    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

    Summary

    “Did you ever go to Hershey?”

    “What?” Eddie asked, thrown. “Why would I go to Hershey without you?” he asked, picking up a dish towel and drying off the plates in in the drying rack.

    “When you were younger, I mean,” Buck clarified. “For your ballroom dancing.”

    “I think I would—” Eddie paused on his way to grab a new plate, thinking. He met Buck’s face with an equally confused expression and said, “actually, now that you’re saying it . . . yeah.” He looked surprised by his own answer. “Yeah, Tara and I went our junior year. Damn, I can’t believe I forgot about that.”

    “I think we met.”

    ----

    In 2008, an unlikely interaction occurred; in 2025, Buck remembers.

    Right?

    Summary

    “Okay, that’s it. I’m calling 9-1-1.”

    “You’re a medic, Eddie!” Buck practically yelled, eyes widening. “We’ve both dealt with dislocated shoulders before, just—mmh—immobilize it and drive me to the ER yourself!”

    But Eddie had already reached for his phone and dialed the number.

    “I’m going to kill you,” Buck muttered, a threat that would’ve been much more convincing if his entire arm wasn’t out of commission. Instead, it was actually kind of endearing. Buck sighed, resigned to his fate. “Now I have blue balls and a dislocated shoulder,” he said forlornly.

    Or, 5 times the 118 responds to sex-related calls and the 1 time Buck and Eddie have an accident of their own.
