Summary
The first night sleeping alone again Eddie’s skin is crawling. He tosses, he turns, he flips his pillow, he gets up to pour a glass of water, he checks on Chris, he scrolls on his phone at the most recent reels Buck has sent, he counts sheep.
He doesn’t sleep.or
Buck moves out. Eddie can't sleep without him.

Summary
“Are you upset that we came back, or something? I told you that we’d find a different place if you—”
“Stop, Eddie. No, of course not. That’s not the—it’s fine. Really.” Buck pulled in a deep breath, shaking his head. “It’s time for me to find my own place. It’s a good thing.” He leaned forward to grab their beers from the coffee table, passing Eddie his. “Sorry for snapping at you. It’s just been a long day.”
Eddie nodded, swallowing hard, the animal in his chest retreating a little. “Yeah. Me too.”
“Anyway, I’ve got a promising tour tomorrow,” Buck continued, voice carefully neutral. “A friend of Maddie’s from nursing school has a brother who’s moving out, so. We’ll see. He’s about our age, elementary teacher or something, so the place can’t be that expensive.” Buck shrugged. “Got a pretty good feeling about it.”
“That’s good,” Eddie said, though the next sip of his beer tasted bitter on his tongue.or, post 8x18, buck finds a boyfriend, an apartment, and eddie loses his mind about it

Summary
“I’d know if I was in love with Eddie” Buck said as soon as Maddie opened the door.
She stood and blinked at him for a moment before sighing. “Hi Buck” she said, “I’m great, thanks for asking. Why don’t you come in?”
“Sorry” Buck said, “but seriously, Mads, I’d know, wouldn’t I?"

After a series of facetimes, as well as conversations with family and friends, Buck realises he just might be in love with Eddie after all.

Summary
“I love Eddie like he’s my – my brother,” Buck tries, both hands out for emphasis, decidedly ignoring the unsettled feeling between his ribcage at the statement. It’s fine.
“You love Eddie the same way that you love me?” Maddie asks, and well, shit.

Summary
He’d kissed Buck. The thought had plagued him so much in El Paso, he just got so caught up in everything, he'd forgotten for a second that—
“Fuck. We… uh.” Eddie swallows hard around the lump in his throat, jaw working as he lifts his gaze to Buck. Buck’s staring off into the distance, eyes wide, mouth open, solid as a statue.“...We don't do that yet.” Eddie croaks.
Buck seems to come back to himself a little, and his eyes snap to Eddie’s. They're intense.
“No,” Buck replies, a flush on his face, “No, we don't.”
or: five times eddie forgets that he and buck aren't a couple (and the one time they actually are)
