    Summary

    “Earth to Eddie,” Buck says. He laughs, but it sounds confused. “You’ve been staring at me all day, man. Do I have something on my face?”

    “Your nose,” Eddie says. Christopher still thinks that one’s hilarious.

    Or: Buck comes out as bi, which triggers a series of events that cause Eddie to realize that maybe, just maybe, he’s in love with Buck. Except logic dictates he can’t be. Except he definitely is. It’s complicated.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    Summary

    Buck goes on dates now.

    Not often, and never with the same girl twice in a row, but he goes on dates.

    And the thing is — the thing is, Eddie can’t be mad about that, because he goes on dates too.

    -

    or, five (ish) times eddie and buck go on dates with other people, and one time they go on a date with each other

    Summary

    “Yeah. Uh, hi. Um. I think I have your cat.”

    Eddie’s really glad he’s idling at a stop sign because he freezes. “What? Really?”

    “Yeah. Collar says Bear. Does she belong to you?” The voice is amused but also understanding.

    “Yes, that’s her. Thank you! Can you give me your address?” Eddie asks hurriedly. Relief washes through him knowing that she’s safe and that he won’t have to tell Chris he lost her.

    “I found her curled up with my dog. I took a photo; it was the cutest thing.”

    or

    Buck and his dog move in above Eddie and his cat. The animals instantly click and want to spend all their time together, regardless of what their owners are ready for.
