    Summary

    “Wait, you need a sitter?” Chimney says. Eddie nods. “Maddie’s brother got back in town a few nights ago, he’s looking for work.”

    Eddie frowns. He doesn’t know much about this mysterious brother of Maddie’s – doesn’t even really know much about Maddie, either, aside from being Chimney’s girlfriend – but he’s pretty sure every time he’s been brought up in conversation it’s not been particularly inspiring. “Is this the brother who flunked out of college because he spent all his tuition on a motorcycle?”

    Chimney colours a little. “Um. No?”

     

    or, Buck babysits Christopher and Eddie is—fine about it, actually.

    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

    Tommy broke up with him, Eddie's leaving, Chris is already gone, and Buck is feeling that old, dangerous urge to just leave. To get in his Jeep and not come back so he doesn't have to deal with any of it. But he doesn't want to be that person again, so he goes to Bobby, desperate to fix it in another way. Any way.

    When Buck doesn't show up for a shift, Eddie's left reeling, forced to confront the fact that he may have irreparably hurt his best friend by being just another person in the long line of people that left Buck behind.

    --
    Or:
    Buck doesn't know how to cope with everything going on in his life, so he takes a temporary assignment on a wildfire in Montana to clear his head. In a lot of ways, it works, until he slams right into some realizations about his past.
