    Summary

    He stands, frozen, at the foot of the bed, and watches as Eddie parents his child.

    When did that happen? he wonders, a buzzing alarm set loose in his head. The knowledge of it– the feeling that comes with it– crashes over him.

    Eddie glances up, all dark eyes and warm concern when he’s the one in the hospital bed, and oh–

     

    Buck loves him.

    or: eddie gets hurt, theo has a crashout, and buck has a realization, in that order.

    Summary

    “He—He had a nightmare,” Buck says. Eddie can tell he’s tugging at his hair. “He was asleep for barely an hour, and now he won’t stop crying. The thunder scares him.”

    Before Eddie can ever answer, Theo’s cries interrupt him. His voice wails out a sad, “EDDIE!”

    Eddie pauses. “Did he just say my name?”

    On the other line, Buck’s breath hitches. Eddie pulls the comforter off himself, already springing into action to find his shoes and car keys.

    Still, Buck doesn’t reply. Theo’s sobs are even more earsplitting through the phone. “I want EDDIE!”

    “He’s—” Buck sucks in a breath. “He’s asking for you.”

    OR: Theo can’t sleep because of the storm. Buck calls Eddie and Christopher for their help.

    Summary

    Maybe: Tabitha 🔮
    Your spell: “Love Spell: Buck” has been completed!

    The whole car jolts. He looks at Eddie. Eddie is also staring at the screen, almost as if Eddie can also see Buck’s hallucination.

    And he is hallucinating, because the alternative is that Eddie, who does not believe in magic, ordered what appears to be an Etsy witch and placed a love spell on what appears to be Buck.

    Or, Buck hallucinates a text message from Eddie's Etsy witch.
