@bucktommyweek Day One: Alternate first meeting.
Fratboy fwb AU.
Freshman Evan Buckley and sophomore Tommy Kinard had an instant connection when Evan pledged the fraternity and became fast friends.
Flash forward to Bucks junior year.
One night, they cross the line and give into the attraction and want that's been building for the past two years, and start a friends with benefits situation.
Feelings start to develop, but neither want to ruin what they have.
Until Buck is brave enough to ask Tommy if they can give this a real try, but Tommy is graduating, and he doesn't want to hold Buck back and have the distance put pressure on them so he lies to him and says what they were doing was fun and maybe they should just leave it as just a fun college fling.
Both heartbroken they go their separate ways.
Tommy moves to LA and joins the 118, while Buck travels the country and eventually ends up in LA.
On Bucks' first day as a firefighter, he sees the last person he ever thought he would see at his assigned station.
Fuck.

I'll add on to this!
He doesn't like the Yankees.
He might not like New York generally ("New York bitchiness is a compliment?").
He ostensibly had at least one girlfriend when he was at the 118 under Captain Gerrard.
By the time Bobby starts at the 118, he's telling people it's better to be single.
He doesn't like Bella Swan because she's "too broody."
He initiated a hug with Chimney.
He thinks of the old 118 as a "regressive place."
He seems to have been a favorite of Captain Gerrard's, and he actively participated in harassing Chimney when he started at the 118.
He didn't actively participate in harassing Hen, but he didn't stick up for her either.
By the time he leaves the 118, Hen and Chimney have become friends with him despite the rocky start.
He was close with Sal Deluca but didn't try to defend him when Bobby disciplined him.
He loves Hollywood's oldest Italian restaurant.
He's willing to go with Buck to his sister's wedding even after a disastrous first date.
He bonded quickly with Eddie but didn't come out to him right away.
He's very serious when he's flying.
He can be bluntly pessimistic ("We're probably all gonna die anyway").
He's happy about a surprise party.
He describes being closeted as "lying about who I really was."
He prefers Revenge of the Sith to Return of the Jedi (unless he's lying lol).
He quickly earns the approval of a middle schooler.
He's willing to leave a date early if it's going badly.
He's doesn't hesitate to tell Buck he guessed the wrong coffee order.
He's jealous of the 118's family dynamic.
He does finger guns/points at people for emphasis.
He gives fist bumps and high fives.
He was surprised that Buck wanted to get to know him and was trying to get his attention.
He volunteers to teach people things.
He's a good kisser :)
He goes to the movies without deciding what to see ahead of time.
Another day, another time to debunk shitty takes I see online.
I've seen a multiple of people pointing out that "we don't know anything about Tommy" and how could people ship him with Buck (nevermind that the ship is canon and always will remain so) when we know so little about him?
First of all, I'd actually make a point to say that we as of now already know more about him then all the other LI that Buck or Eddie ever had in the show.
I shall make you a list, so that you may remember it more easily:
- He likes cars and he's a good mechanic (extrapolated by the fact that Eddie explicitly said that fixed/improved his engine)
- He likes playing basketball and he's also quite competitive ("we'll make short work of them" said in reference of Buck and Chim)
- He's sarcastic (the closet line)
- His favourite film is "Love, Actually"
- He loves Monster Truck and Craft Beer, and MMA
- He has a big scar on his chest and it came from a fire in a factory
- He's a very skilled pilot, able to manoeuvre in a hurrican, and doesn't waver in the face of danger
- He likes watching and practicing Muay Thai
- He was a pilot in the army
- He only came out when he started working in Harbor, but prefers not to publicise his sexuality
- He doesn't like Bella Swan (and it's implied he might like Jacob more) and he watched the Twilight movies
- He likes to drive his friends to events
- He has friends that can get him high up tickets for shows in Vegas
- He has permission to fly airplanes for personal reasons when he's not on the clock
- He likes to be helpful and he's thoughtful (driving Eddie to check out his sprain, going to Buck's to clear out the air without prompt, immediately agreeing in helping the 118 with the whole ship operation, trying to get Buck to be at ease on their date)
- He's loyal (he didn't rat the others out when the chief called on their way to Bobby)
- He's a smooth flirt
- He can do a mean mouth static (at least in his opinion)
- He pays the bill on first dates
- He is very much the definition of carpe diem (kissing buck was very much shooting his shot)
- He checks for consent
- He kept contact with Chim ever after he left the 118
- Chim called him for help in the episode Broken
- He went to the 217 and opened the spot for Buck at the 118
- He participated in the betting pool Hen made on how long Bobby would last at the 118 captain
- He apologises when he's in the wrong and is shown to be able to correct his behaviour
- He doesn't like chickens (lol)
- He likes the film fight club and can quote it
- Implies to have dated people he met on a call
See? We know quite a lot actually. So you may get off your high horse how about that.
I don't think I missed anything but do let me know.
