Summary
Chim’s gaze triangulates from Buck to Eddie, to the empty space beside Eddie, then back to Buck.
“Hi,” Chim says, very slowly, projecting a why are you, Butthead, sitting here, when Beavis is over there? into that one word to the best of his ability.
Buck looks up from his phone, his smile immediate and radiant. “Uh, hey! Morning, Chim. How’s it goin’?”
Chim pointedly glances at Eddie, then swivels back. Buck’s eyes remain fixed on Chim, smile unwavering and very determined in his pretense that the crossword enthusiast opposite them doesn’t exist.
Or, Chim gets to the bottom of it.

Summary
After a long moment he said, rougher than he intended, “I should’ve pushed harder.”
Maddie didn’t interrupt.
“I knew he wasn’t okay.” Eddie rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. “Maybe not how bad, but I knew. And I let him tell me he was fine because…” He exhaled hard. “Because I wanted it to be true.”
The confession sat between them, stripped bare.
Maddie was quiet for so long Eddie wondered if he’d said the wrong thing after all. Then she leaned forward, elbows on her knees.
“Eddie,” she said softly, “if loving Buck meant always knowing how to save him, none of us would ever sleep again.”

Summary
"Can I try something?"
"Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.
"Close your eyes."
"E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.
"I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"
Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.
Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.
Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.

Summary
“Sorry,” Eddie chokes, “about the… voicemail.”
Buck feels Eddie’s hand slacken in his. Watches the light in his eyes start to dim, and Buck yanks at his arm. “No, no – no, don’t… don’t be sorry. You…” He wants to wait because if he says it now, he’s admitting Eddie might not make it. “You know how I feel, Eddie.”

Summary
"Okay," Buck eventually says. "Okay, just to confirm—I just gave you butterflies, right?"
"Affirmative," Eddie snorts.
"A-and you liked it?"
"Correct."
"And now you want—"
"To kiss you."
"Whoa."
OR Buck wants to train Eddie not to take flirting so seriously, miscalculates, and instead has them both spiraling over butterflies for the rest of the night.
