Summary
Eddie ducks his head and Buck can only guess what expression he has behind the mask — sheepish smile? Ever present guilt?
Buck doesn’t even know what Tommy’s mask is because he’s not even wearing it properly. Maybe he’s being too harsh, though. At least he’s here, right? Buck looks around guiltily, wondering if he’s being a bad boyfriend abandoning Tommy to a corner. He spots him standing near the back, examining the jack-o-lanterns the kids had carved earlier. Maddie and Chim walk over to him, and Buck is pretty sure he hears Chim say, “Is that my beer?”
Buck should go over to him. Be the doting boyfriend. Diffuse whatever tension is sure to creep in.
He turns to Eddie, “Want a cosmopolitan?”
And Eddie has good taste, so of course he does.

Summary
Eddie’s at home when he gets the call. It’s rare that Buck’s on shift without him, but it happens. “He’s at L.A. General Medical,” Hen says over the line. Because Eddie’s not there in person to tell. If he was there in person, he wouldn’t need telling. He wasn’t next to him when it happened — whatever it is — and he wasn’t there to ride in the ambulance with him. “Okay,” Eddie says and gets in his car.

Summary
So maybe Jamie is tempting fate a little bit when he invites Keeley out for ice cream. Keeley agrees but seems to know he’s up to something. She snorts, eyes twinkling, and then does her own exaggerated lick of her double-scoop Strawberries and Marshmallow. “Want to tell me why we’re giving the paps a show?”
And Jamie’s got no good answer to that. Like, he’s got an answer. He’s not even sure it’s a bad answer. But he feels right stupid saying it out loud. Because the petty little truth is that he wants Roy’s attention.
---
Or: Keeley and Jamie get back together sometime during season three and pine after Roy a little (or a lot). It doesn't help that the press has caught on.

Summary
It’s warm with three bodies in the bed. Jon and Steve are equally stiff on either side of her, which is a little absurd. Jon is quite literally her long-term boyfriend. He at least shouldn’t be acting like he’s worried about touching her.
Nancy shifts a little onto her side and they both instantly copy her, keeping the same distance between them all. Honestly. It’s a little ridiculous. Nancy tries to ignore it, wondering if they’d made a mistake inviting Steve to share the bed with them. No weirder than inviting him to share their anniversary with them, she thinks wryly.

Summary
“It came out of nowhere,” Chris says.
“It’s called dry lightning.” There’s a shiver of excitement under your skin. You love learning new things, getting up close and personal, working with your hands, pulling apart the universe one discovery at a time. You never really know something until you’ve reached out and touched--

Summary
“They’re fine, I guess,” Julie says. “Kinda weird.”
Weird as in: she gets a feeling like brain freeze if she looks at them for too long. Weird like: when they lean in to speak to each other, they make the conference room go still and November cold. She would need something far stronger than coffee before she’d admit it, but there have been moments where Julie could not tell them apart.
or: soulmates as cryptids

Summary
“So who was your would-be closet key, then?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
Eddie grins, sharklike. “Oh, I bet.”
Taking a deep breath, Buck admits: “Jude Law in The Holiday.”
Much to his surprise, Eddie doesn’t laugh. Instead, he cocks his head and asks, “The Holiday?”
Buck doesn’t remember being struck by lightning, but he imagines the jolt would feel similar to the one that hits him now. “Cancel our plans,” he orders, immediately untangling himself from his boyfriend in search of the TV remote.
Buck, Eddie, and a lazy morning spent watching movies.

Summary
What Buck and Eddie have said the most, during their endless time in Palm Springs, is probably “I love you.”
Second to that is “in case this one is real.”
They’ve ruined the wedding rehearsal half a dozen times, both accidentally and on purpose, and they’ve ensured it went off without a hitch. Once, they even talked Maddie and Chimney into getting married that day. They’ve both died twice, which is not something they’re eager to repeat, especially if it ends up sticking. It doesn’t matter what they do— every morning they wake up in perpetual paradise again.
So: there’s no end in sight.
So: Buck and Eddie live nearly every day as if it will become reality.

Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.
