Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

Summary
“What was it like?” Eddie makes a frustrated sound, squirms a bit more and Buck really wishes he would stop because all this moving around is not mixing well with the amount of vodka shots in his stomach. “The kiss. You never said.”
Buck frowns. “With a man? Or with Tommy specifically?”
“With a man, I guess.” Eddie is quiet for a bit, then adds, “Never mind. It’s stupid.”
“It’s not stupid,” Buck replies, absent-mindedly patting his stomach again. He yawns, and says, “I don’t know. It’s a kiss, you know. If you close your eyes, it’s not that different.”
aka that thing Angela Bassett said that Oliver told her about the bucktommy kiss inspired me, god bless, so i got rid of Tommy and rambled for 11k words about Buck and Eddie kissing drunk at the bachelor party and then not using their words about it

Summary
“What do you think they were arguing about?” Harry enquired, folding his arms across his chest.
“Eddie’s probably just mad that he doesn’t have $8,001 in his bank account…” Ravi mumbled under his breath, from his position stood next to Harry.
“Yeah, too bad he’d never actually bid on Buck, that would put us all out of our misery” Harry said, laughing under his breath.
Wait a minute… that’s it!
“Harry, Ravi… you guys are geniuses” Chimney said, breaking out into a mischievous grin.
Both Harry and Ravi turned their heads in confusion, looking at Chimney as if he had grown a second head. Chimney, stood next to them, looked back and grinned even wider.
“The auction! That’s how we’ll get these two to talk to each other! They can’t escape if they have to go on a date… with each other” Chimney said.
OR
Fed up of Buck and Eddie tip toeing around their feelings for each other, Chimney decides to lead the 118 into a dastardly scheme to bid on Buck and Eddie at the LAFD bachelor auction, setting them up on a blind date with each other. The aim is for them to have an honest conversation about how they feel... will it work? Don't worry, Chimney has a plan for that.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Ravi said quietly, the moment she sat down beside him. His voice caught on the word, dropping into a whisper. “I didn’t mean to lose it like that. I just-”
“Hey, hey, none of that.” Hen patted his shoulder, interrupting him. “I’m not here to get you in trouble or anything like that. You’re not a kid.”
That, of all things, got his attention. He still refused to make eye contact with her, but he laughed drily to himself, sounding anything but amused. “I kind of wish I was sometimes, you know? Like a real kid. Not a sick kid, or a brave kid, or a kid who’s ‘so mature for his age’.” Wry sarcasm dripped off his voice and he sighed bitterly. “Just a normal kid.”
