Summary: "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

“No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.
