Summary
“He’s so hot. You have to hire him. Please hire him. Please, please, please.”
Now Eddie really can’t bring himself to stop eavesdropping.
“I’m not hiring the guy just because you think he’s hot, Buckley.”
Shit, maybe he didn’t do as well in that interview as he thought.
“But not– not just me!” Buckley continues, “Think of the customers! Think of how much he’ll make in sales just with that face. I know I would keep ordering drinks if it meant I could keep staring at that.”
Or, Eddie gets a job and a future husband.

Summary
“Buck.” Eddie fixes him with a look. One that reads what the hell have you done?
“Don’t worry about it.” Buck runs his unoccupied hand down Eddie’s arm in a reassuring touch. Eddie, despite probably wanting to kill Buck a little bit, grabs him by the wrist and holds on. “I did all the research, okay? I know what I got myself into. They’re like my children now.”
“No they’re not.”
“Yes they are, baby, look, this is my daughter.”
Eddie leans closer into Buck’s side, wrapping an arm around his waist. “That is a crab.”
Or, while Eddie was in Texas, Buck got another pet.

“Imagine what the papers will say,” Eddie says, taking on that same teasing, floating tone of voice, “The Buckley rake finally chooses a partner.”
“Mmm, but we did it all out of order, imagine the scandal if society finds out.”
“Guess you need to court me properly, then.” The lights in the room twinkle in Eddie’s dark eyes. “Make me an offer I can’t refuse. You’ve already ruined me for everyone else, it’s the gentlemanly thing to do.”
Or, Buck and Eddie visit the Bridgerton Experience.

“You know, there’s a new little café opening up down the street.” Buck puts on his best sultry look. “Supposed to be very… intimate.”
“Oh really?” Eddie looks up from where he’s wiping the bottom of the locker room windows.
“Mhm.” Buck nods, cocking a hip. “Bet we could have a really nice time there.”
Eddie smiles innocently. “Sure, wanna go tomorrow?”
Whap! Buck promptly smacks him in the face with his rag.
“What the hell?!”
“You’re supposed to reject me, Eddie!” Buck throws his arms out in exasperation, knocking his spray bottle into the glass. “I was flirting with you!”
Or, Eddie is bad at reading signals, Buck tries to teach him.

Summary
“Welcome back, baby,” a strange, far off, floaty voice says from somewhere nearby. The world is spinning, but it’s also not, and someone is holding onto Buck’s bicep and making him walk into a bright light and he’s so, so very confused.
“Baby?” Right. Baby. He has a baby. “Is my baby okay?”
Oh God, is that why he feels so weird? Is something wrong with his baby? He brings a clumsy hand to his stomach, but it’s completely flat. It shouldn’t be flat.
“You’re okay,” the voice, Eddie, Eddie is somewhere, says, “You just had your wisdom teeth taken out.”
“My teeth? They took my teeth?” Buck starts to panic. “How am I supposed to feed the baby if I don’t have any teeth?”
Or, drug induced visions of mpreg.

Summary
Buck was babysitting Jee-Yun yesterday. Little girls like to play dress up and paint nails. It’s for a completely innocent reason, why Buck’s nails are painted a sparkling pink.
He still just can’t stop staring at them.
Buck talks with his hands too, which makes it even harder to ignore. Every time he’s able to direct his attention somewhere else, Buck throws up a hand or gestures to something in the air and Eddie’s eyes land right back onto his short, glittery, hot pink nails.
Eddie didn’t know it was allowed for people like them to paint their nails pink.
Or, Eddie gets his nails painted.

Summary
He never used to turn the porch light on in Los Angeles. Sometimes he would, if Chris was out with friends and coming home late, or when he was feeding that stray cat that kept coming around. Those were rare occasions though, he never turned on the light just to have it on. There was no point.
Except now, when it starts to get dark, Eddie starts feeling an itch under his skin that doesn’t go away until he flicks that switch and the space around his front door lights up. No one is coming over, Eddie isn’t going anywhere, but the light is on. Just in case.
Or, Eddie leaves Buck in Los Angeles, but he keeps the porch light on just in case.

Summary
“How many is that?” Buck is almost hysterical. “Fifty? Sixty?”
“Sixty-three, I think,” Eddie answers, “I just finished one the other day.”
It took Buck an entire year of living in this house, almost eight years of friendship, to discover the cupboard that apparently contains sixty-three scented candles of all different shapes, scents, and colors.

Summary
Exhibit A: Maddie has somehow rejected every single offer of baked goods for the past month and a half in increasingly non-offensive, but suspicious ways.
Exhibit B: Not a single person has asked Buck to bring a pastry to their brunch plans, or a dessert to their dinner plans, despite his very clear love for baking.
Exhibit C: Eddie discourages Buck from supplying baked goods to people and events like it is an olympic sport.
And the outlier.
Exhibit D: Eddie also eats every single one of Buck’s creations, enthusiastically. He waits by the oven like a child, shoves cookies, pieces of bread, and scones into his mouth like a starving man, moans and groans in delight, and even asks Buck when he’s planning on baking more.
Or, Buck has a theory.

Summary
Every year, participating stations decorate one truck or engine in lights and garlands in order to compete for five hundred dollars to be donated to the charity of their choosing.
There are two stations out of that handful that take the job so seriously, that there are now signs posted around the grounds discouraging fighting. And stealing.
Station 118 and Station 6 are Christmas enemies.
Each crew member has their own beef, no one is a neutral party. Generally, it’s a station-wide hatred rather than on an individual basis, however, firefighters Buckley of Station 118 and Diaz of Station 6 are their own Christmas enemies.
They have a funny way of showing it.
Or, Buck and Eddie do not do the whole "enemies" thing very well.

Or, Eddie takes care of Buck's new dog. He doesn't want to give it back.

Summary
“You aren’t needed back for thirteen more days,” Captain Nash speaks calmly, “I thought you would spend it with your wife and child.”
“Aye,” Eddie says. He turns around to face his captain. “My son has been taken.”
“No man has ever come back from there,” Captain Nash says, “You know that, Eddie.”
The use of his given name forces him to turn his attention back to the man towering over him. “I know. But I have to try. And if somehow he’s still– It’s my son.”
Captain Nash considers him for a long moment, expression unreadable. Then finally, he holds the lantern that must have come from his chamber out to Eddie and says, “Let’s be on our way, then.”
Or, Christopher goes missing and pirate!eddie meets siren!buck.

“Buck?” Eddie calls, wandering back into their bedroom after dropping Chris off at school. Usually Buck would come with them, but he could barely get the man to wake up enough to tell him he was going.
“Hnng,” he hears from underneath the sheets.
“Oh no, where did Buck go?” Eddie teases, stopping at the foot of the bed. The lump in the covers breathes slowly.
“‘M dead,” the lump says, voice muffled and raspy.
Or, Buck has a cold.

🔔 Someone is at your front door.
The video loads in and Eddie is instantly greeted by nostrils.
The camera lens makes for a very tragic fish eye view, especially if you’ve got your face right up in the thing, which is what the man at Eddie’s front door is doing at the moment.
“Open up,” the man whines, “I know you’re in there.”
Or, finding love through the Ring camera.

Summary
So, when Eddie asked Buck to join him on a double date, he probably should have respectfully said no.
He did not say no.
Instead, here he is, sitting across from a beautiful girl named Alex trying to be polite enough to not make things awkward, but not enough so that he leads her to believe he’s into her, because all he actually wants to do is make out nasty style with the straight guy sitting next to him.
Or, Buck and Eddie attend a double date. It's unclear who is double dating who.

“I need you,” Buck says on the other end of the phone. Eddie knows exactly what that means.
There’s a thick, wet trail of blood coating the floor, Eddie sighs internally at how much of a bitch that’s going to be to clean up. Buck has never been very good at keeping his messes to a minimum. That’s what Eddie is for.
“I think you’re gonna like this one,” Buck tells him, then turns on his flashlight and points it at the corner of the room.
Or, Buck is a serial killer, his latest victim is personal.

Summary
Eddie’s first shift at his new job is fine.
“That could be my future husband out there,” has been echoing in Eddie’s brain since the moment he stepped into the building at four o’clock to punch in for his shift. He was absurdly giddy about it the entire drive, daydreaming about working side by side with Buck, brushing elbows, having him look over his shoulder while he figured out the computer system. Real intimate stuff.
“Do you like gummy worms?” Christopher asks someone.
“I do,” the voice answers, “But I actually like gummy sharks more, have you had those?”
“They make sharks?”
Or, Eddie has a new job and misses his future husband.

Summary
“What about Eddie? Do you know where he is?”
Apparently, cats can sigh. Because this cat gives him the most human-like long suffering sigh he’s ever heard and sticks him with an expression that is so frustrated and grumpy it almost reminds him of–
Wait.
“Eddie?”
The cat nods his goddamn head again. This cannot be happening. Buck must be in another coma dream or something because there is no possible way that Eddie Diaz has been turned into a cat.
Or, Eddie is turned into a cat.
