Summary
“Hey, so tell me this is none of my business, but…” Ravi started, from the seat next to Eddie in the back of the car.
“It’s none of your business” Eddie muttered in response; his cheek pressed against the car window.
“But…” Ravi insisted, earning a groan from Eddie.
Ravi persisted, nonetheless.
“Is there… is there something going on with you two? You and Buck, I mean” Ravi asked, tentatively.
“What are you talking about?” Eddie queried, suddenly becoming much more alert.
“I mean… you spent the whole night staring at him, you didn’t seem particularly interested in talking to anyone else, especially any of the women… is there… is there something going on there?” Ravi asked quietly.
OR:
Stage One: Denial
Stage Two: Anger
Stage Three: Bargaining
Stage Four: Depression
Stage Five: AcceptanceEddie’s repressed sexuality and true feelings for Buck are slowly unlocked through 5 passing encounters with various members of the extended 118 family. Each encounter represents a different stage of the grief process, as Eddie learns to grieve the version of himself he thought he knew and how to accept the version of himself he really was all along.

Summary
“Are you finally proposing?” Buck asks, and the air rushes out of Eddie like he’s been punched in the gut, a swift burst.
Hearing it from Buck makes it real, solidified, no longer a shapeless fantasy in his head.
"Proposing what?”
“Marriage, genius.” Buck snorts. “Duh.”
Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.
