Summary
“Well,” Thomas chuckles, a beautiful sound if Buck has ever heard one. He wants to hear that sound again. “I tell people that it dislocated when I was stopping a helicopter from falling off a building, you know, like Captain America.” Thomas flexes his muscles then, showing off his thick arms, which Buck has the strangest urge to bite. “But I actually just lost a game of tug of war with my dog.”
That startles a laugh out of Buck’s mouth, and he turns to see Thomas grinning at him. Buck feels almost trapped under his gaze. Thomas is staring at him in a way he can’t decipher, his nose scrunching up in a way that has Buck’s heart beating at a perfectly normal pace (if normal is trying to win an olympic sprint).
“What about you?” Thomas asks, tilting his head slightly and gesturing towards his leg.
Buck thinks about telling him the truth. Saying he’s the firefighter that half the population saw getting crushed by a firetruck. But for right now, he doesn’t want to be seen as that guy. So instead, he simply says, “Crush injury.”
(Or Buck and Tommy meet at Physio after the truck bombing and grow closer and closer)

Summary
from the prompt: bucktommy + sharing secrets
And it’s not like everything that Tommy had been hiding from him was bad. A lot of them are little, exceedingly kind things that Tommy felt were embarrassing for his cool younger boyfriend to see him doing. Even now, he won’t make eye contact with Buck after he grabs his elderly neighbor’s mail from the mailbox and walks it up to her porch to hand it to her directly. He shrugs it off when he mows her lawn, too.
“She took a bad fall about ten years back,” Tommy explains. “I have to do my lawn anyway, so I might as well keep going once I’ve got the mower out. It’s not a big deal.”
It’s not, but at the same time it kind of is. It reminds Buck why he fell for Tommy in the first place.

Summary
"So we start dating," Buck says, "and it's... it's incredible. Eye-opening, obviously, but just- just warm, you know? Comfortable. Like, hey, maybe- maybe this could be it. And then on our six month anniversary, he tells me he's gay."
Abby snorts. "You hadn't picked up on that by then? Him dating another man wasn't a big clue?"
"Hey, well, I'm not! And, I don't know, he'd said it before, but I didn't know he was like... Kinsey six gay. We hadn't exactly talked about exes. Not until that night. So I asked if he'd ever been with a woman, and he said he'd been engaged to a woman once, but that he'd broken it off and really hurt her. He said she started dating some young himbo after him. I already felt bad for her, but then... then, uh, he said- he said that the woman was you."
Abby stops in the middle of dimpling the dough. Her body locks down. What are the odds?
"You're dating Tommy?"
Or:
Abby gets a call from Buck out of the blue, learns that her ex-fiancé just dumped him, and reflects on people becoming different versions of themselves.Bookmarked by used_pickles

Summary
“What's up?” Tommy asks when Buck drops his phone on the couch with a sigh.
“Man, I totally had a crush,” he says, sighing.
Tommy smiles and kisses his temple. “You want me to grab some ice cream and we'll talk about it?”
Aka 5 times Buck missed his bisexual awakening and 1 time he figured it out.

Summary
Tommy isn't sure how he ended up stretched out in his sister-in-law’s living room with a mask on his face and his hands encased in slimy bags, but it's actually pretty relaxing. There's music playing that makes him nostalgic for Natural Wonders, and he idly wonders if he can buy a rain stick somewhere still.
“My nose itches,” Maddie announces.
“Just wiggle it, dear,” Margaret says serenely.
