Summary
Buck looks at Eddie, and Eddie takes a breath. *Here goes nothing.* "What if Chris and I moved in here? What if we presented ourselves to social services as a couple? Like, romantically involved, committed to each other. It would show them we're a stable household with two parents. It would give Theo the dual household they're looking for without taking him away from you."
Buck's eyes widen, and for a moment he just stares at Eddie like he's lost his mind. "Eddie—no. No, that's—that's insane."
*I knew he'd say that.*
"Hear me out," Eddie says quickly, but Buck is already shaking his head."Hear you out? Eddie, you're talking about *lying* to social services. About pretending to be in a relationship. About—" Buck's voice cracks. "About moving in together. Do you understand how crazy that sounds?"
*It's not that crazy. Is it?*
Chris watches them, his eyes tracking between his dad and Buck like he's watching a tennis match. Except it's not a tennis match—it's two people who are so stupidly in love with each other that they can't even see it.
