Evan 'Buck' Buckley was hanging out with two of his best friends. Carlos Reyes and TK Strand. They were playing video games until Buck gets a text and sighs.
"You good there?" Carlos asks.
"Eddie won't leave me alone." he sighs and puts his phone down. "Ever since the accident and I got out of the hospital, he checks in on me every hour on the hour."
TK and Carlos look at each other then back at Buck.
"Well I mean you did die Buck. That's not easy for someone to watch." TK says.
"Yea I'm sure he's just worried about you." Carlos nods his agreement.
Buck goes and gets a beer from the fridge and leans up against the counter.
"I get he's worried and I understand I died...but he's being SOOOOO clingy."
"Or maybe..." TK gets up from the couch and Carlos follows him. TK walks up to Buck, "He likes youuuuuu!"
Carlos wraps his arms around TK 's waist while Buck stands there flustered.
"H-he doesn't like me like that....we're best friends you guys. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Mhmmmm sure" TK chuckles.
"Buck you realize we are basically qualified in knowing this kind of stuff." Carlos says, "And when you two are in the same room-"
TK cuts his boyfriend off , "It's like gay central. Our gay radars go off more than the fire alarm at the station!" TK chuckles at his own joke.
"Okay that's not what I was gonna say but he's right Buck. You and Eddie are almost worse then us when it comes to flirting," Carlos adds, "and that's saying something because we are an actual couple."
Buck is pacing around the room, "You guys are joking right? this is an awful prank you guys...it is a prank right?" He's visibly freaking out now.
"Calm down bro. I'm sure it's nothing" Carlos tells him.
"Babe quit lying to him there's obviously something there."
Carlos gives TK a warning glance to be quiet. "What it's true?" he shrugs.
"You two are no help at all." Buck sighs "He's my best friend for fuck's sake...If he ever died I'd be Chris's legal guardian. That's how close we are. Oh God I can't do this. We are just friends."
"Quit stressing Buck. TK's just in his own fantasy because he needs drama in his life." Carlos chuckles.
"Yea your work drama is boring. No offense." TK says to his boyfriend who is still behind him.
"You're so paying for that later babe..." Carlos whispers in TK's ear.
TK blushes and looks at Buck kinda eagerly. "Wanna call it a night Buck-a-roo? We have...plans." he smirks.
Buck makes a disgusted face as he realizes what stuff they have planned. "You guys gross me out sometimes...but yeah imma head home. Thsnks for food and having me over"
"Anytime." The couple says in unison
Buck leaves and heads home while TK and Carlos have some...fun.

EDDIES POV:We are on a call in the pouring rain. One of them have to get up on the ladder and of course Buck's the first to volunteer.
"Be careful up there kid this rain is awful." Our captian Bobby Nash tells Buck.
"Don't worry cap." Buck smirks, "Careful is my middle name!"
I scoff, "Says the one who's almost been killed hundreds of times." I say sarcastically.
"Shut up Diaz..." Buck playfully teases and rolls his eyes at hus best friend as he heads up the ladder.
Once Buck reaches the top he gets struck by lightning and immediately passes out and falls off the ladder. The only thing keeping him from falling to his death is his harness.
"BUCK" I yell getting up off the floor and running up the ladder to save you.
Once I get you on the ground I check for a pulse, I can't find one.
"Starting compressions!!" I yell, "C'mon Buck, c'mon." I say while crying and pushing on my best friends chest trying to realive him.
Finally I get a pulse and Chim takes him into the ambulance while I'm sitting on the floor in the rain crying.
"Eddie you coming?" Hen yells from inside the ambulance.
I bolt up and get in the ambulance, immediately grabbing his hand. "Please Buck...I-I can't lose you. Not without telling you."
I'm sitting next to Buck in the hospital bed after he got struck with lightning on the job. I can't think straight. I watched him die. I couldn't save him.
"God why wasn't it me?" I start crying and grab his hand "3 minutes and 17 seconds Buck. Im so sorry I couldn't save you Buck. Please don't leave me...I need you, Chris needs you."
The monitors start beeping. Your heart rate is dropping and your dying.
I jump out of the chair save run to get a nurse.
"Sir step out of the room the doctors need room to work okay?" the nurse tells me.
I watch as the doctors try to revive him. They call it. Your dead and all I did was stand back uselessly watching.
I drop to my knees, crying, screaming. I just lost the love of my life. My best friend. My everything.
"Sir are you okay?" the nurse looks down at me with worry in her eyes, but I can't focus on anything except Buck's lifeless body.
