Summary
“Look,” Buck says, “Anyone can say that they’re bi.” He narrows his eyes. “I’d have to date a guy to prove it.”
“You’ve dated guys, Buck,” Karen points out, backing up her wife. “Even if you hadn’t, you’re still bisexual. I don’t see why you’re so insistent that no one will believe you.”
“You should get a nose piercing,” May says helpfully, while texting one-handed. “All bisexuals have nose piercings.”

Summary
They look at each other for a moment. It feels brief, but then again it doesn’t. Buck quirks his lip up, almost teasingly. “Ready, cowboy?”
Eddie thinks he could melt. The softness makes him vaguely nauseous, like he’s sinking. “I’m from Texas,” he reminds him, “Not a western.”
or, eddie's a novelist, and buck never wanted to stay

Summary
“Are you serious right now?” Ravi accuses. “I—come on, man. You two are divorced. Or at least exes. Probably divorced though—with Christopher and all. Anyway, you two are getting remarried? Congrats! That’s so awesome.”
Buck blinks. “Are you trying to hypnotize us?”
“Is it working?”

Summary
“You’re kidding,” Ravi mutters in the waiting room as Bobby discusses things with the vet tech and Buck holds this incredibly large mutt in his arms like a baby and Eddie looks at Buck like his world is imploding inwards. “Great. What do we do with Cancer Dog?”
“Ravi,” Hen hisses. “We are in public.”
ravi begins, or something

Summary
Buck thinks he could kiss this man. But the only thing that comes out is, “Are you a libertarian?”
Eddie’s face changes to one of abject horror. “Why would you even ask me that?” he demands. “Oh my God, Buck. What about me—please tell me what made you think I was a libertarian so that I can never do it again.”

“So,” Chimney starts, trying to ease into it. “What do you think about Buck making out with a guy?”

Summary
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Bobby,” Buck bites out. “He took three months off. Saw a physical therapist. Did a few sessions with Frank. Clearly, he’s doing great.”
Bobby chews his lip. “If you’re sure,” he says finally. “He just looked a little off at that car crash, is all.”
“I would have noticed,” Buck insists. “It’s Eddie. I would’ve noticed.”
Or, healing doesn't happen in tandem

Summary
“We should do this more,” Eddie suggests, on their way out to the car, Christopher’s nose already buried in some new book about gladiators. “I like spending my weekends with you.”
Buck beams at him, similar to the radiance of the sun but maybe brighter. “We can do this any time you’d like,” he replies. “I love spending time with you and Christopher. You know that.”
Or: Eddie keeps buying Buck gifts and Buck keeps not getting the idea

Summary
He sits bolt upright in his seat. Jee-Yun squeals at the sudden movement. “Holy shit,” he says out loud, simultaneously praying that it doesn’t become one of those words his niece repeats until it loses its sparkle. “I told Eddie I loved him.”
Jee-Yun laughs. It feels a little like she’s mocking him. “Dee,” she agrees solemnly, placing a tiny hand on Buck’s cheek.
Or: Buck goes home to Pennsylvania. It's more familiar than he wants it to be.

Summary
“What are you doing?” Eddie calls.
“Uh, getting ready for bed?” Buck asks. “I don’t really need an Ibuprofen. I was just being dramatic.”
“So why are you in the living room?” Eddie demands. Or, well, Buck can’t really see him, but he sounds pretty demanding. “My bed is down the hall. I’ll be there in a sec.”
“Well, jeez, Eddie. If you wanted to share a bed with me, you could’ve just asked.”

Summary
“Come on, bud,” Buck continues, backing into a corner and shielding himself from the onslaught. “I thought we were a team.”
“You’re my dad now,” Christopher says simply. “You can’t be on my team. You’re on dad’s team.”
And the look on Buck’s face, it’s so — there’s a — he’s speechless and turning to look at Eddie like he’s just been handed the world in a neat, little chocolate tin and Eddie’s…

Summary
“Hey,” Ravi says. “Scale of 1 to 10, how bad would it be if I assumed Eddie Diaz’s girlfriend was his wife in front of him?”
Lee groans. “Did you do it in front of Buckley?”
“Yeah?”
“A hundred,” she replies, turning the other direction before Ravi can demand to know why.
At three in the morning, it hits him. He bolts upright in his cot. Oh my god, he thinks. Buck and Eddie are divorced, and everyone forgot to tell me.
aka, the ravi fic (affectionate)

Summary
“Did you know,” Buck asks, “That one in four people are queer?”
Chim narrows his eyes at the crowded station kitchen. “And yet there are 20 firefighters on this shift,” he announces, a little too loudly. “Fess up, people!”
“I hope it’s Eddie,” Ravi says. “He’s hot.”
“That man,” Hen says firmly. “Is straight. I would know.”
Buck’s face does something complicated. “Yeah,” he agrees, voice pitched a little too high. “Yeah. Totally.”

Summary
“Uh, you sure you don’t want to invite Ana?”
“Eh.” Eddie makes a so-so gesture with his hands. “I thought the zoo was kinda a private thing.”
Chim raises his eyebrows. Bobby coughs in the Captain’s seat. The back of Buck’s neck flushes: hot and angry. Eddie doesn’t seem to notice any of this. He never does.

Summary
Bobby looks at something behind him and Buck just has enough time to think, oh shit, before he’s asking, “But you two are fine?”
“Of course, Cap.” Eddie steps into his space, one hand gripping Buck’s shoulder. “Right, Buck?”
Buck doesn’t say anything. Bobby sighs like he doesn’t get paid enough for this.
Or: Buck pushes and Eddie keeps pulling away

Summary
Eddie, he wants to say. They’re sitting on opposite beds, speaking in low tones in case they’re overheard. Eddie, Buck wants to breathe. You think everything is too soon.
But that’s cutting a little too close to being a metaphor for something. So Buck just says, “Yeah maybe.” and hopes it doesn’t sound too much like, I’m so tired of being alone.
OR: Everyone always leaves, so Buck never expected Eddie to stay.
