Summary
“I got this thing,” Eddie says, catching him in his tracks.
“Thing?”
He turns fully toward Eddie, because if Eddie’s gonna drop something on him, Buck’s going to look directly at it. No mercy.Eddie blinks – once, twice – the only crack in his cool.
“A while back, an army buddy invited me to his wedding. Figured by the time it rolled around, I’d… have someone.” He breathes out through his nose. “So I put down a plus one.”
Buck loses it a little. Not out loud, not dramatically. Just this bright grin that won’t quit.
“The wedding’s Saturday. If you don’t have plans… you wanna come with me?”
Buck’s smile falters. His chest does this weird, traitorous flutter he absolutely did not authorize.
“Yeah,” he blurts, fast enough to shut down whatever escape hatch Eddie’s about to open. “Yes. Sure. I mean– yeah.”
or, Eddie invites Buck as his plus one to his buddy’s wedding, it all goes exactly like one would expect.

Summary
“...What I’m trying to say is, we’re best friends, you know? There’s nothing romantic about it. Just best friends.”
“Best friends who live together and raise two kids,” Eddie adds, perplexed.
“Yes!” Buck agrees, nodding, “Exactly.”
“Okay,” Eddie says, but it’s not, not at all. He’ll be demanding answers soon.
(Or, Eddie wakes up without remembering most of his life. He doesn’t freak out, really, he just needs someone to explain why is he not married to Buck.)

Summary
“You’re gonna go call him, aren’t you?”
Buck doesn’t dignify that with an answer because they both know what he’d say, and Chris throws himself dramatically back against the couch.
“I called dibs on you today. Don’t let him sway you to his side.”
Something warm unfurls through Buck at the idea of that. Being important enough to Chris that he’d want to call dibs.
“There are no sides, bud.” He ruffles Chris’s hair, “But you know I’m always on your team.”
(or: eddie & chris get in an argument. this time around, instead of running away, chris comes to buck.)

Summary
There’s a billboard. Which is a normal thing to find on the side of the interstate. Advertisements for car dealerships and injury lawyers and anything you could ever dream of. This, though… this is beyond his wildest dreams.
This billboard has a picture of a man, about Eddie’s age, blond curly hair and crystal blue eyes.
The man on the billboard is—
He is—
The billboard text swims into focus slowly, as if Eddie is surfacing from deep water.
THIS IS BUCK.
HE’S 33, SINGLE, AND A FIREFIGHTER.
HE’S A GREAT COOK IF YOU DON’T MIND
BREAKFAST FOOD FOR EVERY MEAL.
I’M BEGGING SOMEONE TO DATE HIM SO
HE STOPS THIRD-WHEELING MY MARRIAGE.And then, underneath, in smaller letters:
ALL GENDERS WELCOME TO APPLY.
I'M DESPERATE AND HE'S HOPELESS.
