    Summary

    The kid claps a hand over his mouth. His eyes are huge and sparkling with something that looks like excitement or mischief, probably both.

    "Sorry, sorry," he whispers loudly. Then he leans forward, like he's about to share a secret. "You're a hunk, right?"

    Buck chokes on nothing. "I. What?"

    "A hunk," the kid repeats. "You know, a hunk."

    "I..." Buck has no idea what's happening. "Sure? I guess? I mean, I've been told... I work out sometimes—"

    "Perfect!" The kid is already digging around in his backpack. He pulls out a slightly crumpled rectangle of cardstock and presents it to Buck with great ceremony. "This is for you."

    It's a handmade card written in crayon, blue crayon. The handwriting is careful but wobbly, the letters all different sizes.

    My dad likes boys and is single. He is a HERO and fights fires like Superman. He is a hunk. If intrested, please contact Chris Diaz.

    Summary

    “I thought you were ready to start dating,” Bobby says, which. Eddie doesn’t think that’s remotely close to the point.

    “Yeah, Eddie,” Buck echoes, all narrowed eyes and petulance, aggressively attempting to spear a tomato on his plate while maintaining eye contact.

    “I…I don’t think the blind dates were really working out.”

    “So you’re trying to get out of your aunt’s setups, again. And this is what you’re going with?” Hen says, eyebrows raised.

    “I did not say that. I hadn’t even thought about telling Pepa I’m seeing Felisa, to be honest.” But isn’t that a thought. “I just thought a break would be nice, you know? I can find someone at my own pace, organically.”

    A chorus of protests and objections, to the tune of “how are you going to meet someone organically when everybody thinks you’re dating someone else”, breaks out across the table.

    “Oh, he’s gonna find someone organically, alright,” Chimney interrupts. “Obviously, he’s gonna fall in love with Felisa.”

    Buck promptly begins to choke on his salad.

    Or: Eddie pretends to date Felisa Valdez, a normal thing to do, for normal reasons. Buck acts normal about it.

    Summary

    “Okay, please say something.” Buck managed, “I was only being weird because I didn’t want to be weird. Which I know sounds counter-intuitive, but I just wanted Christmas to be so perfect for you, because it’s our first Christmas together. I— I don’t know why I thought—”

    “It, uh, it isn’t my ring from Shannon.”

    Buck, obviously a linguistic mastermind, managed out a quiet ‘huh?’ in response.

    “The… ring.” He sounded like he was clearing a brick from his throat. “It isn’t from my first wedding.”

    “Abuela?” He asked, a little stupidly.

    Eddie, seemingly broken from whatever silent stupor he was trapped in, snorted.

    “No. Buck.” He stepped forward, swallowing and visibly forcing a smile onto his face. “It’s… for you. I mean, eventually.”

    OR -

    Buck finds a ring Eddie was planning to use to 'eventually' propose to him. He is obviously very normal and composed about this information.
