Summary
Buck admits sometimes he has his dumbass moments.
He likes to think he’s a overall averagely intelligent man (modest too) but he understands the signal when Hen lets go of a ever-suffering sigh, when Eddie’s roasting comments sit plain on his expressive face, or the scrunched up face Chim has when he’s mentally refraining from face-palming. Those signals are a dead giveaway that words came out of his mouth before his brain filtered them.
And this situation was no exception.
Or
The beginnings of a love story.

Summary
“I’m looking forward to working with you Buck.” Eddie reaches a hand out to Buck in greeting, refusing to seem intimidated by the younger man. Buck sits up from where he was sitting on the couch and simply stares at the outstretched hand. He looks up to see Eddie’s face, without shaking his hand, and states “only my friends call me Buck.”
He knows the befuddled expression painting his face would be humorous in any other context, but right now he doesn’t know what the hell he did to warrant the freezing cold shoulder. A low whistle comes from a nurse in the corner of the room.
