Summary
“Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree.
And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw:
“I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.”
---
or Buck experiences the unconditional love of a parent for the first time in his life at a five year-old's birthday party.

Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.
----
Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

Summary
Buck cleared his throat. “When can I leave?”
Eddie snorted fondly, and Tommy rolled his eyes. Buck was beginning to really dislike that guy. Why did Eddie even have to drag his–who was he to Eddie, his boyfriend? Why did Eddie’s boyfriend need to be here, anyway?
or:
Buck gets amnesia and cannot stand that man that is always hanging around Eddie.

Summary
“So,” Eddie said, voice light, “what’s good today?”
Buck didn’t even look. He reached beneath the counter, grabbed a small white bag and the to-go cup of juice he had ready before sliding it across to Eddie. “You want the apple turnover. Some orange juice too.”
Eddie blinked. “How’d you—”
“You always glance at both of them but never pick them. Thought I’d make the call for you today. Start your day off with some joy.”
His eyes lingered on Buck. “Always do.”
Or Buck owns a bakery, Eddie gets a little sweet treat every day, and they learn what joy is.

Summary
Raphael’s trying his best not to be nosy, but his eyes land on Eddie’s screen anyway, and he huffs out a quiet laugh. “My wife sends me stuff like that, too. I don’t know where she finds it.”
“If she’s anything like Buck, she’s got the oddity section on AP News bookmarked.”
Eddie’s card makes a soft little beep as he taps it against the machine, and Raphael smiles at him as he tears the receipt off and hands it over. “How long have y’all been together?”
...or, everyone in El Paso has lost their minds.
