first and last 🧡

I was just minding my business and then I thought about all the past upgrades of Buck and how his big issue is thinking he needs to be something specific to deserve space in peoples’ lives and then remembered Eddie saying, “you don’t have to be anything for anybody” and felt a spiritual school bus crash into me

Actually. God. Like. Every time Buck “upgrades,” he’s doing it because of some perceived fault or personality chafe because he survives on the praise of the people he loves and he is so afraid that if he doesn’t perform buckness correctly and has something to offer people they’ll leave him. But even at his most annoying Eddie is always always like 🙄 of course I forgive you. Give me a hug you idiot. From day 1!!! Buck is scared he isn’t enough and acting like a shitty kicked puppy and Eddie is just. 🥰 let me find this man’s cheat codes and become his favoritist person in 48 hours flat. And Buck tries to change himself for Abby and she ghosts that version and Eddie’s like. Well, this version is good enough to let you past my walls and let you step into my life with my son. Step in with us! And then the way Buck feels the most worth — firefighting — is taken away and Eddie says, actually, just you being here is enough for me and Chris. And then Buck is like, well I lost him. I couldn’t even do that right. And Eddie says, nope! You saved him. That’s how he remembers it. And then I’m not even going to tell you for a year but I’m giving my son, the heart that lives outside my body, to you. Because of who you are, already. And I love you even as clipboard Buck (but that’s just because I’m in love with you). And then Buck is just the guy standing there who couldn’t do anything and Eddie says. Wrong again 🥰 you pulled me under the truck. In a year you’ll pull me back out of the desert. You save me over and over again — that’s how I remember it. Here is my son. Because no one will fight for him as hard as you will. You’re not expendable. Every version of you. Even Evan.

9-1-1 2.01 - Under Pressure

“So, uh, what’s with the lack of pants?” Buck does not turn to look at Eddie, no matter how much he may want to. His eyes have wandered down to Eddie’s bare thighs enough times to be considered somewhat lecherous.

“Oh, yeah,” Eddie chuckles, loud and bright. “I was doing Risky Business."

Buck can’t help himself this time. He turns to blink at Eddie, drawing a blank on what exactly is a 'risky business.' It sounds dirty enough and he forces his eyes to stay on Eddie’s sweaty hair and flushed rosy cheeks. Okay, that’s not helping either, not when Eddie looks thoroughly debauched and—

“Risky Business?” He asks instead of following that train of thought.

“Yeah,” Eddie says. “You know the Tom Cruise movie from the 80’s, where he’s dancing around in his living room?"

Eddie gapes. “Risky Business! Come on, you have to know Risky Business!"

Buck frowns, remembering Maddie’s teenage crush on Tom Cruise. Has he seen this so called Risky Business before? Surely, he’d remember if a man dressed like Eddie were dancing around in his tighty whiteys.

“No? I really don’t think—"

Oh. Oh.

It hits him all at once. He brings the beer up to his lips and takes a swig.

Yeah, he remembers Risky Business.
