Summary
Buck clears his throat, reaching down with the hand not holding Jee-Yun’s for the clipboard. “Jee, can I have the clipboard, please?” She hands it over happily, and Buck flips to the second page. There are multiple pages on the clipboard. This is not looking good for Eddie. “Well, Eds,” Buck says, and the way he licks his lips and pulls a pen out from where he has it tucked behind his ear has Eddie remembering just how much wine he’s had. He always forgets the raw sex appeal of Clipboard Buck until Buck looks at him with that sadistic gleam in his eye. “How many boxes of Girl Scout cookies have you bought this year?” Buck asks, and the twitch is back, right at the corner of his mouth. Eddie’s going to have fun with him later.

Summary
Buck knows three things for certain, and one thing for maybe.
Number one: Eddie does not have a POA.
Number two: if the doctors had come to the waiting room to ask what the group had thought Eddie’s wishes were, all eyes would’ve turned to Buck.
Number three: isn’t that what a POA is, really?
The maybe: Eddie would put Buck in his will a second time.Or: Eddie's hurt on the job. Again. Buck spreads misinformation in the waiting room.

Summary
“Sorry,” Eddie says suddenly, with a little frown between his eyebrows that makes Buck’s next breath come in a wheeze. “I didn’t even ask if you’re okay. Any anxiety? Shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat?”
“Not—uh,” Buck coughs, trying so hard to say something normal, but against his best efforts, what comes out is: “Not because of the elevator.”
Eddie’s eyebrows climb up his forehead.
“I’m not claustrophobic, is what I mean,” Buck says, but the damage has been done. “Just, you know.”
or the one in which buck stumbles on the rest of his life in a malfunctioning courthouse elevator.

Summary
Eddie reaches a hand, slowly, towards the cat, palm up and open like he was taught to greet dogs, and the beast hisses at him.
“Oh, relax,” he says, rolling his eyes, and inches his hand closer. “I’m bigger than you.”
The cat’s eyes are narrowed into slits, zeroed in on his hand, but she doesn’t hiss again. Eddie’s not sure how she does it, but he gets the distinct impression that she’s doing him a huge favour when she finally lets him get close enough to run gentle fingers over the top of her head.
Her fur is dry and chalky, like she’s got a layer of grime settled on top of her. Eddie’s familiar with the feeling.

Summary
“Yeah,” Eddie says, and the darkness behind his eyelids takes on a white edge. “Be good. Nice to be married,” he yanks on Buck’s t-shirt, “best friend.”
Finally, Buck takes a breath that sounds off somehow, but he laughs too, and that sounds normal, Eddie thinks. A normal laugh.
“Sure, Eds,” he says, and there’s his hand in Eddie’s hair again, a puff of breath on the crown of Eddie’s head like Buck leaned in to press a kiss there and then stopped, but why would he stop—“I’ll marry you if you remind me tomorrow.”
or the one in which joking about being married to your best friend is all fun and games, right up until you realize that you're not laughing.
