Summary
Buck is just staring right at him, staring through him. Eddie rolls his eyes, but breaks under pressure, “I’m not upset with you!”
Buck raises his hands at the sudden shift in his tone and Eddie feels utterly betrayed by his own voice.
“Hey, I’m the one who hasn’t had an orgasm in almost five weeks. I think if anyone deserves to be tense —”
Eddie doesn’t really hear the rest.

Summary
Buck looks at Eddie, and Eddie takes a breath. *Here goes nothing.* "What if Chris and I moved in here? What if we presented ourselves to social services as a couple? Like, romantically involved, committed to each other. It would show them we're a stable household with two parents. It would give Theo the dual household they're looking for without taking him away from you."
Buck's eyes widen, and for a moment he just stares at Eddie like he's lost his mind. "Eddie—no. No, that's—that's insane."
*I knew he'd say that.*
"Hear me out," Eddie says quickly, but Buck is already shaking his head."Hear you out? Eddie, you're talking about *lying* to social services. About pretending to be in a relationship. About—" Buck's voice cracks. "About moving in together. Do you understand how crazy that sounds?"
*It's not that crazy. Is it?*
Chris watches them, his eyes tracking between his dad and Buck like he's watching a tennis match. Except it's not a tennis match—it's two people who are so stupidly in love with each other that they can't even see it.
