    Summary

    Buck is a giant pain in Eddie’s ass. He struts around the gym like he owns the fucking place (Eddie’s pretty sure that his name is on the business license and mortgage, not Buck’s), takes obnoxious selfies after every set he does with the weights, and has these cheap shitty earphones that blast his music loud enough for everyone around him to hear. Eddie had to threaten to ban him to get him to stop filming his workouts and write a new policy banning live streaming within the gym when Buck fought him on it.

    or

    The one where Eddie owns a gym, is a petty bitch, Buck is a brat, and they find a way to work it out.

    Summary


    Eddie shrugs, goes back to chopping cilantro. “I guess I didn’t think you were that serious about moving out right now. I kinda figured you’d just…”

     

    “Stay?” Buck says, his voice suddenly so quiet Eddie’s not sure he really heard it at all.

     

    He looks over his shoulder at Buck who has a distant sort of look on his face. “Yeah. I mean. Chris and I make pretty good roommates, don’t we?”

     

    Eddie finds a way to make Buck stay.

    Summary

    “They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”

    “So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”

    “A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”

    “And I am—”

    “The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

    ----

    Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.

    “What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.

    “I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”

    “You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”

    “I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn't make this moment hurt any less.

     

    ---

    Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.
