Summary
“Hey man,” Eddie says, sliding into the seat next to Buck and pulling him out of his thoughts. “You good? You’ve been staring at that wall for a while now.”
Buck blinks as he raises his head, caught off guard by Eddie’s concern. Part of him wants to snap at Eddie—tell him to go ask Hen, since they’re so close now. Buck’s jealousy has always had teeth; a beast he doesn’t always know how to control, or how to keep from snapping its jaws at people.
But right now, it’s overshadowed by the excitement of Eddie looking at him; seeing him. There’s a warmth spreading through his chest, one he hasn’t felt in a little while, and all he can think is more, more, more and look at me, look at me, look at me.
Keep looking at me. Look at me forever, because when no one looks at me, I feel like a ghost.
Or: Buck doesn't know how to handle the way everything is changing and it makes him fall back into old habits.

Summary
Eddie lets himself break a little, now that the only thing that can keep him upright is here, breathing heavy against his neck. His stomach coils tight, and the heat from Buck warms Eddie up from the inside out. His arms comes around to Buck's shoulders, and he tugs him a little closer.
When he huffs a breath out against the top of Buck's shoulder, it comes out choked, and Buck whispers something against his neck before he repeats it, louder.
"Hey, it's okay. We're gonna find him."
Buck separates them, still holding both of his arms in a death grip, and Eddie looks into his eyes, seeing the fierce conviction behind them before he says it again.
"We're going to find him."
Eddie has to believe that. For himself. For his son.
And for Buck.
____________________________Or, Chris gets kidnapped. Eddie and Buck fight against the odds and themselves to find him.

Summary
Mi media naranja. Half an orange, right? Like—two sides of the same coin, or something. A complementary coupla guys. A little silly, maybe, referring to a grown adult as a piece of fruit, but the sentiment is sweet enough.
“Hey,” Buck asks the girl beside him. “Um, Alba. She called Rosie ‘mi media naranja’. Like—half an orange? Is that a common saying in Mexico?”
“Oh, sure,” she nods. “It’s a pretty normal term of endearment. Cheesy as hell, but, well.” She gestures at where Eddie and the two women are sitting. Alba’s holding Rosie’s hand now. “When you’ve known each other that long and fit together that well… it’s just sweet.”
My most best friend. That’s what Alba said. That’s—well, that’s who Eddie is to him, essentially. And if what Eddie’s missing is a little affection in a language that feels like home, well. Buck can give that to him.
or, buck notices the lack of spanish terms of endearment in eddie’s life since his abuela died. so, he’s armed with what he’s been reliably informed is a totally normal thing to call your buddy. Operation Make My Best Friend Feel Cherished, as he’s named it on a trial basis in the privacy of his own head, is a-go

Summary
Eddie thought wearing a bulletproof vest would protect him.
It’s designed to cover his chest, to prevent any real damage from happening to him. It completely shelters his heart, so no bullet can penetrate such a vital organ and shatter it into pieces.
At least, it’s supposed to.
It doesn’t.
A sharp crack, a violent whizzing sound, and suddenly Eddie’s ears are ringing.
Time seems to slow down around him as he staggers backwards, almost as if he’s been shoved back by an unseen force.
or; The 118 respond to the hostage situation at the grocery store, but this time someone gets hurt.

Summary
“It just—when we were at the club. You made it seem like maybe, there’s a reason you’re not dating… women.”
Eddie freezes. Ravi had said it the other night, but Eddie had not been expecting him to so boldly repeat it after the previous unfavorable reaction.
“And—I—I know that sometimes reasons for not dating women can be… um, you know, hard to process. Alone.”
Oh good lord, he’s really going there.

Summary
That would be the pattern. That would be the smart choice, statistically, intuitively. It was his pattern, after all. But once again, he just couldn’t call a spade a spade, not when his heart was saying, well, “Hearts.”
Eddie leaned back a bit, a brief look of surprise in his eyes, before shaking it off entirely.
“Switching it up, Buckley?” He chuckled, bending the card upward so only he could peak. A smile crept across his face, though it looked as if Eddie was biting it back. He held the card fully in his hand now, still shielded from Buck’s view, and stared at it with an unfamiliar emotion taking shape along the line of his jaw. Finally, rather than setting it on the table, he placed the card into Buck’s hand, Eddie’s fingers pressing gently against his palm.
More weight. Buck sucked in a breath, pushing ever so slightly into Eddie’s touch. His thumb finally grabbed onto the card now in his hand, as he finally looked down.
A king of hearts.
OR-
Buck follows the pattern. And despite months of Buck's distance and avoidance, he finds that it always leads back to Eddie.Bookmarked by itsetta

Summary
“Eddie, you can’t just give up.”
“I’m not giving up.”
Buck turns and points an accusing carrot at him. “You are. You’re doing that self-punishment thing where you think that because you messed up before you don’t deserve to try again. Which is stupid.”
“Every relationship I’ve ever had has been a disaster,” Eddie says, sounding angry, but not at Buck. “I never do any of it right. I’ve never done a single part of it right.”
“Eds, I know it feels that way, but when you find the right girlfri-”
“I don't want another girlfriend Buck!” Eddie yells.
Or
Buck remains determined to find Eddie the love of his life.
Eddie already has, he's just coming to terms with it.

Summary
For a moment, Eddie is quiet.
He stares. Blinks. Stares some more, his mouth opening and closing around nothing.
And then all at once, he zeroes in on the photo collage across the room, and his body goes completely still.
They’re all couples. Happy, blissful, newly married couples, still in their suits and long white dresses, holding each other close beneath the familiar branches of a willow tree. The same branches billowing in the wind outside Eddie’s bedroom window.
A wedding venue. He woke up in a wedding venue.
His wedding venue.
or: Eddie wakes up on the morning of his and Buck’s wedding. Everything has been meticulously planned—the suit, the flowers, the venue. There’s just one problem: Eddie is straight, and he and Buck are just friends.

Summary
Buck wants to be Eddie’s too. It’s a visceral want, crawling up his throat, choking him with its needy hands. Buck loves Eddie so much it’s become its own creature. A living, breathing thing that’s burrowed in his bones. They’ll cut him open and it will all come pouring out– red syrup, a mind of its own, fat with greed for Eddie. Insatiable. This love is the centre of him. It’s the point of him.
As he falls asleep, Buck wishes that, if he can’t tell Eddie, he could show Eddie just how much love he holds inside of him.

Or: Buck's love for Eddie becomes tangible and it becomes everyone else's problem.

Summary
If Buck draws a line from the day of that earthquake until today, he’s pretty sure it would be as red as the string of fate and as strong as spidersilk. When he was living in Eddie’s house, Buck realised just how caught up in Eddie’s web he was and ran away, desperate to free Eddie from the depth of his emotions. Now, even though he’s moved out, a single smile from his best friend reels him back in, and he finds himself wishing for more time in Eddie’s orbit.
So when the ceiling collapses in on them, trapping him and Eddie inside the parking lot, there might be a tiny, microscopic chance that it’s Buck’s fault for jinxing them.
Or, a month after Buck moves out from Eddie's house, Buck and Eddie get trapped underground together during an earthquake and have a conversation that's long overdue.

Summary
With their friendship not what it once was, the last thing Buck expected Eddie to ask him was if he could take him out for the most romantic date of his life and kiss him at the end of it - just so he has the experience. Yet that is exactly what happens one random afternoon.
What follows is some major freak outs, hard conversations and just maybe some realisations neither one of them saw coming.

Summary
“I'm not in love with you.” There’s a jolt in Eddie’s stomach at that. “I’m not secretly pining for you, or anything like that. I don’t even see you that way.”
“Oh,” Eddie says, then forces out a laugh he hopes sounds casual. Buck’s eyes are wide, honest, like he’s desperate for Eddie to be reassured by this admission, to believe him. And how much clearer could he be? He’s not in love with Eddie. That’s fine. Eddie never expected him to be. His now empty beer bottle hits the counter too loudly, “No, of course not.”
Or: Buck reassures Eddie that he's not in love with him. Eddie feels some type of way about that.

Summary
Buck’s been good, he has. He’s taken all of his desire and yearning and need to touch and look and feel, and left it in his locker at work, festering with the sweat stained T-shirt he was supposed to wash last week. He clocks in, makes sure it’s all still tucked in there safe from Hen’s all too knowing eyes, and goes about his day.
Except right now, he looks at Eddie, and he wants.
It’s just—here, with Eddie’s feet tucked under himself on the sofa, his face reflecting soft orange hues from the sunset pouring in through the window, and the sounds of Christopher laughing down the hall where he’s FaceTiming his friends in his room—it feels like forever. Like it used to, before everything went to shit.
OR: after Eddie kisses Buck to keep him alive during the high rise collapse, he tells him they can’t be together.

Chris still hadn’t answered his question, so Buck turned to him, his fingers brushing against the bookmark in the pages, but his focus was pinned to the sky, the galaxy swirling as the globe turned, and Buck watched the first tear slip down his face.

“I-I just don’t know why Dad doesn’t like you anymore.”

Summary
“You’re gonna go call him, aren’t you?”
Buck doesn’t dignify that with an answer because they both know what he’d say, and Chris throws himself dramatically back against the couch.
“I called dibs on you today. Don’t let him sway you to his side.”
Something warm unfurls through Buck at the idea of that. Being important enough to Chris that he’d want to call dibs.
“There are no sides, bud.” He ruffles Chris’s hair, “But you know I’m always on your team.”
(or: eddie & chris get in an argument. this time around, instead of running away, chris comes to buck.)
