Summary
Finally, Eddie looks at him. Then at the cans. Then at Buck again. He looks nervous, his throat bobbing around a big swallow, like he’s about to give a speech.
There’s no reason for him to give a speech. They’re in a Costco.
“I think I love you.”
Oh. Well that’s not what Buck was expecting.
He stands there holding six — no, wait, he grabbed more than six, he’s holding at least eight cans of Kirkland Signature crushed tomato at this point. There’s so much tomato.
Buck blinks. Weird timing, he thinks, but he’ll take it. That’s a nice thing to say, that’s — yeah. That’s nice. They’re best friends. That’s — sure. Okay. Weird, but sure.
Buck smiles, moving to pat Eddie on the shoulder before he remembers all the sauce. “Thanks, man. Love you, too.”
“No,” Eddie says.
Buck blinks. Eddie blinks back.
“No, I mean—” Eddie is looking at the shelf, at the floor, at a point on Buck’s chin. “I mean, I think I’m in love with you.”
Buck’s face is hot. His arms are full of cans.
“I don’t think we need this much sauce,” he whispers.
Or,
One Costco trip. One love confession. So many fucking tomatoes.Bookmarked by Ely33

“Admit it, then,” Taylor needles, smile wide and winning, “you’re in love with Eddie.”
Buck deadpans, the cameras are still on and no matter how chaotic this entire segment is, even he knows this is absolutely not live TV material, “he’s straight.”
Taylor laughs, then looks Buck up and down, “does that rebuttal usually work on your friends?”
————
Taylor Kelly calls Buck out on live TV.
Across town Eddie and the rest of the 118 watch the news broadcast, baffled.

Summary
"What do we have?" Eddie asks eventually, swinging his gaze over to Buck.
"What?" Buck rolls his shoulders back, posture stiffening.
"You told Maddie that you could understand Tommy being threatened by what we have," Eddie says slowly. "So I just wondered what that is?"
~
Or, after Eddie finds out about Buck's ill-advised backslide with his ex while he was away in Texas, Buck and Eddie get into it while making dinner. And then again after dinner. They have a lot to sort out, okay?

"Mischievous creatures, wind spirits." She says, "They think your 'outlook on life' will change in three days' time. I agree with them."
"Yeah?" Eddie says, "What's going to happen in three days?"
"The better question will be what will not happen." Gracie smirks, "You don't want to listen to the wind chimes? Very well. You will lose the sound of the voice of the one you love."
—
"Say something." Eddie pleads with Buck, looking at his lips with intense focus, "Say anything."
Eddie watches him mouth the word 'anything', and then he watches him say 'Eddie', and no sound comes out at all.
