bucktommy and the rest of the firefam having a lil family gathering at bobby and athena's house. and buck spends a majority of the afternoon playing with the kiddo's, so tommy spends a majority of the afternoon making heart eyes at his adorable, silly, golden retriever boyfriend (and takes all the teasing he gets for it from his family like a champ).
and eventually, buck makes his way back over to the adult side of the party, only there's nowhere for him to sit. but before anyone can make space for him, he decisively makes his way over to tommy and just. plonks himself down straight into his boyfriend's lap. tommy doesn't even bat an eye. just. moves his arms out of the way to make space for buck and then wraps them securely around buck's waist when he's all settled in and comfortable. presses a quick kiss to his cheek, greets buck with a soft, "hey, baby," and then carries on his conversation with eddie. buck beams, cheeks flushing slightly even after all this time. mindlessly grabs one of tommy's hand and locks their fingers together, letting them fall to rest against his lap. misses the soft smiles he gets from his family at the interaction and turns to join in on the conversation everyone else has going on around him.
(eventually, as the evening goes on, little by little, he sinks further into tommy. body unconciously shifting, progressively curling inwards, towards his boyfriend. head slowly dipping, drifting further and further down until it's fully resting against tommy's shoulder. his conversation tapering off. it's a losing battle to keep his fluttering eyes open after tommy lifts his free hand to start stroking through his hair. there's a kiss pressed to the top of his head and he hums, content.)
