    Summary

    “Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”

    Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.

    I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.

    “Rocky?” I ask.

    “Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”

    I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.

    “No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”

    Summary

    “And, um, how long have you been in love with me?”

    “Honestly? Probably for years.”

    Years, he watches Buck mouth the word. His eyes slip past Eddie, his expression turning slightly dazed as he tries to process this new information.

    “But I only realized it now.”

    Buck’s eyes flick back to him, eyebrows shooting up in surprise. “Now?”

    “Yeah, like, right now.” He looks down at the watch on his wrist, cocking his head back and forth. “About five minutes ago, give or take.”

    “You realized you’re in love with me while watching me wipe chocolate off Theo’s face?” Buck huffs out a laugh, looking down at the now dirty wet wipe still clutched in his hands in disbelief.

    Or, Eddie realizes he's in love with Buck on a Wednesday afternoon. This is how that goes.

    Summary

    “Look, when I was younger, I thought that if I discovered something important about myself, I would have some kind of revelation, something impossible to ignore.”

    Eddie swallowed again, feeling his throat tighten more and more as the conversation progressed.

    “It wasn't like that?”

    Hen shook her head immediately.

    “It was more like a kind of accumulation of small things or facts that had been hidden for years and that I decided to stop justifying.”

    or; the fic where Buck asks, during a “quiet” shift, what their “hall pass” is and Eddie finds himself facing an existential crisis because of Ryan fucking Gosling.

    Summary

    "Can I tell you something?" Buck slurs drunkenly, leaning into Eddie's space on the couch.

    This is not an unusual position for them to be in, attached at the hip after Buck got over his weird pissing contest that first shift. But they're both so drunk that personal space doesn't exist.

    "Sure, Buck," Eddie snorts.

    "I just see you as one of the guys, you know. You're like a guy to me!" Buck smirks.

    But something zings through him, bravery lighting him on fire. If there's one person he should be able to tell, it's Buck.

    "It's because I am," Eddie tells him, trying to speak normally.

    "Huh?" Buck squints at him. "No, you're a lesbian."

    Eddie purses his lips, shakes his head. "Nope. I'm a man, Buck."

    Buck sits with this for a minute, just mulling it over in his fuzzy brain. "Wait," he finally says. "You're…trans?"

    Eddie nods again, unsure exactly how Buck is taking this. But the anxiety melts immediately when Buck breaks out into a huge, sunshine grin.

    Or: Eddie gets top surgery and Buck helps him through it. Too bad Buck has a boyfriend.
