Unforgettable Summer || Buddie

"Eddie?" He asks incredulously, eyes wide as he sees the man in front of him. Eddie Diaz, the man he had a brief fling with right before he joined the 118.

The man looked at Buck, pressing his lips together in a tight line. "Who are you?" Eddie asks, making Buck frown. How could he have forgotten him? They had been pretty much inseparable for the few months they were together.

Shaking his head, Buck held his hand out for a handshake. "Buck." He introduces himself.

Eddie took his hand and nods, giving him a firm handshake. "Nice to meet you Buck." What kind of name was Buck, Eddie had thought. He just smiles and Buck almost cries. He missed that smile. "Wait, how did you know my name?"

"Lucky guess?" Buck shrugs. He really wanted to say, 'I know your name because I spent the better part of three months practically screaming it.' But he decided against it since the whole team was staring at their interaction.
