    Summary

    He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.

    The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.

    He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.

    These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.

    The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.

    or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

    Summary

    “There’s this thing I learned, okay?" Buck says. "The most important thing I’ve ever had to learn.” 

    Jane’s eyelashes cast long shadows down her cheek as she looks down, side profile cast in orange light. Buck can’t help but think of her parents, of what they would feel, knowing their daughter is halfway down a cliff, so close to giving up. 

    Hoarsely, Buck says, “I learned how to ask for help.”

    Or: Eddie doesn't know how bad Buck's been doing. A cliffside rescue enlightens him.

    Summary

    Eddie narrows his eyes, “But— but you introduced me as your partner, thought you needed me to pretend I was, so I took your cue.”

    “…What? You are my partner, Eddie.”

    There’s a beat. “Oh my god,” he groans, face-palming, the heat quickly creeping up to his cheeks. “No one knows you mean work partner when you say that, Buck!”

    “Of course they all do, I always tell everyone you’re my partner,” Buck huffs, shaking his head incredulously and tugging at his hand.

    (Or, while on vacation, Buck and Eddie accidentally fake date, until it turns intentional, and, well... It makes them figure out a thing or two.)

    Summary

    “Sorry,” Eddie chokes, “about the… voicemail.”

    Buck feels Eddie’s hand slacken in his. Watches the light in his eyes start to dim, and Buck yanks at his arm. “No, no – no, don’t… don’t be sorry. You…” He wants to wait because if he says it now, he’s admitting Eddie might not make it. “You know how I feel, Eddie.”

    Summary

    "Okay," Buck eventually says. "Okay, just to confirm—I just gave you butterflies, right?"

    "Affirmative," Eddie snorts.

    "A-and you liked it?"

    "Correct."

    "And now you want—"

    "To kiss you."

    "Whoa."

     

    OR Buck wants to train Eddie not to take flirting so seriously, miscalculates, and instead has them both spiraling over butterflies for the rest of the night.
