Summary
Buck is too busy disliking Eddie’s latest message to hear what Ravi just said. He clicks his phone off and shoves it away. “What was that?”
“A bet,” Ravi repeats. “We have a bet about you. You know, for how long it’ll take for you and Eddie to admit that you’re in love with each other.” He sniffs. “Chim’s already lost once. He put a new guess in like two months ago. Harry just got in on it too. It’s kind of like the 118 hazing ritual, if you think about it. They got me in my second week as probie.” A pause. “Wow, I definitely wasn’t supposed to tell you that.”
Ravi drunkenly reveals that the 118 have a bet on when Buck and Eddie are going to get together. Naturally, Buck has a normal reaction to this.

Summary
Vernon stared at him for a long moment. He turned his face up to the ceiling. "I count one- two- three-" His mouth moved silently. "Fifteen more Saturdays. Plus the one you still owe me."
Bender made a noise that maybe sounded like a laugh, and felt like rage. "Whatever," he tried to say.

Poole had disappeared by the time he had his breath back, and Elizabeth rubbed his shoulders and said quietly, "It's going to be okay, John; he's going to make it," in the comforting way that didn't actually mean anything, and John said numbly, "I'm an idiot, I never even," touched him, he wanted to say, kissed him, told him, but then he couldn't have, because he hadn't even known himself.

Bookmarker's Notes
most charming and soul crushing read ever
—
And apparently this was part of the deal: he couldn't love Hyp and not know exactly what he'd be doing to Rodney. And knowing, he couldn't do it; he couldn't even imagine it, any of it -- standing in this room watching Rodney pack up a couple of bags and leave, going to an empty apartment and an empty life -- Rodney, who had fucking carried him half the way here --
John ended up sitting on the couch, shivering, not even sure how he'd gotten there. He stayed hunched over with his face in his hands all the rest of the night, while the windows got pale and blue and the sun rolled over him like a death sentence, and then he got up and went to tell Kathy it was over.
