    Summary

    “She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”

    Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.

    “Say something,” Buck instructed.

    “What?”

    “Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?

    Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.

    “Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”

    Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.

    Summary

    He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.

    The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.

    He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.

    These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.

    The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.

    or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.
