Summary
It all starts with a phone call.
Lazy afternoon silence is shattered by the loud ringtone.
"I'm coming to kill you on Tuesday." Woman's voice.
Sukuna glances at the date on his screen. Friday. October 9th.
"Works for me. I'm free on Tuesday." He replies, tilting his head slightly, intrigued. -

Summary
Eddie is right there beside him, shoulder brushing Buck's, chatting with one of the women from the 113. Buck joins in the second Christopher's name comes up.
Eddie hides a smile behind a swig from his bottle and lets him take the lead — no one knows better than him how Buck gets when Chris is mentioned. So Buck talks away, nods along, pulls out his phone to show pictures of the three of them.
"Oh wow," the woman says. "That's so great. Such a sweet family. How long have you two been–?"
"We're not together!" Buck blurts out at the exact same moment Eddie says, "Eight years", earning them both a confused look.
or
Buddie get mistaken for a couple at Nashville games. Buck absolutely can't have that. People should stop assuming. After all, he can't be in love with his straight best friend.
The straight best friend has his own thoughts about the matter. -

Summary
“Eddie? Are you ok-” he doesn’t even manage to finish the question before Eddie drags his palms across his face in that very typical manner of his and blurts out.
“I’m gay.”
He’s not looking at Buck, eyes darting all across the room, his skin is pale and he overall looks a little… haunted.
“I’m gay and I’m in love with you.” Eddie says — or more like, mutters to himself, — pacing back and forth again, before stopping and finally facing Buck head on. “Please, don’t date anyone else.”
“Ok-ay...?” Buck answers on an instinct. “Okay.” He takes a deep breath, shaken and frozen on the spot, taking Eddie in with wide-open eyes. Okay…
Actually, no, screw that! Nothing about this is okay. It’s the least okay things have been for a while. It can’t be happening.or
Buck gets back into dating, prompting Eddie to come out, confess and propose. They argue about it. Ravi might have done it on purpose.

Summary
Castiel sits on a bench near the motel's parking lot, with that guy — Abraham — far too close to him for Dean’s comfort. They bonded instantly over their nice biblical names and, of course, the whole "Cas saving his life" thing. Son of a bitch just wouldn't leave since then. What's worse — Castiel doesn't seem to want him to, being far too comfortable in the proximity of that stranger. That guy.
*******
Or the one where Dean is forced to do the whole "talking" thing, as someone appears to threaten the shaky balance between him and Castiel.

Summary
"It’s new, yes, and terrifying, but I feel a changed man, steady and bright. Oh, how your magic thrills me.”
Todd folded the paper up once again and looked up, eyes searching. They found Neil’s, locking, asking some sort of question, and Neil almost forgot how to breathe. His heart was pounding rapidly, almost painfully so. Incredible. That was incredible.
Todd’s eyes finally left his as the other boys gathered around him, cheering. The light of the fire danced across his face.
“Todd Anderson, everybody!” Charlie cheered. “What a man! A czar of romance, if I do say so myself.”
“Yeah, Todd, tell the people who that lovely sonnet was about!” Meeks clapped him on the back.
“Not a sonnet, idiot,” Knox cut in. “All the same, who’s the lucky girl, Todd?”
Oh.
If Neil hadn’t been able to breathe before, he sure couldn’t now. He’d been so lost in the language. He hadn’t even considered the clear implications.
“A summer love?” Knox proposed eagerly.
“Something like that," Todd said quickly, and Neil's stomach dropped.

Todd reads one of his own poems aloud for the first time at a meeting. Neil, convinced it's for a girl, spirals.

Summary
“Best friends,” Eddie repeats the words like they're foreign. Like he’s never heard them before.
“Yeah, you know that,” Buck insists, he’s tempted to reach out, wants to pull Eddie into him, but he’s not sure if that would help or hurt right now. “We’re BuckandEddie,” he adds for good measure. That’s what everyone always says. It’s an easy answer when they’re acting ways that others deem bizarre.
Eddie is silent, seemingly processing what Buck just said. He can’t be sure, but Buck feels like he just failed some test he didn’t know he was taking. That was not the right answer.
“What exactly do you think we’re doing here, Buck?” He demands, gaze steely as he finally meets Buck’s eye. His tone is so cold it sends a shiver down Buck’s spine. Do you know how much Christopher misses you? How could you? You’re not around. All traces of golden syrupy warmth from earlier in the afternoon are gone. “Are you fucking all of your best friends bare?”
or,
Buck and Eddie are having platonic best friend sex. Buck's sure of it.

Summary
This is all perfectly applicable to friendship. Friendships require effort. Intentionality. Sometimes you have to watch a minute long Instagram video about attracting men to figure out how to get your male best friend to come back to your house and fall asleep on your couch again. Or in your bed. Either one.
Whatever Buck's comfortable with. Eddie's not picky.
Eddie will take whatever proximity Buck is willing to offer and be grateful for it, and if that sounds desperate then fine, it's a little desperate, but it's friend-desperate, which is a completely different thing than regular desperate.
He replays the video and takes mental notes, formulating a plan that is simple: get Buck's attention. Spend more time with Buck. Stop feeling like his ribcage has been hollowed out with a melon baller every time he goes forty-eight hours without hearing Buck laugh.
Easy and straightforward. He’s got this.
Or,
Five times Eddie tries to show Buck how much he misses him; plus the one time he just says it.Series

Summary
The boyfriend looks at Eddie's arm, looks at Eddie's face, does whatever math drunk people do when they're deciding whether a fight is worth it, and somehow arrives at the correct answer. He grabs maybe-horse-Ashley by the elbow and pulls her away, muttering something about firefighters that Buck doesn't catch because he's too busy trying not to pass out.
Eddie turns around. His hand is still on Buck's chest.
"Seriously?" One eyebrow up. Not angry yet, but getting there. "We've been here an hour."
"He came at me!" Buck throws his hands up. Outraged. Innocent. An absolute victim of circumstance and nothing more. "I was just talking to her."
"You were practically on top of her."
"That's just how I talk to people, Eddie. I'm a leaner. It's my thing."
Eddie stares at him for a second. His hand drops from Buck's chest and he shakes his head, turning back to the bar.
"Get yourself a drink," Eddie says over his shoulder. "And stay out of trouble for five minutes."
He makes it roughly eleven minutes before he does something stupid again.
Or,
Buck is completely normal about Eddie shoving Blue to defend his honor. Really. He is.Series

Summary
“Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.
“What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.
“I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”
“You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”
“I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn't make this moment hurt any less.
---
Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.
