussy?"
You're silent, a slow smile spreading across your face as your hand creeps over his crotch, gently palming at his cock which jumps in your hand.
"Well, lucky for you, dungeon master, you've also been the star of my wet dreams."
Eddie falls back onto his pillows with a groan. "Fuck, I can't believe this is actually fucking happening."
"Tell me what you want to do to me, Eds." Your voice is low and sultry as you give him a squeeze. He looks at you, tongue darting out to wet his chapped lips. You tug at his boxers, giving him a questioning look. He grabs your wrist.
"Are you sure about this, Y/N? Cos if it's a choice between getting off, or keeping you as my best friend, I'd rather keep you babe. Blue balls and all."
You smile softly; Eddie was too sweet for his own good. It was one of the things you loved most about him.
"What about if you get to get off and still keep me?" You say, pushing his hand away and slowly pulling his boxers down. His cock springs out, slapping against his lower stomach. He was long and thick, uncut with an upwards curve that the very sighmade your pussy clench. You huff out an exasperated laugh. "Holy shit, Eds."
"Good 'holy shit', or bad 'holy shit'?" Eddie's cheeks are flushed as he smirks.
"You know the answer to that." You wrap your hand around his cock, making him hiss as you stroke the silky skin. You pull the foreskin down to expose his angry looking, reddish purple mushroom head, and a drop of precum blurts out. You continue to stroke him, eyes fixed on his face.
"Fuck, stop looking at me like that," Eddie groans, his cock twitching in your hand. "'S too much."
"Like what?" You smirk, straddling his thighs. He can't answer you, any sort of answer immediately wiped from his brain as you lower your mouth to the head of his cock and lick, tasting him for the first time. His hips buck, forcing more of his cock into your mouth, making you gag out of surprise.
"Shit, sorry, sorry," Eddie gasps. "Fuck, your mouth feels so fucking good, don't be surprised if I come like, super quick, okay? Been thinking about this for so fucking long you have no idea. And you look....God, you looking so fucking beautiful right now."
You shoot him a soft smile, pressing a kiss to his cock before taking him into your mouth properly, swallowing as much of him down as you can.
Eddie's hand comes to your hair, gently stroking it as you bob your head up and down. The flavour of him blooms over your tongue and makes you hum in appreciation.
"Fuck, babe, your mouth...shit, it's so fucking good, taking my cock so well..."
You pull up and suckle the head, flicking your tongue over the slit. "Holy shit, you're gonna kill me, sweetheart."
You smirk, pulling back and pursing your lips, allowing a glob of spit to fall from your mouth onto the head, dribbling down the shaft. Eddie falls back onto the pillows. "That's it, you've killed me, you're blowing a dead man, baby."
"A dead man who's gonna come in my mouth, right?" You mumble, jerking him quickly, your spit allowing your hand to slide over his shaft with ease. Eddie keens, his teeth gritted.
"You can't say shit like that, angel, I'm about ready to blow as it is."
"Do it, I want it." You reply, taking his cock into the warmth of your mouth once more. You allow him to fuck your face, both hands now resting on the back of your head as you swallowed around him.
"Shit, fuck, oh my fucking god, baby, Y/N, I'm gonna come, fuck I'm gonna come so fucking hard in that pretty mouth of yours, yeah? God, you're such a good girl, so good f'me, fuck, fuck, fuuuuuuck!"
Eddie comes with a broken moan, his hips thrusting upwards and his hands holding you in place as his cock pumps rope after rope of cum down your throat. You moan, relishing the taste of him, which makes Eddie shudder at the overstimulation. You swallow everything he gives you. "Fuck, sweetheart, can you show me?"
You begrudgingly take your mouth off of his cock and open your mouth, tilting your head back slightly and sticking your tongue out to show him that you had indeed swallowed his cum. "Holy shit. I'm gonna get hard again." He groans, his chest heaving and his cock twitching slightly. You giggle and place a kiss to it, and Eddie grabs you, pulling you on top of him, careful to avoid the new ink. "I can kiss you, right?"
"I think we're past that, Eddie" You smile and squeak in surprise as he pulls your face to his, capturing your lips in a hasty kiss. It's a chaste kiss, experimental and you break away briefly. His eyes lock with yours, as if he was trying to search them to see if this was okay. "It's okay, Eds" you whisper, nodding gently. His eyes dart to your mouth and back up to your eyes.
"Do I get to keep you?" He whispers, his fingers softly stroking your cheek. You brush your nose against his.
"You get to keep me."

all the recent parent everlark fanart…they’re totally the type of parents to gross out their kids with affection. and both of them think they’re not bad because it’s nothing like what they were doing for the capitol. but the disgustingly sappy looks and constant touching must be disgusting to the kids and haymitch. plus peeta is a flirt
Anon, have you been in my brain recently? Was that you dusting and fluffing the pillows? How else would you know one of my favorite headcannons???
Katniss and Peeta are annoying because they don't know they're annoying. They're out there, holding hands like it's freaking middle school, looking at each other like the other person somehow hung the moon, smiling over nothing like the economy isn't a mess. Like brooo leave some joy for the rest of us!!
Nah, I'm joking, if any couple gets a free pass to be publicly in love (quite literally in front of my salad) it's them. Their kids are cool with it until middle school and high school, at which point it starts to get embarrassing. There's no intense PDA, but somehow, that's worse. They're just so in love it just comes off them, like a sticky aura of joy. Willow once complained to her BFF about having happily married parents, "UGH, why can't my parents get divorced too?" Her friend rolled her eyes and told her her father was beekeeping age.
Willow has lots of girly sleepovers at home (Katniss and Peeta don't want her sleeping at any other house), and she's constantly pushing her friends into her room to avoid the dinner theatre that is her father hitting on her mother. He makes a whole game of it, including audience involvement! Her friends don't mind, they think they're sweet (At least one of them thinks one or both of them are hotties), but Willow would rather die than let her friends watch her dad winking at her mom while he sings poorly about how pretty and dark her braid is.
Rye generally doesn't feel personally affected beyond the usual embarrassment. It gets more annoying once he starts bringing girls over and their eyes just glaze over, dreaming about being that in love. He's not sure he's ready for this yet! He just wanted to go to the tonsil hockey tryouts! His dad does tell him off for that one when his mom asks why his latest girlfriend doesn't come over anymore. What was he supposed to do? Not complain about how the parentals ruined his shot at being a playa???
In adulthood, Willow's attitude changes to "When will it be my turn!!!" To Peeta's horror (she wants to get married? And leave this house?!?!?), Rye's rolling eyeballs, and Katniss's confusion ("Marriage isn't everything sweetie," "that easy for YOU to say" "Um, Peeta, tap in" "NO BOYS! Stay with daddy forever, pretty please?" "DAD! Let me live!!") Rye doesn't care anymore, he's accepted the embarrassing aura (he found a girl, and Willow can't believe he's gonna get married before she's even moved in with a guy - Katniss: back in my day, we didn't care about marriage. Peeta: that was y-OW, OH, yeah! Pfft, being single is awesome!)
After that mess, the kids appreciate their parents for being the cute elderly couple holding hands on a park bench that they've always been. (Ignore that run-on sentence). It's fine. Someone tell Dad the jokes aren't funny tho, no one wants to think about their parents like that. Also, the singing? Painful.

Hey I hope you still want people rambling about their Tavs because you've opened Pandora's box with that one and now I'm back!
My actual canon Tav is named Tristan, like me. He actually had the name first. I first made him as an OC, and then fell in love with him so much that I decided I'll use the name for myself as well.
Anyway! His full name is Tristan Trevelyan, because someone in his life thought it'd be funny to troll him like that. No, there's just some interesting naming conventions going on in the Trevelyan bloodline. His father, for example, is (or was) named Trevor Trevelyan. He's not in Tristan's life anymore though, and they've never had a great relationship to begin with, but I haven't decided what exactly happened to him. I might have to revamp a bunch of Tristan's story anyway.
So far, Tristan is a literal prince, but he gave up his right to the throne because he wanted to travel the world instead of being chained down by the heavy duties of a future king. Whether or not he'll remain a prince, I'm not sure of, because I don't know how well that'd fit into the entire BG3 lore, but it's his canon origin so for now I'm rolling with it, and even if I demote him, he'll still have a noble background.
He's also transmasc like me, but unlike me, he's known it his entire life, and his mother, Shanna, has always supported him, to a point where she supplied (and still does to this day) him with ~a tincture that allowed his body to develop in a masculine way~, so pretty much fantasy HRT. When he's wearing pants, he passes perfectly, but since that tincture is medicine, and not magic, it didn't change the bits he was born with. Tristan is also outrageously gay though, and although his past hasn't been free of any and all kinds of struggles, he's come to see it as a blessing in disguise, because it gives him at least a hypothetical chance to have biological children with a man, should he ever find one he'll want that with.
Spoiler alert: He will.
Tristan is a sweet, wholesome kind of guy. He's kind, optimistic, and will give absolutely everyone at least one chance. He's helpful, and supportive of those he even remotely cares about, and makes an effort to uplift the people around him. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and he's a terrible liar on top of it.
His best non-romantic friend out of the group will be Wyll, because those two have a lot in common even already at first glance. They're both valiant swordsmen with noble backgrounds, questionable fathers, a penchant for helping others, and a huge romantic streak, and I could've absolutely seen them falling in love, if it wasn't for the fateful moment in which Tristan pulled a certain man out of a certain portal, falling head over heels for him the second their eyes met for the first time.
There's much more to tell about my boy, but I think this is enough for one ask. Hope you've had fun reading!
It's Tristan!!! I've been dying to know more about him 😭
I love a good sweet boy, and a bad liar to boot. He sounds so wonderful. He and Gale are going to be so disgustingly(affectionate) romantic together, I can't wait to hear more about their love story
Tumblr media
Tell me more! Are they going to have a big family?? One happily spoiled child? Is their wedding gonna be so huge???
(I still ALWAYS want people rambling about their tavs in my ask box they're all so beautiful and fun and lovely and I want to know them all!)

Sooooo
I see that you catch feelings for whitty
Tumblr media
You gonna make it official or still be in denial for him 🤭
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS GRGRGRG I HATE THIS SHITHEAD SO MUCH
It's funny how I used to see Wh!tty as an "okay character with a cool backstory" until he got the best glowup by making him 5 ft flat with a growing desire for chaos and destruction. (coughcoughBryancough)
I already have an idea of how would Wh!tty and Helena interact–
Wh!tty, since it's his job to infuriate people, wants to piss her off and "hopefully" make her suffer because of him.
But Helena is very difficult, if not impossible, to get angry... and she's generally a smiley sweet lady, so for her to treat Wh!tty like how she would with any normal person pisses HIM off instead, because I'm pretty sure he knows he ain't normal himself and practically no right mind would treat him with genuine kindness and gentle behavior.
So for him to receive this disgustingly nice treatment from a human is giving Wh!tty more reasons to wipe Helena's humanity off of her face until he gives up–
tho idk if he's the type to give up easily or not so I could be wrong
Obviously none of this is canon in all seriousness + these two interacting is just me fulfilling my self-indulgence bc I have reached my limit and could no longer control my feelings anymore... SOBS
If anything, I actually love this Wh!tty for the way he is. 😭 I don't wanna disrespect for making him out-of-character, even the slightest bit. I am following the canon like a loyal soldier while sprinkling little bits and pieces with what-if situations for merely interacting with me–
SO MANY MIXED FEELINGS SKKFKSKDKE

dear john,
it's been a long time since I wrote a dear john letter. it's late september now. our final semester has started. we've been good, hectic but good. it's weirdly healthy. I find my old habits trying to slither their way back in but I do my best to push them out, I won't let them sabotage this. I had a dream you proposed today. I'm no where near ready to be married, but I woke up crying. we were visiting salem MA, somewhere I've always wanted to live. you proposed in front of the hocus pocus house. I'm now thinking of us in that cheesecake factory coming up with halloween hallmark movie plots, laughing our asses off. I remember that talk we had in the car. I didn't know how to explain how I was feeling, it made me feel guilty. I didn't tell you about the scare, I should have. I know I should have. I read you the letter, you put your hand on me. it was a lot, I know. you said you want to be better for me, did you mean it?
sometimes at night, I imagine I'm sleeping next to you and somehow it makes the world less scary. I've been having a lot of nightmares lately. I don't even remember most of them. you're in a few. I thought the anxiety medication was supposed to help with this.
I have a medical procedure on thursday. jesus, I didn't think we'd still be seeing eachother. I honestly didn't think we'd have a chance. I'm terrified. utterly, completely, disgustingly terrified. I'm being put under general anesthesia. I'm worried what they'll find, if they find anything. if they find something, how do I tell you? i have to text you before the sun is up and tell you that I care about you incase something happens during this procedure. with my body and my chances (knock on wood), who knows what could happen. I know it's generally low risk, but there's still a chance. I'm scared.
the other day, I was venting to my notes app (a typical me activity). and I started talking about you. before my brain could process what I was typing I wrote: "if he doesn't stop, he's going to make me fall in love with him." what would you say to that? I- I don't know if I'm ready to be in love again. I don't know if I'm ready to fall for someone again. I've done so much healing, my abusive ex can't touch me anymore. but... I don't know. I guess I'm still scared of being *that* vulnerable with someone. I'm okay with surface level vulnerability, making funny jokes about my past and such, but I don't know if I can be in love quite yet. but it's okay. I don't need to be. I'm scared to fall in love again because last time, it was used against me. my love was a weapon, I dropped the knife and they stabbed me with it. I know you won't do that, but knowing that doesn't unlock the iron clad chain around my heart. the only thing that can rust and break that chain is time. I want to give you that time. I want you to break that chain. I feel like I could be that with you, that level of seeing me naked surrounded by my ghosts. I feel like I could fall in love with you. that scares me.
okay hon, I am tried. I need to clean up my room and then do a few tasks and then sleep. I've got a long day of surgery prep tomorrow.
I hope you're sleeping well.
sincerely,
yours

🤍 valentine's day with baji 🤍
a/n: okay waiter!baji came to me in a VISION and i am so happy with him and how this turned out i love this boy god gOD GOD!!!!
content: mmmm fluff :)
nervously checking your phone again, you realize this guy is now an hour late. it's getting to the point where you worry that you've been stood up. which sucks, obviously. but being stood up in a crowded restaurant on valentines day? you wanted to crawl under the table and start screaming.
some couples at the surrounding tables give you pitying glances while they eat and talk and act visibly and disgustingly in love. the older waiters are glaring at you, wanting so badly to threaten to give your table away but having to stay professional. only one waiter seems to feel for you. he's younger than the rest of the waitstaff, probably about your age, with a handsome smile and jet black hair that's tied back out of his face. when he looks over at you and meets your gaze, there's genuine concern in his eyes.
it wasn't like this guy you were waiting on was the love of your life; just someone you'd been talking to for a little over a week on a dating app. when talk eventually made its way to the topic of being dateless for valentine's day, you'd both agreed to go out somewhere together. won't that be so funny? he had said. to go on a first date on valentine's day?
but even though he didn't mean a damn thing, it still hurt you to be sitting here on the day of the date and he hadn't said a single thing to you in hours. he'd left you to make a fool of yourself in public. in a fancy setting, in a nice fucking dress.
won't that be so funny?
checking your phone for the millionth time just to make sure, you take a deep breath and prepare to stand up.
a waiter approaches your table and clears his throat, "uh, hi."
it was definitely not the time. your patience was at an all time low and you didn't trust yourself with speaking to a stranger. but when you look up, it's the cute waiter standing there beside your table. he's giving you a sympathetic smile that almost doesn't make you want to cry. almost.
"first of all," he lowers his voice and indicates to the seat across from you. "fuck whoever this was supposed to be."
the unexpected words earn a genuine laugh from you. he smiles, encouraged, "so...listen, my shift ends in 10 minutes. it's really fucked of me to ask you to wait anymore tonight, but... let me take you out for a drink. or ice cream, or something. gorgeous girl like you shouldn't have valentine's day wasted because of some douchebag. whaddya think?"
you hesitate; he was a complete stranger, after all. but the look on his face was so genuine, something was tugging at you deep down to tell you to trust him.
"okay," you nod. "thank you."
"i should be thanking you!" he grins his captivating grin, showing off charmingly vampiric teeth. "i'm about to take the most beautiful girl in the building out for valentine's day."
with a wink, he leaves you to go finish his work. you watch him as he circulates through the restaurant, cracking jokes and looking for ways to be helpful, always leaving a trail of smiling, charmed diners in his wake.
what a nice guy, you think. you send a middle finger emoji to the guy from the app and hit the block button.
"ready?"
you look up to see that the waiter has returned, apron folded over his arm. he's still wearing his work uniform of slacks and a white button down, though, with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, it looks much less formal. god, he's handsome.
"ready," you smile, hopping up and following him out of the restaurant.
the two of you start down the street. you don't bother asking him if he's got a place in mind because you realize you don't really care where you go. from the moment you got outside, he's talking like he's known you for years. you find out that his name is baji keisuke, he lives at home with his mother who he adores while he saves up to move into his own place, he rides a motorcycle, he loves old kung fu movies, and he's never been on a date for valentine's day before.
as much as baji talks, though, he also expects you to talk just as much. he asks about your family, your job, your interests. you recount funny childhood memories to each other, describe your least favorite teachers from high school, and compare first kiss stories.
somewhere during the conversation the two of you walk into a bar and order drinks. nothing seems to matter except for what he has to say and the enthusiastic way he listens to everything you say back. you can't remember a time when conversation ever flowed so easily with another person. baji keisuke was definitely special.
when baji pauses to sip his drink you ask, "how is this your first valentine's day date?"
smiling, he just shrugs, "just timing, i guess. so today i'm feeling really lucky that you– oh fuck, that was gonna come out all wrong..." you burst out laughing and baji sighs in relief. "i'm sorry your day started out shitty. but i'm really glad we were able to meet." he reaches into his folded apron and fishes a few dinner mints and hershey's kisses from the pocket.
placing them on the table, you notice he softens. "sorry it's not very fancy or romantic."
"it's really perfect, keisuke," you feel yourself almost blushing. "you really saved my whole day."
you split the tab shortly after realizing you'd somehow been at the bar for almost three hours, completely absorbed in your conversation.
when you get outside, baji offers to walk you home.
"thanks, that's sweet of you."
"nah, it's selfish," he teases. "i just wanna spend more time with you."
as you start walking side by side, he notices you shiver slightly as the chilly wind whips around the two of you. he throws an arm around your shoulders and tugs you close to his side. "sorry i don't have a jacket," he apologizes, rubbing your arm to try and warm you up. "this is better, actually," you smile at the ground, hoping he can't see the way your cheeks have flushed pink.
baji throws his head back and laughs, hugging you tighter, "you're really fuckin' cute, you know that?"
when you finally arrive at your house he plants himself in front of you and reaches for you hand. "tonight was awesome," he says, face lit up. "you're amazing. please let me take you out again."
you're stunned by how forward he's being. before you can think of a response, he leans in and presses his warm lips to your cheek. "think about it, okay?"
"no," you grab his wrist as he starts to walk away. his face falls when he hears that word. "no, i don't need to think about it. i want to go out with you again."
"name the time and place, baby," his smile shines brighter than the moon.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
You knew this was a horrible idea. 
It’s Saturday night and you and your boyfriend were back in another night club after being kicked out from one just hours before. Daniel had gotten too drunk, as he always does, causing you to kindly ask the bartender to cut him off. Daniel didn’t take that too lightly resulting in a gnarly swing at the poor guy just doing his job. 
Security threw you out and Daniel called an Uber to go where you thought was going to be your apartment but twenty minutes later you pulled up to another club practically on the other side of town. You yelled at Daniel but he pushed aside stumbling inside for yet even more drinks and mistakes waiting for him inside. 
You sat at the bar simply drinking some water and snacking on some peanuts keeping your eye on your garbage boyfriend. You're constantly checking the time on your phone, annoyed with every passing minute. It was 2 am and you just wanted to go home and sleep. You were even debating texting your brother Steve hoping you could just crash at his place not too far from where you were but it would be incredibly irresponsible to just leave Daniel in the state he’s in. 
So you waited and waited and waited. Your eyelids felt heavy and your energy was just completely drained. You were basically a zombie. It wasn’t until a guy approached your half asleep body that you felt a sense of alert. Daniel was shit-faced so you were practically defenseless. 
“Hey,” the guy shouted over the music.
“Sorry, I’m not interested. My boyfriend’s-” you quickly said, only to be cut off.
“Don’t worry. I’m not gonna hit on you. I’ve got a boyfriend of my own,” he chuckled, making you breathe out in relief. 
“Sorry,” you cringed at yourself. 
“It’s alright; but uh, I hate to be the one to tell you this. You might want to check with your boyfriend,” he said sympathetically. 
You pushed your way through the crowd scanning every face in search of Daniel. What did he do? Is he hurt? Did he get in trouble again? Is he getting arrested? Where is he-
“Daniel?” you said eyes tearing up a bit. 
His arms were wrapped around another girl’s waist as he kissed her the way he kissed you. She practically moaned as their tongues slobbered disgustingly with each other. Their hips grinding against each other proactively as if you weren’t even there. Sadness turned to anger, and anger turned to rage, gripping Daniel’s short hairs and pulling his head away from whoever this girl was. 
“What the fuck?” the girl complained, her eyes completely bloodshot. 
“Did he tell you that he was here with his girlfriend tonight?” you're sad with gritted teeth. Daniel stumbled around still unable to register what the hell was happening. 
“Oh my god, you forreal?” she said.
“Who fucking cares? She’s a prude anyway. I got more action with you than I did her in the past, what, six months?” Daniel slurred. 
“You know what, you’re a fucking prick, dude. She deserves so much better than you; I bet your dick is small anyway,” the girl said.
“Fuck you too bitch,” Daniel spit. 
“I can’t believe you,” you said. 
“Oh, whoop-dee-doo, big fucking surprise. Babe, you’re a prude. Can’t you see it? I don’t know why I’m wasting my time with you anymore,” he practically puked out the words without any second thought. 
“Fine, then I hope you enjoy the rest of your night, you fucking asshole,” you stormed away holding in the tears; he wasn’t worth it. 
Almost three am and you just dumped your cheating lowlife boyfriend on the other side of town. Steve wasn’t answering his phone and you even wanna be near the club anymore. Walking speedily staring at your screen desperate to call an Uber home, you bumped harshly into a hard chest falling to the ground on your bum. 
“Fucking hell, I’m so sorry, darling,” the man said helping you up by your elbows.
“It’s ok. I wasn’t looking- Bucky?” 
“Oh, hey kid. What are you doing? It’s like three in the morning and you don’t live anywhere near here,” Bucky said, crossing his arms. 
“Daniel got himself kicked from the one by our apartment and Ubered here instead.”
“So where’s Daniel?” Bucky scowled; he’s always hated that guy, so did Steve.
“Probably fucking some other chick in the bathroom,” your voice cracked. 
“What?”
“It’s nothing; I just want to go home,” you cried.
“Hey, it’s ok; it’s ok. Do you wanna crash at me and Steve’s? He’s gone for the weekend with Peggy; you can stay in his room at least for the night,” Bucky offered; so that’s why Steve’s not answering his phone. 
“I don’t wanna intrude on your night. I can just call an Uber, it’s fine.”
“No, it’s not. Steve’ll kill me if he found out I left his baby sis alone in the streets of New York at three in the morning. It’s not a problem, we were just bar hopping and I stopped drinking ages ago.”
“Are you sure, Buck?”
“Of course,” he smiled warmly at you. 
“Hey, Nat!”
“What’s up?” a beautiful redhead approached you both.
“Gonna head home ; don’t do anything stupid,” he chuckled. 
“You too,” she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, “Catch you Monday?” 
“You’re stupid. I’ll see ya,” Bucky laughed before grabbing your hand and headed towards his apartment. 
“Thanks again, Buck. For letting me stay here tonight,” you said once you entered his apartment. 
It had been a while since you hung out at your brother’s apartment but nothing’s changed. Typical men and their inability to change even a throw pillow. You set your small bag on the couch before Bucky led you to Steve’s room. There were pictures of you and him posing at Steve’s graduation; and later your own. Pictures of Steve and Bucky at a theme park, during a bar-be-que for Steve’s birthday. So many memories that Steve held onto in his room. 
“Time really flies doesn’t it?” Bucky said, slightly startling you.
“Sorry,” he chuckled.
“No, you’re fine. But you’re right. Feels all these pictures were taken yesterday,” you reminisced. 
“I got you some clothes if you need to change; I’ll give you privacy,” Bucky said, slipping from the room briskly. 
You sat on the bed frustrated with everything. Your body was so drained from being up so early in the night, to the fight with Daniel. The past couple months with him were so awful. He was just so mean to you all the time and you didn’t know what you did wrong. Where did it go wrong? When did things shift?
"Is everything ok, darling?" Bucky asked quietly, knocking on the door when you hadn't come out after a while.
"What did I do wrong? I thought he loved me," you choked out. 
Bucky sighed as he walked over to the bed sitting beside you before engulfing you in a warm hug. You cried into his shoulder and Bucky couldn't help the anger that bubbled inside him for your excuse of a boyfriend Daniel. He never got along with the guy and now he finally has a reason to knock his teeth in.
"You didn't do anything, I know it. That prick wouldn't know love if it hit him in the face. It's his loss. You deserve so much better than that asshole. Look at me, you're so beautiful and funny and fucking adorable; any guy who can't see how perfect you are, is a dense piece of shit." 
"James," you whispered. 
His words made your heart skip and your stomach flutter. But Bucky’s always had that effect on you. Even growing up. You weren’t going to sit there and pretend that hearing his words hadn't had a deeper effect than they would’ve coming from Daniel. Sometimes you wondered what being with Bucky would be like. You’re not the first to admit how handsome Bucky was and growing up you did have quite the crush on your brother’s best friend.  
You don't know what it was, whether it was the alcohol still swimming through your veins, or just feeling so vulnerable being in Bucky's arms but you wanted him badly. You needed him, needed to feel something again. And you knew he could give it to you. You pressed your lips to his and in an instant his hands dropped to your hips pulling you impossibly close against his body. Your hands went to the back of his head as you kissed him messily. Your noses bumped and teeth clashed but it was the best kiss you’ve ever had. 
“Fuck, your brother’s gonna kill me,” Bucky mumbled, almost to himself, as he slowly laid you down on your back.
Bucky’s hands trailed up your thighs, squeezing the soft flesh every now and then as he continued kissing you passionately. Your own hands couldn’t help but tug at his shirt desperately. When he did so, your breath was completely taken away. It had been years since you’d seen Bucky without a shirt. 
Not only had he been quite skinny just like your brother back then, but not long after leaving for college with Steve he was in a bike accident that left him with ghastly scars and burns along his left arm and shoulder. Since then, it’s fair to say Bucky never really ever took his shirt off. It had taken years just for him to remove the glove he’d always wear to cover the scars on his hand.
“You’ve gotten so strong, James,” you grinned, reaching out to brush the flexed muscles running down his front. 
He simply stared at you with an anticipating and anxious expression on his face, waiting for you to state the obvious. When you didn’t, when you pulled his head down to kiss him once again, he almost cried. Bucky hadn’t been with a woman in so long, afraid of this very moment. He knew at that moment, there was no one quite like you. 
Bucky fell in love. 
“Let me take care of you, darling. You’ve been so good to me,” Bucky whispered huskily in your ear as he trailed his hand under your own shirt brushing his fingertips along the underside of your breast.
His lips pressed softly against your hot skin along your neck before standing up between your legs at the end of the bed. He pulled your shirt off then played cheekily with the straps of your bra that you still had on. You smiled back at him with the same playful stare, reaching behind you to unclasp the material. 
You could see the way Bucky’s eyes darken and his pupils widened as he stared in awe at your naked chest. Your skin bursted into chills under his hungry gaze even though you felt like you were burning up. Bucky leaned forward kissing down the valley of your breasts, nipping once in a while playfully before laying you back down. He shimmied you out of your bottoms easily, kneeling on the ground leaving you completely bare before him. 
“You are absolutely stunning, princess,” Bucky whispered, running his hands up your thighs slowly. 
“Bucky, please. I need you,” you whimpered. 
“Don’t worry, darling. I promise I’m gonna take good care of you,” he smirked devilishly. 
He pushed your knees open, eyeing the arousal that glistened between your thighs. He brought his fingers up to you slowly rubbing your slick around before finally pushing a thick and long finger past your folds. Your body shuddered solely at the foreign but pleasurable feeling, already moaning softly. 
Bucky’s cock strained through pants upon hearing your beautiful moans; they were like music to his ears. He couldn’t help the way his hips would buck into the mattress in a desperate attempt to relieve some pain from his erection. Soon after he pulled his fingers from you slowly only to thrust them further in you, curling his fingers just right. 
He brought his mouth down to you, wrapping his lips around your clit sucking harshly. You gasped and your back arched, overwhelmed with pleasure Bucky was giving you with just his mouth and fingers. All the times that you’d given yourself to your ex, he had never made you feel this good before, feel this full; let alone with his fingers. Bucky was taking his time with you solely for your own pleasure and it made your heart swoon. 
Your legs trapped Bucky’s head between your thighs, squeezing as he continued to eat you out like a starved man. Your hands went to his hair pulling on his dark locks causing Bucky to moan deeply against you. You were so close to a release; your legs shaking violently and your stomach tightening. 
“Come on, princess. Want you to come all over my face. Can you do that for me, darling?”
“Fuck!”
“Be a good girl and make a mess,” Bucky teased.
His fingers moved faster as he swirled his tongue around and over your clit just as quickly. You were becoming overwhelmed and that coil bursted in the pit of your stomach. You pushed Bucky’s face from you, shrieking with pure pleasure; Bucky’s kept the rapid pace with fingers as you fell over the edge.
“Fucking hell, that was so hot, princess,” Bucky said standing up; his fingers, arm, his chest was covered in your arousal. 
“Did I do that?” your voice trembled. 
“Because of me,” Bucky winked playfully.
“I didn’t know I could do that,” you let your head fall back on the bed as you briefly caught your breath.
Bucky grabbed his shirt that he discarded not long ago and quickly wiped his chest and arm before discarding his pants and boxers. He nearly moaned at the feeling when he finally freed his dick from the restraining garments. His hand instantly wrapped around the base before pumping himself a few times. 
You brought yourself onto your elbows momentarily ogling at the sight of Bucky completely bare before you. Your mouth practically watered at the sight. Bucky crawled over you kissing you deeply and messily; but perfectly. He pulled away and you both had goofy smiles on your faces before bursting into a fit of giggles, Bucky’s head burying into the crook of your neck.
“You’re so goddamn adorable, princess,” Bucky’s voice was muffled. 
“Bucky,” you whined. 
You couldn’t resist squirming underneath the burly man. Although, you’ve just had what was probably the best orgasm you’ve ever had, you wanted more. You needed more; you needed Bucky. 
“I got you, darling. I got you.” 
Bucky wanted to tease you more, make you beg, but he was just as desperate to feel you as you were. He propped himself up on his elbows kissing you one last time before reaching between your bodies and lining his dick with your entrance. Both you and Bucky moaned simultaneously as he stretched you out; curses spilling from his lips as incoherent moans fell from yours. 
“So fucking tight, princess. Squeezing my cock just right, aren’t ya?” he whispered.
“Fuck, I feel so full,” you whimpered.
Bucky began to slowly move his hips in and out of you deliciously. He quickly picked up the pace, jetting his hips rapidly making your moans louder. Bucky sat up on his knees and gripped your waist surely to leave bruises in your wake. This new angle surprised you and you couldn’t help the squeals and moans that left your mouth. You chanted Bucky's name like a prayer; as if it was the only word you knew. 
Bucky watched you carefully, your face contorting with pure euphoric pleasure. He couldn’t help notice the small bump in your lower belly and without a second thought, he grabbed your hands pressing them firmly over your tummy. 
“You feel how deep I am, darling? Fucking poking through,” Bucky grunted. 
“Shit! Oh, it feels so good,” you moaned. 
“That’s right, no one’s ever gonna fuck you this good again. This pussy’s mine now,” Bucky growled. 
He took one of his hands and wrapped it around your throat squeezing the sides gently but firm at the same time. Your eyes rolled back and you moaned even louder, confident that the neighbors were sure to complain in the morning. Feeling Bucky’s hand around your neck was so exhilarating; you and Daniel had never ever experimented with anything beyond a pair of handcuffs, and that particular night went horribly. 
You like being choked by Bucky. 
“Fucking slut; you like this, don’t ya?” he came down to whisper huskily against your lips. 
“Mh-hm,” you moaned with a devilish grin, your bottom lip resting between your teeth before your eyes rolled back again. 
“Such a fucking beauty you are.”
Bucky hips snapped in and out and he knew it wouldn’t be long until he needed to release.
“God, I’m close, princess,” he growled. 
His hand moved to rest on the back of your neck to pull you up so you straddled his thighs and your chest was flushed against his. Your sensitive and hardened nipples brushed against his slightly sweaty skin causing you to shudder in pleasure. Bucky’s lips attached themselves to your skin along your collar bones sucking harshly leaving purple marks all along.
Your legs shook once again as they did before and soon enough with an arched back and shout of Bucky’s name you came all over his cock. Overwhelmed with your sex, Bucky bit harshly on your shoulder in a poor attempt to muffled the loud groans and moans he elicited. Feeling your velvety walls squeeze tightly around him pushed him over the edge, coating your walls with hot ribbons on cum. 
He fell forward almost crushing you but you were too tired to complain. Bucky continued to pepper soft kisses all over your skin whispering how good you were to him, how beautiful you looked. Just absolutely showering with compliments. You felt him slowly getting off you, probably afraid he was crushing you, but you didn’t want him to leave just yet. 
“Don’t,” you whispered, wrapping your arms tightly around his body. 
“I don’t want to crush you, darling.”
“You’re not.”
Bucky chuckled before settling completely above you, careful not to make you uncomfortable. Hardly any time went by when he felt the even and soft puffs of air hitting his skin, sure that you had fallen asleep. He picked himself up and with major guilt for his best friend, picked you up from the bed and walked you to his own room. 
After he was sure you stayed sound asleep, Bucky grabbed a clean pair of boxers and hurried himself to Steve’s room again. He collected all the discarded clothes and the dirty sheets and tossed them in the washing machine to clean right away. 
He hadn’t meant to fuck his best friend’s little sister, let alone in his own room, on his own bed, but it all happened so fast. 
He went back to his room letting the clothes do it’s thing, and quickly grabbed his phone. He messaged Steve, telling him that when he got back for his weekend with Peggy, he really needed to talk to him. 
Tonight made Bucky realize how much he loved you. Growing up, you two had always been close. But he doesn’t know when he stopped being friendly and instead began flirting. Bucky wanted to be with you; he knew it now more than ever. 
Bucky watched your gorgeous sleeping form on his bed. He smiled to himself before opening the window; the sun already rising and those beautiful golden rays seeped through the glass window, making you look angelic. He crawled into bed cuddling flushed against your naked body. He chuckled softly when you realized he’d returned, wiggling even further into his arms. 
“I love you, Bucky,” you mumbled. 
“I love you, too, darling.”
And he really, and truly did love you. As did you love him.

The best thing about the Will Be Done spell is that the only reason Willow even cast it in the first place is because Buffy could not and would not stop obsessing over Spike. She would not shut up about him and Willow had had enough!
Lmao you're actually so right, Willow just wanted to talk about her break up but Buffy had to immediately leave and put her hands all over a vampire she claims to hate. It's such a shame Willow never actually got to see the effect of the spell on them, she just saw them all fighting demons and hear about it after the fact, she never got to see them being all in love, that would've been so interesting though! Here Willow is, depressed about her boyfriend cheating and leaving, alone and heartbroken, and all of a sudden, there are Spike and Buffy being disgustingly in love, making out, holding hands, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, practically graveyard smashing in Giles' living room, and Buffy is being completely accepting of Spike being a vampire, she is integrating his monstrosity into her domesticity. Meanwhile Willow just lost a boyfriend to his own monstrosity because he couldn't integrate it into their domestic life. Fuck now I want to see this dammit that sounds like a fun dynamic
Also I kind of love how this is such a silly funny episode but it's also darkly foreshadowing Willow's arc in season 6, where she needs to have more control because she thinks knows what needs to happen, so she uses magic to try to fix everything and make it all immediately better. Here, she wants to not feel sad anymore, in s6, she wants Buffy back, she wants Tara to forget she's overusing magic; she's trying to skip the trauma processing and just get to the feeling better when that's not how it works, and the repercussions of the spells are the story saying 'yeah you can't skip this, this is the important part.' (Also this is kind of continued in s**ing r*d when Tara tells Willow she wants to skip the healthy talking through everything and just get to the being together again, and the story again says 'nope you have to process things or else' and Tara gets punished for it (I mean fuck that Tara I love u and u are alive in my heart) anyway I'm sorry for making this fun ask so depressing yes Buffy DID make a smooch fest hell of her own design by talking about Spike and running off to get her hands on him and tie him up when Willow needed to talk

I see a lot of Buck and May fics, but how about Buck and Henry? And Eddie and Maddie never got enough love. Or Eddie and Athena. Heck, even Eddie and Chimney. I'm starting to ramble so I'm just gonna go. 😘
Never stop talking about all the friendships on the show. 
This involved neither May nor Harry (I may write one later), but it does involve a bunch of FireFam goodness so I hope you enjoy <3
“Do you ever feel like we’re spending our lives babysitting a bunch of rowdy teenagers?”
Bobby looked up from his place at the kitchen sink when his wife walked in to the dining room, face firmly in her phone.
“Every day.” Curiosity got the better of him, so he made his way to Athena’s side, drying his hands as he leaned over her shoulder. “The kids having too much of a good time?”
She snorted, tilting the screen for her husband to see. “Do you know what this text says?”
Eiddjr and i aren fettj t martine brjnt shors
Bobby barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the text from Karen. The kids were definitely having too much fun. It was almost time to call it quits.
“It looks Norse.” He shrugged. “Maybe they ended up at a Viking bar?”
He was very used to Athena’s confused, judgemental looks, but he never felt any better when they were aimed in his direction.
“What the hell is a Viking bar?”
He had no answer (and apparently his impression of a stereotypical Viking helmet made with embarrassed hands, wasn’t enough of an explanation) but he was saved by his own phone chiming with a new text.
Buck’s text message was at least a page long; but at least it was coherent.
“It’s definitely time to pick up the kids.” He had never seen so many ‘you are’ statements at once. Apparently, someone was feeling the love tonight. Not that it was much of a surprise; they all deserved a night off – it was the whole reason Bobby and Athena were still awake at 2am when they would much rather be in bed. Their gift to Buck and Eddie was to let them be wild and irresponsible for one night, and they would pick them up when it was time to come home and sleep it off (he’d foolishly offered to make breakfast in the morning as well, which earned him a slap on the shoulder from Athena who did not enjoy the idea of hosting a sleepover with six drunk adults).
Eddie had taken a little convincing when it came to their plan, sure that he could control himself and wouldn’t go over the top the way his fiancé would.
Photo evidence throughout the evening suggested otherwise – but those wouldn’t be discovered until the next morning.
At the moment, Eddie was sandwiched between Maddie and Karen, each matching him shot for shot, enjoying the anonymity and privacy of the bar too loud to be overheard and too crowded to care.
“I’m serious, Eddie,” Karen leaned in to his shoulder. “you and I would make beautiful babies together. If I didn’t love my wife so much – and I was sexually attracted to you at all – I would absolutely have your babies.”
Eddie, for his part, accepted her attempt at a hug with a whimper and a smile. “Karen, that’s so sweet. Hen is so luck to have you, you know that?”
“I know, right?” She only shouted so she could be heard over the music (which none of them would admit not knowing the words to).
“No, I’m serious.” Eddie batted away invisible hands. “You are so smart, and you’re incredibly patient – not to mention drop dead gorgeous. And you’re honest, and funny as hell.” He fell into her side. “You’re great.”
Karen stared down at where he rested on her shoulder, either forgetting what she was going to say, or thinking so slowly, it took her that long to come to a conclusion.
“I hope Buck tops you so hard tonight.”
Maddie slammed her glass on the table, having jumped ahead of them in the shot game while they were in their own round of complimentary chicken.
“I specifically avoided my brother’s party so I wouldn’t have to hear about his sexual escapades.”
Eddie rolled his head to look at his future sister-in-law.
“Maddie, I so appreciate you coming with me tonight. I like spending time with you; we should talk more. You’re so brave and”
“Blah, blah, blah.” Maddie rolled her eyes, already reaching for another shot of whatever they’d ordered a dozen of when they told the bartender to surprise them. “You are so talkative when you’re drunk. It’s like alcohol switches off the part of your brain that tells you when to shut up. Which is a slight improvement over the rest of the time when it’s like pulling teeth to get you to say three words to me.”
His pout seemed to melt off his face as she went on her tirade, but he finally found the words. “You make me nervous; but in a good way. I love your brother so much, and he cares a lot about what you think.” Words were becoming a challenge but he soldiered on – ha! “I think Buck would be sad if you didn’t like me and I don’t want him to be sad. So I worry about you liking me.”
Maddie sighed heavily, passing him his own shot glass for them to toast. “You make it so hard to be annoyed with you, you know that?”
“Hey, why are you trying to steal my imaginary boyfriend?” Karen shot up from her micro-nap, reaching for her own glass.
“Don’t worry, Karen” Eddie hugged her to his side. “We’ll always have Joxer’s.”
“If I didn’t have 100% confidence in your love for my brother, I���d be worried about how much the two of you are flirting.”
His eyes were wide when he turned to Maddie. “You’re 100% confident? But I thought you said I was annoying?”
“You are very annoying” she assured him. “But one of the most annoying things about you is how openly you love Buck.”
“It is disgustingly cute.” Karen nodded in agreement (though, nodded was a generous description for the slow head bob as she drifted in and out of consciousness).
“You’ve always just wanted what was best for him and tried to make him happy. I can tell you he’s never been happier than he is with you. You’re really good for my brother, Eddie.”
Later, he might blame the tears on the alcohol, but tonight, he pulled Maddie into a hug, kissed her hair, and told her again how much he loved her.
“Lame!” Chimney declared, holding up his own glass of something he should have stopped drinking hours ago. “That’s too tame, Hen, dare him to take his shirt off while he does it.”
Hen’s laughter was swallowed by the bustling crowd of old alcoholics and broke college students.
“I sometimes think you just see me as a piece of meat, Chim.” Buck’s quiet contemplation had been the source of much mocking all evening and now was no different, earning disapproving groans and snide remarks that had ceased being subtle four shots ago.
“We all know he has the hots for Eddie” Hen snorted.
That seemed to satisfy Buck’s pout (or the mention of his fiancé never failed to put a smile on his face). “I don’t blame you; Eddie is very hot.” He paused long enough to point a shaky finger in his friend’s direction. “But you are not allowed to cheat on my sister. She’d be really sad if you broke her heart and I don’t want to see her sad anymore.”
Chimney stared at his brother-in-law until he found the energy to move his mouth, as much sincerity as he could muster pouring all over the table. “I love your sister. I want to spend my whole life making her happy.”
“Shots!” Hen loudly declared, passing out new glasses for the trio from the tray they’d ordered, vowing it would be the last round – a lie that no one (not even the bartenders) believed.
“Shots!” Chimney failed to sit up from his slumped position at the edge of the booth but he managed to retrieve his drink and clink glasses with his friends, which was enough for the moment.
Hen held them in suspense with their tequila in the air. “One more shot, and you have to strip on the bar. That’s the deal.”
Buck rolled his eyes. “I’m not stripping on the bar again.”
Both paramedics nearly spit out their drinks but Hen was the first to regain her senses.
“You’ve done it before?”
“No!” His response came too late – and if any of them remembered this night, he might be worried about repercussions.
“You have.” Chimney point a lazy hand in his general direction, fading faster than the others.
“Why are you on her side now?” Buck would be very offended at both Chimneys, if he could look either of them in the eyes.
“I’m on the winning side.” He loudly declared, dropping his shot glass a little too forcefully onto the table, shattering their eardrums.
“If you’re not going to at least jump on the table then I’m going home.” Hen was already stumbling out of the booth when Buck grabbed her arm.
“Fine, fine,” he conceded, pushing their copious glassware to the edges of the table. “For you.”
Five minutes later, the trio caught themselves against the side of the building, Chimney holding an icepack to Buck’s forehead, and Hen apologizing to the bouncer for the seventh time as the door slammed behind them.
“My phone is dead so we can’t call Bobby.” Buck tucked his phone into his back pocket – nearly falling over when he went back to retrieve the phone that never made it into his pants.
“I could call Bobby.” Chimney did his best to keep his friend upright, but coordination was not his friend tonight.
“Or we could walk!” Hen declared, already setting off towards the sidewalk. What choice did they have but to follow behind, decidedly not calling Bobby to come get them from the other side of town.
While Chimney held the ice pack, Buck was free to sling his arms around his friends and pull them close.
“I am so lucky to know you guys, you know that?” The force of his embrace sent them stumbling over the synthetic grass, but they caught themselves in time. “See, you protect me.”
Hen, clearly the sensible one of the group, pulled them forward. “Come on, I bet we could run and keep our arms locked like this.”
Eddie’s trio weren’t fairing much better, having respectfully paid their bar tab after a woman tried to hit on Eddie, and Karen nearly threw an empty glass at her head. Maddie had wisely called Athena (although, the vulgar language she used would be the source of a lecture at the breakfast table), but that didn’t stop them from wandering down the street and away from the place they’d promised to stay.
They were definitely too far from their meeting spot when Eddie spotted a group of familiar faces across the four-lane road.
“Buck?!” he called, pulling more attention than strictly necessary. As long as it got the one man he was after, it would be worth it.
“Eddie?” Bingo! Both parties stood parallel to each other, mirroring their swaying movement. “What are you doing over there?”
“We’re waiting for Athena.”
“Cool. We didn’t call Bobby so we’re walking home.”
Eddie furrowed his brow. “Home is that way.” He gestured in a direction that would eventually get them back to their home (if they circled the globe a few times).
“Oh.” Buck frowned, taking him at his word. “We’ll stop then.”
“What happened to your forehead?” Maddie’s shout startled him for her sheer proximity – not because he forgot she was there because he only had eyes for his fiancé. She had a good point though. Why was Chimney holding an ice pack to Buck’s head?
“He wrestled a bear” Hen declared.
“No, I didn’t.” Buck shot his friend an annoyed glare. The thought of shots made Eddie queasy in the night air, but he listened to the trio across the street.
“I told you to, but you said we couldn’t find one this late at night.”
“There’s one at the zoo.” Karen shouted unhelpfully.
“We should go to the zoo.” Hen latched on to his wife’s idea much too quickly.
“You’re all idiots.” Maddie rolled her eyes, stumbling as she did so; thank god she at least thought to wear flats for her evening out. “Come over here and wait for Athena with us.”
Chimney had to be pulled back by Buck’s lightning-dull reflexes when he stepped out onto the road at his wife’s command.
“Use the crosswalk dummy” she scolded, earning an indignant look from her brother.
“Don’t be mean to Chim; he loves you so much.”
“Yeah,” Chimney parroted. “I love you so much.”
Eddie watched the exchange wistfully. He’d always liked Maddie and Chimney’s relationship. They took care of each other and respected one another and laughed together and talked together. He could only hope that one day he’d find something that good.
Oh wait, he had.
“I’m going to marry you, Evan Buckley!” Eddie shouted to the world, his eyes landing on the only face that mattered. “You’re going to be mine forever.”
“I love you, Eddie Diaz” Buck called back. “I’m gonna marry you so hard.”
“Oh my god.” Six fuzzy heads turned to face a very put out – though secretly bemused – Athena Grant, arms crossed over her chest from her position against the light post. “It’s like herding cats with you all.”
“’Thena!” Hen called from across the street. “We didn’t call Bobby.”
“I noticed. He’s here anyways.” The police sergeant clicked her tongue in annoyance. “I’m not shouting at you three all night, get over here.” When they didn’t move right away, she added with a glare “now!”
While one drunken trio made their way to the crosswalk to join their friends, Athena turned her attention to the drunken trio in front of her.
“And you three, were supposed to stay by the bar. Instead, I have to walk six blocks to find you, while Bobby is trying to find those three stooges at their meeting location twenty blocks away.” She continued her lecture even as she pulled out her phone to call her husband. “The six of you are going to send us both into early retirement.”
“Bobby, your kids are here with mine, you know the bar? Great.” She’d barely swiped the call button when she found herself engulfed by Eddie’s hug.
“Thank you for coming to get us, Athena. You always take such good care of us.” She hesitated for a moment before sighing and giving in to his sloppy embrace.
“I’ll remind you you said that in the morning.” They were all going to wake up miserable. Why had she let her husband agree to let them take the spare bedrooms? If she conveniently forgot now, they’d never know.
She’d drive them back to her house anyways.
“I’ll always remember” he promised, eyes wide and sincere. “For as long as I Buck!” Athena recoiled when Eddie shouted in her ear, immediately detaching himself so he could fling his arms around his fiancé, letting the ice pack drop to the ground. “You came!”
Buck held Eddie tightly to his chest, squeezing as hard as they both could. “I’ll always come for you” he declared with the same sincerity Eddie had worn before. She hoped they remembered being this unbearably sappy. It wouldn’t be any fun to tease them if they had no idea what she was talking about.
As the three couples reunited, Athena stood off to the side, watching them cuddle and exchange light kisses. Karen and Hen’s touches were soft and quiet, Maddie and Chimney exchanged flirtatious words for only them, and Eddie was gently swiping his thumb over the inevitable bruise on Buck’s forehead. Each seemed to temper the other, adding a calm to the evening that had been chaos until now. They were happy – all of them – that seemed a hard thing to earn in their line of work. But they’d found it, somehow.
Her friends may be an absolute headache sometimes, but she loved them dearly.
Until Chimney vomited into the nearest trashcan, setting off an impossibly disgusting chain reaction amongst the group.
Maybe tonight, she’d love them from afar.
