#eddie diaz x original male character

[babygirl-diaz]

You Mess With Him, You Mess With Me (TW: Physical Assault)

So this fic... I don't know how to tag it. There isn't any actual domestic abuse in it but a character assumes that there is.

Summary: In which, Buck mistakingly assumes Eddie's new boyfriend is abusing him and punches him.

***

"So when are you two tying the knot?" Karen asked taking a sip of her wine.

They were at a BBQ at Bobby and Athena's place, and Buck and Tommy were currently hanging out with Hen and Karen.

Buck looked at Tommy and smiled brightly at his boyfriend of two years. "We haven't had that conversation yet, but I am hoping it's in the books."

"Oh, it's definitely in the books," Tommy replied, returning his smile, before kissing him.

Buck kissed him back and pulled away to lovingly look at him.

As they continued talking, Buck noticed Eddie walk out of the back door, hand in hand with his new boyfriend.

Eddie had come out as gay only a year ago and had been dating Alex, for the past 3 months. Alex was tall and slim, about the same height as Eddie, with light brown skin, a practically shaven head, and bright blue eyes. He was quite good-looking if Buck said so himself.

Buck frowned when he noticed something off about Eddie. "Does Eddie- does he have a black eye?" He asked.

"Hmmm?" Tommy looked over to where Buck was looking and Buck saw him frown, too. "It does look like a black eye."

"Oh yeah, that's definitely a black eye," Karen replied. "Wonder what happened..."

"I think I know what happened," Buck replied through gritted teeth. He pulled his hand away from where it was resting on the small of Tommy's back and clenched it into a fist. "Baby, can you hold my beer? I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

Buck heard Tommy ask but he didn't stop. He didn't stop until he reached Eddie and Alex, who were talking to one of the other guests.

"Buck, what's wrong?" Eddie asked worriedly

Buck kept his attention on Alex, "Eddie, how did you get the black eye?" He asked.

"Oh! Alex and I were sparring, and he accidentally hit me," Eddie replied.

Buck knew Eddie was lying and, without another word, he charged at Alex and tackled him to the ground. He raised his fist and punched him right across the face.

"BUCK!"

"EVAN!"

"What the fuck, man?!" Alex yelled under him.

Buck raised his fist again to hit him when he felt hands on him, pulling him away. "LEMME GO!" Buck yelled. "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!"

"Evan, stop!" Tommy tried holding him back.

Buck felt his anger rise when he saw Eddie helping Alex off the ground. He looked him over before glaring at Buck.

"What the fuck was that? What is wrong with you?" Eddie asked angrily.

"He hit you!" Buck replied.

"It was an ACCIDENT, Buck. He didn't hit me on purpose. Like I said, we were sparring, and he missed and hit me across the face," Eddie told him.

"Really?" Buck asked when he heard the sincerity in Eddie's voice and immediately felt bad.

Tommy's grip loosened around him.

"Yes! Alex would never hurt me. How could you even think that?" Eddie asked.

"I barely know the guy!" Buck replied. "We've never even hung out. Hell, forget him, you and I barely hang out since he came into the picture."

"Wait... Are you jealous?" Alex asked. "You have a boyfriend!"

"That's not what Evan meant," Tommy explained. "He's possessive of his friends, especially Eddie."

"Well, I don't know how I feel about that," Alex replied and took Eddie's hand in his.

"You get used to it," Tommy replied with a small laugh.

"Buck, if you are worried that we don't hang out more or if you wanna get to know Alex better, then you should have told me. Don't go around punching my boyfriend," Eddie told him.

"I- I'm sorry," Buck apologized.

"I'm not the one you should say sorry to," Eddie told him.

Buck sighed and looked at Alex. "I'm sorry, Alex. What I did was uncalled for."

"That's okay, Buck. I'm actually happy that you're this protective of Eddie." Alex wrapped an arm around Eddie and smiled at him.

Eddie smiled back and leaned in to kiss his boyfriend before gently touching his face where Buck had punched him.

"I think the four of us should go on a double date," Tommy suggested.

"I like that," Eddie replied.

"Now come on, let's go get some ice for Alex and your knuckles," Tommy said, taking Buck's hand and pulling him away.

As he left, Buck turned to look at Eddie and Alex and saw Eddie giving him a thumbs up. Buck smiled and returned his thumbs up.

Buck x OC during the tsunami, OC knows buck is out of work and at the pier when no one else does. Tries to get ahold of anyone but no one is answering.

Back on the angst train! Woo woo! (Hah end me please)

Pairing: Evan "Buck" Buckley x OC

Characters: Evan "Buck" Buckley, Original Female Character, Original Male Characters, Christopher Diaz

Tag: Angst, Swearing, Near death experiences, Panic attacks, Injuries, Near drowning experiences, Dead bodies, Fluff at the end, Guilt

TW: Dead bodies, Near death experiences, Panic attacks, Injuries

What Raven remembers first is everything that happens before.

It's the middle of the afternoon and she's supposed to be giving a surfing lesson but the ocean....isn't there. It's receding far past anything that low tide normally warrants, she doesn't realize what's happening at first, as a trained and experienced surfer she should have known. She should have known it was a tsunami.

By the time she realizes what's happening- what's going to happen- it's too late. The wave is coming and it's building up speed and a height that threatens to destroy anything in its path, she runs back towards the surf shack yelling a warning to the other beachgoers that they need to run, get to high ground, get safe, but the massive wave is much faster than she is.

All too soon the wave crashes over her and she is dragged underneath. Thrashing, clawing, begging for air as she is tossed around like a rag doll at the mercy of the ocean.

The next thing she remembers is the pain.

Aching, searing, burning pain in her lungs as she desperately tries to right herself. Barely after breaching the waves she's pulled underneath a second time, the current is much stronger than it appears, black inky blots begin to distort her vision. Air. She needs air. Raven pushes towards the surface again just barely managing to grab a street light before she's pulled under once more, she gasps for air grateful for the sweet relief that it brings.

She's not on the beach anymore, that much is certain but what's not certain is where she is now. The waves have carried her off somewhere far and there's not much around her that's currently distinguishable...other than he street lamp that she's currently holding on to for dear life. Raven looks around at the buildings around her but any part of them that might mark their familiarity is underwater, she lets out a sigh as her breathing goes back to its regular pace before a scream catches her attention. There's someone in the distance screaming for help, she can't tell if she knows the voice but there's something in her that yearns to help whoever it is. With a deep breath she pushes off of the lamp post and begins to manuever through the current towards the sound of screaming, it's not that difficult to find when everything and anything and unfortunately everyone around her is drowned.

She finds the person screaming, seems to be another beach goer just like her, that has been pulled along by the current- he's not trapped by the water or any debris which definitely worries her. If he's not trapped then most likely he's injured. She swallows back the panic that rises to her throat and tries ti think, "What would Buck do?" but that thought only brings her more panic as another thought runs into her head. Buck had stopped by for what seemed like the first time in forever with Christopher- Eddie's son in tow, Eddie had dropped him off for the day so that he would actually get out of his apartment. Ever since the truck bombing and breaking his leg Buck had refused to get out of bed, far too upset by the implications of what his injury could mean. He didn't seem bothered by it at all when he dropped by instead telling her that they were going to the pier today.

The pier. By the ocean. Where a tsunami had just hit. A tsunami that had just completely engulfed the beachside.

Shit. Shit shit shit. She hadn't even thought about that. She hadn't had time to even think about that. Her heart began to pound in her chest as she tried to focus her attention and energy on helping the stranger in front of her. "Hey, hey, hey. Calm down it's okay, I'm going to help you out of this." She explains with as much courage as she can muster- it's all faked as beneath the surface she's nothing but a panic that threatens to overwhelm her just as the waves had. "What's your name?" She asks in an effort to help the man relax.

"M-My name's Gabe." He states albeit shakily, okay that's a step in the right direction, he's talking and responsive and not just screaming in panic anymore. Good.

"Alright Gabe, my name is Raven and I'm going to help get you out of here alright?" She says. He seems to believe her although she has no paramedic training whatsoever- seems like he's just happy to have help. She helps get him to somewhat dry-ish land, there's a bus that had been driving down the road when the tsunami hit, now it serves as their shelter. Now they can just sit here and wait for help. They wait for hours conversing about everything that has happened, she learns that Gabe is a lifeguard in training, he was supposed to be shadowing someone when the wave hit. She tells him that she actually works down at the beach, a little surf shack that only has three employees. It's just her, John, and Lou but that's all they need. John and Lou had been out towards the city's center when shit went down so she doesn't feel the urge to worry about them thankfully.

Eventually help comes and they're brought to a field hospital that's been set up for any survivors to meet up at that may have been separated by friends or family. The first thing she wants to do is call Buck, thankfully someone lends her a phone and she tries calling him but there's no answer which immediately makes her feel sick to her stomach. So instead she starts asking nurses and doctors and first responders if they've seen a young man- her memory fails her at what he was wearing- he's got tattoos so that's a good descriptor for him and as for Christopher she remembers his yellow shirt and red glasses. When they tell her to try the morgue her stomach sinks further and tears jump to her vision as fear claws at her once again.

She doesn't want to bring herself over to the black tent where there are dead bodies piled together..where there are men, women, and children who will never see their families again. She can't do that to herself. But her legs work more than she does, she walks to the tent and gets the list of bodies in the tent. Just as she's about to scan through the list of names she hears his- Buck's voice- he's talking in a hushed whisper on a phone, he looks like he's personally been through hell but he's here and he's safe and that's enough for now.

It's enough that he's alive.

Hey loves 🖤

So as much as I still have love for the MCU I’m feeling a wee bit burned out in regards to writing for the characters (or actors), and I’m branching out. I have a WIP based on a prompt sent in for Lucifer Morningstar x male reader and I can’t wait to get that one finished and posted, but in writing it I started thinking about my audience and if anyone would like to be tagged in things.

Please feel free to message/send an ask if you’d like to talk about or be tagged in any of my works for the following:

Buddie (Evan “Buck” Buckley x Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1 on Fox)

Sterek (Stiles Stilinski x Derek Hale from Teen Wolf)

Literally almost any ship from Teen Wolf, honestly

John Constantine (Hellblazer, movie version, NBC series, CW Arrowverse/Legends of Tomorrow)

Lucifer Morningstar (from the Lucifer series)

DeckerStar (Chloe Decker x Lucifer Morningstar)

Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries)

Matt Murdock (Daredevil on Netflix)

I Waited Ages

Hmmm... I don't know if I should make this a long fic and do more of Alex and Eddie and a slow burn of BuddieTommy... Lemme know your thoughts!

Summary: Eddie goes to a gay bar and meets someone

***

Eddie didn't know what he was doing here on his own. He always considered himself an ally but none of his LGBT friends ever asked him to accompany them to a gay bar. But he was recently exploring more of himself, discovering new things, and that's how he ended up here.

"Hey handsome, what can I get you?" The bartender, a big burly guy with a 10000-watt smile asked him. "Digging your pornstache, by the way."

Eddie blushed at the compliment and ran his pointer finger and thumb across his mustache to groom it. "Thanks," he said. "And can I get a whiskey? Neat."

"Coming right up," the bartender replied and walked away to presumably get his drink.

Eddie looked around nervously. Part of him was regretting coming here because he felt like all eyes were on him.

"Relax, no one is looking at you..."

Eddie turned around in his stool and almost punched the guy who had said that in his ear. But the guy had good reflexes and ducked, dodging his blow. "Shit!" Eddie hissed. "I am so sorry! You just scared me!"

The man chuckled and shook his head. "It's all good. I shouldn't have whispered in your ear like a creep."

There were definitely people looking at him now and probably thinking he was some kind of gay basher. Great.

"Oh god, just go back to your flirting, gentlemen! There is nothing to see here!" The man said loudly before taking a seat next to Eddie.

"You have good reflexes," Eddie commented.

"Thanks, learned it in the Army," the man replied with an exasperated tone. Eddie could tell he wasn't proud of that, but he didn't push.

"Alex, you good?" The bartender returned and gave Eddie a glare. "Listen, man, if you're gonna do that then I'll have to kick you out."

"Chill, Billy. I'm good," Alex replied. "It was just a misunderstanding. Can I get my usual?"

"Your disgusting Sapphire Martini?" Billy scrunched up his nose. "Coming right up."

"Why do you have to make it so good if you don't want me drinking it?" Alex laughed and shook his head. "Well, I'm Alex. As you can probably tell," he said coming back to Eddie.

"I'm Edmundo... Eddie," Eddie introduced himself and gave the man a smile.

"I kinda like Edmundo..." Alex replied and gave him a smile. He picked up Eddie's drink, took a sip without asking, and coughed. "Jesus Christ! Are you trying to kill me?"

"I didn't ask you to drink it," Eddie reminded him.

"Fair," Alex said with a roll of his eyes.

Eddie chuckled and took in his neighbor. Alex was tall but about an inch or two shorter than Eddie, he was on the skinnier side but had a broad chest and thick biceps, and warm beige skin with the brightest blue eyes. Okay, maybe not as bright as Buck's, but they were beautiful. Wait... Holy shit... Did he just admit that a guy, who wasn't Buck or Tommy, had beautiful eyes? That was new.

"You're staring," Alex told him in that rich voice of his as he took a sip of the blue martini that Eddie hadn't even noticed the bartender bringing to him.

Eddie blushed and looked down.

"Not that I mind," Alex added. "Kinda like being the center of someone's attention."

Eddie cleared his throat and changed the subject. "So what are you drinking?"

"You wanna try?" Alex offered the glass to him.

Eddie took it and took a sip, doing a double take. "That is... Surprisingly good."

"Right?" Alex asked. "Everyone always just brushes it off because of its color. Do you want one? Much better than that... poison you're drinking."

"It's just whiskey!" Eddie said defensively.

"Potato, potaato." Alex laughed once again and Eddie found himself drawn to that laugh. "Hey, Billy! Can you get my friend over here a Blue Sapphire? Put it on my tab!"

"You don't have a tab!" Billy replied. "And god, are you trying to scare away my patrons with that shitty drink?"

"Edmundo likes it!" Alex replied.

Eddie found that he didn't mind Alex calling him Edmundo.

Billy brought over the drink and gave it to Eddie, “It’s your funeral, my friend.” 

Eddie smiled and shook his head. "It's not that bad."

"Just because Alex is objectively hot doesn't mean you have to agree with him," Billy told Eddie, leaning in close to him. He patted his hand before walking away.

"He's just jealous," Alex replied and childishly blew Billy a kiss when the man flipped him off.

"So... Edmundo... what brings you here?" Alex asked.

"You've been itching to ask that, haven't you?" Eddie asked him.

"No, I've been itching to ask about that pornstache actually," Alex replied and winked at him. "The 70s called, they want their stache back, but I say don't give it to them because it really suits you."

Eddie laughed and shook his head. He hadn't laughed this much since Christopher left for Texas. "Thank you," he said appreciatively. "My friends just tease me about it, but I'm glad someone appreciates it."

"Well, they don't know how to appreciate beauty then." Alex was clearly flirting and Eddie found that he didn't really mind it.

After a couple more of Sapphire Martini, Eddie had let loose and was leaning closer to Alex as Alex talked about random things. There was something about him that reminded Eddie of Buck.

"So what do you do?" Alex finally asked. "I think now is a good point to ask that."

"I'm a firefighter," Eddie replied.

"Could you be any more stereotypical?" Alex teased as he finished off his third or maybe his fourth martini.

"Why? What do you do? Actually, lemme guess... You're a model slash actor."

"Close enough... I'm a Human Rights Lawyer, so I'm starving either way," Alex joked, smirking at him.

"I like your sense of humor. Reminds me of someone..."

"Oh no... You're not one of those, are you?" Alex asked scrunching his nose.

"One of who?" Eddie asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Those guys who realize they are gay after falling in love with their straight best friend?"

"My best friend is anything but straight," Eddie huffed.

"But he's in a relationship?" Alex asked.

"Are you a mind reader?" Eddie asked surprised. "But yeah, he is."

"So how long have you known that you've been in love with him?"

"I'm not," Eddie replied, but when Alex raised an eyebrow, he added, "Like a month ago, maybe. My son left to go live with his grandparents and I've been lonely so Buck and his boyfriend have been coming over every day to keep me company."

"Both of them? That's nice," Alex commented. "That must be hard for you, though."

"That's the thing... It's not. I am genuinely happy for them. If anything I am just jealous of their relationship. I look at it and I'm thinking I want that!" Eddie tried to explain.

"Hmmmm...." Alex hummed like he was thinking something. "Do you wish it was you with Buck instead of this other guy?"

"Not really. Tommy is a great guy. He makes Buck really happy and I could never imagine breaking them up... I just-" Eddie sighed defeated. "It's hard to explain."

"Okay... Edmundo... Lemme ask you this... Do you wish you were a part of that relationship?" Alex asked.

"What?" Eddie let out a surprised sound. "No! How would that be even possible?"

"Polyamory relationships are a thing you know," Alex pointed out.

"Like Sister Wives?" Eddie asked confused and tilted his head to the side.

Alex looked like he was holding back a laugh. "Yes, Edmundo, exactly like that. You and Tommy can be sister wives."

Eddie frowned. "I feel like you are making fun of me."

"I would never!" Alex let out a fake gasp. "No, but I think you should tell them how you feel."

"Are you crazy? They're gonna think I've lost my mind! They already think I'm being weird. That's why I came here today. To take my mind off them," Eddie explained.

"And you found me! Trust me, I am great at making people forget about the love or loves of their life," Alex said, winking at him. "You wanna come back to mine?"

"No, he wouldn't," a familiar stern voice said from behind them.

Eddie turned around and saw Buck and Tommy standing there with identical frowns on their faces.

"How did you find me?" Eddie asked confused. "Are you two tracking me or something?"

"No, we just came by to have a drink... and found you," Buck said confused. "What are you doing here, Eddie?"

"Having a drink?" Eddie lamely supplied.

"Out of all the bars in L.A. A gay bar is the one you decided to come to?" Tommy asked.

Eddie shrugged. "It's close to my place and I heard good things about it."

Buck sighed and rubbed his forehead like he had a headache coming on. "You-"

"Come on, let's go, we can talk about this back at your place," Tommy quickly chimed in.

"NO!" Eddie said adamantly. "I wanna go back to Alex's place."

"You what?!" Buck exclaimed. "How drunk are you?"

"I am perfectly sober, thank you very much," Eddie huffed.

"Well, you're obviously not if you wanna go home with some random guy!" Buck replied.

"Evan, calm down," Tommy said grabbing his boyfriend's arm.

"I don't get why you're so mad?" Eddie asked. "I was so supportive of you when you came out!"

Alex leaned in close to Eddie and whispered, "He's jealous," in his ear. He then took Eddie's earlobe between his teeth and started kissing behind his ear.

"Hey! Get away from him!" Buck yelled and tried to lunge at Alex, only to have Tommy pull him back.

"Whoa... Easy there, tiger," Tommy said. "Eddie, do you really wanna go home with Alex?"

"He said he does, didn't he?" Alex chimed in.

Tommy glared at him in return. "I wasn't asking you."

"Okay, you know what? I don't have to stand here and listen to this guy." Buck made his way over to Eddie with a dark look in his usually bright eyes that kind of turned Eddie on.

Before Eddie knew it, Buck scooped him up and threw him over his shoulder. Eddie yelped and kicked his feet. "Hey! Let me down!"

"No, you're coming home," Buck replied.

Tommy looked at them amused and he looked like he was proud of Buck.

When Buck started walking, Eddie looked at Alex over his shoulder and found the other man smirking.

"You're welcome!" Alex called out.

"I'll see you around!" Eddie replied. "Find me on Instagram... It's EddieDiazLAFD"
