    Summary

    "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

    Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

    Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

    “No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

    Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

    ——

    Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

    Summary

    Day twenty-three, change of tactics.

    I feel like you both are being dumb.

    Dad unfolds this one and reads it and stops and reads it again like he's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less insulting.

    "Excuse me?"

    "It's my feeling." Chris spears a dumpling with his chopsticks. "You can't argue with my feeling, that's not how therapy works."

    "I can ask for clarification on what you mean."

    "Clarification about what? It's very clear. You—" he points at Dad, "both—" he swings to point at Buck, "dumb. Three words. Simple sentence structure. I learned about that in English class."

    Or,
    Chris weaponizes his therapy homework to make his emotionally constipated dad admit he's in love with Buck.

    Summary

    Buck was standing where Eddie had left him. The other man was already talking, something low and instructive, and Buck was listening with an expression that was pleasant and gave nothing away. A whole face full of nothing.

    But before the door swung shut, Buck glanced over.

    One look. The kind you gave when you weren't supposed to and gave anyway. Eddie held it for exactly as long as he could, which was not long at all.

    The door closed. The carpet changed back.

    "Buck was nice," Chris said.

    "He was," Eddie said.

    They walked back toward the Third Class sections without further discussion.

    Summary

    The thing was…Eddie could be petty. So when he discovered an opportunity to beat them at their own game, he took it, even if he was still wary of the smart appliance.

    He had planned to donate or sell the coffee maker, but, with no small amount of hesitation, he opened the box, skimming along the specs and instruction manual in a moment of morbid curiosity.

    AU in which Eddie keeps the Hildy, and learns a few things about himself in the process that only a smart device could teach him.

    Summary

    “You’re Buck’s Babbles, right? That’s your podcast?” Eddie asks. Buck uncrosses his arms as his eyes widen and he steps closer to Eddie. He looks a little stunned.
    “Uh - y-yeah. It is. How - how do you know that? I don’t have any of my social media linked to it,” Buck stutters, stepping closer again. Eddie is peripherally aware of the others staring at them but he can’t break himself out of the bubble they’ve found themselves in. The reason Eddie is standing where he is right now is standing right in front of him. Buck is standing right in front of him.

    or

    The one where Buck has a podcast and helps Eddie before they meet (and Eddie is totally smitten).
