Summary
“Need one practice kiss for good luck?” Buck asked softly, a twinkle sparkling in his eyes.
Eddie gaped at him, feigning horror to disguise the actual panic settling behind his ribcage. “Was my kiss last time not satisfactory enough?”
“Well,” Buck said with a wince, “your date that night flopped, so obviously not.”
“I didn’t even kiss her, Buck!” Eddie protested.
“Not my problem.”
“You’re so annoying.” Eddie inched closer, his hands coming up to seize the front of Buck’s shirt. “C’mere.”
Or; Eddie starts dating again and Buck lets him practice kissing him for good luck

Summary
"I know it's normal." His voice is sharp, suddenly. "I know all of this is normal. The stages of grief, the timeline, the— I've read the literature. I know what's supposed to happen. I just don't understand why knowing doesn't make it hurt less."
Linda sets down her pen. "Because grief isn't an intellectual exercise, Jack. You can't think your way through it. You have to feel it."
"I don't want to feel it."
"I know."

Jack's therapist watches as he rebuilds and finds Samira along the way.

Summary
Bullshit. All this time, he had been in love with Buck, had been for years, and now it is too late. Buck is with someone else, Buck is happy, and there is nothing he can do to change that. He doesn’t want to change that; not when Buck is so fucking excited and happier than he has ever seen him; after everything, he deserves this. He deserves the goddamn world. If only it didn't hurt so fucking bad.
Eddie realizes his feelings for Buck, but he thinks it's too late.

Summary
Eddie spots his mother first, standing near the living room with a glass of wine frozen halfway to her mouth. Her eyes track from Eddie's face to Buck's face to their joined hands, and Eddie watches her go through the five stages of grief in the span of two seconds.
Her right hand moves automatically, decades of muscle memory taking over as she touches her forehead, then her chest, then her left shoulder, then her right, her lips pressing together as she mutters what Eddie can only assume is a prayer for his immortal soul.
Across the room, Eddie catches Shannon's eye. She's standing by the fireplace with a drink in her hand and Chris at her side, and she looks like she's having to physically restrain herself from applauding. Her free hand is pressed over her mouth, shoulders shaking with laughter. When she catches Eddie looking she raises her glass in a tiny salute, eyes sparkling with mischief.
Chris, bless him, has no such restraint. His face splits into a massive grin and he turns to his mother and says, in a voice that is so loud it echoes, "Mom, you didn't tell me Dad's boyfriend was cool."
Or,
Eddie needs a fake boyfriend. Maddie's brother is happy to help.- Language:
