    Summary

    “Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree.

    And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw:

    “I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.”

    Summary

    Buck glances over his shoulder and smiles. “Sorry, lost in thought.”

    “I would be too looking at a man that handsome,” she says with a glance at his phone as they move up. “Your partner?”

    Buck feels his cheeks heat. What the hell – Eddie isn’t here to hear him, probably wouldn’t care anyway. It’s easier than explaining the truth to this stranger. “Yeah.”

    “And he sent you to do all the Christmas shopping alone?” she teases with a grin.

    “Oh, no he’s, uh – he’s gone.”

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”

    “She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.

    Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.

    or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    “It’s yours,” Eddie had finally said, looking down at it for a moment before handing the phone to him. “I… There’s a lot of stuff you might want to go through on there.”

    Buck frowned, confused, but when he looked down at the screen, he saw it.

    [250 missed calls]
    [635 unread messages]

    “Wha–”

    “A lot of people used it as a… A way to communicate with you while you were gone.”

    Eddie’s voice was tense. Buck couldn’t stop staring, reading the top message from Eddie over and over again, the only one that he could see. It didn’t make sense.

    “You don’t have to go through it all but… We missed you, ba– Buck.” Buck slowly looked up from his phone, and there was that look again. Eddie had reached out, the same way he had when Buck came back, fingers brushing across his face gently. Buck wanted to melt into it. He did, later, but in that moment, he had to keep himself together.

    “I want to.”

    “Okay,” Eddie’s hand had dropped. Buck’s skin felt cold. “Come get me when you’re done.”
