Summary
“I don’t really care about my birthday, honestly. It’s not a big deal.”
Suddenly, the man is back in front of him, setting a plate in front of Buck.
“Alright,” The man says mostly to himself, reaching forward with a hot pink bedazzled lighter, clicking it on to light what is in front of Buck: an old fashioned donut from the coffee shop with a tea light balanced in the middle he recognizes from a restaurant nearby. He lights the candle, cupping a hand around it to protect it from the breeze, and hands the lighter back to a young girl walking past, thanking her.
“What is happening?” Buck asks quietly, staring at the man in front of him. He doesn’t answer, just starts very softly singing.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear…”
“Buck,” He smiles.
“...dear Buck, happy birthday to you,” He moves his hand away from the flame and pushes the plate closer to Buck. He sits in disbelief for a short moment, but leans forward and blows out the candle. The man smiles wide and Buck can’t help but laugh.
Or, pain and loneliness manifests in ways probationary firefighter Buckley doesn't quite understand. When he needs a friend, the world brings him Eddie.

Summary
“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”
Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.
There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.
“Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”
It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.
He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.
Buck never asks for anything.
Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”
Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

“Are you good, man?” The man asks, voice lowered. “You seem panicked.”

“Christopher,” Eddie grunts. “Cover your ears.”
Or, Eddie, Chris, and a random man get stuck in an elevator. Eddie panics.

Summary
"Evan Buckley," he murmurs, his fingers aching with how forcibly he's wringing his hands.
The nurse looks at him and tilts her head, as she presses her lips into a tight line, "I know, you've already told me." Her voice is soothing, somehow, but she's not helping, she's not– "One of the officers will be with you in a moment, you just need to wait for them to–"
"What happened?" Eddie interrupts her, avoiding her sympathetic gaze, focusing on the stripes of the Sergeant uniform a few feet from them.
The nurse—she can't be older than Eddie—looks conflicted.
"I'm sorry I don't have that kind of information, I just," she trails off, placing a hand on his arm. Eddie wants to step away from it. "I think it'd be better if you sat somewhere."
He needs someone to take him to Buck.Or, Eddie gets a call from the hospital to go identify the body of who the police thinks is Buck
