Summary
Really, Eddie doesn’t care that the PTA aren’t his biggest fan. He knows he misses too many meetings, and it’s not like he’s best friends with any of the other parents. It doesn’t affect Christopher, so it doesn’t bother him. He’ll pay for the annual fundraising mugs and consider his duty done.
But then Buck picks Christopher up from a class trip and it all goes to hell.
Like, of course Buck is everyone’s dream guy. He’s responsible with kids, and kind, and funny and interesting and hot to touch. That’s obvious. But now Eddie’s fighting to keep the PTA moms, teachers, and dads, all off an unsuspecting and tempting Buck.
Because Eddie is a good friend. Right?

"You’re acting like you’re not going to have to miss me,” Buck says, pressing the bruise. “Like I’ll be able to come over whenever I want, crash at your place when I get too tired, like you’re not leaving the timezone.”
“Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”
“This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”

In which Eddie is delusional, Buck is defeated, and they are both handling the move well.

May glances up at him, raising an eyebrow. “Yes?”
He drops the fork, leans back in the booth, and stares at her—can feel how wide his eyes are, how tense his jaw is; the thrum of anxiety racing through his limbs and tip-tapping and shaking every surface he’s touching. He can’t stop it, though. He can’t stop it because—
He leans forward, grabbing the fork and spearing through a particularly fluffy glob of scrambled egg. “Eddie kissed me last night,” he says, quietly, carefully—it feels a bit like it’s being pulled from him, like if he doesn’t say it right here, right now, he might actually explode, but he doesn’t know how to say it, because it doesn’t make sense.
It doesn’t make sense.
And this--May’s the only one who can help him make it make sense.
--
Or Buck highjacks his and May's weekly breakfast.

Summary
He saw what Tommy must have seen, Buck who was so obviously jealous of them. Buck who always defaulted to Eddie’s side. Buck who asked Tommy to move in despite wanting Eddie to go to the stupid basketball game with him a few hours earlier.
My attention?
You can take Eddie if you want.
I’m not your last.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh no.
Oh fuck.

Summary
“Eddie? What’s wrong? There’s no way I missed something, look, we went over everything thrice—”
Oh, god, Buck has retrieved his clipboard from wherever in Eddie’s house he’d stashed it last time. He’s waving it around as he speaks.
“Information about my spouse,” Eddie says blankly.
Buck looks confused. He flips through the pages on his clipboard. “No, look, we definitely-”
“Not Shannon,” Eddie interrupts. “My current spouse.”
Buck, understandably, looks even more confused. Then he seems to actually comprehend what Eddie is saying, and he shoots him a devastated look. “You’re- you’re married? When? To whom?”
“I… I didn’t know I was married. I don’t. I don’t think I am? But they seem to think I am. And they think…” Eddie pauses. Wets his lips. “I think… I think they think I’m married to you.”
Buck and Eddie get married the night of Chimney's bachelor party. Buck and Eddie do not know they got married the night of Chimney's birthday party. At least, they don't until months later, when Chris' new school asks Eddie for documentation of his spouse: one Mr. Buck Diaz.
