Because some love stories aren't loud. They're the ones that linger in what we don't say... Until we finally do. 🎭 Drama 😨 Angst ❤️‍🔥 Slow Burn ❤️ Buddie

"When do I get to be happy, Eddie? When do I get to have what I want? Where do I find this person?" Buck almost sobs. Eddie is so fucking done holding back; he's done watching Buck be mistreated; he's done hiding who he is; he's done hiding how he feels; he's so fucking beyond done with not having Buck where he belongs. Eddie makes his choice; it's time. "Maybe they are closer than you think, Buck," Eddie whispers into Buck's ear. Buck stiffens, and Eddie doesn't panic. He waits it out. Buck takes a deep breath and tightens his hold around Eddie's ribs. Buck leans back and looks into Eddie's eyes. Eddie reaches up and wipes the tear away from under Buck's eye. He slides his hand down to cup Buck's jaw. "Can I?" Eddie asks, and Buck gives him a very firm nod of approval. Eddie pushes up on the balls of his feet and softly presses his lips to Buck's.

"My heart is all I got, and I don't even know if I can trust it to keep beating." Her twin brother smiles at her "You got me" Raya's life was finally put together, she had family, great friends, and was stationed at one of the best firehouses in New York city. That is until her brother boyfriend destroys him, and her father has some bad news. She packs their whole life up and moves to Austin, Texas with her dad, and brother. Leaving her mother and bestfriends behind.

After surviving a lightning strike that stopped his heart, firefighter Evan "Buck" Buckley wakes to a strange new ability. He can hear the last thought of anyone he touches. But when a near-fatal rescue links him to Eddie Diaz's mind, Buck is haunted by the one thing louder than the thunder: Eddie's unspoken love for him.

A stray dog's unexpected arrival brings Buck closer to Eddie and Christopher than ever before, and somewhere between shared walks, quiet nights, and unspoken glances, friendship turns into something that feels a lot like forever.

After a bad fall on a call, Eddie Diaz wakes up in a hospital bed with a pounding headache, a foggy timeline... and one thing he's sure of: The man sitting at his side, fingers laced tight with his, is his husband. Evan Buckley knows that's not true. They're best friends, partners on and off the truck, tangled up in each other's lives but never quite brave enough to cross that last line. But when Eddie looks at him with raw, terrified eyes and whispers, "Buck?" like he's home, the correction dies on Buck's tongue. The doctors call it retrograde amnesia. Buck calls it a second chance he was never supposed to have. As Eddie pieces his life back together, his son, his job, the 118, he leans on the memories he thinks he has: late-night talks, shared vows, rings that never existed. Buck tries to hold the lie together without breaking under the weight of it, knowing every borrowed moment will hurt more when the truth finally comes out. Because Eddie may have forgotten everything else... but somehow, he never stopped loving Buck.
