Summary
“As I’ve said five times now, you are my best friend. In the entire universe, for the rest of time. If you could get best friend married, I’d best friend marry you, okay? Can you please chill out?”
Buck blinks. “You’d best friend marry me?”
Eddie groans. “Are you only hearing every second word I say?”
“We should - - we should do that. That’s - - Eddie, we should do that.”
Or, Buck is jealous. He platonically proposes about it.

Summary
Eddie says, “The brownies are good, Buck. And you didn’t even have to get a hint from someone in your attic this time.”
Buck smiles at him, so at least Eddie can still do one thing right.
That feeling lasts through their next call, and the next, and then it all goes to hell.
It’s a call at a church, which feels a little on the nose. Some kid crawled onto the roof through the bell tower; Buck is harnessed up there and getting the kid down.
Eddie is on the ground. Buck’s foot slips.

Or: Eddie's Abuela left him something in her will that he can’t stop thinking about, and he has a crisis of faith. Grief, love, and what it means when someone sees you a little too clearly.Bookmarked by mortal_fear
