    Summary

    “Eddie, be serious. You can’t possibly be okay with this. We’re married. You’re my husband.”

    And that sounds nice, doesn’t it?

    He has a husband.

    “Why wouldn’t I be okay with it?” Eddie asks genuinely. “I’m sure you’ll be a great husband. I mean, you’ve been a great husband so far. We can just keep doing what we’ve been doing, it’ll be fine.”

    “That’s—that’s not—” Buck cuts himself off to point out, “You’re not gay!”

    Well, that’s just—

    “Semantics,” Eddie says casually. “Barely relevant.”

    *

    (Buck and Eddie get married, break up with their partners, and find out they’re husbands. In that order.)

    Summary

    “I ever tell you I used to be a stripper?”

    No, Eddie thought, some hysterical kind of indignation slipping into his mind. No, Buck hadn't told him. And why not? Was he planning to use those skills with the guy who looked like the walking personification of a weed pen? Was he just planning to…

    Eddie got lost in his quickly forming images of Buck.

    As a stripper.

    Stripper Buck.

    Buck stripping.

    Buck naked.

    Straight guys sometimes pictured their friends naked. So normal. Just human nature.

    OR -

    Eddie works out what his joy looks like enough to start making moves on Buck, but does not get far enough to figure out what that means for him. He is also haunted by Chappell Roan.

    Summary

    “It could be worse,” Buck says.

    Eddie is pacing the length of the hotel room. Buck’s hotel room. The one that they shared last night, because they got married. Drunk married. In Vegas. By fucking Elvis. Jesus fucking Christ. If Eddie wasn’t so hungover he’d worry that the splitting in his head was a brain aneurysm.

    How, Buck? How could it possibly be worse?”

    “We could have married strangers?”

     

    (Or, Eddie and Buck get married, move in together, and then fall in love. In that order. Kind of.)

    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

    Buck asks, "Where is your dad?"

    "He's downstairs buying sodas," Christopher replies. He sits down next to Buck and points at the magazine. "Why are you reading Bridal Guide?"

    "Oh." Buck flushes a little. It's not like he can explain: I realized I'm in love with your dad and keep accidentally planning a wedding we're never going to have. "It was this or Golf Digest."
