"That was beautiful," Buck compliments TK as soon as the reception starts.
"Thanks, Buck," TK says and a brunette walks over. "This is Iris Blake, she's Carlos's ex-wife. The one he married to help out. Iris, this is Evan Buckley, or just Buck. He's a firefighter back in Los Angeles."
"I've always wanted to live in California," Iris admits. "Hi, Buck. It's nice to meet you!" She gives him a hug and Marjan Marwani walks over.
"FireFox," Buck muses.
"FireHose." Marjan smirks. She finally followed him back. "Why do they call you that?"
Buck hums. "I'm afraid I can't answer that," he replies. "Not with him." He looks at the baby in his arms and back up. "You can ask my exes and my hookups back in LA. Eddie knows."
"Have you two..."
"No," Buck replies. "But we've changed out together. And I leant out my apartment to him and two others for quarantine when Covid hit hardcore in LA. We've seen each other naked thousands of times."
"Diaz!" Marjan walks away and Buck chuckles.
"She told me she finally followed you back," TK says. "I convinced her that you're not creepy. You're just... unfamiliar with some people. And curious."
Buck and TK watch as Eddie talking to Marjan. She glances back at Buck and back to Eddie, her eyebrows raised, impressed, as Eddie makes some hand gestures.
"Why do they call you FireHose?" TK asks.
Buck rolls his eyes. "I'm... hung," he says. "Proudly." He smirks as he looks at Eddie, who is already staring at him. "Okay, enough of this talk. I'm dehydrating." He walks away.
TK chuckles and he goes to find his new husband to kiss on him.
*******
Eddie is panting, lying in bed beside Buck in his old room at home in El Paso. Adrianna, Sophia, and his parents too, the kids to go see Isabel Diaz, Eddie's grandmother. He's naked and he got to see what Buck's one-night-stands back in Los Angeles were all crazy about.
"I see it now," Eddie says. "You're amazing in bed."
"And you are, too," Buck says. "You like verse, huh? Switching?"
"I love it," Eddie replies as he allows Buck to curl up to him. "Te quiero, mi amor."
"Te quiero," Buck replies. "Te quiero, Eddie."
They kiss and cuddle. They don't get up and get dressed until Ramon, Helena, Adrianna, Sophia, Christopher, and Quinton get back - with Isabel.

Chosen Family (Buddie)
FanfictionI know there's a season 7 of 9-1-1 on ABC, but this is mainly just revolving around Buddie, Chris, and the baby we briefly met on the season 6 finale. But this is my version of season7 because I can't wait until March to write a whole fan fiction...
