Summary
“Aren’t you gonna tell me all about the Mississippi river?” Eddie asks, his voice thick with warmth, almost tender.
Buck narrows his eyes. “Do you wanna hear facts about the river?”
“Buck, if you have things to say, I want to hear them.”
The sun doesn’t break through the clouds, but it’s like the sky brightens, for just a moment, burnishing highlights in Eddie’s hair and finding new flecks of color in his eyes. Buck feels heat travel down the back of his neck.
or: Two firefighters. Two thousand miles. One realization they probably should’ve had a long time ago.

Summary
“On the other side of this,” Eddie whispers. “Maybe we can try it.”
“Hm, okay,” Buck hums, apparently awake, but barely. “What are we tryin’?”
“I know now isn’t the right time. I’m not - - we’re not ready. But this next bit isn’t going to be pretty. It’s going to be hard. And I need you to know, so you have something to hold on to. So that I don’t forget what it feels like. What it felt like. We could - - we could try.”
Or, after the kidnapping, Buck goes through it. Eddie goes through it with him.

Summary
"Don’t get me wrong, you're gorgeous, Eddie. Really. But I usually go for guys who’ve been around the block a few more times. I like a little more... experience in my bed."
Eddie felt the challenge like a physical slap.
"You think just because I'm younger, I don't know what I'm doing?" Eddie whispered, his gaze dropping pointedly to Buck's lips. "Give me an hour. I’ll show you that 'experience' is overrated compared to someone who knows exactly how to take what he wants."
Buck’s eyebrows shot up, a playful glint dancing in those cornflower blues. "Someone’s confident," he teased, pink lips pulled in a coy smile. He didn't say yes, but he didn't have to; the way his gaze lingered on Eddie’s mouth told the whole story. It was a silent challenge, an invitation to prove he wasn't just talk.
Or, Eddie picked up an older Buck on his first night at a gaybar.

Summary
”Shannon is cheating on you!” Buck claps his hands over his mouth, staring wide eyed over his fingers.
And – what?
“Buck,” Eddie says slowly, “Shannon is a lesbian and I am gay.”
Eddie watches the words hit Buck, as well as the expression on his face as he doesn’t comprehend them.
“I think we should sit down,” Eddie suggests, looking over his teammates' equally uncomprehending faces. “Like right now.”
*
AKA the fic where Eddie doesn’t get what’s so hard to understand? He’s a gay man married to his lesbian wife and he’d like to kiss his best friend now please.

Summary
"You're really just gonna sit there and act like it didn't happen," he mutters.
Eddie looks up at him, a small fond smile on his face that's reserved only for Buck.
"I'm going to marry you someday," Eddie murmurs. "Do you want French toast?"
Buck nearly chokes on his coffee. There was no way he heard that correctly…right?
"Uh," he splutters. "What did you just say?"
"Do you want French toast?"
"Before that," Buck clarifies.
"Oh." Eddie's smile only grows wider. "I'm going to marry you someday."
or: Buck and Eddie share a bed, a kiss, and a pancake. In that order.
