    Summary

    The boyfriend looks at Eddie's arm, looks at Eddie's face, does whatever math drunk people do when they're deciding whether a fight is worth it, and somehow arrives at the correct answer. He grabs maybe-horse-Ashley by the elbow and pulls her away, muttering something about firefighters that Buck doesn't catch because he's too busy trying not to pass out.

    Eddie turns around. His hand is still on Buck's chest.

    "Seriously?" One eyebrow up. Not angry yet, but getting there. "We've been here an hour."

    "He came at me!" Buck throws his hands up. Outraged. Innocent. An absolute victim of circumstance and nothing more. "I was just talking to her."

    "You were practically on top of her."

    "That's just how I talk to people, Eddie. I'm a leaner. It's my thing."

    Eddie stares at him for a second. His hand drops from Buck's chest and he shakes his head, turning back to the bar.

    "Get yourself a drink," Eddie says over his shoulder. "And stay out of trouble for five minutes."

    He makes it roughly eleven minutes before he does something stupid again.

    Or,
    Buck is completely normal about Eddie shoving Blue to defend his honor. Really. He is.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.

    “What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.

    “I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”

    “You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”

    “I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn't make this moment hurt any less.

     

    ---

    Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.

    Summary

    “I’ll be right back,” Eddie says, as his eyes snap to something over Buck’s shoulder. “Stay here with Chris.”

    Eddie presses a firm kiss to Buck's lips before ducking off into the crowd, and Buck watches him go with a dazed look on his face.

    “You guys are kissing now?” Chris asks curiously. “I didn’t think he’d told you yet.”

    That drags Buck back to reality.

    “Huh?” he says. “Told me what?”

    Chris raises an eyebrow. “Dad’s told you how he feels, right?”

    “It’s just been the kissing actually,” Buck admits, still a little out of it. “I don’t think he’s fully aware he’s doing it?”

    *

    (Buck's not sure what's going on when Eddie starts accidentally kissing him. Eddie's not as oblivious as Buck thinks he is.)

    Summary

    Dragging a hand down his face, Eddie says, “It was thirty seconds.” 

    “Of betrayal,” Buck says darkly. 

    A laugh bursts out of Eddie. “You’re–” 

    “I’m what?” Buck advances on him before stopping abruptly in the middle of the room. Behind him, the curry they’d been working on sizzles, oil burning. Neither of them does anything about it. “I’m right?”

    “Jumping to conclusions,” Eddie grits out. He hates being cornered like this. “Like you always do.”

    “Oh, okay,” Buck says, too brightly. “Same way you keep jumping through hoops to avoid saying anything you actually want to fucking say?” 

    Buck’s not being fair. None of this is fair. It’s not right, it’s not–

    “Fuck you,” Eddie snaps.

    OR: Buck and Eddie argue after Buck hooks up with a married couple.

    Summary

    “I want all of this, Eddie. I want a home and a family and I— maybe I can’t have it while I’m sleeping on my best friend’s couch.”

    The idea of Buck finding someone else, of him going anywhere further than their living room, sat like a brick in Eddie’s gut. Was he so desperate to escape? Could he see it, written all over Eddie’s face? The shift Eddie had been pointedly not looking at since he returned to LA.

    “We are your family.”

    “I need to learn to—”

    “If you say stand on your own two feet one more time, Buck, I swear!”

    Buck heaved a sigh, put upon and irritated, “Well, what’s so wrong with that?”

    “We’ve fucking been alone, Buck. Me and you, all our lives, we’ve been doing it alone. You grew up alone. I did too. You don’t need to learn how to be alone, you need to learn how to lean on the people who are offering you their shoulder.”

    OR -

    An 8x18 epilogue/fix-it. Buck and Eddie fight, a few truths come to light and they learn how to lean on each other again.
