    Fuck.
    No, no, no.
    This cannot be happening.

    Summary

    "I'm Buck."

    "Buck," Eddie tests the name out. Buck. He likes that name. It sounds good, warm and safe and comfortingly familiar on his tongue. "You're my husband."

    Buck's eyes widen, obviously surprised that Eddie remembered that. See, look? He's recovering remarkably quickly. He'll have his full memory back in no time.

    "Your husband," Buck repeats and Chris, for some reason, starts giggling.

    "My husband," Eddie agrees happily.

    -

    Eddie suffers temporary amnesia after an injury at work and makes some assumptions about the nature of his and Buck's relationship.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I am definitely not going to date anyone else now,” Buck said, straightening up and frowning.

    Eddie could feel himself flush, hating once again that his cheeks always showed his feelings. “I mean, you can,” he stuttered. “This doesn’t change anything—”

    “Why do you always say that?” Buck snapped, pulling back. Another tear crested his waterline on the other side and he sniffled and swiped at it furiously with one hand. “That—that nothing will change. I tell you something life-changing and you assure me nothing will change,” Buck said, looking devastated. “I want things to change, Eddie. I want you to want things to change. I want you to want things, period.”

    -

    OR: one year, two funerals, one LAFD gala, and approximately a dozen times Eddie had to sigh and say “Yes, it’s Buck’s.”

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.

    Summary

    Hen is relatively certain she has their new probie, Buck, figured out. Him saying he has a husband throws her for a loop, but who hasn't lied to a naked man in handcuffs flirting with them before? But Buck only gets more confusing from there.
