Summary
If you ask them, they’ll tell you that they are, in fact, best friends. And it’s not that they aren’t. It’s not that they’re unaware of each other’s feelings - or their own. It’s not that they’re in denial, or trapped by heteronormativity to a point where they can’t envision the romantic implication this could have. But they are best friends before anything else. They feel deeply, fully for each other, a trust so bright and so pure it trumps love itself. They don’t need anything else than this because this already makes them feel complete in a way they hadn’t been for a long time before meeting each other. So yes, if you ask them, they’ll tell you they’re best friends. They’re also in love. It’s not something, Buck has found, that needs to be shown to the world or verbalised as such. It’s not something that has to be presented as inherently romantic, either. Because they are best friends before anything else.
OR
Eddie gets shot and slips into a coma. Buck tries to hold his family together through it and thinks back on the relationship they've built.

Summary
God, how he loves this man. How he loves the life they’ve built and the family they’ve found.
“You’re awfully quiet over there, cariño” he says as a distraction, for fear of spilling out everything else. Not that Buck doesn’t know. He knows. But Eddie is still struggling with his own fear of opening up. He's still struggling with his own fear of letting anyone see and understand him. Even though somewhere deep down he knows Buck’s always seen and understood him without needing to hear the words he has to say. That is just a step he has to take for himself.
They’re like rivers and oceans, he thinks. Intricately linked, flowing into each other at the junction.
OR
What Buck's relationship with Josh changes for Eddie... and what it doesn't.
