Summary
How long have you been in love with her?
Is sitting in the air as they laugh, turning to each other like they’ve done something, and dropping the subject entirely in favor of grilling Grant on his upcoming wedding.
How long have you been in love with her?
Is sitting in the air as he blindly grabs for his beer, dragging it to his mouth and downing what’s left in the bottle in one desperate gulp.
How long have you been in love with her?
Is rewording itself, reworking itself, translating itself until it fits;
How long have you been in love with him?
--
Or, Eddie's in El Paso and suddenly everything makes sense.

Summary
“Now that is a handsome man.”
The first thing Hen notices about New Recruit Eddie Diaz is that he is in possession of a remarkable set of abdominal muscles. The next thing she notices is the wedding ring.
And Buck is staring at him like a piece of meat.
“Oh, nuh-uh,” she says immediately. “Don’t even think about it, Buckley.”

Summary
Chim helps the girl up first, and Bobby helps Buck up next. She’s placed safely in one of her dads’ arms, hugging him tightly while the other comes in to hug them both.
It startles Eddie a little, taking in the sight, and hearing Buck say, just to him, “I want that.”
“Huh?” Eddie looks back at him.
“Kids,” Buck says, a soft smile on his face as he looks at the two men consoling their kid, “I want that.”
And for some goddamn reason, the thought of Buck wanting kids - with Tommy - makes Eddie see red.
Or - Eddie doesnt know why he's angry that Buck wants kids with Tommy (or does he?)

Summary
“I’m mortified, Eddie, I really thought Buck would have talked to you about it,” Maddie says. She looks genuinely regretful, her eyebrows pulling together with concern. “Obviously, he clarified things for me, told me that he wasn’t pining for his straight best friend, and I’m just…I’m so sorry. It wasn’t my place to speculate on your relationship like that.”
There must be a worm that’s wrapped itself around his thoughts — that’s constrained his neural pathways to just the thought of Buck’s in love with you — because something takes over Eddie’s mouth. Something entirely foreign and jarring prompts him to say with too much incredulity: “Buck said he wasn’t in love with me?”
Maddie gapes at him.
Eddie snaps his mouth shut with so much force his teeth click.
or: Maddie tells Eddie about the conversation she had with Buck. Eddie spirals about it.

"Run that by me one more time?"
“Buck and I got married yesterday,” Eddie repeated, as calm as he’d been the first three times he’d said it. “So we’re officially disclosing our relationship to the LAFD.”
Bobby ran an exhausted hand across his eyes. “Yeah, that’s what I thought you said.”
Eddie learns what Tommy said to Buck after their hookup and reacts like any normal best friend would.
