Summary
“I have to go to a wedding,” he says, voice tight. Eddie’s eyebrows scrunch in confusion. That’s it?
“You love weddings.”
“Not this one. It’s in Pennsylvania. With my mom and dad. For a whole week,” he says, frustration evident in his tone.
Well that makes a lot more sense. Buck at home for a whole week? Brutal.
“Maddie, Chim and Jee are going, right?” Eddie asks.
Buck nods jerkily. “Mmhm. They are. I-It’s just that my parents are expecting me to bring someone and when I don’t, because who the fuck would I ask to suffer for a week for me, they’re going to make comments about how I am going to be alone forever and it-it’s just already on my nerves and I still have nearly three weeks before I even have to go,” he rushes out, abandoning his coffee on the table as he paces back and forth in the kitchen.
“I’ll come with you,” Eddie offers. He blinks – he hadn’t exactly thought that one through, but he doesn’t regret it, doesn’t want to take it back. Buck freezes where he’s at, body still as a statue as his head whips to look at Eddie.

Summary
Eddie looks back and forth between Buck and the girl, staring skeptically at one another— like they’re looking in a funhouse mirror.
The girl opens her mouth to say something but shuts it, eyes widening. She gulps.
Oh god.
Oh god, Eddie thinks, as he watches Buck and this teenager form their differing features into the same expression.
“Uh, hi. Are you Evan Buckley?” she asks finally. She seems to know the answer, but Buck nods slowly. “Well, my name is Quinn Buckley.”
Any remaining sound in the room is sucked out, and they’re left in a vacuum. Everyone is frozen.
“I’m your daughter.”
Buck, Eddie, and Chris have almost found their status quo, when the arrival of a surprise daughter shakes things up.

Summary
After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.
A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.
“I want to know everything.”
It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.
“I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.
I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—
Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.
—the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.
I wish you’d let me know you.”
Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

Summary
“Hey,” Buck says, reaching out to grab Eddie's hand. “How do you feel about red carpets?”
“Tacky in a bedroom, decent in a living room,” Eddie deadpans, because he likes to think he’s funny.
or: Buck's still a zoologist. Eddie's definitely in love.
