Summary
And, here, looking at his best friend, he can see that something’s broken inside him, too. And, maybe it’s the therapy he’s had over the years, his sessions with Frank, but Eddie wants to talk to Buck. He wants Buck to talk to him. Buck, who just looks so fucking sad, still in his dress blues, one hand drinking the beer, the other coming up to loosen his tie.
This morning, Eddie had noticed Buck tying, untying, retying the tie with breaths of frustration, fingers shaking. “Eddie,” he’d said lowly from across the room, and Eddie wouldn’t have even heard him if he hadn’t been watching. “I, uh, can never – I can never get this right.”
*
In the aftermath of Bobby’s death, Buck and Eddie need to learn to embrace change, settle into a new normal - a life without Bobby, and life navigating feelings for each other. A vision of what season 9 could be.

Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.
----
Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

Summary
The guy leans across the table to hand Buck the card and their fingers touch.
Eddie's vision tunnels.
It's — okay, it's not a touch touch. It's a brush. It's the kind of brush that happens any time two human beings transfer a small object, it is a purely functional hand-to-hand delivery of a business card, and the guy's wife, his lovely wife who Eddie is very grateful for, made the card herself, and Eddie knows all of this, and he’s being totally normal about it.
Eddie yanks on the back of Buck's shirt without meaning to. Buck stumbles back a quarter-step.
"I'm Buck, by the way." Buck recovers, tucks the card into his back pocket, sliding his arm around Eddie's waist. "This is my boyfriend, Eddie."
Boyfriend.
Eddie's whole body loosens another notch.
"Oh, nice to meet you both." The guy sticks his hand out to shake. "I'm Glen."
Or,
Buck is Eddie's boyfriend and Eddie, for one, is over the moon about it.
He's not so sure about this Glen guy, though.a pt. 2 for 'wikihow to be normal about your best friend'

Summary
Eddie opens his mouth. Closes it. Finally, he settles on, “You told your parents you’re married? To a man?”
Chimney and Hen both glance at him with twin looks that clearly mean he’s on his own with telling the rest of the story. Which—they had no problem teasing and joking about it three seconds ago, but now that Buck has to really get to the heart of the issue, they’re leaving it to him?
Go fucking figure.
“I told my parents,” Buck says, rubbing at the bridge of his nose with closed eyes, “that I’m married to you.”
or, buck and eddie go to hershey for buck's high school reunion. the only problem? everyone thinks that they're married.

Summary
"Hey," Buck says.
Eddie doesn’t move, eyes focused eerily on the ceiling.
"Ambulance is coming. Should be quick."
"Great," Eddie says, and his voice is flat and far away and scraped raw and he still isn’t looking at Buck, he is looking at the ceiling, he has committed to the ceiling, he and the ceiling are in a relationship now and Buck is the other woman.
"I'm really sorry."
"It's fine."
"It's—" Buck looks at Eddie's dick. He looks away from Eddie's dick. He looks at the wall again. "Eddie, it's purple."
"I know it's purple."
"I just want to make sure you know it's purple."
"I can feel that it's purple, Buck."
Right. Okay. That — that makes sense. Considering the purple dick is attached to Eddie, currently. He would know better than anyone.
Buck is going to stop talking now.

Summary
“Stop it,” Buck huffs out, shuffling out of reach. “You’re being ridiculous.”
“I’m not doing anything,” Eddie insists, sliding backwards until his socked foot touches Buck’s leg again.
“You’re being a dick.”
Buck attempts to move away again, and Eddie follows him, refusing to stop touching him with his socks until suddenly Buck’s not there anymore and a loud thump echoes throughout the room.
“Did you just—”
“Shit,” Buck mutters, and Eddie can vaguely see the shape of Buck’s body in the dark as he heaves himself up off the floor. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

Summary
Eddie yanks his briefs off, raising an eyebrow at Buck who proceeds to stare at his dick. Eddie gives him a moment. And then another. And then—
“Well it’s weird now,” Eddie says pointedly, and Buck’s eyes widen but remain locked onto their current target. “Dude, seriously?”
“Shit,” Buck swears, averting his eyes immediately. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to—”
“It’s fine,” Eddie says, vaguely amused now. “But fair’s fair.” Buck’s eyes snap to his, and Eddie nods towards Buck’s briefs. “Take ‘em off.”
“You’re just gonna—”
Eddie shrugs. “You started it.”
“I—” Buck chokes on his words. “You know what? Sure, whatever.” A little quieter, Buck mutters, “This is fine; perfectly normal behaviour between two best friends.”

Summary
“Are you seriously asking me the size of my dick?” Buck asks incredulously, huffing out a laugh. “God, you’re gonna regret this tomorrow.”
“Regret what?” Eddie asks, looking adorably confused.
“Look, forget about the dick cactus,” Buck says, in disbelief at the words coming out of his mouth. “It’s the middle of the night and we both need to get some sleep.”
For a moment it looks like Eddie’s going to cooperate, but no, of course it’s not going to be that easy.

Summary
“Skydive. Kiss someone in the rain. Go on a road trip... Get into a bar fight?”
Buck groaned, snatching the paper back. “Don’t judge sixteen-year-old me. He had dreams.”
Hen leaned forward. “Oh, we’re judging. Sixteen-year-old you has handed us a gift—insight into all of your questionable teenage priorities.”
Buck crossed his arms, glaring at her. “Hey, some of it’s respectable! ‘Learn to surf?’ Solid goal. ‘Save a life?’ Pretty sure I've nailed that one.”
“Get into a bar fight, though?”
“I thought it’d make me look cool!”
Or, when Evan Buckley finds the bucket list he wrote as a teenager, he decides there’s no time like the present to complete it.

Summary
Oh, alright, cool.
Cool, cool, cool. Neat.
That is a photograph of Eddie Diaz's dick.
It's just there. On the screen. In his hand. In high resolution. His best friend’s dick is in his hand. Well, wait — the photo. The photo of the penis is in his hand. Eddie’s dick isn’t in his hand. That would be absurd.
It’s just a penis. Buck has one of those.
So does Eddie, apparently and it’s… Buck has seen it, absorbed it, and every thought he's ever had has been replaced by a high-pitched tone and the image in front of him, which is — and this is the last coherent observation he'll produce for the foreseeable future —
Big.
Genuinely, impressively big.
Buck closes out of the photo and locks the phone so hard he's surprised it doesn't crack in half.
"Maddie say anything?" Eddie asks.
"Yep," Buck squeaks. Like a mouse. A giant, shocked mouse that has just seen its best friend’s erect dick.
"You okay?"
"Great. Y-yep. So great. I-I'm just really— the sunset was really— it's very— yep."
"It’s yep?"
"Uh-huh. Very yep."

Summary
"Leave it," Eddie says, his voice pulled taut like a wire about to snap, tight enough to hum.
Buck looks at him, and Eddie’s whole body has gone so rigid he looks carved from stone, but Buck will ruminate on that later. But he can't exactly leave his phone under the seat for the next eight hundred miles, it's got his whole life on it, every stupid photo he's ever taken of Christopher and Eddie and Eddie and Christopher and, embarrassingly, just Eddie, so many just-Eddies, an entire hidden album of candids he'll never admit to because they constitute evidence of something he's been pretending he doesn't feel.
"I can't leave it, it's my phone. It's got— hold on, I think it slid under your seat."
“Buck, don’t.”
It’s as if Eddie doesn’t even know him, because Buck has never once heard the word don’t and responded with anything resembling obedience. So now he’s stretching across the center console with one hand braced on Eddie’s thigh for leverage, the other reaching blindly into the dark gap beneath the driver’s seat, and he’s aware on some level that his positioning is— that he’s essentially— that his head is—
He’s in Eddie’s lap.

Summary
He's going back to the aquarium.
Not for Buck. Obviously, categorically, definitively not for Buck.
For Christopher, who loved it.
For a new sticker, because the old one is gone and he needs a replacement the way you'd replace a toothbrush or a phone charger, because it's a functional object that serves a functional purpose in his life.
If Buck happens to be there, then fine, great. Eddie can say hi, because there's nothing weird about wanting to see someone again. People revisit people. That's a normal thing to do. It doesn't have to mean anything. Besides, Chris loved Buck, so really, he only hopes Buck is there so Chris can see him again.
Or,
Eddie and his totally normal obsession with the aquarium. Which definitely has nothing to do with a certain employee named Buck.Part 2 to 'i'll take sexuality crisis at the aquarium for $108, Alex'

Really, it was Lena’s fault. She’d been the one to demand a video when Eddie had finally caved and sent an SOS to the group chat asking if anyone was willing to trade.
“Is anyone interested in trading jerseys with me? Preferably for a smaller size,” Eddie had said because knowing his coworkers, one of them would’ve been a smart ass and gave him an even bigger size. “I ordered an XL because I’m usually a XL but… the way it fits makes me look like I’m fucking one of the players.”
Eddie wasn't trying to go viral. He just wanted to trade his jersey. But then something called Booktok got involved.

“Well,” Buck says. “I’ve had worst first dates.”
The man looks unimpressed. “We fell fifty feet, got trapped beneath a building, your legs are pinned, and you’re telling me you’ve had worse?”
Buck thinks about this. “Well, Veronica liked the Red Sox.”
