Summary
Buck liked the guitar, liked the quiet moments where he would strum and pluck and pick, his brain focused on the movements and progressions. It was something he did for himself, in moments where he needed to feel centred, grounded.
Connected.
It wasn’t a secret, necessarily, it just wasn’t something that he brought up in casual conversation. He was sure he had left the case out a time or two while others were around, though no one commented.
-
Or; Buck learned to play guitar in Montana, and goes to open mike nights to sing about his feelings.

Summary
Buck greeted people with a peck to the cheek or to the temple, and would say goodbye in the same way. He would give exaggerated kisses to Ravi and Chim, mostly to annoy them, but would get a pleased little smile afterwards. He’d kiss Chris’s forehead before bed, and while the teenager would complain loudly, Eddie saw the fondness there too.
For weeks, the 118 and their families were the recipients of Buck’s kisses, his affection easy and open. And Eddie would watch, at first with a dopey smile at his best friend being his ridiculous, loveable self. Buck looked so happy and free like that; how could Eddie not feel sappy about it.
-
Or; Buck gives easy affection to the members of the 118, and Eddie has feelings about it.

Summary
“Uncle Buck can’t talk, princess. He lost his voice.”
Her eyes widened, and she looked at Buck with seriousness. “Are you like the lil mermaid? Did someone take it?”
Buck looked at Chim for clarification, but was getting none. Instead, Jee took off running to her room and came back after a minute or two, tablet in her hand. She made herself comfortable in Buck’s lap and found the cartoon version of The Little Mermaid.
“I’ll show you.” Her smile was infectious, and Buck willingly and gladly would take this bonding time with his niece.

Or; Buck loses his voice and is compared to Ariel. Chimney tries to help in the worst way imaginable.

Summary
Buck wasn’t an idiot. He knew he held Eddie in a different regard, knew that the man had driven away with his heart when he left for El Paso. But he knew that aimlessly pining after him was going to hurt a lot more than trying to move on.
Maybe trying to move on with Tommy again wasn’t the best strategy, and was entirely unplanned, but at least it was a step in the right direction.
He wasn’t expecting to hear from Eddie, knowing that he had driven later into the night than normal and would be sleeping it off, so he was surprised by the FaceTime chime going off. Still, he wiped his hands on his apron before answering, propping the phone against the KitchenAid.
“Hey Eds,” he greeted, going back to kneading dough. “What’s up?”
“Are you baking?” Eddie asked, an eyebrow raised and mouth quirked.

Or: Buck drives 800 miles to confess that he’s in love with Eddie.

Summary
It’s a cruel, twisted joke from the universe, really, but it’s just the way it is. Everyone’s born with a date on their ribs — they call it their Mark Day (cute) — and on that day, it’s actually very simple, the destined love of your life and the other half of your soul ceases to join you in the land of the living. Fun, right?
No, Eddie doesn’t think so either. But that’s probably because today is his Mark Day, and most people are a bit crabby on their Mark Day. We try not to hold it against them.
Or, Eddie's soulmate is going to die today, and that's fine, really. He's never met her. It's just a cruel coincidence that Buck is struck by lightning on today of all days.
