Summary
It hits Buck in the Costco frozen pizza aisle on a Wednesday morning in the middle of October.
I wanna hold his hand, Buck thinks, followed immediately by What the fuck?, and punctuated with a No, seriously, what the fuck was that?
____
or: Buck realizes he's in love with Eddie, promptly crashes out about it, cries about it, and then fucks Eddie nasty and tender about it, in that order -

Summary
If Buck draws a line from the day of that earthquake until today, he’s pretty sure it would be as red as the string of fate and as strong as spidersilk. When he was living in Eddie’s house, Buck realised just how caught up in Eddie’s web he was and ran away, desperate to free Eddie from the depth of his emotions. Now, even though he’s moved out, a single smile from his best friend reels him back in, and he finds himself wishing for more time in Eddie’s orbit.
So when the ceiling collapses in on them, trapping him and Eddie inside the parking lot, there might be a tiny, microscopic chance that it’s Buck’s fault for jinxing them.
Or, a month after Buck moves out from Eddie's house, Buck and Eddie get trapped underground together during an earthquake and have a conversation that's long overdue.

Summary
“I'm not in love with you.” There’s a jolt in Eddie’s stomach at that. “I’m not secretly pining for you, or anything like that. I don’t even see you that way.”
“Oh,” Eddie says, then forces out a laugh he hopes sounds casual. Buck’s eyes are wide, honest, like he’s desperate for Eddie to be reassured by this admission, to believe him. And how much clearer could he be? He’s not in love with Eddie. That’s fine. Eddie never expected him to be. His now empty beer bottle hits the counter too loudly, “No, of course not.”
Or: Buck reassures Eddie that he's not in love with him. Eddie feels some type of way about that.

Summary
“You’re gonna go call him, aren’t you?”
Buck doesn’t dignify that with an answer because they both know what he’d say, and Chris throws himself dramatically back against the couch.
“I called dibs on you today. Don’t let him sway you to his side.”
Something warm unfurls through Buck at the idea of that. Being important enough to Chris that he’d want to call dibs.
“There are no sides, bud.” He ruffles Chris’s hair, “But you know I’m always on your team.”
(or: eddie & chris get in an argument. this time around, instead of running away, chris comes to buck.)
