Summary
He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.
He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.
These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.
The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.
or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

Summary
A patient is flirting with Buck. The good news is, Buck seems to be enjoying himself immensely judging by his tilted grin and the fact that he’s lingering while Hen and Eddie actually try to do their jobs. The bad news is… all of the above.
“Alright, Buck,” Chim swoops in like Eddie’s knight in shining armor. “Stop distracting your husband and let him do his job.”
Buck’s face drops, gawking at Chimney as he continues on his way to the truck.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize…” their patient begins, her shoulders bunching to her ears.
“No!” Buck waves his hands, whipping his head down to look at her. “No. Soon to be ex-husband, actually.”
She makes a face. Eddie tries not to. “That sounds… complicated,” she says.
“Nope. Not complicated at all,” Buck insists. “We got married as a joke in Vegas. It didn’t mean anything. Drunken mistake.”
Eddie clenches his jaw, praying for the ground to open up and drag him under.
Eddie has come to the decision that a forever love is not for him. He plans to remain happily single for the rest of his life. That is, until a drunken night in Vegas changes everything.

Summary
“Remember how Ravi said I needed to get laid?” Buck asks at last.
Karen gasps, her hand coming to cover her mouth in shock. “Buck. You didn’t,” she sighs.
“What, you—” Hen looks like she can’t believe her ears, shaking her head. “You slept with your future nanny during the interview?
“That’s highly unprofessional,” Karen adds with a concerned frown.
Okay. Well. Maybe Buck shouldn’t have started there. “No! I— It was before, okay?”
Hen squints her eyes, trying to understand. “So, this man turns up to your house, you say hi, you have sex, and then you start asking about his former employers’ references?”
Or: Buck needs a nanny. Eddie is desperatly looking for a job. They might end up finding more than they asked for.

Summary
Eddie can’t fathom how Tommy could be so lucky to have someone like Buck and just not worship the ground he walks on, failing to see the miracle standing in front of him. He isn’t perfect, but he’s certain of one thing: he’d do better. He’d be so, so much better for Buck. He might not be worthy of Buck’s love, but Eddie can be a better boyfriend than Tommy ever will and he’s going to show him as if it was the last thing he’d ever do.
Or the one in which Eddie's had enough and finally does something about it.

Summary
Eddie drags a hand over his face, forces himself to look away, but it’s too late. The image is seared into his brain now, lodged deep in the part of him that logic has no power over.
He is fully, shamefully, helplessly thirsting over a complete stranger.
And then the guy laughs.
It’s low and warm, a perfect sound, the kind that sends a shiver down Eddie’s spine and makes his stomach clench. His willpower crumbles like a sandcastle as he risks another glance.
Huge mistake.
The guy is looking right at him.
His head tilts slightly, amusement flickering across his perfect features and he grins.
He knows.
Eddie clears his throat and abruptly turns away, shoving his attention back to his coffee before he does something stupid, like hold eye contact for too long. Or worse…smile back.
“You’re pathetic.”
“I know.”
Or; Alternative meeting, Eddie and Buck meet in a coffee shop and fall in love in seven days.
