Summary
Maybe it’s foolish, to give his heart and his love so freely - that’s why its been broken so many times, after all. But he keeps doing it anyway, keeps loving because that’s all he knows how to do. Keeps giving himself to other people so they’ll never have to feel as lonely as he did.
But when Eddie walked into his life, something just felt different.

Summary
It’s a recent development, is the thing. Buck didn’t know to look for this; didn’t know to recognize it until Eddie was smiling about his breakfast date and it felt like the bottom was dropping out of the world.
He didn’t know to look for it, and there’s not much he can do about it now.
or, eddie goes on dates. buck spends his nights babysitting and waiting for him to come home.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”
“She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.
Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.
or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

Summary
The 118 is a close-knit family. It’s not surprising given how much time they spend together: endless hours at the firehouse, barbecues on the weekends, the occasional night at the bar.
They’re a family, yes... but Buck and Eddie don’t have to tell them everything.
They’re allowed their secrets, really, and it’s not… weird. Really, it’s not. It’s just that sometimes the 118 asks too many questions, and sometimes there’s just no good (or clear or logical) way to explain.
Exhibit A: How Buck ended up in Eddie’s bed during a sleepover (and how he’s been sleeping there most nights since).
Or: Buck and Eddie comfort each other with cuddles, hugs, and kisses (platonically—or so they think).
