Summary
Finally, Eddie looks at him. Then at the cans. Then at Buck again. He looks nervous, his throat bobbing around a big swallow, like he’s about to give a speech.
There’s no reason for him to give a speech. They’re in a Costco.
“I think I love you.”
Oh. Well that’s not what Buck was expecting.
He stands there holding six — no, wait, he grabbed more than six, he’s holding at least eight cans of Kirkland Signature crushed tomato at this point. There’s so much tomato.
Buck blinks. Weird timing, he thinks, but he’ll take it. That’s a nice thing to say, that’s — yeah. That’s nice. They’re best friends. That’s — sure. Okay. Weird, but sure.
Buck smiles, moving to pat Eddie on the shoulder before he remembers all the sauce. “Thanks, man. Love you, too.”
“No,” Eddie says.
Buck blinks. Eddie blinks back.
“No, I mean—” Eddie is looking at the shelf, at the floor, at a point on Buck’s chin. “I mean, I think I’m in love with you.”
Buck’s face is hot. His arms are full of cans.
“I don’t think we need this much sauce,” he whispers.
Or,
One Costco trip. One love confession. So many fucking tomatoes.Bookmarked by WeAreInfinite18

Summary
“Can you pass the salt?” Buck asks him in a perfectly civil tone at lunch.
“No,” Eddie says hotly. “You’re not in love with me. Go find your own salt.”
Buck startles so hard his knee jerks up, bumping into the table with a loud thud. Chimney gasps and Hen drops her fork, and Ravi’s staring at the two of them wide–eyed, pasta half shovelled into his mouth.
“I—” Buck says, cheeks pink.“Eddie, pass the fucking salt.”
“Nope,” Eddie says, quite calmly considering the absolute chaos going on inside his head.“Shan’t.”
Buck swears colorfully, scrubbing his palms on his face. “Eddie. Come on, man. Don’t make this more mortifying than it already is.”
“Make what mortifying?” Eddie asks, sipping water. “The fact that you’re not in love with me, or the fact that you’ve been telling all of LA that?”
Buck’s face flames red. “Eddie,” he hisses, scandalised. “Keep your voice down!”
“You certainly weren’t,” Eddie says, sniffing. He twirls the pasta on his fork, staring down at it.
or, buck HOWLS that he is not in love with eddie, and there's a love confession somewhere in there.

Summary
“You’re married.” Eddie blurts out.
“I—yeah, I’m married.”
“You don’t think that’s something I need to know?”
“Well, I—”
“Who?”
“I think we should let your memory answer that for you.”
“Buck.”
“Eddie.”
Eddie rolls his eyes, “Just tell me.”
“You need to try and remember things on your own.”
“And I will, later. Just tell me who you’re married to. You must really love them if you decided to get married in the span of a year.”
“I do love him.” Buck smiles, and it warms Eddie’s heart. Only for a little while because he remembers that Buck’s smile isn’t because of him.
Or
Eddie wakes up in the hospital and is told he’s missing a year of his life. All Eddie knows is that he sees a ring on Buck’s finger and he won’t tell him who he’s married to.

Summary
“Holy shit, Eddie. You weren’t kidding. You have a hot husband,” is the first thing Greta says 30 seconds into Eddie pretending he’s not freaking the fuck out about pretending Buck is his husband at his barber’s lesbian wedding.
He kind of feels like he’s going to puke. This was a bad idea. This was a terrible idea.
Or, a classic case of fake dating at a wedding.

Summary
Alright, so Buck is definitely in love with his best friend. But with a four-year-old running circles around him, remnants of pancake stuffed in his mouth and maple syrup slathered impossibly across his entire face, Buck really doesn't have time to think about that right now.
So he does what every responsible adult with any sort of structure in their life would - he schedules his mental breakdown for a later date. Pulling out his phone, he navigates deftly to his calendar, and eyes a free day a little over a month from now. October 15th, as good a date as any, he supposes. He blocks out a 3 hour time slot with an event titled 'Process the fact that I'm in love with Eddie', and swipes the app away without a second thought.
Or; Buck forgets that his Google calendar is shared with Eddie.

Summary
“I heard you two were expanding your family! Another little one at Durand. We were so excited when we saw the enrollment paperwork.” She clasps her hands together. “Theo is an absolute joy. Let me show you what he’s been working on.”
Expanding your family.
Buck opens his mouth to redirect — it's a reflex, the correction sitting right there on his tongue. This isn’t the first time they’ve been mistaken for more than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together.
It’s right there, polite and practiced: Oh, we’re not actually—
But suddenly Eddie’s hand is on his back. Not his shoulder this time, but lower. A few inches lower than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together would justify.
Eddie’s palm presses flat against the base of Buck’s spine, fingers spread wide like he’s anchoring them both to the same spot.
“Thank you so much,” Eddie says. “We’re really proud of him.”
Or: The totally platonic act of raising not just one, but two kids with your straight best friend.

Summary
If Eddie was (almost) completely honest with himself, he hated the part of the day where he and Chris had to leave Buck's home to go back to their own. He especially hated the part where Theo latched onto him and didn't want to let go. Truthfully Eddie didn't want to let go of the boy who had very quickly wormed his way into Eddie's heart either. Leaving Buck and Theo, even if just for the night, felt like he was walking away from a good chunk of his heart and soul. His very being.
They were his family, too.
Not that he could ever allow himself to think too deeply about what that meant to him. Deep down. He couldn't do that. Not yet. He didn't even really know where to start with thinking about it.
...
Or, Eddie accidentally kisses Buck for about 5 seconds (Chris counted but it didn't really feel like five seconds to Eddie.) Then he thinks a lot about his life and who he actually is instead of who he had been performing as for the sake of his parents and others. Then he runs back to Buck to come out, confess his feelings, and gain a boyfriend (aka, his best friend and the love of his life.) That's it. That's the fic.
Enjoy! I love you all <3 xx

Summary
His mom clears her throat, squinting her eyes at Eddie. “Whose is he? Do you—Do you have a new girlfriend?”
Theo giggles and looks up at her from below. “Eddie doesn’t have a girlfriend! That’s silly!”
Eddie nearly chokes. Silly… Yeah, maybe so. “Uh—No. No girlfriend.”
“Then whose is he, Eddie?” His dad asks.
And with the comedic timing of one of those corny 90s sitcoms, Buck chooses that exact moment to walk out of the kitchen.
Or: Eddie's parents make a surprise visit for Christopher's sixteenth birthday. What they didn't expect was finding a few surprises of their own.
Or: Eddie is convinced the universe hates him when his parents come to visit. With them already believing he and Buck are together, Eddie decides to roll with it.

Summary
Suddenly, Buck drops forward a bit, bumping his head against Eddie's collarbone with a quiet exhale.
"You good, man? What was that?" Eddie asks with a hesitant chuckle.
Buck shrugs. "Just… instinct, I guess." He responds, scratching his neck. "Seemed like the thing to do."
Eddie concedes with a shrug and a short "Alright then." If Buck wants to headbutt him because it feels like the thing to do he won't stop him.
OR: 4 times Buck drops his weight on Eddie without any explanation and 1 time Eddie asks why.

Nancy looks horrified. "Did you swallow any?"
"A little," Eddie admits calmly. "It splashed over my mouth during the burst."
"Oh."
"Oh?" Buck’s brow furrows in pure fury, forcing Eddie to tighten his grip to keep his best friend anchored. "What does 'Oh' mean?!"

Summary
The rules, as far as Eddie was concerned, had never actually been agreed on. They'd just accumulated, the way rules do when two people spend enough time trying to embarrass each other in public.
Rule one: it had to be a real restaurant, not fast food. Nellie's on Fig didn't count because Nellie's didn't have servers, it had a guy who yelled your number.
Rule two: no repeating a venue within six weeks, because the staff needed time to forget.
Rule three, added after the incident at the place on Sunset, was that Eddie was not allowed to cry. Buck could cry. Buck was, annoyingly, an incredible crier, could get his eyes wet on command like some kind of Broadway understudy, and it worked every time. Eddie's face just did something that looked like he was passing a kidney stone, and one waitress had asked if he needed her to call someone.

Summary
Eddie couldn’t have been stabbed at a better time, not that being stabbed was a great experience for him or anyone else involved but it’s given him a lot of free time which Buck was more than happy to cash in on seeing as he’d just taken in Theo and he claimed Eddie owed him thousands of babysitting hours.
So a routine was formed where Buck would drop Theo off on his way into work and they’d have dinner together when he came to pick him back Theo up after the shift and depending on how late things ran into the evening there would be occasions where they’d end up staying over at the Diaz Household for the night.
And with every passing day Eddie felt himself feeling looser than he’d ever felt before, it wasn’t until a Thursday morning two weeks into their arrangement that the reason why finally clicked into place.

Summary
Buck weakly waves his arm. The clutched shirt flaps like a black flag in the non-existent, feeble wind.
“You’re not wearing a shirt.” He sounds almost desperate.
“Neither are you,” Eddie points out.
Beyond reasonable, really, he thinks, though reason doesn’t seem to be standing in this kitchen with them. Reason has run off on an all expenses paid vacation package somewhere far, far away. A land where people keep their clothes on, probably.
Eddie dreams of such a place.
Or: Eddie winds up in a one-man wet T-shirt contest. Buck... spectates.

Summary
Buck can hear raised voices. Chris looks stricken.
“She’s realised that I’m talking to you. Oh she’s really angry. Buck? Can you stick around. And put yourself on mute. I’m just gonna.”
Chris flips the camera so Buck can see the room instead of Chris’ face. Chris opens his bedroom door slightly and holds his phone to the gap. Eddie fills the screen. He’s in a black tank top, similar to the one he was wearing the day Buck met him. His hair is damp. His mouth is curled in irritation. He’s looking across the room, probably at Helena. It dawns on Buck that Eddie and Helena don’t know that Chris is watching, that he is watching.

Summary
He reads the texts again, those blue bubbles stubbornly refusing to blink themselves out of existence. This time, the panic sets in, sending him upright and pacing wildly, pushing his hands through pillow-flattened hair.
“Holy shit."(In which Buck accidentally sends a confession to Eddie, lingers in the bargaining stage of grief, and maybe doesn’t end up regretting it so much, after all.)

Summary
“Whose dads did Theo catch smooching?” Chimney slides into the chair across from them, an easy smile stretching across his face.
Buck chooses that exact moment to appear at the top of the loft stairs, freezing as soon as Chim’s words leave his mouth.
Chimney glances around the group, clearly waiting for a continuation of the station gossip. His grin fades as he slowly takes in the silence, gears turning as he clocks the red staining Eddie’s cheeks and the way Buck’s jaw unhinges itself and hangs slack.
“Oh my fucking god.” He deadpans. “Theo caught you two –”
“No, we weren’t –” Eddie tries, desperately throwing himself in front of the avalanche of lies that is quickly picking up speed and swallowing up everyone in its path.
“Eddie!” Buck interrupts, so shrill and sharp that everyone in the vicinity freezes and stares. “Can I talk to you over here, please?”
Theo mishears Eddie accusing Buck of "mooching" and accidentally sets fire to Eddie's plan to 1) come out and 2) tell Buck that he's in love with him. Miscommunication and a brief fake-dating stint ensue.

Summary
“Buck.” Eddie greets, robotic, trying to put a smile on his face, “My best friend. And fellow firefighter.”
Buck blinks slowly at him, smiles tentatively, “Um, yeah?”
“Nothing.” Eddie says, quickly, “I was saying hello. And now, goodbye,” he rushes to add, turning around to leave.
(Or, after Buck tells Eddie he loves him while sleeptalking, Eddie does his best to act as nonchalant as possible. He fails spectacularly, of course.)
