    Summary

    “Is something wrong? Should I call the doctor back?”

    Eddie shakes his head. “No, no, I think I’m good to go just…” he hesitates, knowing his next words will inevitably sting. “Who are you? No one’s told me.”

    He watches the man’s face freeze, but it doesn't fall. No, his mouth goes stiff in a way that probably means he’s trying to hold back his emotions, and doing a pretty good job, all things considered. He forces his face into a friendly smile.

    “I’m Buck. Buck Bu - well, Evan Buckley, but everyone calls me Buck. We met at work, like seven years ago. We’re firefighters. I’m, well, I’m your partner.”

    Partner.

    Oh, wow.

    Eddie has never heard a better word. This man, this beautiful man, clearly kind too, by the way he paid devoted attention to Eddie’s discharge instructions and held back his sadness and fear to stay strong for Eddie – this man is his partner. They were together.

    Or:

    Eddie wakes up with amnesia and meets Buck, who introduces himself as Eddie’s partner. Isn’t it funny how a word can have two different meanings?

    Summary

    “I think I know a secret,” Theo says, voice now softened to a whisper.

    “Oh, you do?” Theo beckons him forward, so Chris makes a big show of leaning towards him.

    “Buck and Eddie make each other happy,” Theo whispers. “They’re married.”

    -----

    Buck and Eddie are not married. They really should be, though. Chris and Theo help with that.

    Summary

    “...My husband here is always talking about coming to this restaurant.” Buck tells the waiter, holding his breath while waiting for Eddie’s response.

    Eddie blushes immediately, “Yeah, I just love the food…” he says, nodding. Buck’s heart skips. He thinks Eddie will leave it at that, but he adds to the lie, “See, we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary tonight.”

    (Or, Buck and Eddie keep referring to each other as husbands, it’s undoubtedly nice… They’re not together, no. It’s a best friend thing.)

    Summary

    It’s the middle of the night. Buck isn’t on shift. He’s supposed to be sleeping right now. But, instead, he’s sitting on the bathroom floor with Eddie at who knows what hour it actually is. He’s here. “Buck?” Eddie chokes on another sob. “What are y-y-you doing here?”

    “Chimney called me,” Buck says softly, reaching up to cup Eddie’s cheek in his palm. He feels the gentle swipe of Buck’s thumb over his cheekbone, most likely wiping away one of Eddie’s many stray tears. He shivers at the soft touch, even as he leans into Buck’s warm hand. “He said you needed me, so here I am.”

    OR

    After two months of holding himself together, when Eddie is unable to save a teenage boy on a late-night call, he finally breaks down in the bathroom at the firehouse. Immediately knowing what he needs, Chimney and Hen make a phone call to the one person they know will be able to get through to Eddie: Buck.
