Summary
Eddie’s the first one to announce the obvious, “Theo, come to the table after you do what I asked.”
“But Eddie-”
“No,” his best friend’s unwavering voice cuts through the kitchen air, making one corner of Buck’s lips start to lift.
Because, okay. Buck might be enjoying the Theo-Eddie duo a little too much sometimes, especially when Theo is met with the-
“Ohh, the Dad Voice,” Chris whispers against his next forkful of eggs, their eyes meeting with a matching amused expression.

Summary
Theo wants to be just like Buck.
Unfortunately, that apparently includes falling from high places.
One broken arm, two matching casts, and a very long day later, Eddie realizes the Buckleys might have become his family long before he ever noticed.
And that Buck might have become something more.
Or:

Summary
Buck considers his options. There are two things that could be going on.
One: Eddie is just embarrassed by his slip-up at the beach. Kissing your friend on the back of his neck isn’t something they usually do—with each other or any of their friends—so this is just Eddie being self-conscious. Buck could ignore it and it wouldn’t affect their lives in any way.
Option two is different. Buck’s less sure of this one. It’s just—if it were him doling out kisses of affection with the people he loves and trusts and is building his life around? He’d be pretty embarrassed to give a kiss and not receive one back. Or, maybe not embarrassed. Maybe a flavour of rejection. And now he knows he’s definitely projecting, because Eddie doesn’t grapple with rejection the same way Buck does.

Summary
“Do none of you care about the children? It’s a bachelor auction, and you, my friend, are a bachelor. Abracadabra, put your name on the list.”
“I can’t,” Eddie repeats. He can’t. He cannot. “I’m not.”
“You’re not? Since when?” Chimney frowns. “Who?”
It’s not Eddie’s fault that, at that exact moment, Buck walks in. So it’s not his fault that he opens his mouth and says, “Buck.”
Or, Eddie trips and falls into a lightly fraudulent HR-disclosed "consensual romantic relationship" with his best friend. Really, if you think about it, it's a win-win.

Summary
“C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.
"What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.
"You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”
Eddie can’t believe his ears.
"That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."
“Oh so you concede?"
Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.
OR
Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

“Can you open your eyes?”
“No. I can’t look at you.”
“Because I’m gay?”
Buck sighs dramatically.
“Because you’re pretty. And because you’re gay. Because you’re gay and pretty.”
“Buck,” Eddie laughs. “Open your eyes.”
Or, Eddie comes out to Buck. Buck panics. Hijinks ensue.

Summary
Finally, Eddie spoke. His voice was barely audible. “You shouldn’t have shown me this.”
Buck shifted. “Why not?”
“Because it’s 2 am on a school night, and now I need to go wake my kid up to tell him how amazing he is and cry into his pajama shirt.”
He was already moving, rolling towards the edge of the bed, but Buck was quick to pull him back. They wrestled half-heartedly; but the effort was hardly real on his opponent’s part and eventually Buck prevailed. Eddie slumped back, going limp in his arms.
Buck only pulled him closer, pressing his lips to the warm skin of his torso. “He knows,” he whispered into his skin.
Or;
Buck and Eddie, still figuring out what they are, want to keep their brand new relationship under wraps. Their boys don't quite get the same memo.

Summary
“Whose dads did Theo catch smooching?” Chimney slides into the chair across from them, an easy smile stretching across his face.
Buck chooses that exact moment to appear at the top of the loft stairs, freezing as soon as Chim’s words leave his mouth.
Chimney glances around the group, clearly waiting for a continuation of the station gossip. His grin fades as he slowly takes in the silence, gears turning as he clocks the red staining Eddie’s cheeks and the way Buck’s jaw unhinges itself and hangs slack.
“Oh my fucking god.” He deadpans. “Theo caught you two –”
“No, we weren’t –” Eddie tries, desperately throwing himself in front of the avalanche of lies that is quickly picking up speed and swallowing up everyone in its path.
“Eddie!” Buck interrupts, so shrill and sharp that everyone in the vicinity freezes and stares. “Can I talk to you over here, please?”
Theo mishears Eddie accusing Buck of "mooching" and accidentally sets fire to Eddie's plan to 1) come out and 2) tell Buck that he's in love with him. Miscommunication and a brief fake-dating stint ensue.

Summary
Eddie is working hard on figuring himself out, getting a life, and also reestablishing contact with Buck after worrying about them drifting apart and their friendship changing. Realizing that sometimes people misunderstand his relationship with Buck should not be the shock it is. Also, if Chris could stop launching verbal sneak attacks on him, he'd appreciate it.
Meanwhile, Buck's learning to parent a toddler while not at all being insecure about something said by one Margaret Buckley. He's just studiously avoiding the word 'Parent' like the plague, and otherwise doing his damn best.
or
If Buck had a nickel for every time someone left him their kid in their will without his knowledge—well, he’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice now.

Summary
“Buck,” Eddie says and he must sound some sort of way because Buck’s tone switches immediately.
“Is everything okay?”
Eddie wants to say no, that this is d-day level bad, but it’d be a lie. It’s not bad at all, just nerve wracking, just new. “Yeah, everything’s fine. My sisters are here.”
“Both of them? Adriana and Sophia?” Buck asks, voice matching Eddie’s level of shock. “In California?”
“In my house, right now,” Eddie responds. “Apparently Christopher invited them without telling me.”
“Oh, Eddie,” he whispers empathetically.
Or Eddie's sisters come to visit their nephews and help him discover a new perspective.

Summary
Theo takes one, tiny nibble then slams himself backwards into his chair, which Eddie just narrowly stops from tipping over. “I’m hungry,” he sobs.
Buck crouches by Theo’s chair and wraps an arm around him. He pats his back and tries not to fall into hysterics himself. “I know, honey. I’m sorry.”
“Hey,” Eddie whispers over Theo’s head. “Let me try.”
Buck considers it for a moment. Eddie isn’t the terrible cook he and Chris like to pretend he is. “Okay. Theo, did you hear that? Eddie’s gonna make you a quesadilla.”
Theo’s face brightens substantially, and his tears cut off. “Eddie?” he sniffs as he leans into Buck’s side and gets snot on his shoulder.

Summary
“He—He had a nightmare,” Buck says. Eddie can tell he’s tugging at his hair. “He was asleep for barely an hour, and now he won’t stop crying. The thunder scares him.”
Before Eddie can ever answer, Theo’s cries interrupt him. His voice wails out a sad, “EDDIE!”
Eddie pauses. “Did he just say my name?”
On the other line, Buck’s breath hitches. Eddie pulls the comforter off himself, already springing into action to find his shoes and car keys.
Still, Buck doesn’t reply. Theo’s sobs are even more earsplitting through the phone. “I want EDDIE!”
“He’s—” Buck sucks in a breath. “He’s asking for you.”
OR: Theo can’t sleep because of the storm. Buck calls Eddie and Christopher for their help.

Summary
Suddenly, Buck drops forward a bit, bumping his head against Eddie's collarbone with a quiet exhale.
"You good, man? What was that?" Eddie asks with a hesitant chuckle.
Buck shrugs. "Just… instinct, I guess." He responds, scratching his neck. "Seemed like the thing to do."
Eddie concedes with a shrug and a short "Alright then." If Buck wants to headbutt him because it feels like the thing to do he won't stop him.
OR: 4 times Buck drops his weight on Eddie without any explanation and 1 time Eddie asks why.

“Parrotfish have teeth in their throats,” Buck said.
Christopher looked at him. “Why do you know that?”
Buck looked back. “Why don’t you?”
“They make sand,” Buck told Theo.
“The fish make sand?” Theo asked.
“They eat little pieces of coral and then the parts they don’t use come back out as sand.”
There was a pause.
Theo’s nose wrinkled.
“Out their butt?”
Buck glanced at Eddie.
Eddie folded his arms. “You started this.”
“Basically,” Buck admitted.
Theo stared down through the glass at the parrotfish.
“Poop beach.”
Christopher chuckled.

“Would you marry me?”
Eddie stared at him.
Buck stared back.
The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.
“What?” Eddie said.
Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”
Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.
Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”
Eddie said nothing.
Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”
“I know.”

“Is it weird that I’ve always wanted someone to kiss me like that?” Eddie says, mouth completely skipping that whole ask-brain-for-permission-first thing.
“No weirder than me always wanting to kiss someone like that,” Buck replies.
Every bit of oxygen is sucked out of the room. The movie is still playing, but Eddie can’t hear it over the ringing in his ears. His eyes snap to Buck, who is rhythmically puffing his cheeks out and picking at the label on his bottle of soda.
Five time Buck and Eddie kiss platonically, and one time they don't.

“Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”
Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”
“I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”
Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

“She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”
Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.
“Say something,” Buck instructed.
“What?”
“Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?
Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.
“Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”

Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.
