Summary
For years, Eddie pushed the mere thought away because he was scared of ruining what they have, because he was sure Buck didn’t feel the same way. But over the past few months, things have changed. Maybe just his perception of things, helped along by therapy and all the work he’s done to stop repressing all of his feelings, but he started seeing things differently. He talked to Hen, who agreed, and Karen, even Linda when he felt really desperate, even though she only knows Buck in passing and from his and Maddie’s stories. Still, everyone said he was right, that they were sure his feelings weren’t one-sided. And Eddie really started to believe it, too.
The point is, over the past few weeks, while he’s been working up the courage to confess his love to Buck, he never once considered Buck wouldn’t say it back.

Summary
They follow the room numbers down the hallway until the last door on the right. It’s slightly ajar, and when Eddie knocks politely, it opens further.
“Hey,” a cheerful, male voice says. “You guys are early!”
When Eddie spots the source of the voice, he nearly swallows his tongue.
The man is tall, with broad shoulders and huge arms, a sunny smile on his face that looks so genuine Eddie can’t help but smile back. There’s a splash of pink over his one eye, his hair is just the slightest bit curly, and his eyes are startlingly blue. He’s also about 80% legs, and leaning on a cane to walk.
Belatedly, Eddie remembers that he should say something too, not just stare at this guy approaching them.
“Uh,” he starts eloquently. “Sorry. This one was getting impatient at home.”~
Newly arrived to LA, Eddie decides to take his son to parent/child cooking classes. The instructor is so much more than he expected.

Summary
Buck had…hundreds of pictures of Eddie. Candid shots at work, pictures of him with Christopher Buck had taken, selfies of the three of them together, selfies of just Buck and Eddie, photos of Eddie with the rest of the team, photos from quarantine of Eddie and Chimney with bottles of beer on Buck’s balcony or that time they’d insisted they could improve the water pressure in Buck’s shower and ended up fully dressed and drenched, of Eddie posing with the cake they got him when he returned after the shooting, or with the cupcakes he and Buck had made for the bake sale at Christopher’s school, Eddie up on a ladder trying to fix his kitchen window before he’d relented and called his landlord, Eddie asleep in Buck’s jeep, head tilted back and mouth open. Proof of a life shared.

Buck looks through his camera roll and realizes it’s time for a few tough conversations

Summary
“No one’s ever given me flowers before,” Eddie admits, and Buck steps closer to him, smiling that smile again.
“Well, I think you deserve to be given flowers,” he says, his hand big and warm on Eddie’s waist. Eddie wants to kiss him so bad, but Buck just squeezes his waist lightly and nods towards the door. “Ready to go?”
“Yeah,” Eddie breathes. “You still haven’t told me where we’re going.”
“That’s because it’s a surprise.”

Buck and Eddie go on a date.

Summary
Buck slaps the back of his hand against Eddie’s chest. “I even carried Eddie here once.”
Eddie’s entire demeanor changes as he finds a way to get Buck to focus on him again. “That was the adrenaline.”
“Well, yeah,” Buck admits. “But I could do it now, too. Do you want me to prove it?”
That’s the flirtatious tone that was missing earlier, and Hen immediately pays closer attention. Eddie makes a sound that Hen has never heard him make, and it takes her a second to realize that it was a giggle. A giggle! If only she could record this shit for Chim and Karen.
“No,” he says, not very convincingly.
~
Hen spends three weeks watching Eddie make a fool of himself in front of Buck.
