I just wanna live in this moment forever
‘Cause I’m afraid that living couldn’t get any better.
Started giving up on the word “forever”
Until you gave up heaven, so we could be together
Angel Baby By: Troye Sivan
I feel myself slowly sway to the music as I look at my husband in the eyes. “Wow.” I think while I look him in the eye, I finally can call him my husband. It took forever to come to this point, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. We have been put through everything it seems, but we still got here, today with all of the people who love us around us. I am so happy to be able to share this moment with all of them, but especially with the man in front of me.
I feel so giddy about all of this that I get startled when he responds, “Wow, what? Ow!” I look confused and then I realize that as I was startled I stepped on his foot and being the person I love he teases, “Okay, Babe I knew you were not skilled in the art of dance, but have you gotten worse?” I shake my head slightly feeling my lips purse as I pretend to sulk at his teasing, but as always Carlos can see through everything and just raises one eyebrow, in that non verbal ‘Really?!’
I just smile back and say finally, “Okay I was so in my thoughts, I am sorry for stepping on your foot. Do you need me to kiss it better?”
In response he just grins saying, “I think I would, but not my foot but maybe right here,” as he points at his forehead. I smile and give him a little peck on the forehead and then he smiles back and says, “Nope I am still hurt.”
I kiss him on his eyelids as he shuts his eyes, which of course is wrong and then try his nose which did get me
I grin and laugh out as I peck his cheek, “Is this better?”
He just shrugs and replies, “Close.”
I smile and then peck his chin
“Closer”
I peck him on the jaw.
“Super Close.”
I kiss him on his eyelids as he shuts his eyes, which of course is wrong and then try his nose which did get me an adorable sight of him scrunching up his nose, but he still shakes his head.
I pretend to be confused and say, “I am not sure where you want to be kissed, you might have to show me.”
He wastes no time and puts his hands on both of my cheeks and leans in and kisses me on the lips, which makes me gasp slightly because Damn, he is such a good kisser. I smile as I listen to the song once again in the background of our first dance and realize it is pretty perfect for us.

wip wednesday
and she's back with a bang! sorry y'all, finals and chronic illness are kicking my ass, but i am offering up everything i have managed to write in apology <3
thanks to @welcometololaland, @honeybee-taskforce, @sznofthesticks, @paperstorm, @alrightbuckaroo, @carlos-in-glasses, and @theghostofashton for tagging me!
now that i have you - tarlos
His eyes close involuntarily, and he’s thrown back to that night three years ago. 
The press of Carlos’s mouth against his inner thigh makes TK moan, arm thrown over his eyes. “Jesus, Carlos, are you trying to kill me?”
Carlos kisses a path up TK’s chest, pressing a kiss to his neck, “Just the opposite, actually. I’ve never felt more alive, TK, maybe it’s time you get with the program.”
TK melts into the mattress, letting the arousal and heat crawling up his spine take over. 
They’ll discuss this in the morning. 
TK woke up to a cold mattress, an empty apartment, and a broken heart. 
Carlos never brought up that night, and TK never pushed. 
It was easier to have this part of Carlos, rather than none of him. That’s what he told himself every time he saw Carlos with another man.
[redacted] - firstprince
And Alex – his beautiful, bright, sunshine Alex – wraps his hand around the mic, pulling it out of the stand and walking to the end of the stage, leaning into the crowd at the front of the pit. “Good evening, Los Angeles! Are we having fun tonight?” 
The crowd screams uproariously, and Alex laughs, throwing his head back. Henry’s lost to the magic of it all, watching magnetically as he tracks every movement Alex makes. Alex folds down onto the edge of the stage gracefully, swinging his legs back and forth, “Okay, so as most of you know, it’s usually this part of the set that I usually sing a song or two from [EP name] but I’m doing something a little different tonight!” 
Right on cue, Liam hits the opening notes of a song on his guitar, and Spencer follows on his drums. It takes Henry, as well as everyone else, a moment, but quickly, the crowd starts screaming again. 
My friends call me a loser
'Cause I'm still hanging around
Henry knows that no one, save for Bea, June, Nora and Pez know about the two of them, but Henry feels like he might as well skywrite the fact that they’re hooking up across LA. 
You said, "Baby, no attachment"
But we're
Knee deep in the passenger seat and you're eating me out
Is it casual now?
And Henry’s thrown back to that time where the two of them, quite recklessly, blew each other in the backseat of his town car as Henry took Alex back to the airstrip to send him off to his next tour stop. He thought it was just sex to Alex, didn’t – couldn’t – dare hope it was anything more. 
But, Henry thinks faintly as he watches June and Nora swap looks across him, they’re well past casual now. Alex is basically screaming it at him.
i'm not sure who's done this yet, so i'm going to tag @bonheur-cafe, @heartstringsduet, @liminalmemories21, @fallout-mars, and @lightningboltreader!

New fic now live on Ao3
TK Strand’s Sweet 16 (times 2) (minus 2)
G | 7k | Tarlos, canon compliant
Six months after a loss that shook the Reyes family to its core, the entire extended family gathers to throw the blowout party of all time for its newest and sweetest member, TK Strand.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to @freneticfloetry for giving this one a beta and sensitivity read, and to @carlos-in-glasses for reading a very early draft and reassuring me that the vibes were vibin’ and the jokes were not just funny to me 🩷✨ I am honestly honored and humbled to have such lovely friends in this fandom who believe in my writing and offer up their time and encouragement. Seriously, it means the world.
Official Party Playlist
Official Party Invitation
This is how he’ll remember TK Strand. Forever. Years from now, when he’s in his 80s, sitting on a porch swing reminiscing on his prime. He’ll think about his gorgeous husband. In this moment. On this night.
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to, baby
On the night of his thirtieth birthday. The silver chain snaking out of his white button down, unbuttoned dangerously low for all the family they’re surrounded by. Shining with sweat, smile as big and bright as the moon.
Gyrating in-time with the beat of the Wham! song thrumming through the backyard speakers. Singing along with the words, a finger pointed at Carlos where he stands in shock-induced stupor.
But I know that you're sad
And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
It’s their song. Well, not their song their song. It’s become something of a special song over the last few months though. One that TK plays when he’s subtly trying to cheer Carlos up. Dancing around the loft in his skimpy blue shorts, Carlos’s own personal George Michael. He’s not as subtle as he thinks he is, but it melts Carlos’s heart every time. Heals it a bit too.
Baby, I'm your man (do do do that, don't you do that)
Don't you know who I am?
Baby, I'm your man
“That’s your husband, mijo,” Andrea says from Carlos’s side, a fond smile on her face as she shakes her head.
Six months after the wedding it still sets his heart fluttering, hearing TK referred to as his husband. He glances around the yard, primos mixing with friends and coworkers, Owen directing his sisters into a Charlie’s Angels pose so he can snap a photo with his Polaroid camera, TK and his friends in the center of it all, dancing like idiots. He feels an uncontrollable laugh bubbling out of his chest as he puts an arm around his mom.
“That’s my husband.”

Tag someone you want to get to know better.
sorry I'm two weeks late 🙃 but tysm for the tags @myheartalivewrites @suseagull04 @heybuddy-drabbles @14carrotghoul @pragmatic-optimist ❤️
as usual, sorry for the rambling LOL
favorite colour: pink & yellow !
last song: Angel Baby - Troye Sivan (I'm on a Troye kick lately to get in the mood for his new album release)
last movie: I thought it was RWRB but I just remembered I watched Barbie in the cinemas after that
currently watching: nothing - I don't really watch a lot of stuff but there's some movies on my to watch list I haven't gotten to yet
other stuff I watched this year: Jury Duty, FBoy Island (Look, my husband and I only watched this one because we know one of the contestants irl 😂), Heartstopper, 911 Lone Star (but only the tarlos scenes + anything else I needed for context 😅), Your Place or Mine (I didn't enjoy this one - sorry but Reese and Ashton had 0 chemistry 😬), The Bachelor Australia (It's my guilty pleasure show 💀 although I hated what they did with it this year 😭)
shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: Never Have I Ever (I only ever watched the first season, then couldn't handle the rest so just watched the end to get closure lmao), Sex lives of College Girls (I loved the first season, and I do intend to watch season 2 eventually but haven't been in the mood for it lately)
currently reading: fanfic as usual
currently listening to: Got Me Started - Troye Sivan (I didn't love the first single, Rush, but it kinda grew on me. I'm liking Got Me Started a lot more though! It feels very different to his older stuff but I'm excited for the new album regardless)
currently working on: been jumping between my Henry drawing and my fake dating fic but then yesterday a Vampire Henry fic idea took a hold of my brain and I spent all day today working on that 😩 never had the urge to write a vampire fic before so I'm surprised at myself - I'm having fun though yay
current obsession(s): RWRB of course, Tarlos and Lamps (I've been obsessively looking for lamps for my living room recently 😂 I have 2 so far but need 1 more!! Haven't found the perfect one yet though)
not gna tag anyone cause I'm so late, everyone's probably already done this 😬😂

This question might be a little agnsty. But in the little-verse what would have Tk's relationship with Alex, his shitty ex boyfriend have been like? What is Alex? A neutral, a caregiver, a little?
Ask me for headcanons on characters from my fandom list!
In my little-verses, I don’t typically have my littles dating. It’s why while I ship Tarlos to the moon and back, my precious baby angels, they won’t get together in “The Little Monkey”. Carlos is a flip, but I don’t intend to include him much because I know that’ll lead to requests of people wanting more and I don’t want the focus to be that.
TK did date Alex in New York because he was living on his own and thought he was ready. His reaction to the breakup is what proved he’s not able to date due to both his Little space and coping skills regarding his addiction.
Alex was a neutral. He wasn’t the worst boyfriend, but also not the greatest either. He wasn’t emotionally available. His heart wasn’t in it the same way TK’s was but he let it drag on awhile because he had fun with him.
Alex was supportive of TK being a Little but made it clear early on that he’d never act as a caregiver or anything. Which TK was fine with, as he preferred his parents as his caregivers.

I think the best time to engage with any fandom is after the show has ended lmaooo. I’m in the Tarlos fandom and it is goddamn toxic. Straight up crazy out there!!! They’ve been harassing the actors, sending gifts (even though the actors have requested not to) asked extremely messed up personal questions to the canon gay pairing (who are also from the lgbtqia+ in real life which is so rare for tv)
I think Malec fandom is pretty chill now (since it’s been 3 years since the show ended and the WEED HAS BEEN REMOVED/LEFT) only love for malec these days.
(except a couple of weirdos who sometimes pop up on my feed with their anti malec agenda and the whole age difference thing) LIKE BRO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES AND ANGEL BLOOD HERE??? and AGE DIFFERENCE IS WHAT BOTHERS u LMAO)
I haven't been in many fandoms to (or been super active in the show fandom) to have gone through that. #blessed.
But you are right. I've been seeing some malec hate (books but still) in my ask box recently and I am like 'lmao wrong house baby'.
Malec is amazing. You keep loving them, bebe!

Cuervo Confessions
“What’s so pretty about TK, Carlos?” she asks, her blue eyes twinkling when Carlos lights up at the question.
*
Drunk Carlos is adorably in love with his boyfriend and has no filter.
30 days of Tarlos - Day 14
prompt from @lauraperfectinsanity here
“You’re so pretty, TK.”
TK Strand looks down at the man speaking; what he finds is his adorable boyfriend staring up at him from where he’s resting his head on his shoulder. His soft brown eyes are hazy from the drinks he’s had throughout the night.
“Thank you, baby,” he says kindly, trying not to laugh at his boyfriend. Across the table, he sees that their friends seem to have no need for such restraint as they openly look over at Carlos with amusement.
He and Carlos have been dating for well over a year now; in that time, the crew has embraced Carlos as one of their own. He’s not just his boyfriend or Michelle’s best friend, he’s an important member of their little family, and as such, just as much a target as anyone else. Usually, it isn’t easy to make fun of Carlos; he’s one of the most collected, even-tempered, and sensible people on the planet. If he’s honest, he’s the high maintenance one in their relationship.
That all goes out the window though if you pour a couple of shots of tequila down his throat just like Michelle had done earlier when they first got to the bar to help Carlos unwind.
Carlos and the rest of his precinct had been working the last couple of weeks on some big drug ring. It had been long, stressful hours, but it was finally done.
The last 24-hours, he and Carlos had spent it in bed getting reacquainted before agreeing to come out for a drink and a little line dancing at their favorite honkytonk. Now with Carlos getting tipsier and tipsier, TK was starting to regret that decision.
It isn’t the drinking itself for him; his sobriety is stable. He has no interest in drinking or using. His life is too amazing at the moment for him to even consider ruining it by falling off the wagon. His father gets healthier with each passing day, he has a fantastic team he would never put at risk for a drink or a pill, and he’s in love with the most wonderful man ever created. He doesn’t care that the others drink around him, especially not Carlos, who rarely did in support of him.
No, he’s starting to regret the decision to come out because Carlos is a ridiculously adorable and clingy drunk with zero filter when he gets like this, and all their friends are looking at him like they’re sharks who just sensed chum in the water.
Michelle is the first one; she might have the face of an angel, but she has an evil streak a mile wide, and as Carlos’ best friend, she seems to enjoy it the most when she can mess with him.
“What’s so pretty about TK, Carlos?” she asks, her blue eyes twinkling when Carlos lights up at the question.
“Everything Michelle, where do I even start!” he shouts happily, lifting his head from his shoulder. He sits up straight only to tilt slightly to the left.
Judd grabs hold of his arm, giving him a nudge before he tips any further.
“Thank you,” Carlos smiles at the big man, polite even when drunk. “What was I saying?”
“You were going to give us a detail list of what makes TK Strand pretty,” Marjan offers, smirking his way when he shoots her a glare. Sometimes he regrets becoming her friend.
“Right!” Carlos exclaims, bobbing his head up and down more than necessary. It makes more than one of them at the table snicker.
“Okay, so first, his eyes, duh,” Carlos says, rolling his. “Everyone can see they’re the prettiest shade of green in the world, no contest, every other green go home, his eyes win forever.”
TK can’t help but smile at Carlos’ passionate defense of his eyes; it’s silly but too cute for words.
“Anything else?” Marjan asks again, grinning when he shakes his head at her. “What about his face?”
“It’s like an angel’s,” Carlos sighs dreamily, and TK mouths ‘I hate you’ at his friend even as Carlos’ words make his heart skip a beat.
“What about his body, Carlos?” Michelle pipes in with a wide grin when Carlos lights up even further. “You told me once he was a ten,” she continues, looking over at him, waggling her eyebrows as he blushes.
“TK is not a ten,” he answers, frowning so hard at her he almost goes cross-eyed. “He’s a million.”
“Oh brother,” Judd murmurs dryly as the rest snicker, rolling his eyes so hard TK worries they might pop out. Still, he sees the hint of a grin on his face. “You’ve got it bad, Reyes.”
“Nope,” Carlos answers, making the P pop as he smiles happily. “I have it so good,” he tells his friend before turning his gaze back to him.
“I love you so much,” Carlos says to him lovingly. “I love you more than anything in the world.”
TK can feel all their friends’ eyes on them, it makes him go hot in the face, but he ignores it, and them. Instead, he looks back at his drunk but loveable boyfriend, his whole being warm from his head to the tips of his toes at the devotion he finds in Carlos’ gaze.
He thought he knew what love was before Carlos, that he knew what it felt like to be in love with another person. He doesn’t deny he loved Alex; he wanted to marry him; of course he’d loved him, and yet it pales in comparison to what he feels now.
Everything he feels for Carlos is bigger, stronger, and at the same time, steadier. He doesn’t doubt this love for one second; he never wonders if he’s enough or if it’s going to end. It’s never a thought in his mind, Carlos is who he’s going to be with for the rest of his life.
“I love you too, baby,” he tells him, ignoring their friends around them, he tugs Carlos to him.
Carlos goes easily, smiling brightly as he presses his forehead against his.
“I’m going to love you forever,” he tells him, sounding now a little sleepy. This close, TK can see his eyes starting to droop.
“I’m going to love you forever too,” he answers, chuckling gently when it gets Carlos excited.
“Forever and ever?” he asks, almost childlike, it makes something inside TK ache with the love he feels for this big beautiful dorky man he’s lucky enough to love him back.
“And ever,” he promises, standing up he takes hold of Carlos’ shoulder. “How about we go home now, baby, I think our bed is calling our names.”
Carlos nods, agreeing readily. “I want cuddles,” he answers with a serious look on his face.
TK presses his lips together to keep from laughing at the demand. “Of course, sweetheart,” he tells him as he helps him into his jacket. When he’s done, he turns back to the group who is still looking amused as Carlos burrows into his side.
“None of you will be teasing him about this the next time you see him,” he warns them, making sure he locks eyes with everyone at the table. “I have dirt on all of you, so you will be nice, or I’ll make you sorry.”
It’s his job to protect his baby, and he has no problem using blackmail to do it.
He watches as more than one of them pouts, but no one argues. With one final nod, he turns with Carlos, who is still clinging to his arm, and heads out the bar. After all, they have a bed and more cuddles calling their name.

Summary: It's been years since Eddie, Buck, and Christopher moved to Austin. Leaving Los Angeles and the 118 was hard, but it was the right decision for their family. They are happy at the 126. Tonight, the Diaz are hosting the 126 monthly dinner. It's a family tradition now. It brings back some memories and flashbacks.
Or the one where Buddie and Tarlos are friends and have lots of kids.
This is also part of my collaboration with the amazing @harvestleaves​

The 126 fire station
The shift is coming to an end and no one is complaining about it. It’s been a long day. They haven’t lost anyone but they barely had any time to catch their breath in between calls and one look at his team is enough for Owen to know they are all taking a nap as soon as the truck parks at the station. He is right, as usual. His son is the only one who’s not heading to the bunk room. He had a big smile on his face all day long.
“What makes you so happy son?” Owen finally asks, wanting to know the reason his exhausted son is looking at his phone, smiling, instead of catching up some well-deserved rest.
“Carlos keeps sending me those pictures” TK replies with a huge grin on his face. “It’s his day off, and his mom insisted on taking the kids shopping.” 
“Rookie mistake” Owen says. He tried once and his ‘quick shopping trip’ lasted for hours.
“They’ve been in the same store for three hours and Isabella has pretty much tried every piece of clothing she could find” the Strand boy adds while showing his dad all the photos Carlos had sent. The first three are very cute and show Bella wearing the beautiful clothes her grandmother picked out for her. Carlos’ mom is behind her with a bright and hopeful smile on her face. TK keeps scrolling to show his dad the rest of the outfits, dozens and dozens of pictures. From the reflection in the mirror, both men can see Mrs. Reyes’ hopes to leave the store slowly disappearing from her face. The last one is the one that melts TK’s heart the most. It’s a picture of his favorite little monster wearing a yellow hoodie and Carlos added the caption ‘She said she wanted to look like her daddy’.
“If they keep going like that, they will still be at the store tonight.”
“Not a chance” TK assures. “Her big brother won’t miss a dinner at the Diaz's for anything in the world.” 
“My little man is not the only one excited about tonight. I can’t wait to see the Buckaroos” says Owen, he looks around them, the firehouse is quiet. His team is sleeping, Michelle is on a call. Something is obviously missing. 
“Yeah, it’s weird here without big Buck” TK admits. Buck and him quickly became friends and not seeing him at work every day is weird, but he knows the blonde will be back at work in no time. He knows the whole team looks forward to seeing the youngest Diaz at the station again. Eddie of all people wants him by side, but he will not admit it in front of the others. His husband has a good reason to stay away from his job a little longer.
“We still have one hour left before the end of shift” the captain says. “You should try to rest a bit. I’m sure Buttercup is already warming up your bed.”
One hour of sleep won’t be enough to get properly rested from the long day they had, so TK decides to help his father filling the reports from all the calls they had. He sits on the couch on the corner of the captain’s office and Buttercup comes to sit next to him. They are halfway done with the paperwork when the shift is officially over. The members of the crew come quickly to let their captain know they are heading home. 
“Go, son, I’ll finish this alone,” Owen says. “I’ll see y’all tonight, guys”.
“See you” Eddie replies as he’s practically running, eager to come home to his family.
“Are you sure dad?” TK never liked paperwork, but he knows they can get it done faster together.
“Sure. I’m sure Bella is going to want to wear one of her new outfits tonight and she might need some help choosing from everything her grandmother bought her”, the kid’s grandfather says. He knows it’s probably true because no one ever spends more money than him spoiling his three grandkids.
“Okay then, see you soon.”
The Strand-Reyes’ house
TK drives back to his place. He doesn’t have a lot of time before they have to leave for the Diaz’s but he will make the most of the time he has with his family. He walks into the living room and kisses his husband before telling him and Matias about his day. The oldest is still too young to understand everything about his dads jobs but he knows they are both heroes who save people. Owen would love to see him being a third-generation firefighter but he will never influence his grandkids. Luis is playing on Carlos’ lap, stretching his arms towards TK for him to hug him. Owen was wrong about something, Isabella only got two new pieces of clothes. A dress, bought by Carlos’ mother, and the hoodie Carlos bought her. TK knows that she decided to wear this one because she’s holding his in her tiny hands.
“Oh, you want me to wear mine too, huh?” he asks his 3-year-old daughter. TK grabs his hoodie and carefully puts Luis on the couch next to his dad. “I’m gonna take a quick shower and we’ll be ready to go.” 
Carlos does not reply. He watched over his baby boy while helping Matias finish the drawing he made as a gift for tonight’s hosts. Owen once told his grandkids to never show to someone’s house empty-handed, and even though the Captain was thinking about the nice bottle of wine he always brings when he’s invited somewhere, he’s glad to see that the boy learned that gesture from him. Matias makes sure to draw something lovely every time, and now the whole team has an original Matias Strand-Reyes drawing on their fridge.
The Diaz’s house
Buck just hang up the phone with Carla. They still facetime from time to time. It’s not the same as having her around, but the Diaz family will always have a soft spot for her. She helped them in so many ways, they won’t ever know how to repay her for everything.
Eddie and the rest of the 126 will be here soon. So Buck sets his phone on the kitchen counter, enjoying the view of his entire family on the screen before opening the recipe he was given last week. He still thinks about Carla and a conversation they had a few years ago.
Buck had come home after a quiet shift. His apartment barely felt like home. He used to love it so much but ended up finding it empty and cold. He was so happy during his shift, smiling while working under the burning LA sun. Somehow, his joy disappeared when he crossed the threshold. He was missing something. He didn’t want to stay at his place, so he texted Maddie but she had plans with Chimney. He texted Carla and she just replied with ‘just get your ass here Buckaroo’. Her husband was working late and she cooked extra food so she didn’t mind having Buck for dinner at her place.
As soon as he arrived, she asked him why he wasn’t with Eddie. The second Eddie’s name left her mouth, she couldn’t place another word. Buck started by explaining the firefighter was having a family dinner with his parents and his Abuela. It was one of those rare times his parents were in town and Buck didn’t want to bother them by coming along, even though Eddie invited him. After explaining that, he never stopped talking. He told Carla about the amazing idea Eddie had at work to save a girl, and then he kept on talking about his best friend. Carla could barely speak. She didn’t mind, she loved that boy. He had a kind heart and she knew it the second he knocked on Abby’s door to help her find her mom. It was getting late and they both knew it because Buck commented on the fact that Eddie and Chris’ dinner was probably done since Eddie had sent him a picture of Chris falling asleep in front of the movie. Helena and Ramon didn’t seem to be there and Buck assumed they went back to sleep at their hotel. Carla looked at him with a huge smile.
 “What?” Buck genuinely asked her, not realizing what she was smiling about.
 “You’ve been talking about Eddie for two hours Buckaroo.”
 “No. I’m-I’m not” he babbled. “I’m just making conversation.”
 “It’s okay. I know you love him.”
 “Of course I love him. I love all my team” he said, trying to control his voice that started to crack.
“That’s not what I mean. You are in love with him, Buck.”
 “I-I’m not. We are best friends. He’s my best friend.” he repeated, more to convince himself to convince her. 
He hugged her goodbye, and spent the next hours in his empty apartment, looking around. He saw Eddie’s key on his key ring, the dishes from the dinner they had together the night before were still in the sink, and the shopping list on his fridge had Eddie’s handwriting on it because he knew Buck always forgot important stuff while shopping, so his best friend adds them on the list to be sure he gets everything he needs. Eddie and his son’s presence is everywhere, from Chris’ drawing next to the shopping list on the fridge, to his bedside table where the framed pictures from the first time they went to see Santa together next to the one of him and Maddie. But none of them were in the room, and that was the reason why his place felt the cold. For the first time in a while, he did not spend his free time with the Diaz boys. 
Carla was right. He needed Eddie like he needed air. He loved Eddie. This realization scared him. He could not love him. His friend would freak out and leave him if he knew Buck loved him. But Buck was the one freaking out and he couldn’t stop himself from picturing every possible scenario in his head. He was about to grab his jacket to go out when he realized he didn’t even take it off after coming back from Carla’s. He took his key and jumped in his jeep.
Buck can barely hear Eddie coming behind him. The blonde is slightly bending on the kitchen counter, cutting vegetables. It’s one of the rare moments where he looks smaller than Eddie. Taking advantage of Buck’s position, the older man rests his head in between Buck’s neck and his shoulder, lacing both his hands around his husband’s waist and watches him preparing their dinner. Eddie’s muscles are tense from work, and the nap in the bunk room didn’t do any good to his body, but feeling the man he loves in his arms is exactly what he needs to feel better. Buck smells like home; the scent of the dinner he’s cooking, the perfume of the kids shampoo from when he gave a bath to Andrea before and the gentle musk of the aftershave they both use. 
It’s their time to host the 126 monthly dinner and Buck wants it to be perfect because he knows these nights are as important for their kids as it is for them. Andrea is always enjoying being around the rest of the kids, and she loves when they are hosting it because she gets to play house and entertain her crowd. Both men know she will be in the kitchen with them in no time, she always is. Eddie notices his husband looks distracted.
“What’s going on in that pretty head of yours?” he said, while both his hands are still around him. His fingers are slowly touching Buck to bring him back from the thoughts he seems to be lost in.
His head is still playing back the memories of the day that changed his life forever. 
In front of the Diaz’s door, Buck froze. He turned his back to the door and started walking back to his car. It was late, it was stupid. He should go home. But he moved towards the door again. It was dark and cold outside, and Buck was pacing, not knowing what to do. His heart wanted to go towards Eddie while his head told him to go back home and forget everything Carla told him. But his feet didn’t know who to listen to. He knocked gently on the door before he had time to think about what his mouth was supposed to say.
Eddie looked at him, and smiled before letting him in. He was not really surprised to see Buck at his door. There was always beer in the fridge and his favorite snacks somewhere in case his friend showed up. 
“I don’t want to lose you,” Buck whispered. Eddie was close enough to hear it, but he didn’t understand it. Where was this coming from? None of them were injured during their shift, Eddie had no intention of moving out, things were fine and Buck was not making any sense.
“You won’t lose me Buck. I’m fine, and I’m not going anywhere”.
“But I might lose you,” Buck said, a little louder but he looked more scarred that Eddie had ever seen him. “You might never want to see me again.”
“That won’t happen. Not to us.” Eddie promised him, he meant it. He was never gonna let anything come in between them. “Talk to me, man.”
“I can’t. I can’t do this” Buck was turning his back on him, putting his hand on the door handle to run home and forget this. Eddie placed his hand on Buck’s to stop him from opening the door.
“I can’t risk losing what we have” the blonde said, his back still turned away from his friend.
“Okay, now you are scaring me” Eddie confessed, while he gently forced Buck to turn his face to him. He was not letting him go. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”
“It’s not my head that’s the problem.”
“What’s your problem?” as soon as the words left his mouth, they echoed with their argument during his first day, but his tone is gentle. Just like this day, Eddie’s eyes won’t leave Buck.
“You’re my problem” Buck replied, and Eddie’s mind is definitely went back to the gym where they had that heated talk. This time Buck’s voice is not angry. He’s almost whispering and his gaze left Eddie’s eyes to look at the hand, nicely rested on his shoulder, his thumb gently pressed on Buck’s neck, slowly coming up to be on his face, and that’s exactly the problem. His heart is racing against his chest and he feels like if the other man comes any closer his heart will beat so hard he will jump out of his chest and crumble on the floor.
“Did I do something wrong?”
“There is nothing wrong with you, Eddie. You’re perfect, you’re too perfect. I l-” he tried to stop himself but it was too late. The words were half unspoken and he had to finish what he started. Carla’s voice was playing on repeat in his head and Eddie was still looking at him. He didn’t know for how long he was silent. The sound of his heart sounded even louder suddenly as Eddie’s left hand mirrored his right one on the other side of Buck’s cheeks. Using his gentle hold on his face to force Buck to look at him, Eddie broke the unbearable silence.
“There’s nothing you can say that could make me love you less” Eddie said. Buck’s lips were finally moving to say something before he fully registered what the other just said.
“Wh-What?” Buck rambled.
“You heard me Buck” Eddie said softly. But if it meant the face in between his hands can finally stop shaking, he was willing to say it as many times as he needed to. “I’m in love with you, you fool. And I’m seriously hoping that that’s what you were trying to say or I will be the fool”.
Buck nodded, still shaking. He didn’t know what else to do, but Eddie was cupping his head his tender hands, and the shaking stopped when Eddie’s lips met his.
They definitely had to thank Carla for that and she was pretty proud to include this in her toast at their wedding reception years later. 
Smiling, Buck fully comes back to reality. Eddie’s body against his is anchoring him to the present. Sometimes it’s still feels like a dream, all of it seems too good to be true. But it is real, as real as Eddie’s breath against the back of his neck.
“I just- I just love you Eddie.” the man declares like it’s the first time. Eddie does not need to hear him say it to know how much his husband loves him. But he will never get tired of hearing those three words.
“And I love you too” he replies while placing a kiss down Buck’s neck. No matter how many times he says these words, he will always feel like the man in front of him is constantly surprised to hear that he is loved. He could repeat them for the rest of their lives if it means to be greeted by the most genuine smile in return. “But this house is soon going to be full of hungry kids” he reminded him before they both lost themselves in the moment “and we don’t want to hear TK bragging about Carlos’ cooking skills.”
 “You wanna turn this diner into a cooking competition, Diaz?” Buck teases.
 “You know you’ve been a Diaz too for the past five years, right?” Eddie asks and there’s suddenly a wide grin on Buck’s face.
“I know, I just love the sound of that.” Buck sighs when he feels Eddie’s hands leaving his body, but his pout turns into another big smile when he feels his fingers taking the knife out of his hand to help him with the cooking. 
Eddie cuts the vegetables left on the kitchen counter when Buck happily starts the rest of the recipe. Andrea appears in between them but has no interest in helping with the dinner. She’s only interested when her dad is making desserts, so she can give a hand and fill her stomach at the same time. By the time Eddie arrived, the cake is already on the oven, so Andrea just hangs with her dads while they do the rest of the boring work. She’s five but she’s already teasing her older dad on his lack of cooking skill.
“Dada” she said while clinging to Buck’s leg, “Don’t let daddy cook. I’m hungry.”
Buck can’t hold his laugh in, and Eddie would be lying if he said he didn’t find it cute. He took her by the hand and guided her towards the cupboard.
“What if you helped me set the table while Dada makes us something we can actually enjoy?” Eddie asked her with a big smile. 
Andrea is not complaining, setting the table is something she really enjoys, it’s something usually the grownups do in their house and she feels like a big girl when she is doing it. Eddie gives her the plastic plates for the kids’ table, and she happily walks towards the table where she’s about to have a great time with her friends. She puts the green plate next to hers because she knows it’s Matias’ favorite color. Bella is going to be in front of her, next to Tucker Ryder. And for the rest of the kids, the smaller ones, they will be on their parents’ lap, at the grownup table. Aside from Bella, the other kids never complained about sitting at another table, they all love to have their secret conversations without their parents being here. 
“Can I help?” Chris asks. His voice is joyful. He loves those dinners too. Especially since, unlike his sister, he gets to be at the adult table. The 14-years-old has known the 126 for a long time, they are his family.
Before Eddie can think of something he could ask his son to do, the door rang.
“Well, you can welcome our guests, buddy,” he says before jogging to the kitchen to see if the dinner is ready.
“Buck, don’t let dad near the food” Chris jokes before opening the door.
In a few minutes the first guests will arrive and the pressure from the day will vanish, and be replaced with love, laughter and happiness. No matter how tired everyone is after a shift like this one, knowing they are together in this will always make things better.

❝ I found you and the baby sleeping in the recliner at six am and it was so precious. ❞ + tarlos
used this line more as inspiration rather than, like, anything else
Carlos stares at their flickering porch light and frowns, not quite ready to deal with whatever he's about to walk into and wishing he had snagged Lawrence's shift but McCoy had beat him to it.
The past month had been rough for them, because Eli had come down with a cold a couple days after Halloween and he just can't seem to shake it which worries him. He tries to remind himself that it's cold season and it just might take him a bit to get over it, but that everything will be okay in the end because they have his physician and Michelle at their disposal.
Still, things aren't easy but they're worse for TK.
He's not getting enough sleep, because every noise - even if it's the house settling - wakes him up and makes it difficult to go back to sleep. He has stopped going to AA meetings, because he's afraid that something will happen while he's gone and this worries Carlos the most given what happened last time TK stopped going. He's taken a leave of absence at work so that Eli doesn't have to be left with the babysitter, because even though she used to babysit for Carlos' sister, TK still doesn't trust her to take care of Eli properly.
It's exhausting.
Some days, like today, he wishes he could stay at work longer just so he didn't have to see TK, which is awful, but it hurts him to see how exhausted he looks and knowing he can't do anything to help him because TK won't let him. It's like the only person he trusts to take care of Eli properly is himself, and he tries not to let it get to him too much since he knows he's only acting this way because Eli's sick but it hurts.
He knows which floorboards are creaky and where not to step, because he has spent the last month memorizing where to step so he can minimize the risk of waking TK (assuming he is sleeping), and so when the porch creaks under his feet he curses under his breath. He knows the likelihood of TK waking up because of the creaking is very low, but since everything happened he sometimes wakes up even when there's no noise at all, so he can't help it if his anxiety spikes a bit.
When he slips into the house, all of his anxieties seem to melt away for the moment because TK is leaned back in the recliner, snoring softly, with Eli resting on his chest. In the past month, he hasn't seen either of them look so relaxed and it sounds cliché but they look angelic and Carlos' heart aches, only this time it's not because he's hurting.
He pulls the throw blanket off the back of the couch and carefully covers them up, tucking the blanket in and pressing a light kiss to TK's forehead, an action he regrets almost immediately because TK's eyes open. "Shh," he whispers, combing his fingers through his hair, "go back to sleep."
And by some miracle, he does.
