Summary
Eddie’s not a complete idiot. He knows this isn’t normal. He stands in front of a mirror in his underwear, the tightest pair he owns, and he poses for a picture at an angle he’s learned flatters his ass and the curve of his thigh, to send to his best friend.
He knows this isn’t what most best friends do. He also knows most straight guys don’t spend extensive amounts of time staring at men’s thirst trap accounts, or thinking about how their best friends look half-naked, but…
That’s not what Eddie is focusing on right now. He’s just focusing on feeling good, following the path that sparkles with joy, and refusing to overthink it. If happiness is Buck sending a meme of a guy with a nosebleed back to his shirtless selfie, then that’s what happiness is. Eddie has spent too long denying himself to let this be what stops his journey towards loving himself.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to be positive.
It’s not like he’s breaking any commandments, as Father Brian would say.

Summary
“I went out drinking with Ravi, and he found Tommy at the bar, I guess. Then out of nowhere Ravi was leaving, and Tommy sat down with me, and one thing sorta led to another and... and, he, uh. You know. Spent the night.”
Pulse rabbiting in his ears, Eddie’s jaw ticks. “He spent the night.”
“Yeah, but that wasn’t even the problem, really,” Buck says, exasperated. “Eddie—he told me that he dumped me because of you.”
The tune in his ears shifts from rushing blood straight to television static. “He what?”
~
Or: Eddie's in Texas, Buck is not, and the universe is screaming at Eddie about it.

Summary
Eddie stares, eerily calm as Buck takes in the decimated state of his face shield with a growing pit in his stomach.
“No…” he stumbles a step, reaching forward as if to touch Eddie’s bare cheek. “What did you do?”
Eddie cracks a sad smile as his eyes shutter closed. Buck punches the glass with every ounce of strength in his body. It doesn’t even rattle. “Eddie, what the fuck did you do?”
Or: 9-1-1 season 8, episode 14. Everything is the same, but now Eddie's there! Yippie!

“I’m not having someone over,” he cuts in with a scoff.
A scoff.
Like the mere idea is preposterous.
“Then why do you want me to leave?”
“Because you’re gay!” Buck exclaims, accompanying his high-pitched statement with a hand gesture.
Eddie blinks.
Buck blinks back.
“I’m gay therefore I can’t… stay in?” Eddie asks, eyebrows raised in utter confusion.
or, Eddie comes out, Buck's a good friend about it.

Summary
“Is something up? This is from yesterday, right? I knew you fucking inhaled something! I tried to tell Cap that he needed to make them give us some info so we could be prepared,” Buck says, animated, all hands swinging around as he makes his way closer to bed. “Did they call you last night? Like they were supposed to?”
“Yeah, they did. They didn’t tell me I’d lose my dick, though,” he grumbles softly.
Buck freezes as he moves to sit on the edge of the bed. “What?” He asks, his voice pitching high and almost breaking.
“Oh, sorry, not like, it didn’t fall off. I have a…vagina now.”
