    Summary

    “This is not the type of stuff that should be displaced and currently in Buck’s possession.
    If he had it his way, he would never lay eyes on this and be forced to learn its content.
    Because he’s currently holding the “Last Will and Testament of Edmundo Diaz.”
    But that’s not really what has Buck cross-legged on the floor of his bedroom in the middle of the night, feeling like the gravitational pull of the Earth has changed.
    It’s the piece of slightly crumpled notepad paper with it, scribbled with Eddie’s handwriting, with lines crossed and smudged letters.
    That’s addressed to him.”
    or
    Eddie’s will has a letter attached to it. Buck finds a draft.

    Summary

    "Can I try something?"

    "Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.

    "Close your eyes."

    "E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.

    "I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"

    Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.

    Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.

    Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.

    Summary

    “Doctor Copeland said something about making the life I wanted. That I shouldn’t just wait around for what I wanted to come to me when I could be actively seeking it out instead," said Buck.

    “So you started dating?” asked Eddie quietly.

    “I started looking for the person I’m going to marry.”
    --
    OR: After moving in together, Eddie finds out Buck's been going on dates behind his back. They fight about it. Eddie sabotages some dates and talks to a priest. Then they both have some pretty big feelings.

    Summary

    God, Eddie was glad he wasn't here. He was glad that if anyone had to be on this plane that it was him and not Buck, or Bobby, or Chim, or Hen. But especially not Buck. Buck, who in less than 24 hours was going to have to explain to Christopher what had happened. Who in less than an hour was going to be his son’s legal guardian and he wouldn't even know it. Buck, who was expecting a call soon.

     

    or

     

    When Eddie's plane goes down, he leaves Buck a voicemail telling him how he feels, after all, he was about to die. Only he didn't die. And when he returns, Buck doesn't say anything about the voicemail and Eddie assumes that mean Buck just isn't interested.
