    Summary

    After Buck comes out to the team, Chimney notices Eddie getting distant. He assumes the worst and his protective older brother instincts kick in.

    --

    “You did hook up with him?” Hen asks, shocked, “Really thought he was out of your league.”

    “Well, we slept together. Twice.” Buck laughs, oblivious to Eddie’s frown.

    But Chimney notices. Even drunk, he can see the moment Eddie’s easy smile turned into a frown, the second Buck took a sip.

    Strange. Eddie never seemed to have a problem with Hen being lesbian, so it can’t be that, right? But the timing is just… Does Eddie have a problem with Buck liking men?

    Summary

    Buck’s first mistake was coming to the bar.

    Actually, scratch that—his first mistake was falling hopelessly in love with his best friend, but he’s not sure he could’ve prevented that one.

    But the bar—that he could have avoided. And the first shot of tequila. And the second, and third, and fourth.

    His seventh mistake was watching Eddie get hit-on by a dead ringer for Chris Evans.

    His eighth—and arguably most egregious—mistake was talking to Chimney.

     

    Or, Buck tells Chimney a secret. This proves to be a mistake.

    Summary

    The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.

    Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)

    And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)

    It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
    --
    Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.

    It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.

    Summary

    “They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”

    “So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”

    “A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”

    “And I am—”

    “The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

    ----

    Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.

    Summary

    “Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”

    Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.

    “That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

    -

    or, everyone knows eddie is dating buck except for eddie, literally.
