Buddie: Partners in Fire

Chapter 142

TW : flirtation (but no explicit sexual content)

Scene: Buck and Eddie's Room

The bedroom door clicked softly as it closed behind them, and for a moment, everything seemed to still. Buck and Eddie stood in the quiet of their room, the weight of the day beginning to settle into the stillness. The house was silent, save for their soft breaths and the faint hum of the night outside. In the dim light, the reality of the day—the wedding, the adoption, the promises they had made—washed over them.

Buck (looking around their room, voice soft): "It’s so surreal, isn’t it? The whole day, it felt like a dream."

Eddie nodded, his hand finding Buck’s, their fingers interlacing naturally. The connection between them had always been easy, comfortable—like they had always been meant to be this way.

Eddie (gently, his voice thick with emotion): "It is. But it’s real. All of it. You’re my husband now, and we’re a family. I couldn’t have asked for more."

Buck smiled, his heart feeling like it might burst with joy. He had never thought this moment would come. He had never imagined a life like this—one filled with love, with Eddie, with Christopher. They had all come together, and it was more than he could have ever dreamed.

Buck (softly, almost in awe): "I never thought I’d get this lucky, you know? To find someone like you, someone who makes me feel like I belong. And now, to be Christopher’s dad... it’s everything I’ve ever wanted."

Eddie’s eyes softened as he reached up to gently cup Buck’s face in his hands. He looked at him with so much love, it made Buck’s chest tighten.

Eddie (whispering): "You’ve always belonged, Buck. You’ve always belonged with me. And now, with Christopher. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be."

The words hung in the air between them, full of meaning, full of the love they had built over the years. It felt like everything had led to this point, to this moment of quiet intimacy and shared certainty. With a smile, Eddie leaned in and kissed Buck—slowly at first, testing the waters, savoring the sweetness of the moment. Their lips met softly, but the kiss quickly deepened as they both leaned into it, the world around them fading away.

Buck (pulling back slightly, breathing heavily): "I’ve never been this happy before."

Eddie (smiling, brushing a lock of hair from Buck’s forehead): "You should be. You deserve it, Buck."

With that, Eddie’s hands began to move gently, tugging at Buck’s shirt as he kissed him again, this time more urgently. The weight of the day, of their vows, seemed to hang between them, and they both knew they needed to connect, to be present with each other after everything that had happened. Their wedding was more than just a ceremony; it was the beginning of their forever.

Buck’s shirt was off in an instant, Eddie’s hands trailing over his skin as they both worked to shed the remnants of their formal attire. The act was tender but filled with the intensity of everything they’d been holding back throughout the evening—the excitement, the love, the overwhelming emotions that had built up over the past few hours.

Eddie (whispering against Buck’s neck as he kissed him): "I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life than I am of you, Buck."

Buck (breathing deeply, voice trembling): "I feel the same way, Eddie. I love you so much. I love you so damn much."

Their words mingled with their touches as they shared their love in the most intimate way possible. They had spent so long building this life together, working through everything, but tonight, tonight was about the purest connection they had ever shared. The quiet intimacy of their first night as husband and husband was more than they had expected—it was everything.

The bed creaked beneath them as they shifted, the rhythm of their bodies aligning perfectly. Buck’s hands roamed over Eddie’s chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath his fingertips. Eddie’s lips were everywhere—soft against Buck’s jaw, his neck, his chest. The feel of his lips, the warmth of his touch, was the most comforting thing Buck had ever experienced.

The world outside their bedroom no longer existed. It was just them. Just their love. And, for the first time in a long time, Buck felt completely, utterly at peace. He was home in a way he had never known before. And it was all because of Eddie.

As their passion continued to unfold, the love between them grew even more solid, more certain, a deeper bond that surpassed everything else. There were no more questions. No doubts. Just the unspoken understanding that they were exactly where they needed to be. Together.

Eventually, their lovemaking slowed, and they found themselves wrapped in each other's arms, their breaths steadying as they held each other close. They lay in the silence, both content and full of love.

Buck (softly, his voice barely a whisper as he looked at Eddie): "I never imagined I’d be this happy. This... full."

Eddie smiled, brushing a few stray hairs from Buck’s forehead, his fingers gently tracing the outline of Buck’s face.

Eddie (whispering back): "You deserve this, Buck. You’ve always deserved this. And I’m never going anywhere."

They both lay there, wrapped in the quiet comfort of each other, the world outside forgotten. Their love was more than just a bond—it was their everything. And tonight, they had truly become a family in the truest sense of the word.

As the hours passed, they finally fell into a peaceful sleep, entwined in each other’s arms. The first night of their married life, of their new family, had been everything they had dreamed of. And with each passing moment, their love continued to grow, as did their certainty that no matter what came their way, they would face it together.

The night was long, but for Buck and Eddie, it felt as if time had stopped, as if they were in their own little world—a world where nothing and no one could touch the love they had built. And for the first time, Buck truly believed in forever.
