Summary
Eddie asks Buck if they can start platonically dating. You know, to get some practise in so they can learn to be better boyfriends. No strings, just two bros hanging out, doing romantic things to temporarily fill a void.
It doesn't take long for Buck to realise he is hopelessly in love with his best friend, his very straight best friend. Needless to say, he doesn't make the best decisions from there.

Summary
During a call Buck meets a young boy, and when he once again runs into him he realizes the boy might need more help than he originally thought.
As he battles with how to help him, he also tries to come to terms with the realization that his feelings against his best friend might not be quite as platonic as he once thought.
----
“Hey, you ok kid?” He asks and offers the water with a comforting smile. The boy tenses and looks up at him under the hood with suspicious eyes and Buck realizes he is younger than he originally thought, probably around 12 years old if he would take a guess. He patiently waits and eventually the kid reaches out and carefully grabs the bottle, wriggling it in his hands but makes no effort to drink it. There's a bit of soot on his hands and his cheeks and Buck furrows his brows in concern.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
Buck realised his feelings ran much deeper than friendship a long time ago. He just always had poor timing when it came to working up the courage to tell him. Five times he’s tried to tell Eddie - in the past couple of months. It just never really works out. But these emotions need out. So when Maddie suggests he dig out his dusty guitar from their parent’s attic, he doesn’t think that’s such a bad idea. Until the 118 end up in the same bar he’s performing.
