    Summary

    “Is everything okay?” Eddie asks, his tone shifting. The background noise crackling through the phone quiets somewhat, till all Buck can really pick out is the muted rubber impacts against concrete and indistinguishable shit-talking. It sounds fun over there. If you’re into basketball. Which Eddie is.

    “Yeah, it’s fine. Well, no,” Buck says, and he knows that isn’t helpful. He remembers the last and only time he’d gone to one of those games, when he’d very swiftly destroyed both the mood and Eddie’s ankle because he couldn’t handle his own feelings. He wonders when he’ll stop being a lumbering bull in Eddie’s life.

    “Are you alright?” Eddie asks, slow, like he’s talking to a scared child on a call, “Did something happen?”

    “I’m fine. It’s just– My mom died.”

    OR: Margaret Buckley dies. Buck is fine, but Eddie keeps showing up, and Buck really doesn't understand why.

    Summary

    Maddie swings the door open approximately thirty seconds after Buck knocks. 

    “You might throw up,” Buck tells her. 

    “Hi, Buck,” Maddie says mildly. “Why might I throw up?” 

    “You’re lactose intolerant.” 

    “I’m not following.” 

    “I’m milk,” Buck says. “Because, clearly, I have an expiration date.” 

    Her eyebrows furrow. “I thought the auction went well?” 

    Nonsensically, Buck says, “My soul is not well.”

    OR: after the LAFD auction, Eddie reveals who his mystery bidder is. Buck, shockingly, does not take this well.

    Summary

    "Hi, what's up?" Buck replies, trying to sound normal and casual and not at all like he's impatient to get his sister out of his house as quickly as possible.

    "Is someone here?" Maddie asks, looking around suspiciously.

    "What? No!" Buck repositions himself across the hall, unnecessarily blocking off the closed bedroom door.

    "Okay."

    "Who would even be here?” Buck laughs nervously and struggles to shove his hands into the too-tight pockets of Eddie's jeans. “You know I'm not doing the hookup thing anymore. What happened last time was way too disastrous."

    ~

    Or, Maddie decides to stop by for breakfast with her little brother, only problem is, his best friend is naked in his bedroom.
