Summary
A cup of coffee hits the table with a gentle thunk, snapping Eddie out of his thoughts.
"Ravi's right," Buck admits softly, sitting down across from him with his own cup of coffee. "I'm usually the one bringing in strays." He tilts his head to the side, leaning forward, like he would if Eddie were a scared little kid they'd found on a call. "You doing okay?"
Eddie starts to reach forward for the cup of coffee but pulls back, running his hands through his hair instead. "Yeah, Buck," he starts, like a liar, "I'm fine."

Summary
"By nine," Buck sighs, starting to fidget. "I know."
"So you'll start to soak the—"
Buck's beer bottle hits the table with a sharp clank.
"God! Yes! I'll soak the damn cake. Between chauffeuring your son and baking for my niece and listening to my brother-in-law gripe about all of his paperwork, which he only has because the guy who used to do it died, Christ," Buck's voice is sharp, dismissive—
And catches Eddie completely by surprise.

Summary
“Are you kidding me?” Tommy interrupts. “You’re both going to sit there and ignore me after whatever the hell that was?”
“Well, you were doing such a good job with all the ignoring you were doing earlier that I just had to give it a go myself,” Eddie says snarkily. “How’d I do?”
Tommy sputters.
“You tell him, bro!” a voice calls out from a few rows back, and Buck snorts out a laugh.
It draws Tommy’s attention, unfortunately.
“You think this is funny?” Tommy asks, towering over them both. “Cheating on me right in front of my face?"
"Does it really count as cheating?" the woman beside Eddie mutters, looking away hastily when Tommy glares at her.

(Buck's soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend chooses to ignore him every time the kiss cam points in their direction. Eddie does the opposite.)

Summary
Eddie says, “The brownies are good, Buck. And you didn’t even have to get a hint from someone in your attic this time.”
Buck smiles at him, so at least Eddie can still do one thing right.
That feeling lasts through their next call, and the next, and then it all goes to hell.
It’s a call at a church, which feels a little on the nose. Some kid crawled onto the roof through the bell tower; Buck is harnessed up there and getting the kid down.
Eddie is on the ground. Buck’s foot slips.

Summary
Buck sits up, and pushes away the shyness that creeps in, when he goes to take his socks off. Reveals his toes, and the lavender polish that’s covering each nail. His heart swells when he sees them.
He chances a glance at Eddie, and his smile is something fond, and Buck’s not exactly sure what he was hoping for, but this at least isn’t bad.
Eddie looks up at him, cradles his face, and says, “Very pretty, baby.”
Or: Buck gets his toes done, and feels something new because of it. Things go from there.

Summary
After a pause, Eddie asked, “You ever think about just… keeping it going?”
Buck blinked. “What, like living together forever?”
A snort filled the air, and Eddie looked half amused and half serious. “I dunno, maybe? Something like that. I mean, look, it’s a new year, right? Anything could happen. But neither of us wanna be alone forever. So, maybe if we’re both still single in a year or whatever, we could just—” he waved a hand vaguely, like he was lassoing the future— ”make it official.”
“Official?” he echoed, head even fuzzier now.
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “Yeah, we could just get married, or something close enough to it."
Buck’s heart tripped over itself.
On New Year's Eve, Buck and Eddie made a drunken pact: if they were both still single in a year, they'd marry each other. They didn't mean to start sabotaging the other's love life to make it happen, but somewhere along the way, that's exactly what they ended up doing.
Now the only question is... how far are they willing to take it?
