#in a perfect world they are also dating tommy kinard

[smallandalmosthonest]

my ultimate 911 spec is we get the slowest burn before buddie canon, buddie does secret relationship until they’re sure/talk to christopher, chris reacts poorly/says he’s fine but isn’t/is scared of this all blowing up his life, buddie takes a step back/breaks up (mirroring eddie leaving the 118 for dispatch), like half a season or more goes by, buddie back together, season finale buddie wedding (maddie gives buck away somehow even if not officially we get a big buckley siblings moment) (chris is eddie’s best man), next season we get conflict from the being-married-at-work of it all (buck is told firmly he cannot go by “buckley-diaz” at work/on his turnouts because then it sounds like people are talking to both him and eddie at once; something happens where one of them is at risk and the other defies a direct order and the brass wants bobby to transfer one of them; bobby is looking at retirement and encourages them both to think about their careers long-term and realize that may mean leaving the 118), fundamentally their dynamic doesn’t change in ensemble scenes except for the fact that buck is constantly slinging his arm around eddie’s shoulder but otherwise they are just like they’ve always been. this is my vision and i am manifesting it.

Buck's favorite words

Just a little idea I couldn't get out of my head so enjoy this ficlet 🙂

***

Buck isn't sure why he likes the word so much, but every time he says it, it's like sugar on his tongue. It makes him feel warm and fuzzy and like everything is right with the world.

"Sorry, I'm flattered but I'm seeing someone," Buck says to the pretty girl he's just evacuated from a 3-alarm blaze. His voice is kind but firm, a far cry from the Buck of old who might have preened at the attention.

"Oh come on, handsome hero man. Give me your number," she purrs, reaching out to touch his arm.

Her relentlessness gives Buck a little push, and he finds himself using the word for the first time in public. It rolls off his tongue easily, filling him with a quiet pride.

"Sorry, but like I said, I'm taken," he says, gently stepping back. Then, with a smile that's both apologetic and genuinely happy, he adds, "I have a boyfriend."

The word 'boyfriend' sits in the air between them, and Buck feels a warmth spread through his chest.

From then on, he finds himself saying it as often as he can, each time feeling that same warmth, that same quiet joy.

At the flower shop, where he's picking out a bouquet for his and Tommy's dinner date, the florist asks, "Do you need help picking something out for your girlfriend?"

"Boyfriend, actually," Buck replies with an easy smile. "And I'm good, thanks."

At the coffee shop, he leans on the counter, eyes scanning the pastry case. "Do you have any cranberry orange scones? My boyfriend loves them," Buck asks the barista warmly.

Later, at the bar waiting for Tommy, a pretty girl sends a drink over. Buck catches her eye, raises the glass in thanks, and then gently shakes his head. When she approaches, he's ready with a now-familiar phrase: "I'm flattered, but I have a boyfriend."

Each time he says it, 'boyfriend' feels more natural, more right. It's not just a word anymore—it's a declaration of who he is, who they are together. And Buck finds he loves that feeling almost as much as he loves Tommy.

There's nothing better than the word boyfriend. That is, until a new word takes its place.

At a restaurant, the waiter approaches with menus in hand. "Would you like to order an appetizer while you wait?"

Buck's eyes light up, a grin spreading across his face. "No thanks, my fiancé should be here soon." The word 'fiancé' rolls off his tongue like honey, sweet and perfect.

On a work call to a new gym, Buck finds himself pacing with excitement. "Wow! This place is nice. Do you have a free trial? I bet my fiancé would love to try it out." He can't help but emphasize the word, feeling a thrill every time he says it.

Later, meeting with the wedding caterers, Tommy sits right next to him, their hands intertwined. Buck squeezes Tommy's hand as he says, "No, we definitely don't want German chocolate cake. My fiancé is allergic to coconut." He glances at Tommy, catching his soft smile at the word.

With each use, 'fiancé' becomes more than just a title. It's a promise, a future, a declaration of forever. And Buck realizes that while 'boyfriend' was wonderful, 'fiancé' is magical—a constant reminder of the commitment they've made and the life they're building together.

But the magic of 'fiancé' only lasts for so long before it's also replaced with something even more profound.

At the hospital, Buck's heart races as he approaches the reception desk. "Hi, I'm Evan Kinard. I just got a call that my husband was here." The word 'husband' feels both new and familiar on his lips.

The receptionist nods reassuringly. "Oh sure, it looks like your husband has just been discharged. Just smoke inhalation and a minor concussion."

Later, at Maddie's place, Buck finds himself chuckling as Chimney and Tommy argue about movies. He turns to his sister with a grin. "I don't know whose husband is more stubborn, yours or mine."

At the 118's karaoke night, Buck takes the stage, his eyes locked on Tommy. "I'd like to dedicate this song to my husband," he announces, his voice full of love. As the opening notes of "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" begin to play, Buck starts to sing, his voice soft and sincere. Tommy's face flushes with a mix of embarrassment and deep affection as Buck serenades him in front of their friends and colleagues.

Each time Buck says 'husband', he feels a surge of pride and love. It's more than just a word—it's a testament to their journey, their commitment, and the life they've chosen to share. And Buck knows, without a doubt, that 'husband' is his favorite word yet.

“Evan,” his father says. “Are you going to introduce us?”

“Uh, yes. Mom, Dad, this is Tommy- uh, Firefighter Tommy Kinard.” Buck couldn’t help but brag a little. “He’s a pilot with the air rescue team, and he’s, uh, he’s also my date for the wedding.”

His parents don’t look shocked anymore: they hardly could be, with Buck stuck to Tommy like glue all night while his friends loudly teased him about the forest fire lipstick smeared all over his face.

“It’s nice to meet you,” Tommy says, extending his hand to shake both of theirs.

Phillip shakes firmly, Margaret shakes like she’s never shaken a man’s hand before. She hasn’t taken her eyes off of Tommy.

“You too, you too. You know, Evan, it would’ve been nice to meet your, uh, date before the wedding,” Phillip says pointedly.

Buck doesn’t have a chance to respond before Tommy jumps in.

“Oh, that’s my fault,” Tommy says lightly, even though it in no way was. Buck had no intention at any point of doing this privately. “I was on standby last night and, as you can see,” he gestures to his turnouts, “I was called in. We just finally managed to contain a big fire out on Angeles Crest.”

It’s perfect. It’s unarguable. Buck’s heart squeezes at how easily Tommy deflects the blame away from Buck, how quickly he thought of it, how knee-jerk the reaction to protect Buck from his own parents was. Between Tommy’s words and Eddie’s hovering, Buck feels much safer than he thought he would.

“Well, I suppose between that and, and Howard going missing, there wasn’t much time to discuss, uh, dates,” Phillip concedes. “You know-“

“Evan, we aren’t upset with you,” Margaret interrupts. She’s finally looking at Buck again.

“Oh,” is all Buck can manage. He’s shocked, truly. He’d expected a full dressing-down for interrupting his sister’s wedding, for coming out without a formal declaration to his parents beforehand. Maybe for coming out at all, if he’s honest.
