Summary
And maybe that naturalness, that comfortable familiarity, that stressful but content way of living together is the reason that it takes Eddie a whole five minutes after leaving the house to realize that he just kissed Buck good-bye– on the mouth.
or
After accidentally kissing Buck goodbye on the mouth one day, Eddie proceeds to be an absolute gay disaster.
It's not really helping that Buck is cradling his baby boy while being shirtless.

Summary
Because every day after he woke up still in pain, and he couldn’t even tell his own family (because what if I can’t be a firefighter anymore? what if they don’t let me?). And then he’s hugging Eddie and they’re welcoming him home and maybe, just maybe, for a second he believes that it won’t be so bad.
Because then he was choking on his own blood staring into Bobby’s eyes thinking this is it, isn’t it? And then he woke up because damn, he always wakes up and somehow that’s always worse. And he wants to laugh at himself because how did he think, even for a moment, that anything would ever be ok?
Because then he was on blood thinners and they wouldn’t let him home, and he just wanted to go home (what if I can’t be a firefighter anymore?)
Because then the lawsuit happened and he just lost everything all over again.
Because
“You’re exhausting.”
(Or Buck's always been sad but it's post lawsuit, and Buck just can't handle it anymore)

Summary
“Are you doing alright?” Eddie asks him with a slight frown and Buck swallows, going back to tying his shoes so he doesn’t have to look at Eddie.
“Of course,” he says simply. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I don’t know,” Eddie replies and Buck can feel his eyes on him. “You’ve been quiet lately.”
Buck freezes in his movements for a fraction of a second. He thought that apart from the whole dinner at Bobby’s fiasco he’s been doing a pretty good job at acting like his normal self in front of everyone.
And how has Eddie of all people noticed that something is up with him? It’s not like he pays him any attention anymore.

Summary
“Stop.” Buck said quietly, and Bobby, weirdly enough, stopped trying to explain.
“Buck?” Athena said gently, looking at him a little worriedly.
“Bobby, what are you doing?” Buck asked carefully.
“I’m doing what’s best for you.” Bobby stated firmly, his eyes pleading with Buck for him to understand. Except Buck didn’t understand.
“No, you aren’t.” Buck said sadly. “Bobby, you only just got off of suspension when I was released from the hospital, months ago. Suspension for not telling the truth to the brass. We both know I’ve been cleared by four separate medical doctors, as well as three separate psychologists. I recertified. I set records when I recertified. What are you telling anyone for them to believe your word over other professionals?”
