Chapter 4: Fast Cars and Faster Planets
“What do mean you guys had a steamy ass make out sesh and immediately said “oh we’re totally friends” Buck is practically pulling his hair out as Eddie tells him what happened after you guys left the party
“Because we are friends Buck,” He tells him like it’s the simplest thing in the world, but Buck is ready to slam his head into the wall
“Friends don’t have make-out sessions!!!” Buck yells at him. Eddie glares at him to lower his voice and Buck rolls his eyes
“Okay but didn’t we- “
“That was one time!” Buck stops him, putting his hands over his mouth
“And we agreed to never talk about that again! In a bro way, not a “we were embarrassed to do that” way”
Eddie pushes his hands away and sighs “So why is it any different?”
“Because. You are both. Clearly. Into each other.” Buck punctuates every sentence with a clap
“Okay so fine! I’m done talking about this! I told you what happened there. Done” Eddie throws his hands in the air and gets up from his seat, storming downstairs. Buck slides his hand down his face, rolling his eyes to the freakin heavens, and follows after him
“Eddie- fuck okay fine. I’m sorry. I’m being pushy” He says as he reaches out for him. He pats his shoulder and gives it a squeeze
“No… I’m just. Being sensitive I guess. You’re right Buck, I do really like her… I’m just not ready to tell her that and she doesn’t seem ready to tell me that either, but I think she knows how I feel. And there’s still the question of "If she even does like me back.”
Buck’s hand covers his mouth, he stops for a moment. He’s gotta be there for his friend he’s gotta be supportive and loving, his friend is feeling vulnerable.
“I love you Eddie, thank you for feeling like you can come to me. But that’s the dumbest fucking thing you’ve ever said to me and I desperately want to kick your ass”
Nailed it.
“What- what how! How-“ Eddie is spluttering and Buck just shakes his head, and walks away, giving him both fingers.
“What did you say to him?” Hen asks as she walks by, Eddie throws his hands in the air again
“I don’t know!! All I said was I didn’t know if Y/N liked me back”
“After you told me that you guys made out half naked in the front seat of the fucking car And had that weird “friends” moment!!!” Buck yells across the station and Hen's mouth drops open, as does Chimney’s … and Bobby’s and that one probie Eddie can never remember the name of
“You did what?!?!” Chimney yells down from the stairs and Buck slaps his hands over his mouth, giggling
“Oh my god Eddie I’m so sorry”
“Hold up-I’m so- what?!?” Hen's mouth is wide open
“Jesus fucking-“ Eddie runs his hands through his hair, glaring at Buck, who’s having a giggle fit as he jogs back over.
Chimney and Bobby both come over too and Eddie feels like he’s been caught by his parents sneaking his girlfriend into the house
“I’m literally going to end your life” He points at Buck
“I'm sorry I didn’t mean to blurt it out”
“Did you guys only make out?” Hen asks
“I’m pretty sure Eddie would tell us if they had sex” Chim defends him
“Did you use protection?” Bobby looks like he’s gonna have a heart attack. They’re all talking at once and Eddie looks like he’s about to strangle Buck
“Oh my god no! God they just made out that’s it! I'm totally over exaggerating” Buck tries to backpedal as best he can, Hen looks at him skeptically
“You were pretty clear with what you said, it didn’t seem all…Buckified”
“First of all, hurtful. Second of all. Come on! Let’s just you know, leave him alone!”
“You think she’s told Maddie by now?” Bobby asks Chimney
“I’m literally texting her right now,” He says, looking down at his phone
“Okay come on- really! No! Bobby?!” Eddie gestures wildly and Buck tries to snatch Chimney’s phone
“Guys we should respect Eddie! We don’t need to know his personal-“ he’s trying to rein this entire thing back in but there’s no corralling this circus. Bobby would know, he’s been trying for years and it's never worked.
“Oh my god, they were at the beach under the stars!!” Chimney coos and Hen shakes Eddie’s shoulders
“That’s our boy!”
“We’re so proud of you” Bobby pats his back and Eddie looks up, trying to figure out which rafter to hang himself and Buck from.
“Seriously I’m sorry about Buck and Maddie… maybe I shouldn’t have told them”
“Eh I gave em hell already” Eddie chuckles “Besides, you have a right to talk to your cousins… even if one of them is the biggest blabbermouth I’ve ever met in my entire life”
You giggle and shake your head “As long as you’re not mad…”
“Of course I’m not mad sweet girl. I’ll talk to you later, I’m gonna be driving” You can hear the smile in his voice
“Just put me on speaker, safety schmaftey” You joke and he snickers before biting his lip
“So, I’ll come pick you up later tonight okay? We’ll go to the drive-in and then go back to that diner”
“Sounds good to me,” You say, your voice sweet and sappy. Maddie fake gags and you throw a pillow at her
“Alright… sounds good..” he says, but he doesn’t hang up and neither do you. You listen to him get in the truck and you both laugh lightly
“You’re supposed to hang up you know” He teases, his cheeks blushing.
“Yeah and so are you” You giggle, Maddie groans loudly
“Oh god don’t you two dare do this. I will hang up on both of your asses for you”
You both laugh and Eddie shakes his head “Bye sweet girl, I’ll talk to you later”
“Bye Eddie” You roll your eyes at the nickname, your cheeks feeling like they’re on fire. He hangs up and you set your phone down on your stomach before covering your face with your hands, squealing and kicking.
“What did he say that’s got you like that?” Maddie asks, looking over at you as she eats her chocolate-covered popcorn
“He called me “sweet girl” twice” you squeal all over again, literally rolling off the couch. Maddie laughs at you and sits forward
“Oh god Y/N are you okay?” She’s giggling with you and you sit up, using the coffee table to get up off the floor
“We’re going to the drive-in! Oh god a drive-in that’s so freaking cool”
“And romantic” Maddie adds, a teasing look on her face
“Oh shut up it’s not that romantic… probably”
“It’s super romantic!” She says, “And we need to get you something cute to wear”
“It’s not a date Maddie!” Your cheeks flush but… you want to dress up nice for Eddie admittedly and it’s not like you’ve had a chance to in forever… it doesn’t even have to be something frilly or overly dressy. Just something that made you feel sexy when he looked at you
“Fine, we can go shopping” You sigh, giving in.
“Let’s visionboard this, maybe we can just shop for one or two pieces” She grabs her iPad and pulls up a blanket document, casting it to the TV and you roll your eyes, coming to sit on the couch with her. She starts a Pinterest board and invites you to it
“Okay, so drive-in vibes. I’m thinking something jean, maybe a leather jacket?”
You spend the next half hour with her, going through Pinterest and putting together a little collage of the outfit you’re looking for. You’re going to borrow her Doc Martens and get a new pair of jeans shorts. You’re both undecided on the top and after going back and forth for another 10 minutes she finally gets up from the couch and goes digging in her closet. She’s way too pregnant for this but there’s no way you can stop her. She pulls out an old KISS t-shirt. The sleeves are rolled and it’s oversized.
“This is perfect. We tuck it in? Buy you some fishnets? And maybe a thong”
She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively and you throw a pillow at her
“I’m not wearing a thong!”
You and Maddie are getting ready to leave when she gets called into work for a couple of hours. She begrudgingly leaves you at her place, promising to be home as soon as she can and you can help yourself to anything in the fridge
“I promise we’ll have time to go shopping! Even if we have to go with Buck! You’re gonna look cute”
“Where are we going?” Buck’s standing in the doorway, one shoe still hanging from his foot
“Eddie and Y/N are going to the drive-in and we’re getting her a new outfit” She kisses you both on your cheek and says her goodbyes.
“You and Eddie are finally going on a date?” He asks as he closes the door behind Maddie and comes into the house
“Oh my god for the last time, it’s not a date! Eddie asked me if I wanted to go see The Mummy at the drive-in and I said yes! And then we’re going to the diner”
“Oh my god. Oh. My. God. You are literally describing a date!“
“I’m describing a cool and laid-back hang-out with a friend!!”
“I swear to god if you and Eddie say you’re friends one more time I’m gonna lose my shit”
“We are!!”
“Oh, that is it!!”
Buck tackles you over onto the couch and starts throwing a flurry of tiny punches. You’re laughing hysterically as he tickles your sides and pretends to slap you silly. He shakes your shoulders and you squeal, trying to shove him off of you
“Alright alright!! Enough” you wheeze, falling over onto the floor. He slaps your butt one last time and throws a pillow at you
“Just date already!!!”
The call comes to Buck first, and he’s out the door before they even hang up. He pulls you out with him to the car and you rush to get in
“What’s going on??” You ask, your voice panicked
“Eddie called I can barely understand him, he sent me his location. Call Maddie for me?”
Your phone is already ringing “Maddie?? What’s happening?”
There was a seven-car pile-up on the highway apparently and Eddie called it in with what clarity he had before he hung up and called Buck for help.
“Bobby’s gonna have his ass for calling me” He laughs nervously, his hands shaking as he drives. He’s not being careful in the least.
“Buck that was-“ He speeds through the red light, he’s not even paying attention at this point. Just rambling now
“He knows he’s not supposed to call me! I’m off duty! He knows I would come get him, no matter what. I’ll always come get him I’ll always come save him. Like he does for me? You know-“
You put your hand on his shoulder and scoot closer to him “Hey, hey calm down. You’re not driving safe okay? And we can’t get to Eddie if you’re not being safe. It’s gonna be okay.”
Buck slows down marginally but stops running through red lights. His hands flex on the steering wheel nervously and you smile softly, rubbing his arm trying to soothe him.
The scene is… less than ideal, Buck gets you two past the checkpoints and you run up to the officers on the scene, they’re delegating and everyone who can be is being moved. But you hear that something is leaking and they’re not sure what. They know it’s leaking from the truck that got hit and skidded a couple hundred or so yards from the rest of the pileup but that’s about it…The man is responding on his radio when people begin frantically yelling and running away.
The explosion knocks you backward from the way it shakes the ground, the pile of cars shakes and groans and the fire is heading towards them fast. Efforts are tripled to get people out of the cars but it’s not enough.
“I have to help them, promise me you’ll stay right here, please. I’m begging you, tell me you’ll stay right here”
“I’ll stay,” you tell him reluctantly but quickly
“ I’ll stay here, you go help”
Buck kisses your head before he runs off and you’re just left there, standing next to a man barking orders into a radio and all you can do is watch.
Buck is helping people and you can see he’s struggling to not look for Eddie but Eddie would agree their lives come first. You’re helping people get settled on the sidelines now, helping them sit down and giving them bottles of water while they wait for the paramedics to come to check them out.
You’re giving a mother an extra bottle for her kid when you hear someone yelling fire, the cars are starting to catch fire. Adrenaline shoots through you as look towards the pile-up, Buck is bringing an older woman to the side when he looks at you. You’ve got the same look in your eyes that he gets, that Maddie gets.
Buck tries his best to hold you back, his arms firmly around your waist as he catches you before you can run.
“No! You can’t! You know you can’t you have to stop!”
“But he’s in there “ you sob, trying to fight your way out of his arms
“They’ll get him Y/N I promise. I’ll get him my damn self if I have to!”
You fall to the ground, and Buck collapses with you and holds you against him. He’s rocking the two of you. There’s no time for this but he knows you. And he knows how you feel about Eddie…
“It’s gonna be okay, it’s okay” he repeats to the both of you, he’s shaking just as hard as you are as you both watch the pile-up of cars not even knowing where Eddie’s is. Buck waits until you’ve calmed down a little and lets you go before he goes running back into the danger zone, things are moving faster but it’s just not enough.
“Fuck this!” You yell as you go running past the barricades, past the cops screaming at you to stop, the first car you come up to is empty, and so are the next three. Two people are working to get one woman out and another three working on helping a family out. You run around the pile and Buck is standing there dragging a man away
“Are you shitting- Y/N what are you doing?!” Buck yells at you, still dragging the man. You grab his feet and pick them up, it makes the work faster and you get him to the sidelines where the paramedics take him
“No absolutely fucking not, no. Do you know what “no” means?!?” Buck immediately starts yelling at you and you shove him back toward the crash
“No one is gonna get saved if you keep yelling at me! Yell at me later!”
“Oh I'm gonna kill you, I'm so gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill you so hard you’ll-“
“Buck?!”
Both you and Buck freeze, he stops yelling at you and you look toward the pile
“Eddie?!” You both yell in unison running towards a shiny blue truck. Eddie is upside down, his head bleeding, his arms cut up. You both go racing towards the truck, Buck laughs through his tears as he carefully opens the front door. The truck creeks and all of you stop moving
“She has to come in Buck, she’s the only one small enough” his voice is so tired, you can tell he’s fading fast “I gotta admit, not even sure why the hell she’s over here in the first place”
“Be careful” Buck warns you as you get down on your knees, Buck tosses you his coat from the back seat of the truck and you put it over the glass, crawling in.
“Because she’s a Buckley. We’re stubborn as hell”
You crawl into the space, it’s a tight fit but Buck wouldn’t have been able to at all. “Hey handsome, hang out here often?” You ask as you start to work on getting him out of the seat
Eddie chuckles lightly but groans “God don’t make me laugh, it hurts. It’s getting pretty hot… fire coming over here?”
“You bet it is,” Buck says, helping to maneuver Eddie. They shouldn’t be moving him, they don’t know the extent of his injuries but he could die either way
“You, you look so good. Is that what you were going to wear today?” Eddie asks you, his eyes closing slowly
“Hey, hey stay with me,” you say calmly, although the way your heart is pounding and your hands are shaking kind of gives way the panic “I was going to change, this is kind of just my lounging outfit”
“Goddamn if that’s your lounging outfit you need to sleep over more often” He chuckles breathlessly, his eyes closing. "God I love you"
You don't hear it.
“Eddie?? Eddie?!” You pat his cheek lightly and he doesn’t respond
“Buck?!” Your voice is high-pitched and panicky
“Keep it together Y/N we got this c’mon you need to focus”
You take a deep breath and still for a second, he’s right. There’s no time for panic in this situation. You wait for Buck’s count and cut the strap of the seatbelt, he catches Eddie and pulls him from the wreckage. He isn’t making a noise as you grab his feet and bring him away. A couple of paramedics run over getting him onto a spinal board. Buck forces you to go with him, promising he’ll be safe and that nothing is gonna happen to him. He shuts the doors to the ambulance and you’re off to the hospital.
“Mrs. Diaz?”
You’re stirred awake by the Doctor gently shaking your shoulder. His voice is deep and honeyed. He’s a good-looking man, a delicious-looking man. His name tag, Dr. Pascal, has a cute little green animal sticker on it.
You’d been directed to a waiting room while they assessed Eddie yesterday. The nurse wasn’t going to bring you back to the family room until you turned on the waterworks, sobbing about the condition of your “husband”
“H-he was on his way h-home for our first-anniversary dinner. He accidentally left his ring at home today too!” you cry into a small handful of tissues. She rubs your back, shushing you and helping you into a chair. She sits with you for a little bit, consoling you and honestly, you do feel a little bad but god this is an award-winning performance.
There’s a little commotion outside of the room before Buck appears
“Oh baby girl,” he says softly as you rush into his arms
“Her brother” he mumbles to the nurse, shaking her hand. He hugs you tightly, rubbing your back as he quiets your crying
“Hey, it’s gonna be okay kiddo. No matter what you’re here for him and that’s all that matters. Can we go back soon?” He looks to the nurse
“I’m not sure, I’ll have the doctor come get you when it’s okay. I hope everything turns out sweetie”
“Thank you” you sniffle into Buck’s shirt
The wife bit might be a bit much and you’re a bit shy to even tell Eddie… but it’s kinda cute to be Mrs. Diaz right now, it makes you feel all giddy and sappy inside.
Buck called Bobby, letting him know what happened so he’d spread the word. He sits on the couch with you, putting his feet up on the small coffee table in front of him.
“You doin' okay?” He asks quietly and you shrug
“Are you?… he’s your best friend” You lean into him, your head on his chest. He puts his arm around you and lays his cheek on top of your head
“I’m not worried. He’s the strongest, coolest, guy I know. Cool guys don’t die”
His voice cuts out a little at the end and you hug him tighter “He’s not gonna die Buck. He just needs some rest”
Your voice is soft and warm but firm and you feel him sag into your arms. You and Buck sit together for hours, there’s not much of a change. Eventually, Bobby comes in, using his status, and finds you two asleep. He ruffles Buck’s hair and smiles at you. Buck stirs a little and wakes up
“Hey Cap”
“Hey son”
“Anyone else here?” Buck scoots you both over and Bobby sits next to him, putting his arm over Buck’s shoulders
“Nah, told em to stay home, that I’d handle everything. Which by the way, I’ll handle everything”
Buck smiles a little and nods, he leans back into Bobby and closes his eyes again
“Thanks, Dad”
You greet the doctor with a small, nervous smile, little tears appearing in your eyes again.
“You can see him now, he’s still asleep but he should be waking up soon. His body just needs time”
He leads you back to Eddie’s room, his arm around your waist for support. You look like you’re about to pass out yourself and he’s worried. He helps you into a chair next to Eddie’s bed and squeezes your shoulder reassuringly, promising to come check on you two soon.
“I’ll go get your brother”
Eddie wakes up to the annoying beeping of the machines around him. He blinks softly, cringing at the bright lights above him. He goes to raise his hand over his eyes, but stops short, hissing in pain. The lights are lowered and he feels soft hands on his arm, easing it back into place.
“Careful…you dislocated your shoulder”
Buck is in the cafeteria getting you two something to eat when Eddie’s eyes flutter open.
You’re at his bedside, pulling the covers back up over his chest. He reaches out for you anyway, wincing and you take his hand in yours
“Quit moving so much” you scold him and he smirks, looking around the room
“How long was I out for?” You hold a cup up and put the straw in his mouth
“A day or so, but like all of yesterday, and during the night. It’s 2 in the afternoon. So not like a day-day but like a day you know what I mean?”
Oddly he does know what you mean.
“How did you get in here?” He asks as he gingerly tries to sit up, You help him, raising the bed and fluffing up his pillow behind him
“Uh… I may have said I was your wife”
Eddie looks at you, blinking before he laughs “No- really how did they let you in” he chuckles lightly
You waved your fingers with a little smirk on your face, a simple gold ring was on your finger, and Eddie had one too.
“I was already wearing the ring in general… and Buck brought one from home for you last night. I told them you just left yours on the nightstand that day. And trust me that was an award-winning sob performance okay”
Eddie puts his hand up to yours. Your hand is so much smaller than his… so much softer. You wrap your fingers around his and stand up, leaning over to kiss him gently.
“I’ve never been so scared” You whisper honestly, your heart beating out of your chest. Eddie tugs on your hip, pulling you closer to him and you smirk, raising an eyebrow. You go around the bed, to his good side, and crawl in with him. He puts his arm around you and pulls you into him, kissing your head.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you sweet girl” he whispers into your hair, nuzzling his head against you. He doesn’t remember too much of what happened, but he does remember you and Buck saving him, that’s about the only thing he can remember
“I like you, Eddie”
Athena was right, life was too short to keep that from him. He freezes in his tracks, he’s short-circuiting and his heart monitor gives away the way his heart rate picks up when you say that. You giggle into his chest and he groans
“I like you too Y/N, I should have told you sooner. Like you know, the minute I saw you”
You blush at his words, looking up at him.
“Friends until we’re ready to move things forward?” You ask softly, carding your fingers through his hair. Your palm rests on his cheek and he leans into your touch.
“Friends until I heal up and can take you on a proper date”
It’s funny how things work out. You and Buck help Eddie into his bedroom, and then Buck helps bring your bags in from the jeep and into the spare room. You’re not moving in officially, just long enough to nurse Eddie back to health. Which Buck insisted on. The doctor said he’d be up and running again in a week or two but Buck couldn’t stand the idea of Eddie being home alone and, to be honest, neither could you.
“Please let me remind you both, that I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself”
He sits up a bit awkwardly, wincing, and Buck helps him. Grumbling as he fluffs up Eddie’s pillow
“You need help for at least three days minimum and with Y/N not having anything to do she’s the perfect nurse”
“You guys are acting like I’m a child this is ridiculous” Eddie crosses one arm over his chest, pouting especially because he can’t cross both
“You know if it makes you feel better, Buck bought you a surprise,” you say as you smooth out the covers on the end of the bed
“What kind of surprise?” Eddie perks up a little and Buck claps his hands, rubbing them together
“Oh ho ho just you wait and see. I’ll be right back!” Buck runs out of the room and you roll your eyes
“I don’t even know where the hell he got it”
“What is it?”
“Oh, I’m not telling you. And there’s no way in hell either of you is making me do it”
“Do what?” Before Eddie can even begin to guess, Buck comes running back in, he jumps on the bed, jostling Eddie and nearly knocking you off
“Tadaaaa!!!” He throws a clear costume bag in Eddie’s lap, it’s a nurse's costume complete with a cute little hat. Eddie bursts out laughing, holding onto his chest until he’s wheezing and crying. Both he and Buck are in a heap and your arms are crossed tightly over your chest as you turn away from them and slide off the bed
“It’s not funny!” You yell at them and they keep giggling their heads off, wiping at their eyes
“Oh come on, please? Please, please, please just once” Eddie has his hands clasped now, giving you the biggest, sweetest puppy dog eyes, and your mouth drops. Buck copies him and they put their heads together like they’re little angels and not the absolute assholes they’re being
“Why are you trying to get me into it?!” You point a finger at Buck and he gestures wildly
“Because that’s comedy gold!! And you know it’s just fun”
“How about you put it on!”
“Bet. Bet” Buck snatches it from the bed and gets off “If I do it, you do it”
“Deal”
“Wait no deal!” Eddie says “He’ll stretch it out! Go buy another one”
“Oh my god you’re right” Buck tosses it at you and grabs his keys from the bedside table
“I’ll be back!!”
You climb back onto the bed as Buck leaves, crawling over and fluffing up Eddie’s pillow again
“You guys are idiots”
“Yeah, but we’re your idiots. Maybe we can get me one and we can be a group for Halloween
You giggle and lay next to him on the bed, putting your head on the other pillow. He looks at you, a soft smile on his face.
“Hi”
“Hi”
“You really gonna put that thing on?” He nods at it and you blush
“Yeah. Because we both know Buck will, and I’m a woman of my word”
Eddie looks at you, a mischievous little smirk on his face
“You know…. I wouldn’t mind a little pre-show”
You give him a look “A pre-show huh?”
“I’m sure it would cheer me up… you know since I’m so hurt and all” he gives you those big ole puppy dog eyes again and you let your head fall back laughing
“You’re such a little shit”
You grab the bag from the bed and hop down
“Give me a minute”
Eddie isn’t sure what he expected, but he wasn’t prepared for when you walk back into his room. He can hear the sultry click of your heels as you walk slowly down the hallway… he shifts nervously, looking at the door.
“Surprise” you hold your arms up, waving your fingers “What do you think, I thought the heels sold it” You giggle as you do a little spin for him. “Buck is gonna look great in this, and I'm already hating”
Have you ever seen that scene in SpongeBob? Where little SpongeBob's are running around his brain trying to figure out his name and everything is on fire?
Eddie’s mouth drops wide open. He’s not sure where to look first, he’s not even sure if he should be looking. You walk over to him, placing your finger under his chin and closing his mouth
“Dropped somethin’ gorgeous” You purr and he slaps a pillow over his lap
“Go change. Go change right now”
“Yeah no I’m pretty comfortable like this actually” You hop up on the bed, crossing one leg over the other. You prop yourself up with your hands and let your head fall back. Eddie is speechless and mindless and he’s sure all the blood in his body has gone to one place in particular at this point
“You need anything, sir? Water maybe? A sponge bath” you whisper breathlessly, biting the tip of your finger.
His face flushes even deeper and you fall onto your back cackling
“Oh my god, Eddie you should see your face!”
Eddie watches you laughing at him, his eyes narrow as yours water. You sit up, still giggling and trying to hold yourself together
“I’m so-sorry” you snicker. Crawling up to him, you sit on your legs and lean forward a bit
“I’m sorry I shouldn’t be laughing so much at your reaction that’s not very-“ You don’t even get to finish your apology
Because you’re within reach now.
His arm shoots out and he pulls you in by the back of your head, you stumble forward and land against his chest, your hands in front of you. He pushes your lips together, greedily kissing you like he’s missed your sweet taste. When he’s sure you’ll stay there, his hand trails down your side before tossing the pillow aside and tugging you into his lap properly.
“Eddie wait you have to-“
“Did I say stop kissing me?” His voice is deep and a bit growly when he speaks, he’s glaring at you and you melt right into his lap like a dreamy little puddle.
Your lips frantically find his again and he moans in approval, your tongue lapping at his, before twisting in a lock for dominance. You feel his hand slide down over your ass and play with the fabric of the dress a bit like he’s tempted to pull it up.
And he is tempted to pool it around your waist and see just what other surprises you’re hiding.
He adjusts his hips a bit and rubs against you. He can feel that little wet patch beginning to form on the front of your panties. You moan softly and it’s like music to his ears, that’s one of the most beautiful sounds he’s ever heard fall from your lips. He ruts his hips against yours again and you whimper this time, holding onto his good shoulder. Your hips automatically come back down on his, grinding down a bit. He grins wickedly, trailing kisses across your cheek
“Tell me what you taste like” He whispers in your ear, nibbling it a little “Have you ever tasted yourself, angel?” He walks two fingers down your hip and around to the front of your dress
“Will you let me-“
“Oh my god, you guys, I can’t believe they actually had one in my-“
Buck comes into the bedroom, takes one look at the two of you, and screams at the top of his lungs
“Oh- oh my- oh- god oh-“ He gags. “Are you???? Did I??? Wait are you?! Oh my god are-!?!”
He can’t tell if he should be happy, or bleach out his eyeballs.
You scramble off of Eddie’s lap and slap the pillow over his hard-on. He yelps and you squeak
“Shit. Sorry. Buck no-no-no!!! It’s not what it looks like!!” You get off the bed and his mouth drops even more as you straighten out your dress
“Are those heels!?!”
“I thought it would be funny!! I thought they worked with the costume!!”
“I mean yeah they do but I’m never gonna find any in my size that goes with this”
“Okay fine I’ll take them off so it’s fair”
“Okay… anyway…” He screams again and falls to his knees, covering his face “Mama noooooooo”
You groan and fall backwards on the bed and Eddie just laughs at Buck’s theatrics
“We didn’t do anything!!” You yell over his crying and he struggles to pull himself up off the floor using the bed
“You slept with my best friend!” He points at you and your mouth drops open
“I did not!! We made out! That’s it”
“Well stop making out!”
“Do you want that?” Eddie asks, looking at him
“Oh my god of course not. I want my cousin and my best friend to get married so we can be related. Stop making out with him!!” He throws a pillow at you and it knocks you backwards
“I don’t know how to feel. Do I want you guys to finally fuck and get together? Uh yes?!. But will I also end my life if I ever see that? Also yes!!!”
“Can you just go change, you freaking cockblock” Eddie hisses at him and Buck gives him a skeptical look
“Yeah. Because you two would have had sex anyway. Sure.”
You roll over back next to Eddie and lay your head on his chest.
“He’s the worst”
“No, actually he is”
“I can still hear you guys!!”
Buck takes his time changing, you can hear him bouncing as he fights his ass into the tights
“Do you want help?” You giggle, Eddie is rubbing soft circles on your back, truly enjoying the way you’re lying with him in that skimpy little outfit.
“Oh my god” Eddie looks up when Buck walks in and does a little spin, matching your exact stance from earlier
“Oh my god” you repeat, your jaw dropping.
“He looks better than you do”
“He looks better than I do”

A confession of wishes for a future without you.
Ren sat up from the bed, he couldn't sleep. He's been lying down for hours now, eyes closed even, and yet he still couldn't find his own sleep. Morgana laid beside him, sound asleep. He carefully got up, so as to not disturb him. Making sure to walk quietly in his room while looking for something, anything to help him sleep. A book, a distraction, whatever it is that he can find. So he began his search and not even a minute later, stumbled upon a box. One far too familiar that he froze when he saw it. How many months had it been since he had that box now? He doesn't know, didn't want to keep track of that time, didn't even want to think about anything in regards to it at all.
A small black box with intricate designs painted in red, it wasn't locked, in fact, it can easily be opened. But Ren never did open it. He didn't want to, he didn't want to know what's inside it, didn't want to face the reality that Kaito— that he— that his friend is… He wanted to bathe in the pool of lies he made for himself, that Kaito's sudden disappearance isn't too much of a big deal, that someday, maybe just maybe, he'll come back again. He continued to lie to himself like that, ever since Kaito disappeared.
Perhaps, it's time to face reality once more.
Ren took a deep breath, opening and closing his hand in an effort to steady its trembling, in an effort to gather enough courage to open the box he had been avoiding ever since he first saw it, days after he lost all contact with Kaito. It was hidden underneath the bed, Ren moved it somewhere else, farther from him yet in its own safe place. Just like what he wished and hoped for Kaito as well, far from him yet safe. So he kept wishing, over and over again.
Please be safe, please be safe, please be safe.
That's how wishes work, right? To think it three times, say it thrice, and believe with all your heart for it to be real. So he held onto that hope. No matter how small it was, he held onto it like a precious gem nestled within his palm, threatening to shatter at the slightest jolt.
Ren took a few more deep breaths, until finally, he reached for the box and lifted its lid. In it was a letter, white with a blue ribbon, and a monocle beside it. Ren can feel the gears in his brain coming to a halt, slowly… slowly… it'd freeze in time, but not now, not yet. Mechanically, Ren stood up and walked towards the bed, he sat by the edge, near the window to put an arm on, to lean his body on. For support maybe, for a hope perhaps, that once he's finished reading the letter. Kaito would appear in his white suit with his cape flowing in the wind, the magician in the moonlight.
That's what this is, isn't it? A confession of secrets. He had an idea about it, infamous internationally wanted criminal, Kaito KID was Kaito Kuroba's other identity. He had a feeling that was the case but never pursued the thought, it'd be unfair, won't it? For Ren to intrude into Kaito's secret when he has his own secrets to hide. So it'd just be fair, to not know. To pretend to not know anything. To pretend that the thief he saw on the rooftop that day isn't someone he knows even though he's so painfully aware of it. It's only fair that way.
Ren took another deep breath, swallowing hard as he prepared to open the letter, setting aside the box with the monocle still inside by the window sill.
His heart skips a beat at the sight of his name, written by Kaito's hand.
“Dear Renren,” it starts, “How are you? Knowing you, you probably didn't open this letter until months had passed, I bet! ”
Ren quietly chuckled at that, he was right. Kaito was always too good at reading people. “That's alright though, I won't blame you because I'm such a gentleman,” A small face was drawn there, it looked like Kaito smirking at him, how cute. “I'm sure you've already seen the other item in the box, it was right on top of the letter you're reading now after all! ” He drew a monocle then. Ren held his breath as he read through the next passage.
“What I'm about to tell you, is a confession of a secret! You can't tell anyone about this! This is our own little secret.” A winking Kaito was drawn there, adorable. Ren giggled as he whispered to the wind, to himself, and to the Kaito that wrote the letter.
I promise.
“I'm Kaito KID.” Party poppers were drawn on both sides of that phrase, confetti doodled around it, he really was adorable… “Although… I had a feeling you already knew about this.”
He really was good at reading people.
“It's so anti-climactic doing this on paper too. I wish I could tell you in person instead, I'd love to see your reaction.”
Ren's breath hitched then. His mind slowly drawing a blank, please be safe, please be safe, please be safe. He repeated in his head. Like a chant, a good luck charm, filled with the hope burning his chest, threatening to explode.
“Renren… I know this is kinda cliche but by the time you're reading this, I probably didn't make it after all.”
Ren gripped the paper tightly then, and immediately let go. He shouldn't… ruin Kaito's letter. There was… there was still more to read through… A prank, maybe, a mistake perhaps, please let this be a nightmare he can wake up from. Ren took a deep breath, gathering himself to continue reading once more.
“Hey, Renren, I may not be there while you're reading this but I can tell you're sad right now! Come on, turn that frown upside down! You know I don't like seeing you sad, right…?
…I'm sorry.”
Ren inhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose to stop the urge to cry growing deep inside him, like a dam waiting to burst, a pipe waiting to break, a heart waiting to shatter. It took him a moment to continue reading it.
“I know, I know... there's a lot of questions you want to ask right? And I… I don't think I can answer any of it, after all...
Hey, Renren… How about a magic trick? It'd be hard to pull this off in a letter but here! ” In the next part, four cards were drawn face down, or rather, drawings of four small face down cards were partly glued to the paper, a small tape keeping it shut. “Pick one!”
Ren reached for the second card, carefully peeling off the tape, behind it revealed an 'Ace of Hearts'. Ren bit his lip then, to stop it from trembling.
“Hehehe, You chose the second card, didn't you? And no! Before you start thinking, 'it doesn't matter what card I pick, all of them is the same.' Well, then mister! You can open the other cards to double check it! I assure you that they aren't all the same! ”
And so Ren did. He carefully peeled off the tape from the rest of the cards.
The first card revealed an “I”
The third card revealed a “You”
The fourth card revealed a “Forever”
The last card, was stained with a droplet.
The droplet, was accompanied by another then.
Ren couldn't stop himself anymore. He put the letter on the window sill, slowly, carefully, with a trembling hand, he reached for the box, brought it on top the letter as weight. He reached inside it, for the monocle for him to hold, to steady his trembling hands. Ren sobbed, quietly, soundlessly, he cried in silence so as to not disturb anyone.
“…Ren?”
But that was all in vain at the sound of Morgana's voice.
“Are you… crying?! What happened?! What's wrong?!” Morgana shot upright at the realization, immediately running to Ren's side. Ren couldn't really answer him even if he wanted to, so Morgana looked around for answers. He didn't need to look far.
He stared at the box, at the letter, and at the monocle Ren was clutching. It was enough.
“…Oh.” Morgana's ears drooped and twitched, he didn't quite know what to do, Ren's cries makes his heart ache, he wanted to comfort him but how? Grief isn't so easily comforted. After thinking awhile, Morgana settled upon sitting beside Ren. “I'm… I'm here for you, okay?”
Ren couldn't answer still, but he was grateful for it. Grateful for Morgana, grateful that there's someone there for him while his world was breaking. Kaito was so unfair… selfish…
. . .
Seconds passed, and then minutes, Morgana had found where the tissue box is and moved it near Ren, he had found a water bottle nearby too, placing it just beside the tissue box. Minutes passed, and then hours. The empty trash can that Morgana moved near Ren as well now contained tissues, the water bottle that was once full was nearly empty. And the quiet cries that filled the room turned into quiet sobs.
Morgana rubbed Ren's back with his paw, in hopes of comforting him further. Until finally, Ren calmed down. Enough to take deep breaths to compose himself.
“…Thanks…” He whispered, voice hoarse.
“Mn… How are you feeling now?”
“…Tired.” Ren glanced at the letter.
“Why don't you wait until tomorrow to continue reading it?” Worry was evident in Morgana's voice.
He should, he really should just wait a bit before reading again, that fit of crying made him tired enough to want to sleep already but… He wanted to finish reading it tonight.
Ren gazed out the window, he stared at the sky, as dark as it was that faithful night. He stared at the stars flickering on and off, he remembered the split second he saw the stars reflected in the eyes of that magician as he turned to face them. He stared at the moon, peeking through the buildings, it was a full moon, much like that night. The view of the moon behind a mysterious magician donned in a white suit and top hat with a cape flowing behind him. It was a magical sight that Ren will remember no matter how much time has passed.
Ren took a shaky breath. He reached for the letter, the monocle in the other hand.
“I'm sorry…” Ren's eyes stung, “I deserved to be yelled at right now, you can call me unfair, and selfish, and stupid! You can shout it to the sky, I'll be sure to hear it. But Renren…
Ren. I wanted to tell you how I felt, because I doubt I'd have a chance to say it to you if not now. I'm sorry, maybe I should've told you about it before… this. But then I think, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for hurting you way more than how you're hurting now, all because of me. Just know that, I love you, and I want the best for you, even if I'm not around you anymore, even if I'm not there anymore. I'll always love you forever and ever! All the times we spent together were the most precious memories I have… Well, had.
Hey, Renren… Promise me you'll find someone else to make you happy, alright? Someone, something, anything! I want you to be happy. You better be looking up at the night sky with a smile! I'll be sure to see it.
I love you, Ren.”
