Summary
“What can I get you?” Buck asks, wiping a spill on the counter, before flicking the rag back into the sink.
When there’s no immediate answer, he glances up, and finds himself staring straight into a pair of big brown eyes that look equal parts startled and lost.
Or; Buck’s a bartender at a gay bar, and Eddie’s recently out and blushes far too easily.
Buck makes him a drink that matches the pretty pink colour of his cheeks.

Summary
When Eddie learns he and Buck got drunk-married at Chimney’s bachelor party, he goes on a metaphorical journey to figure out the best way to be a good husband.
“Now you get it. Damage done. We didn’t know,” Buck shrugs, “now we do, so we can just …”
Eddie’s mind races to finish Buck’s sentence:
Park our cars side-by-side in my driveway forever.
Hang all our clothes in the same closet so I have better access to that blue hoodie I love.
Kiss.
“… get an annulment.”
“What?” The word slips out of Eddie’s mouth before he can stop it.
Buck frowns.
“You want to …” Eddie drops his fork to his plate. He’s suddenly not hungry, despite how much he loves Buck’s omelets. His voice wobbles when he adds, “You don’t want to be married to me?”Bookmarked by digitmrspock

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

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."

Summary
He’d shoved the envelope into his pocket, fingers tightening around it like holding it too carefully might make it more real. Around him, everyone else slipped out quietly, one by one, each of them clearly ready or at least willing to face whatever Bobby had left behind for them.
But Eddie stayed seated, and he was the last to leave.
Not because he needed more time, but because he already knew he didn’t want to read it.
He couldn’t read it.
Or; After Bobby’s death, everyone at the 118 receives a letter he wrote before he passed. Eddie gets his and overwhelmed by guilt and grief, he doesn’t open it right away. Instead, he spirals, goes out, drinks too much, hooks up with a guy, and loses the letter.
