    Summary

    The boyfriend looks at Eddie's arm, looks at Eddie's face, does whatever math drunk people do when they're deciding whether a fight is worth it, and somehow arrives at the correct answer. He grabs maybe-horse-Ashley by the elbow and pulls her away, muttering something about firefighters that Buck doesn't catch because he's too busy trying not to pass out.

    Eddie turns around. His hand is still on Buck's chest.

    "Seriously?" One eyebrow up. Not angry yet, but getting there. "We've been here an hour."

    "He came at me!" Buck throws his hands up. Outraged. Innocent. An absolute victim of circumstance and nothing more. "I was just talking to her."

    "You were practically on top of her."

    "That's just how I talk to people, Eddie. I'm a leaner. It's my thing."

    Eddie stares at him for a second. His hand drops from Buck's chest and he shakes his head, turning back to the bar.

    "Get yourself a drink," Eddie says over his shoulder. "And stay out of trouble for five minutes."

    He makes it roughly eleven minutes before he does something stupid again.

    Or,
    Buck is completely normal about Eddie shoving Blue to defend his honor. Really. He is.

    Summary

    “Do none of you care about the children? It’s a bachelor auction, and you, my friend, are a bachelor. Abracadabra, put your name on the list.”

    “I can’t,” Eddie repeats. He can’t. He cannot. “I’m not.”

    “You’re not? Since when?” Chimney frowns. “Who?”

    It’s not Eddie’s fault that, at that exact moment, Buck walks in. So it’s not his fault that he opens his mouth and says, “Buck.”

     

    Or, Eddie trips and falls into a lightly fraudulent HR-disclosed "consensual romantic relationship" with his best friend. Really, if you think about it, it's a win-win.

    Summary

    In the seat Maddie was previously in, Eddie’s talking quietly to her brother, their heads bent close over the fire. She can’t really hear what he’s saying over the wind, only catching snippets of gentle syllables. Settled on Buck’s back, Eddie’s hand swipes absently up and down his spine, deft fingers smoothing out the creases of Buck’s robe. He murmurs something, laughing around the words, and Maddie watches as Buck’s cheeks dimple, a small smile tugging his lips upwards. 

    Swallowing, Maddie clears her throat quietly, crossing the last few paces up to them.

    “Hi, you two,” she says, carefully walking around the fire to sit on Buck’s other side.

    Buck smiles at her, eyes slow-blinking and droopy. His knee pushes into Eddie’s as he shifts in his place, pulling his sleeves further over his hands.

    “Hey, Maddie,” Eddie says, face rosy in the dusky light. “You okay?”

    Summary

    "You're really just gonna sit there and act like it didn't happen," he mutters.

    Eddie looks up at him, a small fond smile on his face that's reserved only for Buck.

    "I'm going to marry you someday," Eddie murmurs. "Do you want French toast?"

    Buck nearly chokes on his coffee. There was no way he heard that correctly…right?

    "Uh," he splutters. "What did you just say?"

    "Do you want French toast?"

    "Before that," Buck clarifies.

    "Oh." Eddie's smile only grows wider. "I'm going to marry you someday."

    or: Buck and Eddie share a bed, a kiss, and a pancake. In that order.
