Summary
Eddie points silently to the edge of the bathtub, where a medium-sized cockroach is innocently sitting.
"Oh," Buck says. He drops the knife on the counter and scoops up the cockroach. "Hey, buddy."
"Buck," Eddie gasps in absolute and complete horror. "Don't do that!"
or, three times Buck saves Eddie from a bug.

Summary
It’s fine. It’s a little pain. It barely flares up—frankly, he’s lucky he got off as easy as he did from having a firetruck pressing down its entire weight on his leg. He could’ve—no, should’ve lost his leg. He probably would’ve if they hadn’t gotten the truck lifted when they had.
So, it’s fine. It’s a small flare-up of pain.
Eddie, his unbelievably stubborn boyfriend, does not seem to agree.
“Sit, Buckley,” Eddie instructs, leaving very little room for argument. Unfortunately for Eddie, Buck would argue even if there were absolutely no room for it.
“Eddie, c’mon, I’m just finishing the dishes—”
Suddenly, Eddie is right behind him, large hand landing on the small of his back. Eddie’s shorter than Buck is, but his hands—Jesus Christ, his hands—are bigger, with long, thick fingers that drive Buck crazy with their efficiency and competence. Eddie’s other hand grabs Buck by the chin, tilting his head to the side and down, their eyes locking.
“Buck, that wasn’t a suggestion. Sit your ass down.”
OR
Buck tries ignoring a pain flare-up. Eddie does not let him.

Summary
“Are you finally proposing?” Buck asks, and the air rushes out of Eddie like he’s been punched in the gut, a swift burst.
Hearing it from Buck makes it real, solidified, no longer a shapeless fantasy in his head.
"Proposing what?”
“Marriage, genius.” Buck snorts. “Duh.”
Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.

Summary
"I want to not feel like this. I want to feel normal. I want to feel like I’m not built wrong.”
“You weren’t.”
“What?”
“Built wrong. You weren’t. Eddie, you’re my best friend. You’re the best guy I know.” Buck is being so sincere. Eddie doesn’t know why it feels like a punch to the gut. “Being … different, it’s okay. You’re allowed to be different. I like you how you are.”
Buck understands him so much, but he doesn’t get this. He sees Eddie on a level no one else ever has, but this thing, it’s hidden so deep Buck’s never even gotten the chance to glance at it, let alone know it.
“I don’t,” Eddie answers, hoping Buck doesn’t make him expand, while also hoping desperately that Buck makes him expand.
“What?”
“I don’t like myself how I am.”
“What-what would you change?” Buck is stepping carefully, like they’re surrounded by landmines, but Buck will always push. He knows it’s what Eddie needs, even if it’s what terrifies Eddie most.
Make me say it out loud, something inside of him says, please, God, at least once, make me say this out loud. Let it exist, even just for a second.
TL;DR: Tgirl eddie :)
