Summary
Buck cautiously peers into the small opening, catching a glimpse of Eddie staring at himself in the mirror, fingers gripping the edge of the porcelain sink as he shakes his head and says, “I can’t believe I’m in love with a Buckley.”
It's a miracle Buck doesn’t pass out on the spot.
He takes a stumbling step back into Eddie’s room, somehow managing to close the door quietly in his haze. Although it’s entirely possible that he just slammed it because he can’t hear anything over the whooshing in his ears.
He doesn’t know how he didn’t see it before.
Eddie is in love with Maddie.
-:-:-:-:-:-
Or, 5 times Buck thinks Eddie is in love with Maddie, +1 time he's sure he's not.

Summary
“Come on, baby,”
Buck sobs.
“Come on, come on, come on-“
He starts compressions.
“One, two, three-“
His tears fall onto Eddie’s face.
“Breathe,”
Buck begs.
“Please. Please.”
Eddie doesn’t respond.
Hen is beside him.
Chim too.
Ravi behind them.
Harry’s standing frozen.
“Buck-“
Hen’s hand grips his shoulder.
“No!”
Buck snaps.
“I’m not stopping.”
He keeps going.
Counting.
The number echoes in his head.
Three minutes and seventeen seconds.
He doesn’t know how long it’s been.
Eddie doesn’t move.
“Buck.”
Hen’s voice cracks.
He shakes his head violently.
“No. He was just here. He was just-we were-we were eating cake.”
Chim’s eyes are wet.
“Buck…”
Hen squeezes harder.
“Buck, he’s gone.”
The words feel identical.
Like something he’s heard before.
“No he’s not,”
Or: Eddie dies (or does he?)

Summary
"I'm Buck."
"Buck," Eddie tests the name out. Buck. He likes that name. It sounds good, warm and safe and comfortingly familiar on his tongue. "You're my husband."
Buck's eyes widen, obviously surprised that Eddie remembered that. See, look? He's recovering remarkably quickly. He'll have his full memory back in no time.
"Your husband," Buck repeats and Chris, for some reason, starts giggling.
"My husband," Eddie agrees happily.

Eddie suffers temporary amnesia after an injury at work and makes some assumptions about the nature of his and Buck's relationship.

Summary
"Please tell me you aren't seriously apologizing to me for crying right now."
Buck swallows and ducks his head, suddenly sheepish. Half a moment later, a warm, solid weight materializes on his shoulder. Eddie's palm radiates heat through the thick fabric of Buck's sweater. It's instantly grounding.
"You're allowed to cry, Buck," Eddie says quietly. "We've been through a lot today."
"It's not fair when we're arguing," Buck mumbles, refusing to look up.
Eddie sighs, his grip on Buck's shoulder tightens, his thumb pressing in against Buck's collarbone. "We're best friends. You never have to pretend with me."

or, after the intervention and going to the hospital with Hen, Buck and Eddie return home to have a long overdue conversation.
