Summary
Bobby's aware that it's entirely normal for best friends to spend a lot of time together. He's just not sure that's what's going on here.
As Buck and Eddie's friendship progresses and teeters on the border of something altogether different, the rest of the 911 and friends look on in despair. Can two fully grown men really be so oblivious?
A series of linked and progressive one-shots.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
There's another silence, a brief one. Eddie's stomach swoops like he's in freefall. Then Buck says, even lower, "What would you do? If you were here?"
Eddie breathes in, sharp. He feels like he's standing on the edge of a cliff, the sheer drop as inviting as it is terrifying. L'appel du vide, the call of the void. There have been studies on it; he's pretty sure Buck is the one who told him that. The urge, in a high place, to jump.

Summary
Eddie Diaz would like to say that the 118 needs a more involved HR department, or maybe he just needs friends who do less meddling
_____
"Eddie," Buck says seriously, once he's done hiccuping through his giggles, one stray hand resting on Eddie's knee, "I hate to break this to you, but you have a son. That can't be true."
"Exactly!" Hen's own drink sloshes dangerously towards the rim as she pointed it at Eddie. "If you couldn't have sex, then you wouldn't have a kid." She gasps. "Wait, you're from Texas! Maybe you don't know that!"
"It's a serious problem," Chimney confirms solemnly. "Poor little kids from Texas, all thinking that babies come from storks."

Summary
Winning streaks aren't real, and neither are losing streaks. It's all just a glitch of the human brain, finding patterns where there are none. Eddie, dedicated skeptic that he is, would definitely tell him that in the same fondly condescending tone he uses to explain to Buck that jinxes and hexes aren't real, seriously, cursed bracelets and q-word shifts from hell notwithstanding.
He wonders sometimes if Eddie has changed his tune on that now, but he's definitely not going to ask him. There's a Christopher-shaped hole in their conversations these days, and the edges are still sharp. And Buck doesn't want to know if this has finally made Eddie come around to the idea that maybe he's cursed.

Or: after Bobby and Chris leave, Buck breaks up with his boyfriend, tries not to punch his new boss, and worries about Eddie.
