    Summary

    “Eddie,” Buck says, feeling on the verge of hysteria. “It’s kind of a personal thing.”

    “Well— yeah,” Eddie says. “If you’re doing it for sex. But that’s not what you’re doing. Right?”

    Buck thinks about that for a moment. “I- I guess not?”

    “Okay,” Eddie says, nodding. “So— it’s not any different than anything else we do to help each other then, right?”

    “I—” Buck tilts his head. “I don’t know. Isn’t it?”

    — in which buck and eddie slowly come to the conclusion that getting each other off for pain relief is just one of the many totally normal, platonic things they do together.

    Summary

    “There’s no way you want me as much as I want you.”

    Eddie scoffs. “Try me.”

    “I want to, like, hold onto your ankles and never let go.”

    Without missing a beat, Eddie offers: “I want to handcuff myself to you so that you can never go anywhere without me.”

     

    Or, Buck worries about wanting too much. Eddie literally and metaphorically scoffs in his face.

    Summary

    Hawthorn

    Crataegus

    "In Ancient Greek mythology, Hymenaios, god of the wedding ceremony, carried a hawthorn--thought to be sacred--in a flaming torch. Ancient Greek brides used the blossoms in their bouquets... leading to hawthorn's associations with hope in love." ("Floriography," Roux)

    In a world where everyone coughs up a flower the day they're born, baby blooms celebrate life, while Hanahaki disease foretells death. Whether it's a secret or a prophecy, this is how the phenomena influences people, relationships, and maybe even love itself, within the lives of the 118.

    Summary

    "It's not what it looks like," Buck blurts.

    Bobby's eyebrows reach for his hairline. "So you weren't violating the one-firefighter-per-shower regulation?"

    "We," Buck sputters. "I mean, okay, yeah. We were, but we—"

    "We were figuring out breakfast," Eddie cuts in.

    "Well, next time, figure it out in different stalls."

    Summary

    "You're serious?" Eddie manages, voice quieter than he intends. "I don't- I wouldn't even know what to do, man. Just- hold it there?"

    He hears Buck's breath catch even through the crackly line. "Yeah. Or you can, like, roll your hips, grind against it. Or you can ... do little rotations with your wrist." A pause. A lengthy, pregnant pause that should indicate that Buck is about to say something insane that shatters Eddie's world, but Eddie's apparently naive enough to think this is still at least a semi-normal conversation until Buck says, "I could show you."

    Eddie's stomach does a somersault, heart suddenly thundering so loud he can barely hear himself think. "What?" He croaks out.

    "I could show you, it's - it's… not a big deal. It doesn't have to be." He's not sure which one of them Buck is trying to convince with that. "Just... a guy showing another guy how to get off."

    or: Eddie is struggling to keep up with his sex drive after starting T. If only someone else could lend a helping hand.
