Summary
“I’m mortified, Eddie, I really thought Buck would have talked to you about it,” Maddie says. She looks genuinely regretful, her eyebrows pulling together with concern. “Obviously, he clarified things for me, told me that he wasn’t pining for his straight best friend, and I’m just…I’m so sorry. It wasn’t my place to speculate on your relationship like that.”
There must be a worm that’s wrapped itself around his thoughts — that’s constrained his neural pathways to just the thought of Buck’s in love with you — because something takes over Eddie’s mouth. Something entirely foreign and jarring prompts him to say with too much incredulity: “Buck said he wasn’t in love with me?”
Maddie gapes at him.
Eddie snaps his mouth shut with so much force his teeth click.
or: Maddie tells Eddie about the conversation she had with Buck. Eddie spirals about it.

Summary
“Chim just– told you to stay,” Buck says. “And you are. You’re staying. I don’t get it, Eddie. How could it have been so– easy?”
Something unreadable flickers across Eddie’s face, but it’s gone before Buck can identity it. “You never asked me to stay.”
A flare of bright hot anger sparks in Buck's chest. “I— I wanted you to choose something for yourself.”
“You could have asked.”

Summary
Eddie—gulps, looking at him, because Buck doesn’t—he doesn’t look bothered, but he doesn’t look like he’s going to get up and finish the job, either. They’re at a standstill. The air in the room feels less like pops of static and more like a heavy cover of humidity. Their eyes won’t meet.
“Uh,” Eddie manages, pointing to the door. Buck’s eyes are still somewhere past Eddie. “We should get back out there, huh?”
“Yeah,” Buck says.
…or, Buck and Eddie almost kiss. Things go about as well as you would expect them to go.

Summary
“I just thought since your Bobby taught you, maybe you could teach me,” Chris shrugs.
“Yeah,” Buck breathes. “Yeah, I’d love to do that.”
Chris nods once, happy with the answer. “Can we do mac n cheese next?”
“Uh uh uh!” Buck tuts. “There’s a system. We start with breakfast.”Or, Buck passes Bobby's recipes down to Chris and finds a whole lot of other things in the process.

Summary
“All these years, I tried to,” she says, pausing to inhale. “Set you up, and I didn’t know.”
Eddie’s stomach turns. His eyes are on the road like someone’s glued them open—he’s not blinking, and he grips the wheel a little tighter. “Didn’t, uh. Didn’t know what?”
“Aye, mi Mundo. That your heart already belonged to someone.”
...or, Eddie stops running.
