"Hey... We need to go to work now" Eddie groaned as he heard his alarm go off for the second time.

"I'm ill... I can't go in'' Buck didn't exactly want to go to work, not after the morning they had.

"Tough, we need to go in - it's our first twenty-four hour shift, so no ifs or buts your going in whether you like it or not" Eddie spoke in more of a demanding look, not bothering to look around at his boyfriend who was either giving him a death glare or the puppy eyes.

"Look, get up now and i'll drive us to your favourite food place and you can get whatever you want okay? Please just get up before we are late" Eddie begged again pulling the sheets off of Buck who groaned as he attempted to pull them back up to himself.

"I swear to god I will drag you out of bed myself and get you into the car in just your boxers if this is how you're going to play Baby" Eddie was getting clearly pissed off and Buck was enjoying testing how much he could get away with.

"Thats it get the fuck up now or else you can spend the week alone at your apartment." Eddie was furious and Buck could tell, he would rather live then be killed by his own boyfriend.

"Fine I will get up, and get ready." Buck rolled his eyes as he walked into Eddie's closet hoping he had a spare 118 shirt, which luckily it did, it was a bit on the big side but he didn't care, he couldn't help but take one of Eddie's hoodies for safe keeping in case he got cold anywhere.

"I see you're stealing my clothes now" Eddie smirked as he passed Buck who was sipping on coffee, trying to wake himself up more for the long shift ahead of them, he quickly kissed Buck's head before grabbing himself a coffee, hoping he would wake up himself more.

"I didn't realise you had a matching ring Eddie"

"Hmm? Oh yeah, it's one of those silicone ones so it won't get blood stains or anything on it while we're at work." Eddie smiled as he showed Buck the rings.

"It feels as if we're getting married, you know" Buck sighed, yet he started to chuckle at the sight of him ever getting married.

"Give it a year or so and I'll propose to you - I love you too much to let you go" Eddie said, Buck looked up surprised at what Eddie had just said.

"You are fully serious about that, I mean it's a pretty big deal if you think about it? Would you really want to spend the rest of your life with me." Bucks attention went down to his thumbs scared for what Eddie might actually say in response.

"There's no one I would rather be with right now - I finally get to call you mine, and it's going to stay that way now" Eddie whispered to Buck.

After their talk in the kitchen they had finally made their way to the firehouse, making it on time with just one minute to spare.

"This is going to be a long day trying to hide the fact you practically attacked my neck last night" Buck mumbled over to Eddie who was quickly getting changed before throwing on his fire base layer which covered up his neck. "I'm just going to wear my fleece all day, that should hide the marks"

"It won't trust me - you'll have to take it off when you're dealing with a fire... Just wear your damn baselayer."

After bickering over what to wear they finally agreed on wearing a baselayer, and it wasn't even minutes in when they were called to their first call of the day, it was an easy one yet Buck threw himself into the work doing everything possible to help, Eddie for one was getting frustrated over Buck - not wanting to do anything stupid, or to injure himself even not wanting him to kill himself doing a job this easy.

"Buck! What the fuck was that, you promised me that you wouldn't nearly try to get yourself killed anymore!" Eddie snapped as he slammed the door to the truck, following Buck into the locker room.

"That's what you're supposed to do! It's a part of our Job Eddie, if you don't like it get a transfer so you don't have to worry about me all the time." Buck snapped back as he opened his locker, not making any sort of contact with Eddie.

"Whoa! I'm just looking out for my boyfriend who seemed to be crushed by a fire truck almost two years ago! Don't you think how that affected us Buck! Seeing you stuck, with that bastard kid, ready to blow himself up and you just to get back at Bobby for something he didn't do! Exactly what I thought Buck - you need to start thinking about how your actions are affecting your friends and your boyfriend!" Eddie huffed in annoyance, Buck on the other hand was still stuffing things into his locker. "Fucking listen to me for god sake." Eddie snapped, pulling on Buck's arm - pushing him up against the lockers - the sound must have got someone's attention in the Station - Buck and Eddie just didn't realise what was about to come.

Bucks lips brushed against Eddie as he sighed. "I'm sorry for snapping at you - I just don't want to see you get hurt again." Eddie sighed, pushing his lips against Buck's not taking note of where they actually were.

The kiss was cut short when there was a knock at the door revealing Bobby, Chim and Hen. Buck quickly pushed Edddie away making him land on the bench, "What the hell went on in here! Eddie, did you hurt Buck!" Bobby looks unimpressed as they all walk in. Eddie went to talk but got cut off by Bobby again, "I don't want to hear it okay - Hen, Chimney check Buck over for bruises if he has any I'm writing you up Diaz."

"I'm telling you now that everything was fine. I tripped into the locker" Buck stutterd not wanting them to see his neck.

"Lets just check you over yeah. Take your layer off" Hen spoke, pulling at his base layer - Eddie's eyes were in shock, knowing they would find out.

"Jesus Eddie what did you do to the poor boy, did he get you that pissed off that you beat the living crap out of him" Bobby spoke unapproved of what Eddie had supposedly done.

"Oh my god" Hen chuckled, then Chimney started to laugh. "Eddie take your top off " Hen laughed, Eddie slowly took his top off, Bobby looked around clearly confused at what was going on.

"Anyone care to explain what is going on here" Bobby raised his eyebrows waving his arm around trying to get their attention as he looked at both shirtless men.

"You see Bobby - Eddie did do those marks, but more in a sexual way. Whatever they did, they did a lot of it " Hen couldn't hold in her laughs anymore as she was curling over in dyer need of oxygen from laughing too hard. "So are you too a thing now or was it just a moment where you both needed to let off some steam?" Chimney asked as he started to laugh.

"Well it was kind of the heat of the moment first but then i confessed my feelings to Buck and here we are... together... " Eddie spoke, smiling over at Buck who was now also laughing.

"Surprise"

Buck gasped through the laughter.

"You've got a lot of serious explaining to do Mr, Buckley and Mr. Can't keep my dick in my pants."
