Summary
He pauses, studying Buck carefully out of the corner of his eye. “Could I be real with you and you promise not to take it the wrong way?”
Buck frowns slightly. “Sure?”
“You kinda sound like you love him.”
“Who, Eddie? Well yeah, of course I love him. He’s my best friend.” Duh.
“No, I mean, like, you’re in love with him.”
Buck chokes on his drink.
or, Buck's side of "if i'm not by your side, are you still on mine?"

Summary
“So…there’s nothing going on there?” Eddie is biting his lip. He knows he’s the one avoiding looking at the camera now. A familiar pit is growing in his stomach that he can recognize as ugly, hot jealousy which isn’t even tempered by the relief he feels from Buck deliberately choosing not to share a bed with the man.
“Me and Miguel? No way.” Buck laughs loudly, like the idea is ludicrous. Eddie doesn’t get what’s so funny. “Miguel’s straight as a board.”
So was I, Eddie’s mind unpleasantly supplies. Until I wasn’t.or, Eddie has an inconvenient realization 800 miles away from Buck and is stuck spiraling after the new guy at the 118 seems to be replacing him in more ways than one.

Summary
Eddie shrugs, goes back to chopping cilantro. “I guess I didn’t think you were that serious about moving out right now. I kinda figured you’d just…”“Stay?” Buck says, his voice suddenly so quiet Eddie’s not sure he really heard it at all.
He looks over his shoulder at Buck who has a distant sort of look on his face. “Yeah. I mean. Chris and I make pretty good roommates, don’t we?”
Eddie finds a way to make Buck stay.

Summary
“Seriously, the second I get back, you’re the one running off?” Eddie asks as he steps up to Buck. Their shoulders bumps together and Buck does his best not to flinch, from the words or the sudden contact. He’s unused to having Eddie around. The months of distance seems to have overwritten the years of familiarity. “You couldn’t have given me a settling in period?”
Buck should joke back. That’s what he does, matched Eddie, because the two of them have been in sync for years. He can’t though, because Buck has been knocked off the track, spiraling out of Eddie’s gravitational pull, and he’s not sure how to get back on. If he even wants to get back on.
Buck transfers out of the 118, gets a new apartment, and tries to pretend he isn't in love with his best friend.
