Summary
“Hey, Buck?” Christopher says. “How do you know you’re not in love with my dad?”
Buck freezes. A full body clench. “Uh,” he says. “Could you - - I think I - - sorry,” he laughs uncomfortably. “Could you repeat the question?”
“I asked Dad, but now I’m more confused. And you date men, right? But you don’t date Dad. So how do you know you don’t want to date Dad?”
Or, Christopher has some questions. He asks the two worst possible people.

Summary
He’s so close. But Buck’s face sways even closer, eyes hyper-focused on Eddie’s mouth, like he wants to ensure that what he whispers next make its way inside:
“The quiet, closeted catastrophe of Edmundo Diaz—performed nightly for an audience of none.”
Eddie flinches. For a second, all the noise in his head goes silent.
“W-what—” Eddie’s voice cracks and he’s trying to frown, trying to be mad, but he feels exposed, so his words come out broken, confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”or: buck fights back during the kitchen scene in 8x17 and it sends eddie spiralling

Summary
“Did you know that kissing is good for you?”
Buck asks the question out of absolutely nowhere, and Eddie blinks as he tries to process the words. To be fair, it’s barely seven in the morning — on their day off, after Eddie’s night on the couch — and he’s yet to have the coffee that typically kicks his brain into action.
Also, what?
“Buck,” he says, rubbing at his eyes. “What?”
Or: Eddie and Buck start platonically kissing.

Summary
This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.
He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.
Maybe it's because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.
He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.
Now, it’s all gone to shit.
or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Summary
buck: hey, who's the guy from your story
ravi: what guy?
buck: the one with his arm around eddie
buck: hahahaHe adds the ‘hahaha’ like it will somehow disguise the fact that he's two seconds away from flinging his phone into the sink and following it. Then he sends the screenshots. All of them.
Wide shot. Cropped. Zoomed in. Then zoomed in so tight it barely looks like a human neck anymore. In a few of them, he even circled the offending hand or added sad little arrows pointing to where the real problem was, like he thought Ravi might somehow miss it.

Summary
Eddie glances back up and finds Buck’s attention already fixed on him in the mirror. Buck smiles at him, eyes big and wide and sparkly, as he holds his hands up and asks-
“What do you think?”
Eddie’s gaze flickers between Buck’s eyes, and the blue, purple, and pink heart that’s been placed ever so carefully on his cheek, just beneath his left eye. It draws Eddie’s attention to Buck’s birthmark - to the lovely, pink angel kiss that he always wants to reach out and touch…to press his lips to. Buck looks so good that Eddie can’t keep it to himself.
(Or, Buck and Eddie get ready for pride together. Some confessions are made along the way.)

Summary
Buck blushed. “I just mean..! Most guys when they see me, they think, ohh big bulky guy, he must be into manhandling smaller dudes and that’s just not it, you know?” He paused for a moment, checking Eddie’s reaction but he stayed still, so he continued, “I guess it’s my fault, maybe I’m too heavy, I don’t think I’ll find a guy who can mess me around any time soon.”
Eddie blinked, there was this line that he painted in his mind that strictly distinguished between the friendship he carefully cradled with Buck and the primal hunger he suddenly had to fuck Buck across the kitchen table. The alcohol had loosened both of their tongues, and neither of them even had too much of it. However now, Eddie was itching toward that line, and before he knew it, he was already crossing it and reaching towards that inner desire.

Summary
“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

Summary
He’s big, is the first thing Eddie notices about him. Not just his body - though his shoulders are broad and his biceps are thick - but his presence, too. He’s so commanding that he’s impossible to miss; he draws all of Eddie’s attention even as he sits silent and motionless, like he’s trying to disappear. He has a halo of curls on his head and a shock of pink above his left eye.
Angel, Eddie thinks, and something twists uncomfortably inside his chest.
Or: Eddie is a priest, and Buck is a firefighter, and once their worlds collide nothing will ever be the same again.

Summary
Eddie is - he’s straight, okay? And Buck is way past wanting things he can’t have…way past begging for scraps of affection and attention and love. He refuses to ever be that person again, even for Eddie. So. So Eddie wasn’t in love with Buck, and Buck wasn’t - isn’t, can’t be - in love with Eddie, and all of this is just. It’s ridiculous. Impossible. Unbelievable.
“I’m not in love with my best friend,” Buck says, but the words feel strange in his mouth.

Summary
“They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”
“So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”
“A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”
“And I am—”
“The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”
----
Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.

Summary
“I ever tell you I used to be a stripper?”
No, Eddie thought, some hysterical kind of indignation slipping into his mind. No, Buck hadn't told him. And why not? Was he planning to use those skills with the guy who looked like the walking personification of a weed pen? Was he just planning to…
Eddie got lost in his quickly forming images of Buck.
As a stripper.
Stripper Buck.
Buck stripping.
Buck naked.
Straight guys sometimes pictured their friends naked. So normal. Just human nature.
OR -
Eddie works out what his joy looks like enough to start making moves on Buck, but does not get far enough to figure out what that means for him. He is also haunted by Chappell Roan.

Summary
"Cool." Buck says, and he's looking at him. "And, I mean, we are bros, right? You don't mind me calling you that?"
Eddie stares right back. "I don't mind it at all, bro." he replies.
"You know what?" Chim says, "You guys are all my bros! My best bros! Let's cheer to my best bros." he adds, and they all clink their beer bottles together.
Or Buck starts calling Eddie "bro". Eddie is confused. Then he's mad. Then Buck's mad.

Summary
"I think we should go clubbing again," Buck announces in between Forza races. "We have a Friday in the middle of our 96, it would be perfect."
"You guys planning something?" Hen asks, coming over from the kitchen with a bowl of trail mix.
"I'm trying to get Eddie to come pick up guys with me," Buck says.
Hen's eyebrows arch high above her glasses. "Really," Hen says.
"It's more of a wingman situation," Eddie tries to explain.
"Yeah, Eddie picks the guys so I don't make stupid decisions," Buck says, flicking through menus to pick a new racetrack.
The combination of Hen munching peanuts and looking back and forth between them makes Eddie feel like he's a zoo exhibit. Best Friends, captured in the wild, still feral, exhibiting behaviors heretofore unknown to science.
"Well, good luck with - all that," Hen says pointedly to Eddie. She is definitely not talking about the video game.

Summary
“You think we should have sex?” Eddie clarified — still in that slow, deliberate tone, like any sudden movement would cause the ceiling to cave in around them.
Buck rolled his eyes. “I mean…not for real.”
“Okay. So you think we should have fake sex."
“Yeah, like reading Our Bodies, Ourselves isn’t the same as watching porn, right? It’d be educational sex.”
“Well if it’s educational sex...”
Or: Buck learns that Eddie's never had a prostate orgasm. Clipboard sex ensues.

Summary
At the end of their first date Shannon had kissed his cheek, her mouth soft and cold and smelling like strawberry-kiwi lipgloss, and she’d said, you’re not like any of the other boys, are you, but she'd said it like it was a compliment.
He doesn’t know why he’s remembering that now. He hasn’t thought about it in years and years.-
Eddie processes. It doesn't go all that well.
