Chapter Text
Buck had been counting down to the Taylor Swift Reputation tour for months now.
He and May stayed up until the early hours of the morning, the younger omega clutching Buck's card in such a tight grip that Harry had said that Buck was going to have to buy a new card.
Finally, as soon as the tickets were up, Buck was locked in. He didn't know how he did it, but he managed to grab the last front row tickets before the Sold Out banner appeared on the screen. Bobby had rushed down the stairs, baseball bat in hand ready to defend his family as soon as the screaming started.
Only for him to drop the bat and heave a deep sigh as the alpha found the two omegas jumping up and down and screaming that they were going to Taylor.
Athena had joined her husband and just shook her head fondly at the pair before ushering them both to bed, ordering Buck to stay the night, as it was too late for him to drive back.
Completely ignoring the fact that her son was 24 years old and had been out until 3 in the morning drinking and partying as soon as he became legal to drink.
Now, the day had finally come. Buck had the Greyhound tickets ready, since his jeep was due to be checked over and fixed because the engine started to gove him trouble, as well as the matching outfits and tickets tucked away safely in his bag. Only for Athena to open the door and give her eldest child a small smile. It was only there that Buck realised that she was dressed in her casual clothes, not in her uniform. "I'm sorry, honey. May came down with a bad fever last night and I'm just taking her to the doctors," Athena explained, phone in hand and, when Buck looked over at the screen, he saw that she had his contact pulled up.
Immediately, concern flooded Buck as he gave his adopted mother a concerned look. "Do you need me to get anything?" He asked as Athena just smiled faintly and shook her head, taking his hand and squeezing it softly.
"No, Buck. You need to catch your bus, and I don't want you too get sick. I've transferred May's half of the ticket," she replied, raising a hand before Buck could protest and beg her to take the money back. Instead, the female alpha just gave Buck one of her warm, motherly smiles that never fails to make Buck's heart all soft and warm.
The omega leaned against her palm, purring softly as he basked in her soft skin. He then heard feet shuffling and looked over, finding May wrapping herself tightly in an old jumper and shivering violently.
A concerned noise soon escaped Buck, causing May to smile shakily as she lifted a hand, waving shakily towards her older brother. "H-have f-fun, Buck. T-t-take lots of p-photos and videos," she said, voice rough and shaky from the sore throat she was developing.
Buck gave her a small smile, wanting nothing more than to go over and hug her tightly. But Athena immediately stepped in, knowing her eldest to smother his siblings with love and affection in his bid to heal them from any illnesses that they get.
It was a trick Maddie had obviously passed down onto him, since the beta still does it to him.
"I will. Keep hydrated and look after yourself, missy," Buck ordered, causing May to roll her eyes fondly as she waved her hand in a dismissive manner. "I will, now go," she commanded, causing Buck to roll his eyes fondly.
After giving his mother a firm hug, Buck ordered an uber, seeing as he was leaving his jeep at his parent's place because Bobby had already planned on giving him a nice homemade meal once he returned from San Diego. Picking up his bag, Buck got into the back of the uber, waving to his mother and sister before being driven off.
He arrived at the bus station just as the bus was loading it's passengers up. Bag in hand, ticket in the other, Buck took a deep breath before heading to the bus. Once he had shown his ticket, Buck climbed on and sat by the window, looking out as the last of the passengers were loaded up.
While a part of him felt guilty about May not coming, another part was excited. He couldn't remember the last time he travelled on his own, the last being his trip to Peru.
Slowly, a bright smile appeared on his face as he felt the bus pull out and watched as the different people waiting outside waved to their loved ones while the bus was driving off. Taking a breath, Buck unlocked his phone and went to the latest true crime podcast he was listening too.
He planned on getting as many photos and videos as possible to make up for May's absence.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Of course, it wouldn't be Buck without some bad luck happening.
Nothing went wrong with the concert. It was just as amazing as he expected: the crowd was buzzing and the extra shifts and overtime was definitely worth the ticket price as Taylor stood basically ten feet away from him.
When he got back to the hotel, he immediately bombed May with photos and videos of the concert, as well as sending a photo of the bomber jacket he had gotten for her, as well as a program and a bear plushie with Reputation on it.
However, just as he got changed for bed, his phone flashed with an unknown number. Frowning slightly, Buck opened his phone, and his heart dropped to his stomach. It was from Grayhound, sending him a refund for his ticket for tomorrow. Buck sat down on the bed, opening the message up.
We are sorry to say that the service you had booked has been cancelled due to technical issues.
We apologise for the inconvenience and have refunded your money. We hope that this doesn't effect your future travels with our services.
Kind regards.
Stacy Robins, acting manager.
"Fuck," Buck muttered as he jumped on the website. Of all the times for him to leave his jeep behind, it had to be when he was out of Los Angeles and away from family.
His parents were busy with work and May, and there was no way he was going to contact Maddie or the others when they were busy with work. Taking a deep breath, Buck typed up different public transport websites to try and find a way home.
His eyes then landed on a train website and he immediately clicked on. Buck sighed in relief as he quickly got a ticket, seeing as there were limited spots and had a feeling that everyone from the concert had recieved the same message from Greyhound.
Putting his phone on the charger, Buck flopped onto the bed, throwing an arm over his face as he felt all the adrenaline and excitement from the concert seep through his body as he felt the strong tides of sleep pull him into it's currents.
With the reassurance that he had a ticket home, Buck spent the next few days exploring San Diego, going to all the different sights, spending time down at the beach and hitting the night clubs as soon as the sun was down.
Then, three days later, Buck was at the train station, slowly and carefully making his way through the corridor as he looked at any available cabins he could sit it. The train itself was nice; modern with a fancy flare to it, making Buck feel like he was in some sort of modern classy train rather than the more modern ones.
Finally, he reached the end of the train and saw an empty cabin. Only to stop when he saw that there was another person inside already. Buck glanced over his shoulder: there were only two cabins left, and both were accompanied by two alphas.
The one on the left was an alpha in his 50s, and he was already eying Buck up like he was some sort of meal that he was going to devour. He went as far as to lick his lips as he flashed Buck a slimy smile. "I have space in here, sweetheart," he called, voice nasal and gross enough to make Buck feel disgusted.
Before he could force himself to smile politely and decline, there came a cough as the alpha inside the cabin Buck was standing half way in placed his tablet down.
"Come, Cariño. The train is about to go," he called, voice smooth and deep, completely different from the older alpha's voice. Buck felt a shiver go up his spine before he found himself moving inside the cabin, closing the door on the other alpha's scolding face.
He then turned to his saviour and his breath got caught in his chest as he found himself sitting down opposite the alpha.
Because he was by far the hottest person he has ever seen. Deep, rich brown eyes that looked like melted chocolate and smoked topaz combined scanning his body and containing a warmth that travelled through Buck's whole body.
Buck continued to discreetly look over at the alpha sitting opposite him. To quote Taylor Swift, the alpha was dressed in a way that made him look like a gentleman in a world of boys.
A formal white top that spoke business attire, gelled dark hair and rich tanned skin, the alpha looked like he just got out of a meeting and was now travelling back home.
"So, you're obviously heading to Los Angeles?" The alpha asked. The omega shifted slightly, trying desperately to stop his cheeks from turning red as the alpha looked up from his tablet and gave Buck a small smile.
"Uh, yep. Thought it would be nice to take the train for a change," he replied, causing the alpha to place the tablet down and place an elbow on the table. Which acted as the only barrier that stopped the alpha from moving closer.
Slowly, a smirk grew on the alpha's fave as he gave Bucka wink.
"Well then, we have some time to kill. So why don't we get to know each other? My name is Eddie, what about you?" The alpha asked, holding his hand out for Buck to shake. The omega beamed happily as he took his hand, feeling his body heat up even more as soon as Eddie ran his eyes over his body.
Unlike the old pervert opposite them, Eddie's gaze was respectful, yet somehow heated enough that it made Buck fight the urge to contain his slick.
"Evan. But everyone calls me Buck. It's nice to meet you. Thanks for the save, that alpha over there gave me the creeps," Buck said as Eddie flashed him a smile and wink before picking up something from the small side bar underneath the window. He picked up two glasses and filled them with some scotch, before passing one over to Buck.
"Of course. Although, I hope that you don't think that I'm being a creep as well," he said as Buck picked up his glass and took a small sip. He didn't really drink scotch, but the taste sent an excited thrill through his body and made his taste buds come alive as he gave Eddie a smile.
"Trust me, you aren't a freak. I'd rather be here with you than him anyway," Buck replied, a hint of a flirtatious smile growing on his face as he gave Eddie a wink.
The alpha himself looked older, maybe early 30s. But there was something that drew Buck in, and it wasn't just his looks. It was his charismatic nature as he told Buck about his job as a CEO and how he enjoyed catching public transport from time to time, as well as helping those in need and speaking out for the migrant communities.
It was a soft, warm gaze he gave Buck as the omega told him about his travelling stories, his career as a firefighter and how he wanted to be a role model for the younger generation and younger omegas out there.
Then, the bottle of scotch went down further, and the two moved closer and closer until Buck was on Eddie's lap. The omega quickly learnt that he had accidentally stumbled into the first class carriage, his seat in economy remaining empty
But one thing that wasn't empty was Buck. Because he had Eddie's cock deep inside his pussy. Buck tipped his head back, gasping and moaning loudly as he rode Eddie like his life depended on it. Eddie gripped his hips, growling against his neck as he thrusted deeper and harder into Buck, biting along his neck as his hands travelled underneath Buck's top.
"Fuck, Cariño. So fucking hot and tight around my cock, taking me in like such a good boy," Eddie praised, causing Buck to let out a high pitched whine as he bounced on Eddie's cock, feeling it breach deeper inside his cunt while scrambling to hold onto the alpha.
He couldn't remember what lead to them fucking like wild animals inside the cabin: he was laughing at a story Eddie was telling him about some stupid thing a fellow CEO did at the dinner he was just at. The two had paused in their laughter and simply gazed into each other's eyes, before Eddie moved closer as he cupped his cheek.
Even in their state, Eddie showed great care and being a gentleman as he waited for the omega to give him permission to kiss him.
It was Buck that surged forward, kissing Eddie passionately. And that had broken the alpha immediately, causing him to deep the kiss before pulling Buck onto his lap. Now, here they were, Eddie leaving bruises on Buck's hips as he bit along Buck's neck and any exposed area of skin that he was determined to mark.
Finally, Buck felt something thick and heavy along Eddie's cock brush against his clit, causing a high pitched whine to escape Buck as Eddie gripped the back of his neck, pulling him closer. Before Buck could even say anything, a keen erupted from him as Eddie's sharp fangs puncture his neck, while his hot, heavy cum flooded Buck's womb.
The omega collapsed on top of Eddie, panting heavily as if he had run a marathon while the alpha slumped against the seat. Eddie tipped his head back, groaning throatily as he cradled Buck in his arms, gathering his breath before turning his head.
Buck turned his face, lips brushing just in time to graze against one another as he gave Eddie a slow, tender kiss, shivering slightly as he felt the alpha push his knot in deeper inside the omega. "Well....I didn't expect to have sex inside a train carriage," Buck joked, his tone breathless as he caressed Eddie's cheek.
The alpha smirked slightly before leaning forward, capturing Buck's lips in another kiss while gently rubbing his back.
"Well, amor, you certainly made the two hours fly by," Eddie replied, causing Buck to beam as he pressed his forehead against the alpha's. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to have a brief moment of peace and to savour the moment before they had to part.
However, while the omega was savouring the alpha's warmth, Eddie was savouring something else. Buck missed the dark look that appeared in Eddie's eyes as the alpha's hold became more possessive. He didn't see the way Eddie pressed his lips against the bite mark on his neck, watching with greed and pleasure as the mark started to take place.
Evan Buckley was completely unaware that he had captured the attention of Eddie Diaz when he walked into one of Eddie's nightclubs the night after the concert, smile bright and outshining everyone in the room.
Eddie had planned on going down to Buck, but the omega had moved away before he got to the middle steps.
So imagine Eddie's surprised when the omega he had been jerking off to in his head walked into the cabin, baby blue eyes bright and a small smile already growing on Buck's face.
Eddie's men were already waiting at the station, ready to take the alpha who dared to talk to Buck like he was a sex worker. In the meantime, Eddie shoved his knot in deeper, the thought of Buck's belly swelling with his baby adding fuel to the fire as the omega whimpered against his neck.
Dios, Buck would look so beautiful. Dressed in fine silk, belly taunt and round, jewels glittering on his swan like neck and fingers. Christopher would adore him. His family would love him. His people would worship Buck like a God.
Eddie Diaz was ensnared and ready to lock Buck down as his wife.
Unfortunately, the automatic female voice filled their cabin, breaking the couple of their little moment of paradise.
"Approaching Los Angeles Station."
Buck sighed heavily as he slowly pulled himself off Eddie's cock, whimpering slightly as he felt a gush of cum leave him. And Eddie, who prides himself in not panicking, felt a flicker break through his calm. He ranmaged through his bag before pulling out a small, round plug.
One of his men had brought it as a joke and given it to Eddie, saying that it would be good in case the alpha ever found someone to breed. Eddie had rolled his eyes, but suddenly he was glad. Because it would keep Buck full off his cum.
He laid the omega down, Buck's startled, yet pleased keen filling the cabin as Eddie shoved the plug inside the omega. Eddie then caught his chin and kissed him passionately, swallowing the omega's little whimpers before he cleaned up his thighs and buttoned up Buck's pants.
By the time the pair had made themselves more human, the train had pulled up to the station. Buck fixed up his curls, his breathing going back to normal as Eddie buttoned up his pants and tucked himself in.
"Well, Mr. Eddie, thank you for making the trip back more exciting. Hopefully I'll see you around," Buck said as they grabbed their bags and headed out of the cabin. Eddie wrapped an arm around Buck, and he thought that they painted a beautiful picture; one light and bright, the other dark and mysterious.
"I'm sure you will, Cariño," Eddie said, giving Buck a smile and a wink before noticing his men waiting by the waiting area as soon as they stepped off the train. Eddie took a deep breath, and Buck went to give him his number. Only to frown slightly when he saw Chimney standing at the platform, giving Buck an apologetic smile as he held his uniform up.
"Ready to start work?" He asked, causing Buck to blink before he went to turn to Eddie, giving him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I have to go," he said as Eddie smiled faintly and slipped a card into Buck's pocket.
"Call me, Buck," he said as the omega beamed and kissed his cheek. He then hurried over to Chimney and, while the omega questioned the beta as to why he hadn't called him that morning to tell him that Bobby was sick and they were short staffed, Eddie watched his sun walk away.
"Señor, we have to go," one of his men whispered before Eddie sighed heavily before walking alongside them.
He hoped that Buck would contact him soon. He wasn't ready to let the omega go, not when he just got him.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Buck forgot a few things.
Like checking his phone that morning, which, if he did, then he would have seen that both Hen and Chimney bombed him with messages and calls asking the omega if he could come back to work ASAP because Bobby was sick with the flu and B Shift were down firefighters as well.
They had both apologised and said that they had tried to get floaters in, but the other firehouses were struggling because of the new influx of the flu that had spread through Los Angeles.
So Buck got changed into his uniform and got straight to work. Forgetting about the plug inside him until much later that night in the shower. But, most importantly, he forgot to take a little white pill that sat in it's case in the second draw of Buck's toilet cabinet.
That was because Buck was so exhausted that he crashed onto the bed, and the little white pill remained untouched, forgotten in that draw and forever remaining untouched as Buck juggle between shifts and trying to keep on top of getting enough sleep to survive the shifts.
He also lost Eddie's number in between changing oht of his causal clothes and into his uniform, so Buck mourned losing the one thing that connected him to Eddie.
He had tried to search for the alpha online, but it was pretty hard when there was 3,000 other Eddie's in Los Angeles.
Then, he started vomiting in between the early hours of the morning and late evening. At first, Buck chalked it up to the flu; he had finally been able to see his family after a week and made sure that they were alright. But he did hear that you could still contact the flu even weeks after.
Then the dizziness started, and the change of appetite. He found himself gagging at his father's lasagne, turning his nose up at Maddie's pot roasts and only having Karen's jumbo when his stomach didn't feel like it was trying to rip itself out of his body.
Then he was so exhausted. He barely walked through the door before he was collapsing on his bed, fast asleep before his body even made contact with the mattress. Somedays, he wouldn't even make it to the couch. Instead, he would be fast asleep on the couch, and it was a miracle that he never slept through his alarms.
Oh, and his pants were struggling to button up. Buck had to wiggle and force the buttons together, often leaving him dizzy and gasping.
Of course, his family knew something was up. Bobby and Athena had offered to take him to the doctors, Chimney and Hen looked ready to admit him then and there. Finally, Maddie was the one to crack the wall that Buck had tried to put up in regard to his health.
It happened after one of the 118 dinners. Buck was fine: he was laughing at something Karen and Hen were talking about, helping Athena with the salad as May and Harry played some sort of pop culture media quiz.
Then Athena opened a glass of wine, and Buck's turned such a ghastly shade of pale that everyone froze slightly. "You okay, Buck?" Hen asked, reaching over to touch his shoulder, only for the omega to jerk violently as his hand flew to his mouth.
"He's going to be-," Harry was cut off as Buck ran upstairs, hand clasped so tightly against his mouth that Maddie was worried he was going to bruise. She put the glasses down and hurried after Buck, rushing to the bathroom as the sound of violent retching filled the room.
The door was shut, but that didn't stop the sound of Buck vomiting into the toliet.
Maddie took a deep breath as she lightly knocked on the door, slowly reaching for something in her pocket as Buck spat up the last of his bile before slumping against the wall, panting heavily as he rested his cheek against the porcelain wall.
He took a couple of deep breaths, trying to stop his head from spinning before he called out.
"You can come in," he called, voice raw and hoarse as he heard the door open gently and Maddie walked in. The beta crooned softly as she kneeled beside her brother, gathering him in her arms as she pressed her lips against his forehead.
No fever.
Sickness throughout the day.
Lightheadedness.
Exhaustion.
Change in appearance.
Change in scent.
Maddie closed her eyes before she took a deep, grounding breath as she rubbed her brother's back, feeling Buck let out a tiny, broken purr from her touch. She then looked towards the door, and found Athena making her way in, followed by Karen and Hen. Maddie already knew that Bobby and Chimney were lingering outside, while May and Harry sat in the lounge, waiting anxiously.
Athena kneeled down to her son next, gently carding her fingers through his curls as Hen kneeled in front of Buck.
The women shared a look, before Maddie took a deep breath and fished for something in her pocket and passed it over to Buck. The omega stared at it in shock, then denial. Finally, acceptance appeared on his face as he took the pregnancy test box, shaking slightly as Maddie pressed her lips against his head.
"It's going to be okay," she whispered as Athena nuzzled him gently. "We're here for you, baby. Nothing will ever change that," she reassured as Buck took a deep breath before he gave a small nod. "Alright. I'll....I'll take it."
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
The test barely waited 15 minutes before a little plus sign appeared.
While Buck was sitting on his childhood bed, holding his sister and mother as he sobbed tears of shock, then joy, then uncertainty, then joy once again, someone else was sitting up.
Eddie Diaz didn't forget about Evan Buckley. He knew that the omega was out there, carrying his light and spreading it throughout Los Angeles.
As he stood in his office in his manor, overlooking Los Angeles, Eddie made a vow to himself.
"I will find you, mi amor. And I won't be letting you go."
