    Summary

    “I met a lady on the call the other day, the one I pulled out of the other unit… she said she was psychic and then started talking about granting wishes. It all sounded so ridiculous, but I-I think she did something to me. I know I sound crazy, but I think I have to do whatever people tell me to.”

    Buck jerks back, stands to his full height, and Eddie sees the last twenty-four hours playing through his eyes in perfect clarity, without one second of doubt. Buck believes him, instantly, wholly, without question, and Eddie suffocates the sob in his throat.

    “Oh, Eddie, you’re…” Buck says, “wait, is that why you were giving that guy your number?”

    “That’s your question?” He gasps through a laugh, and it’s wet and dangerous.

    “Yes,” Buck says, without an ounce of remorse.

    Summary

    "It's not what it looks like," Buck blurts.

    Bobby's eyebrows reach for his hairline. "So you weren't violating the one-firefighter-per-shower regulation?"

    "We," Buck sputters. "I mean, okay, yeah. We were, but we—"

    "We were figuring out breakfast," Eddie cuts in.

    "Well, next time, figure it out in different stalls."

    Summary

    He knows that Maddie basically raised the man Eddie’s fallen in love with. He knows that every little way Buck shows up in his life, every display of love he gives to Eddie and Chris, he learned from Maddie.

    He remembers what he said to Buck that day on the loft balcony, a bag of ice blocking blue eyes from his sight. That Buck had always known Maddie as his strong big sister, but she might need to be the one taken care of for once. Maybe he'd been speaking slightly from experience.

    So, yeah. It doesn't matter that they've never really talked or hung out like this before. Maddie is Buck's family, which makes her Eddie's family. If what she needs is a wine night, Eddie's gonna make it the best damn wine night of her life.

    "I'm in."

    -

    OR: Months after the shooting, Eddie and Buck dance closer and closer to confessing their feelings for each other — until Eddie agrees to wine nights with Maddie and Karen, and Buck thinks he's dating someone new.

    Summary

    Eddie recognizes the shirt Buck is wearing instantly. It’s his shirt. He remembers throwing it in the station laundry weeks ago, one of his older ones, soft from the wear. He stares for a couple of minutes

    Buck notices. “You good?” he asks. His eyes catch Eddie’s.

    Eddie clears his throat. “That my shirt?”

    Buck glances down at it. He lifts the hem like he’s checking. “Huh. Guess it is.”

    “You guess?”

    Buck grins, slow and shameless. “Well, it smelled like you. Thought the universe was telling me something.”

    Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Telling you what? To do my laundry?”

    “No,” Buck says, and there’s a flicker of something more in his voice.

    OR

    Eddie thinks there's something off about the way Buck is acting, but can't put his finger on it.

    Summary

    “We were friends in high school,” Eddie says, and the words seem to warp in his mouth with how much he’s not saying. “We had a fight, then Shannon got pregnant and we stopped talking. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in years. Probably the last time I'll see him in my life. Okay?”

    “Eddie, I don’t know what you think ‘friends’ means, but that was not friendship I saw.”

    *

    In which Eddie keeps secrets and Buck is incredibly normal and rational and even brave about his reaction to this.
