Summary
Six months since Theo was placed with Buck, everyone at the station already acts like Buck and Eddie are married.
Shared calendars. Matching emergency contacts. Family dinners.
Buck laughs it off, until Ravi casually asks:
“So when did you know you were in love with Eddie?”
And Buck doesn’t have an answer.
Because the worst part is he genuinely doesn’t know when it happened. Only that it already has.

Summary
Buck lets the call go to voicemail the first time. Unknown number.
He tells himself it’s probably spam or a wrong number, or something he doesn’t have the energy for after a double shift.
The second time, it comes through while he’s standing in Eddie’s kitchen.
Buck declines the call. Again. Eddie notices, of course he does.
“You gonna get that?”
“Nah” Buck says too quickly, already reaching for the olive oil. “Not important”.
The phone buzzes again. A voicemail now sitting in Buck’s inbox. Buck doesn’t listen to it, why would he? The only people who need him are; Maddie who he spoke to earlier that day or Eddie and he’s with him.
It’s not until later that night, when he’s alone, that Buck checks his voicemail.
“Hi, this is Dierdre from Social Services, I’m calling about….”
OR
Buck has been contacted by Social Services. Buck tries to handle it alone - convinced it’s not his place. But when things escalate and Theo’s future becomes uncertain, Eddie refuses to stay on the sidelines, stepping in with a quiet unwavering certainty that shakes Buck more than the situation itself.
