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
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.
----
Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

Summary
Eddie keeps messaging. They keep hooking up. Eddie keeps choosing Buck, even though he could easily have anyone he wanted – and Buck knew well the kinds of people who were on Tinder (and Grindr, and Hinge, and what-the-fuck-ever). There are dozens of guys who would sell their mother for a night (an hour, a blow job in a dirty bathroom stall, a hand job on a crowded dancefloor) with Eddie. But Eddie keeps choosing Buck. And each time he does Buck knows it will be worse when Eddie decides he’s had enough.

The one where Buck 1.0 meets Eddie on a dating app.

Summary
There's a part of Eddie that's tempted to do something insane, something that'll absolutely fuck up this Eddie's day, if he's a real person with a real life that Eddie is just borrowing for the time being, and not an elaborate figment of his own subconscious. Something like hopping on a plane to Los Angeles, tracking down whatever version of Buck lives there now, seeing what happens.
He wants to know if Buck would smile at him again, without the weight of history between them. If maybe, in a different world, he'd want Eddie.
Or: in the aftermath of a deadly car accident, Eddie finds himself able to visit other lives he could have lived: other worlds, other possibilities, and maybe - just maybe - a chance to get things right.
