Summary
Everyone was perfectly polite to him. They greeted him at the start of the shift and wished him a good 48 off when he left the station, they didn't give him dirty looks at the table and communicated about work. But Buck couldn't remember the last time someone asked him how his weekend was, involved him in a joke, or casually touched him. He couldn't remember the last time anyone touched him on purpose at all. Everyone kept a very safe distance from Buck. He wondered if they were scared he would sue them if they made a wrong move near him.

Summary
Buck isn't looking, but he can feel the presence of someone else climb in with him. They situate themselves in the narrow space between the center console and the seats. A hand lands on the back of his neck, ensuring he doesn't move from this position. The pressure is firm, but not cruel.
"Relax," Red whispers in his ear, low and husky. "Enjoy the ride."
Buck hears doors slam and the shifting of gears. The car lurches, and so does his stomach, because it's evident that nobody is going to find him now. Relax? Impossible. He's going to be killed, his body will be buried in the middle of the desert, and he didn't even thank Eddie for the coffee this morning.
Or: Because Buck's life can never be simple, he finds himself with a gun pressed against the back of his head, in the middle of a feud that has nothing to do with him, and with five pounds of C-4 strapped to his chest. Somehow, that's not even the worst part.

Summary
“Do you have any date ideas?” asks Buck.
“Why do you keep asking people that?” asks Eddie quietly, but with obvious annoyance in his voice.
“Are you asking me out, or do you need ideas for you and your boyfriend,” says the women, glancing between him and Eddie.
“What, no no no no no,” says Buck way too quickly, looks at Eddie, stops on his eyes for a second, and then practically runs towards Hen.OR
Eddie finds a note on Bucks notes app with all his dream dates. Week by week he not so subtly asks Buck out on all his dream dates, until a new idea appears on the note that makes Eddie scared to ask.
