Summary
Eddie ducks his head and Buck can only guess what expression he has behind the mask — sheepish smile? Ever present guilt?
Buck doesn’t even know what Tommy’s mask is because he’s not even wearing it properly. Maybe he’s being too harsh, though. At least he’s here, right? Buck looks around guiltily, wondering if he’s being a bad boyfriend abandoning Tommy to a corner. He spots him standing near the back, examining the jack-o-lanterns the kids had carved earlier. Maddie and Chim walk over to him, and Buck is pretty sure he hears Chim say, “Is that my beer?”
Buck should go over to him. Be the doting boyfriend. Diffuse whatever tension is sure to creep in.
He turns to Eddie, “Want a cosmopolitan?”
And Eddie has good taste, so of course he does.

Summary
Eddie’s at home when he gets the call. It’s rare that Buck’s on shift without him, but it happens. “He’s at L.A. General Medical,” Hen says over the line. Because Eddie’s not there in person to tell. If he was there in person, he wouldn’t need telling. He wasn’t next to him when it happened — whatever it is — and he wasn’t there to ride in the ambulance with him. “Okay,” Eddie says and gets in his car.

Summary
So maybe Jamie is tempting fate a little bit when he invites Keeley out for ice cream. Keeley agrees but seems to know he’s up to something. She snorts, eyes twinkling, and then does her own exaggerated lick of her double-scoop Strawberries and Marshmallow. “Want to tell me why we’re giving the paps a show?”
And Jamie’s got no good answer to that. Like, he’s got an answer. He’s not even sure it’s a bad answer. But he feels right stupid saying it out loud. Because the petty little truth is that he wants Roy’s attention.
---
Or: Keeley and Jamie get back together sometime during season three and pine after Roy a little (or a lot). It doesn't help that the press has caught on.

Summary
It’s warm with three bodies in the bed. Jon and Steve are equally stiff on either side of her, which is a little absurd. Jon is quite literally her long-term boyfriend. He at least shouldn’t be acting like he’s worried about touching her.
Nancy shifts a little onto her side and they both instantly copy her, keeping the same distance between them all. Honestly. It’s a little ridiculous. Nancy tries to ignore it, wondering if they’d made a mistake inviting Steve to share the bed with them. No weirder than inviting him to share their anniversary with them, she thinks wryly.

Summary
“It came out of nowhere,” Chris says.
“It’s called dry lightning.” There’s a shiver of excitement under your skin. You love learning new things, getting up close and personal, working with your hands, pulling apart the universe one discovery at a time. You never really know something until you’ve reached out and touched--

Summary
“We should make it a road trip, Eddie! We never hang out anymore, Eddie! It’ll be so fun, Eddie!” Eddie mimics, his voice trailing as he disappears into the tiny bathroom connected to their Budget Queen motel room.
“We’re not stranded,” Buck scoffs. “And you weren’t saying that when you were stuffing your face with the tamales that I found, or the cherry pie that I read about.”
Or, there was only one bed. And a lot of bickering.

Summary
It’s Christmas Eve 1986 and Eddie’s making bad decision after bad decision. He’s drunk, and he’s behind the wheel trying to find an open gas station, and he’s trying real hard not to crash his van even if he’s planned on ending it fifty times in the past week.
He should’ve called Wayne. He should’ve called anyone, really. Not that anyone would have answered this late on Christmas Eve.
Steve Harrington is the last person he expects to see at the gas station.

Summary
He’s fairly sure, in some faraway part of his brain, that Eddie doesn’t mean for him to climb onto the couch, slot his legs between Eddie’s, and collapse on top of him — Eddie’s chest his new favorite pillow.
He does know that’s probably not what he meant. But it is what Buck does.
Or, Buck's so, so tired. What's he supposed to do but take a nap on top of Eddie?

Summary
“As I’ve said five times now, you are my best friend. In the entire universe, for the rest of time. If you could get best friend married, I’d best friend marry you, okay? Can you please chill out?”
Buck blinks. “You’d best friend marry me?”
Eddie groans. “Are you only hearing every second word I say?”
“We should - - we should do that. That’s - - Eddie, we should do that.”
Or, Buck is jealous. He platonically proposes about it.

Summary
“Whoa, buddy!” The man with all his working limbs says, bending down in front of Christopher, putting himself between the toddler and the road. “Roads are no fun for babies.”
And Eddie, as stated, already cannot breathe. When he does try to breathe, he’s sucking in burning flames. So it takes a minute to register that the nice man who just saved his baby’s life is - - fuck. Of course. Of course, it’s his hot new neighbor.
Or, Eddie is injured. He also has a toddler. His next door neighbor keeps them alive.
