Leave me alone Doctor David lemme livešš
walk with me here. 8x15 opens and weāre in el paso, eddie is at home on his couch looking at the unanswered texts heās sent to buck. (buck always answers, even when heās on shift, why isnāt he answering!!) he sends one more text āhey kinda getting worried here. just send me some proof of life pleaseā. he sighs puts the phone down and turns on the tv. big flashing breaking news sign āDANGEROUS VIRUS THREATENS DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. FIRST RESPONDERS TRAPPED AND QUARANTINED INSIDE BIO LAB.ā the news helicopter shows shows the scene and we see all of the tents and military equipment and off to the side, the 118 engine. then the reporter (bonus points if they bring back taylor) āweāre getting word that a dangerous virus is in danger of being released into the city of los angeles after a fire broke out in the laboratory and an explosion resulted in the total lockdown of the facility, trapping first responders inside with this highly contagious and deadly virus. no word yet on the fate of the brave heroes of fire engine 118, or what this could mean for los angeles as a wholeā. cut to eddieās devastated face and then we cut to 911 title card.

I wanna show you silly posts that remind me of you and i wanna buy our usual snacks and air out everyoneās dirt?? AND YOUāD RATHER BE MAKING OUT?????? WITH YOUR PARTNER?????????
worst thing that can happen to a girl is her friend gets a boyfriend
Two neighbours who live in front of one another's house (and who have never spoken to each other beforehand) suddenly find themselves practicing their musical instruments, window open, at the exact same time, days after day, until they start making music together.
I am definitely not inspired by my brother's piano talent and my front neighbour's trumpet talent. They don't know each other, I don't even know her name, but I ship it.
S8 Ep6 || S3 Ep4 - LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

Alert me if you do end up writing it ;)
does anyone have any ideas for poolverine fics bc iām dying to write them but for some reason i canāt think of anything
the selling of the truck (potentially) just breaks something in me. just a little bit. because eddie does not invest in himself hardly ever. so to see this truck that... okay the way he got it, not great... but this thing he earned and got for himself that he is now giving up to fit in a box that isn't right for him. for chris, eddie would give up anything and everything. but first, it was the job he loved, then the city and home he loved. and now he is going to be without the job that gave him purpose again, PLUS he is getting rid of that truck. it's like eddie is making himself smaller and smaller, cutting out pieces that don't fit, so he can be this thing for chris. because if Chris was traumatized and running from him, but happy and thriving with his parents.... well, maybe the issue is eddie. but if eddie can be something else... can figure out how to be exactly what chris needs, who cares if he is a shell of himself if it means chris is happy, healthy, and taken care of. perhaps this is the penance he must pay. it's like the well... he cut his own line for a kid, and now he is under 40 ft of mud. he has two choices... wait and potentially let himself die or fight like hell to get back to his family. he's still alive down there. he's screaming, pounding against the mud. he won't give up without a fight. but for those few uncertain moments, he still wonders if he will make it out alive.
No cuz when he was saying āJust take my handā i kept screaming āno no no no no no you canāt do that to him, please you canāt just DO that to him, no no no NO - oh thank god.ā
Did someone already talk about HOW PRESENT Buck 1.0 was in this ep?
"just grab my hand" the lady on the cross -> Devon
Bobby stopping Buck from smashing something : pipe baby's wall -> Elmer's door
No Eddie
Sleeping with people without having feelings for them
Living in someone he loves' house
āCan I ask you a question?ā Buck blurts out as Eddie pours creamer into their coffee. Itās the algae creamer that Buck uses. Eddie picked it up when he was out grocery shopping last. Even though he was shopping for his house and not Buckās. Even though he doesnāt use it. Eddie buys a different one for his. Some fancy caramel macchiato type stuff that he splurges on because Frank told him to treat himself and Eddie apparently can only do that with coffee creamer.
āGo for it.ā Eddie hums in reply, clicking the tops shut and carrying the creamer bottles to the fridge. Heās wearing old sweats with a hole in the thigh. Bare toes peek out from the bottom. His shirt is old and loose, dipping at the collar. Thereās an unknown stain on the chest. Heās got day old stubble growing on his jaw and his hair is sleep ruffled and soft. He looks beautiful.
āWanna get married?ā
Eddie fumbles the bottles, the fridge door open, and his head snaps over to Buck, mouth parted in surprise and eyes wide. He says nothing.
āLook, h-hear me out,ā Buck steps forward, rubber spatula gripped tightly in both hands. The eggs heād been about to cook for them for breakfast remain forgotten beside the stove. āWeā¦we love each other. We basically live together. Iām pretty sure Iāve been helping you raise your son?ā Buck releases a slightly manic laugh. āEddie, Iāve never felt so comfortable or at home with someone. Iāve never known another home like I know yours. Iāve seen you at your absolute worst and your absolute best. The same applies for you with me. Andā¦and we still love each other. We keep coming back to each other. And Iā¦I do. You know? L-love you. As a best friend. As a work partner. Asā¦as my person.ā
Eddie is still staring. Mouth open. Eyes wide. Creamer bottles in hand.
āI have loved you since probably the moment I met you. And itās only grown and blossomed intoā¦ā Buck gestures wildly around the room, āThis! Eddie. Weāre already married. Why donāt we make it official?ā
Buck feels like heās run a marathon when he finishes. His chest rises and falls rapidly. His heart is going crazy in his chest.
Eddie slowly turns, puts the creamers away, and shuts the door. Buck watches. Waits.
And then Eddie is walking towards him and Buck canāt read his expression. He always has known what Eddie is thinking. Itās one of the many things Buck loves about the man.
But right now? When Buck has bared it all out in front of them? He has no idea what Eddie is thinking.
āYouā¦ā Eddie trails off, shaking his head. āBuck.ā
āIāā
āAm I allowed to at least take you on a single date before you propose?ā Eddie cuts him off. And a beautiful smile is lighting up his face. Itās soft and sweet and all Buckās.
āIā¦y-yeah. Of c-course.ā
āGood.ā Eddie sways forward, hand resting on Buckās hip, and he brushes his mouth across Buckās. A first kiss. Their first kiss. But it feels like one theyāre exchanged thousands of times. āBut for the recordā¦yes. Iāll marry you.ā
Buck grins back, looping his arms around Eddieās neck and pulling him back in for another kiss. This one longer and deeper.
Eddie snorts when they pull apart, just enough to look at each other. āProposing to me and we arenāt even together.ā
āWeāve always been a little together.ā
āOkay. That may be true.ā Eddie grins, āCan you make breakfast now? Iām hungry.ā
I am weird.I am here. I am in so many fandoms i honestly canāt even count it anymore. Also letās go a-spec peeps!! Idfk what im doing
