Summary
Eddie is all fucking over him.
He falls asleep with his body sprawled over the broad expanse of Buck’s chest and wakes up with his face buried into the skin of his neck. They watch a movie together on Eddie’s couch and Eddie practically sits in his lap, head tucked under Buck’s chin as he blinks at the screen. When they’re alone, Eddie can’t stop himself from peppering kisses to Buck’s lips and his cheeks and his forehead as Buck giggles and pretends to try and duck. Under the dinner table every night, Eddie will hook his foot around Buck’s ankle and make Buck duck his head into a flushed smile. And Eddie is always, always holding Buck’s hand—running errands and in their own bed and at the grocery store and across the console while Buck’s driving them to work.
Maybe he’s just in the honeymoon stage. Or maybe this is how he’ll always feel—like every second he’s not touching Buck is a second wasted.
in which eddie is in love and a bit clingy about it.

Summary
“It has been exactly 44 hours since Buck was informed that he is in love with Eddie, and things are going just peachy.
For example, he’s about to spend the following 24 hours attached at the hip with Eddie at their shared place of employment. Contractually obligated to be in the same room, same engine, same burning building as him and not be weird about it.
You might even say he’s contractually fucked.”
Or, Buck realizes he’s in love with Eddie and tries not to be weird about it. He does a terrible job.

Summary
He could fall asleep like this, maybe, leaning on Eddie. He's comfortable, slowly warming where they do touch, and he can even ignore the way his neck is going to get a cramp as long as neither of them move a muscle and nobody turns the big light on and the nausea doesn't surge up again and his head doesn't start splitting in two. Maybe he could get a half-hour's sleep in, even. A cat basking in the sun, Buck could shut his eyes and stay right here forever.
or: Buck's withdrawal leaves him freezing. Eddie keeps him warm.

Summary
“Have you seen me and Hen get sick at the same time in our fifteen years of close friendship working at the 118?” Chimney asked, looking between Buck and Eddie seriously.
Buck’s mouth opened and closed a few times like a fish, his mind blanking on when an event like that occurred in their several years working together. Eddie stared at him helplessly, throwing Buck into the deep end to answer for them, making him grimace.
Scrunching his face together in deep thought, Buck replied more like a question with, “Yes?”
“No!” Chimney barked. Everyone in the circle jumped with fright.
“Weak immune systems?” Eddie tried again, wincing slightly.
“Just get in the truck,” Chimney ordered with immense defeat.
Or; Buck and Eddie are secretly dating, but they both catch a cold at the same time, raising suspicions at work.

Summary
Buck scoots down and snuggles into the pillows, his lips still stretched in a tiny smile that makes Eddie’s heart flip for a whole different reason. “No, I’m okay. Thank you. But, uhm –”
“What is it?”
“Would you maybe sit with me for a little longer?”
Eddie makes a gentle sound in the back of his throat and immediately lowers his body into the chair he and Chim dragged into the bedroom a few days ago. “You don’t even have to ask, Buck. I’ll be here. You can go to sleep.”
“Thanks, Eds,” Buck says again, his voice breathy as his lashes flutter softly before he promptly falls asleep.
Sleep has been a rare occasion for Buck lately, the withdrawals making him sick and achy and despite the bone-deep exhaustion also restless and oftentimes too anxious to sleep. So, whenever he manages to get a few hours, Eddie and the others watch over him in sheer relief.
Or a 9x15 coda in which Eddie worries, watches over Buck, and stays the night.
