#army!eddie/babysitter!buck au

[hoodie-buck]

army!eddie/babysitter/buck au has arrived y’all!! this is my baby, my absolute pride and joy, and i’m so happy to finally share with y’all 🥹 hope you enjoy <33

rated: e | chapter 1/10 | words: 5.7k | read on ao3

summary:

“Does this story have a point?” Eddie questioned, Lena narrowing her eyes at him; it would’ve felt threatening had he not known she was more bark than bite.

“This guy, my sort of friend—what if he could watch Chris for you?”

Eddie furrowed his brows together. “You want me to leave my kid who’s halfway across the country with some—stranger?” Was she out of her damn mind?

“It beats having him sent home to your parents, right?”

Well, she had a point there.

Eddie shook his head, overwhelmed with his thoughts.

“Look, I appreciate it Bosko, but I just—I don’t know. This is my kid we’re talking about.”

“I know that, and I know how much you love him. Hell, you’ve sent me ten plus emails when I was watching him for you.”

Eddie looked to where there was a line coming out of the office, his other teammates no doubt having several emergency questions of their own. He turned to Lena, giving his full attention.

“Alright, tell me about this friend of yours.”

—or—

The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.

Buddie | 5k | Teen

So even though he’s tired from his last shift still and distantly wishes he was home, he gave the babysitter the night off and brought Christopher to the station for their annual holiday party. He doesn’t regret it, seeing the smile on his son’s face, hearing his laugh from halfway across the room. Anything that makes him this happy is worth it. Which is maybe why Eddie also decided to invite Maddie and her niece, Mara Buckley to the party, too. --- this au features: single dad Buck, army Buck, reunions, adorable kids, and absolutely no mistletoes

fic rec friday

thanks for creating this @spotsandsocks 🥰 and to all my loves for the tags @prince-buck-diaz @heartbeatdiaz @buddierights @monsterrae1 🩵

—give us the links to your wonderful words with the Most hits/Most kudos/Most comments/Most bookmarks /Most words/Least words

**army eddie was taking everything so i did some runner ups 😂**

most hits: if i lay here, would you lie with me (forget the world) —The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.

most kudos: nobody can do everything— It's parent/teacher night, Eddie having brought Carla along to help him navigate through the vast school. Most of the teachers are unmemorable, save for the pretty English teacher, though she isn't the one that keeps his attention. No, that would be the one with blue eyes, the one his son is always talking about.

most comments: the holiday calendar —Buck ends up with an advent calendar during the start of the holiday season. He thinks it's possessed and out to ruin his life, the toys inside continually leading him to some doe-eyed beauty and his adorable son. Featuring best sister Maddie, and all the Uncle-Buck fluff we've been snubbed of.

most bookmarks: i want to love you (but i don't know how)— Buck buys him and Eddie touch bracelets, not wanting either of them to feel disconnected after Eddie leaves. They help, but the real thing is still better.

most words: changing tides—Buck had been drowning for as long as he could remember, never quite reaching the surface before being sucked back down, lost in the waves once more. He’d taken too many wrong turns, swam oceans he’d had no business swimming, all of them leading him farther away from home. He didn’t know how to get from where he was, to where he needed to be. The ocean was vast, Buck barely able to stay afloat. He was determined; never gave up. Fighting the currents was the easy part; it was keeping them at bay that gave Buck difficulty. He needed something he could tether himself to, something like an anchor—a person that wouldn’t let him wash away and fade out to sea. He needed someone like Eddie. (aka coastlines bucks version)

least words: mornings with you—A soft morning between our soft boys

i was finally able to write something, so here, have some flirty first date buddie from army!eddie/babysitter!buck (also i forgot how to count again 😌)

Pulling into the drive, Buck put his jeep into park, using the rearview to check himself one last time, pushing back a few stray pieces of hair. With another few breaths, Buck willed himself out and up to the door, knocking instead of using his key.

When the door opened, Buck was grateful he’d taken a few extra breaths, Eddie stealing them right back.

He looked Eddie up and down, unaware that Eddie was doing the same with him as well.

Eddie was wearing an army green button up that was opened to reveal a white Henley, both the sleeves rolled up, Buck admiring his tattoos laid there. On the bottom half, Eddie was wearing a pair of dark jeans that hugged him tightly, Buck refraining from asking him to turn around to demonstrate the backside. What? Buck had zero qualms admitting Eddie had a nice ass.

On Eddie’s feet were his typical boots, the shoes tying the outfit together nicely. Eddie looked good, really good. Buck could only imagine what the guy would look like in a suit.

At Eddie clearing his throat, Buck finally looked to meet those warm browns of his, Buck knowing his face had flushed a deep red for his wandering eyes.

“You ready to go?”

Buck nodded with a duck of his head.

“Yea uh, yea I’m ready.”

Eddie gave a little chuckle as he went to close the door, following Buck out to the jeep. Buck made his way to the passenger side, opening the door. Eddie eyed him keenly, raising his brows as he gave a low whistle.

“Handsome and a gentleman.”

Heat pooled deep within Buck, his face no doubt flushing red once more.

—have some silly fluff from the army!eddie/babysitter!buck vs 😌

“Happy Birthday!”

Chris giggled in delight as they squeezed him tightly and showered him with love.

“Are those pancakes?” Chris asked when they finally set him down, Buck motioning toward the batter. 

“Sure is buddy, just for you.” Buck frowned then, looking a little guilty as he rubbed at the back of his head.

“How would you feel about strawberry pancakes over chocolate chip ones?”

Chris thought it over a moment before asking, “what happened to the chocolate chips?”

“Uh….” Buck trailed off, Eddie fixing him with a stare. “Yea Buck, what did happen to them?”

Buck bit at his lower lip, looking around as if someone was suddenly going to come to his defense. When that didn’t happen, Buck very maturely pointed his finger at Eddie.

“Well maybe you should ask your dad, since he still has the bag!”

Oh, that was low.

Chris looked to Eddie with all the sternness of a six—seven—year old.

“Dad?”

“Yea, dad?” Buck echoed, Eddie narrowing his eyes at him.

Eddie puffed out a breath, shaking his head first at the empty bag, then at Buck.

“Well buddy, I don’t know how to tell you this, but Buck ate them. All of them.”

Before Buck could counter, Eddie added, “why don’t you show him your tongue there, Buck.”

Buck furrowed his brows together. “Traitor.”

Chris looked from Eddie to Buck. “You guys are weird.”

And well, neither of them could argue with that.

—more from army!eddie/babysitter!buck bc this wip has officially taken over my life. it’s a little over 60k now 🥹 (i took some things out so this wasn’t too spoilery 👀)

"Bosko," Eddie warned.

Lena only shrugged. "Oh c'mon, you brought him back a heart shaped rock and he gave it back to you while you were gone to keep you safe."

Well, Buck hadn't exactly said that. He wasn't even sure when Buck had done it, though he presumed it was sometime during one of their goodbye hugs, Eddie finding it in his pocket hours later. He'd sent a picture of it in his hands to Buck, the man only sending back the hand shaped heart emoji.

"You superstitious?" Greggs called out as Eddie made to cut his uniform front open.

Eddie gave Lena a half glare in warning before answering the man himself.

"Not really. Just—it reminds me of him." He debated how truthfully to answer. He'd never been good at sharing his feelings, being vulnerable. "My best friend asked me to bring it home for him, and so I did. I guess he gave it back to me for good luck."

It was enough of the truth without fully exposing his heart, Greggs seeming to take it for what it was, Lena smirking, though keeping her thoughts to herself.

As Eddie finished cutting the fabric, the uniform was pulled back to reveal the wound, as well as a decent sized tattoo.

"That's why I got this. Anything happens to that, l've got bigger problems."

Eddie noted the bullet wound was just inches from the tattoo, narrowly missing it. Eddie wasn't superstitious, but he had to admit, it was a pretty interesting coincidence.

The rock Eddie carried reminded him just as much of Chris as it did Buck. Chris was his whole heart, Buck back home with him. Whenever they were together, Eddie knew they were safe, whole.

Eddie worked on the wound, pressing gauze to help stifle the bleeding, packing it on. He was engaged on the task at hand, not hearing the beeping as it started, looking up when Bosko's voice hollered out.

"Incoming!"

Eddie looked up, just in time for something to collide with them, the helicopter spinning around.

He walked from the plane out to the lobby, his duffel over his shoulder, his tired eyes and feet guiding him forward. Bosko was next to him, doing much of the same. They were bone-tired, ready to get home, to relax.

Buck and Chris were sat at home waiting for him, Eddie taking his truck back that he’d left there all those weeks ago. He wanted nothing more than to teleport himself home, Eddie’s eyes barely able to focus enough.

It was because of this that he almost missed what was in front of him, Lena nudging into him.

“Hey Diaz, looks like your kid and ‘not lover boy’ came to your rescue.”

He looked up just in time to see Chris abandoning his sign in favor of walking towards him, Eddie suddenly feeling alive, finding a surge of energy. Letting his duffel slide to the ground, Eddie ran for his kid, scooping Chris into his arms once he was close enough. He swung Chris around, holding onto him tightly, bringing a hand to the back of his kid.

  “You’re home!” Chris snuggled into him, Eddie pressing his face close to his son’s head, wanting to hold him close and never let go. When he managed to look up, blue eyes pierced through him, a soft smile spread over Buck’s face as he watched the two of them. Eddie beckoned him to come closer, Buck taking a few tentative steps closer until Eddie was moving to close the gap. Refusing to put Chris down, Eddie leaned his free arm over, Buck awkwardly sliding into his hold, their foreheads brushing together. Buck didn’t pull away, the three leaned together, wrapped around each other.

  Chris finally got wiggly, Eddie helping him down, the boy moving toward Lena, Eddie watching as Buck wandered to go pick up his discarded bag. He stepped toward Bosko who was now hugging Chris, the two hugging tightly.Lena eyed him carefully as he approached, looking between him and Buck. 

Eddie dared to ask, “what?” She looked back to him, her tone loving, laced with a little warning. “Careful there Diaz. You three are starting to look like a real family.”

thanks for the tags loves @putijeansdiaz-ronordmann @eddiescowboy @spotsandsocks 💙 i’ve been working away on army!eddie/babysitter!buck (we’re at 21.7k now!) here, have 2 snippets bc i’m excited and forgot how to count today <33

Eddie: Hey Buck. We’re going to the zoo tomorrow. Chris wanted me to invite you. Hope you can make it 🦒

Buck stared at the giraffe emoji, unsure of what to make of it. It probably had to do with the zoo, right? He read the text over again, trying to take it all in. His heart sank a little, knowing Eddie had only invited him via Chris.

Even so, it made his heart swell, knowing he’d made such an impact on the kid that Chris still wanted to spend time with him even though he no longer had to.

He considered leaving the text for a while longer, or not responding at all, but that seemed unfair to Chris who was just a kid and had no control of his dads’ feelings—or lack thereof—for Buck.

Buck: tell chris that i’ll be there. wouldn’t miss it. also, are giraffes your favorite?

Eddie: Maybe. They have long ass legs like you.

Oh.

Buck: see you tomorrow 🦖

Eddie: Buck, you know there’s no dinosaurs in the zoo, right?

Buck: yea but they’re cool. plus this ones green like your eyes are sometimes

————————————————————————

For a change of topic, Eddie motioned toward the DVD case on the table.

“So, what’d you think of the movie?”

He’d noticed Buck watching like it’d been his first time, laughing hysterically while also getting a little teary eyed at some parts. Eddie had seen it enough times to be a little desensitized to certain parts. He will forever be traumatized by the intro though, Eddie often skipping it when Chris was a little younger.

“It was good, really good. The sea turtles were cool, but I think Dory was my favorite.”

Eddie set his beer on the table, looking back over to Buck.

“Yea? Why’s that?”

Buck fiddled with his bottle again, tapping on it a few times before answering.

“I guess I just—I kind of resonate with her.” Buck let out a sigh, sitting up a bit. “She’s lost, doesn’t—doesn’t know where she belongs. I feel like that sometimes.”

“I guess it’s a good thing we found you then.”

i’ve been sick with no energy all weekend, so here’s the last thing i wrote for army!eddie/babysitter!buck a few days ago <33

“Whatever. The point is, he’s great with Chris. He’s got all these cool facts too. I mean, I don’t even know how he retains half this shit, but the other night, he and Chris were telling me all about the stars, and oh, did I tell you what he said about natural disasters?”

Bosko gave him a wide-eyed stare, Eddie looking down at himself as if he’d suddenly stained his shirt with something.

“What?”

Lena shook her head, jutting her lower lip out a bit.

“Nothing. I just—well now I know why you two get along so well.” Lena laughed to herself. “Now that I think about it, I can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself.”

Eddie was completely lost now. “Think about what?”

Lena scoffed. “Jesus Diaz, you can be so dense sometimes.”

Eddie turned away as a new notification pinged on his computer, a new e-mail from Buck popping up in his inbox. His smile was instantaneous, Lena raising her brows to him once more.

“God, put your heart eyes away. I’m embarrassed for you.”

Heart eyes? He did not—

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She eyed him keenly once more. “We’re together almost twenty-four seven out here. Wanna try that again?”

Eddie waved her off. “Whatever. You could’ve warned me that he looks like well—that,” Eddie said with a point to the picture Buck had sent, one that finally included both him and Chris.

“Oh, I see,” Lena said, leaning in to get a better look at the photo. “You’ve got it bad.”

He slammed his laptop closed, thankful when their commanding officer called out to them.

He had no idea what she was talking about.

—here, have some angst from army!eddie/babysitter!buck au 😌

It was Buck who reached first, his hand coming to rest lightly over Eddie’s neck, thumb dipping beneath his shirt collar, pulling out his dog tags. Buck had traced them over several times out on the golf course while Eddie had meticulously watched.

“Are you ever afraid of losing these, that-that they won’t be able to find you?”

Not as afraid as I am of losing you.

Eddie kept his words to himself, answering a little less truthfully.

“All the time. My worst fear is that my family will never know what happened to me.”

Buck nodded, fingers tracing the lettering once more before he let go, the metal clanking as it fell back against Eddie’s chest. 

“I had dog tags when I was in the SEALS.”

“What happened to them?” Eddie asked, noting Buck’s use of the past tense.

Buck adjusted on the mattress, slipping closer into Eddie’s space, though still not touching.

“Dunno. Guess they disappeared somewhere along the way.” Eddie nodded; he knew Buck had been many places between then and now. “I always thought it wouldn’t matter anyway.”

Eddie frowned. “Why do you say that?”

Buck’s fingers tiptoed towards Eddie, stopping just before reaching Eddie’s hand that was laid between them.

“Even if someone found them, no one would’ve been looking for me anyway.”

Eddie closed the gap between them, pulling Buck’s hand into his.

“I would’ve looked for you.”

Buck was suddenly using their grip to pull Eddie close, tucking himself into the crook of Eddie’s neck and shoulder. Eddie pulled him close, wrapping the other man in his arms.

“Can we just lay here, just—forget about the world?”

Eddie nodded into him. “Yea, yea that sounds nice.”

Buck was there when he woke. Eddie was the one to leave that time.

—i actually have closer to 7 sentences today since i’m getting towards the end and can’t share too much 😌

“Got a new letter from your kid.”

Buck turned at the sound of his bunkmate, Ravi, a guy a few years younger than him. Ravi tossed the envelope his way, Buck catching it easily.

“He’s not—I told you he’s my friend’s kid. My best friend.” Ravi had been jiving him about it for weeks, Buck continually brushing it off.

Eddie had joked about Chris being their kid before, but he’d just been messing with Buck because of their situation—right? In hindsight, best friend sounded better than just friend, while not exclusively labeling him and Eddie as anything more.

Ravi gave him a skeptical look, one Buck ignored as he tore the envelope open. Inside was another of Christopher’s drawings, this one of the three of them, bowls and cartons of ice-cream littered all around. At the top was written: counting the scoops until you get home!

Tears welled in Buck’s eyes immediately. God he missed them so much.

Buck’s life had been vastly different only moments ago, his hangover still raging over him.

Why the hell had he let his roommates get him so drunk again? Oh right, because he had no one and nothing; it was nice to forget about that every now and again.

Buck swallowed thickly as he pulled on the handle, the glass door opening as he walked in, a harsh thud behind him as it closed again. He stood there unmoving, not quite sure where to go. Everyone was dressed in some type of suit or formal wear, Buck feeling significantly underprepared in his ripped jeans and old hoodie—there was no way anyone was actually going to say yes to this.

“Can I help you sir?” The man behind the desk asked, Buck stood there a little dumbstruck.

‘Yes, I’m looking for this kid I’m supposed to be taking care of because this sort of friend from the seals asked if I could watch her partners kid until he can get back. Yes, I’m crazy, thanks for asking.’

Buck shook his head, settling for something a little less detailed.

“I’m here to see a Renee Novak?”

The man nodded, typing a few things into the computer before standing and ushering Buck to follow. His worn converse squeaked across the pristine linoleum, Buck’s eyes widening for the visible dirt they were leaving behind.

“If you’ll just wait in here, she’ll be right in.”

Buck nodded, quickly thanking the man. The doors shut behind the guy, Buck stood there awkwardly looking around what appeared to be a courtroom. He paced around for a bit before sitting, not wanting to seem too eager or restless. Even as he sat, his foot tapped anxiously, knee shaking up and down. What the hell was he doing here?

When Lena Bosko had called only hours ago, Buck had thought she was joking, the woman often giving him shit when they’d been together out on the field.

He played the conversation back in his head, none of it still seeming real.

—

“Buckley, this is Bosko. What’re you up to these days?” Buck explained to her that he’d recently moved to LA, as per the postcards he’d sent her.

“Not much, just working in an assisted living place as a receptionist.” It wasn’t much, but it helped him pay his half of the bills at the house he was renting with a bunch of buddies he’d met while bartending. Lena skipped right past the pleasantries, never one for bullshit. “Great. How do you feel about watching a six-year-old for the next few weeks?”

Buck nearly dropped the phone, fumbling over his next words. “Uh, who’s kid, and um…why?” Lena was quick to explain her friend and partners situation, something about his ex-wife giving up custody of their kid and him not wanting his kid to go back to Texas where his parents and family were.

“Ok, and you want—you want me to watch him?” Lena chuckled on her end. “Eddie always says he’s not very fast.” Buck didn’t understand the joke, Lena quickly getting the rest out. “Look Buckley, you’re not exactly the first person for this, but he’s desperate, ok?” Ouch; sometimes her honesty was a little too much.

“Look, I saw how you were out on the field, how you put 110% into everything you do. I know you’ll take good care of this kid.”

Buck pulled in his lower lip, thinking it over for a moment. “Ok, I—I’ll do it.”

thanks for the tags loves @alyxmastershipper @spotsandsocks @spaceprincessem @buddierights @swiftiediaz 💙 here’s some buck and chris from army!eddie/babysitter/buck (special thanks to Ryan for helping me pick the snippet 🥰)

He got to Christopher’s school a few minutes early, Buck waiting outside the jeep, watching as the kids began to trail out. Chris smiled wide as soon as he locked eyes with him, Buck bending to pick the kid up into his arms once he was close enough, careful of his crutches as he swung the boy around.

“Hey buddy, how was your day?”

“It was awesome! We practiced subtraction.”

Buck wouldn’t call math a good day at school, but then again, he’d never understood much of the subject. He’d always been very confused by it.

“Oh, that sounds pretty fun. You ready to go home?”

“Ok. Did my dad call today?”

Buck shook his head, hating the look of disappointment that crossed the kids face. Eddie hadn’t been able to facetime the last couple of days, sending off e-mails instead to let them know he was ok.

“No, but maybe he will later, so we better get home and get that homework done just in case!”

That got Chris moving, Buck making sure he was fastened in before taking his spot at the wheel, Chris chattering on about his day, Buck listening wholly.

He made them a snack once they were home, helping Chris as best he could with his homework, thankful he knew how to do basic subtraction.

“Your dad’s gonna have to find a new babysitter once you reach third grade.”

Chris looked up to him, squinching his little nose.

“Does that mean you’re gonna leave one day?”

Shit. He was really failing at the whole ‘parent not parent’ thing today.

“No, I just—it was a joke, because you know that’s when they introduce division and—” He was getting away from the point. Reaching for Chris, Buck patted his hand. “I’m not going anywhere buddy, ok?”

That seemed to settle Chris. It did the exact opposite for Buck.

He had no idea what the next weeks were going to bring, let alone years.
