Buddie

Buddie is the slash ship between Evan "Buck" Buckley and Eddie Diaz from the 9-1-1 fandom.

Season 2
UNDER PRESSURE

Hen, Chimney, Bobby and Buck are discussing the firefighter calendar, when Chimney points out the new guy behind him, and how handsome he is. Buck see's him and asks Bobby who he is. Bobby explains that he's Eddie, their new recruit. Buck asks what they need him for, but Bobby assures him that Eddie's history in the army makes him a good fit. He offers to introduce him to Eddie, and leads Hen and Chimney over as Buck watches.

On the way to a call, Buck asks Eddie if his full name is Eduardo, but Eddie says it isn't. He then asks if people call him Diaz, but Eddie also says no. Buck thinks that they need a nickname for him, since everyone else has one, and Eddie asks if he should take Buck seriously. Chimney says that he never does, and they all laugh much to Buck's annoyance.

As Buck is working out, Eddie walks over and starts his own. Buck pulls out his phone and starts to take some selfies, but Eddie says that he's in the wrong light. Buck says that he doesn't need light to look good, Eddie rolls his eyes and goes back to his workout. Chimney asks what he meant, and Eddie explains how they need warmer lighting to make you look good, and pulls out his phone to show some examples. Buck walks over and see's the picture's and says that it's cheating for Eddie to use a professional photographer for the calendar contest. Eddie corrects him and tells him that his niece did them. Eddie asks what Buck's problem is and Buck says that it's Eddie. He has too high of a comfort level for someone who only just arrived. Eddie says that he didn't mean to step on anybodies toes, and knows that Buck is going through some stuff since his girlfriend dumped him. Buck says that she didn't dump him, but Eddie just doesn't want Buck to feel threatened by him since they're on the same team. Buck asks why he would feel threatened by him, and Eddie agrees. They do the same thing, Eddie has just also done it while being shot at.

In the ambulance, Buck guesses that Eddie's seen a lot of shrapnel wounds, which Eddie has. Buck then asks if he's ever seen someone with a length of rebar in their skull, and Eddie asks what they're measuring. Buck says that working in L.A. means that they still see some pretty nasty stuff, when Eddie stop them. He looks at the grenade stuck in the man's leg and realizes that it's live. He yells at the ambulance to pull over.

They X-Ray the mans leg and see the round inside of him. Buck is confused since he thought it already went off, and Eddie explains how it actually works. They can't get the grenade out and had to call in someone who will be up in an hour, but Buck says that the man doesn't have an hour. Eddie says that he'll do it, since he's treated this before, and Buck says that he'll do it with him.

Eddie and Buck enter the ambulance and start to prepare to remove the grenade. Eddie asks Buck if he's ready and Buck nods. They start, Buck trying to keep the man's leg open while Eddie removes the grenade. Eddie instructs Buck on how much pressure to apply, and they get it out, Buck holding open the box for Eddie to place it in. They wheel the man into the hospital, and take a second outside. Eddie tells Buck that he's a bad ass under pressure and that he can have his back any day. Buck says that Eddie can have his, causing Eddie to snicker. He calls it a deal and they shake hands as Bobby comes up. The ambulance then suddenly blows up behind them, and Eddie asks if they're hungry.

Eddie is playing pinball, as Buck tries to suggest nicknames, but Eddie still says no. Bobby then comes up and tells them they picked a winner for the calendar. Buck says no hard feelings no matter who won and he and Eddie fist bump. Bobby says that's good since they didn't pick him. Buck jokingly says that it was rigged and congratulates Eddie, but Bobby says that it wasn't him either, confusing Buck.

Season 3
FALLOUT

As Buck and Eddie are cleaning up after dinner, they talk about Maddie's friend who is still with her abusive husband. Eddie asks how Maddie is, and Buck tells him that she's taking it rough, but is going to have to realize that she can't save someone from themselves. Especially if you're not around to see it. Eddie looks to Buck, confused, and Buck says that he's sorry for not being there when he and Chris needed him. Eddie says that they're past that, but Buck isn't. He should have been there to talk sense into Eddie, or at least talk him out of buying the truck. Eddie thinks that Buck would have just convinced him to get something more expensive, which Buck takes as a fair point. Eddie says that things got out of hand for both of them, Buck shouldn't beat himself up about it. Buck asks if that's because he'd rather do it, confusing Eddie. Buck asks him to be honest with him, and suggests that Eddie might have been throwing his punches at the wrong guys. Eddie asks if he's really making it about him, and Buck says that the day in the grocery store he was pretty sure that Eddie was going to punch him. Eddie says he wouldn't do it, even if Buck deserved it, since he's on blood thinners. Buck says that he could still take him, Eddie asking if he thinks so, and Buck says he does. He walks closer to Eddie and asks if wants to go for the title. They then go play Street Fighter with Chris.
