Summary
Eddie pauses. “What’s wrong? Was the bakery closed already?”
Buck’s left thigh seizes. He laughs to disguise the whimper in his voice. He aches. He wants. He wants.
“No, nothing, man,” Buck huffs. The extra air makes his voice sound stronger than it is. He inhales deeply. “Nothing’s wrong. I have the bread, I’m on my way back, just…”
“Traffic?”
Sort of, Buck almost says.
-OR-
Buck is in a car accident. He knows he"s going to die. He calls Eddie, just to hear his voice again.

As bills pile up, the best move is for them to get married, just for convenience, they’ll divorce when Eddie comes back from his re-enlistment.

When Eddie gets the offer from Bobby, they decide to lie and pretend they don’t know each other, so they can work together.
The whole lie gets out of hand as feelings start to become real, until it all comes to a head in the aftermath of the fire engine explosion.
AKA: Secret marriage of convenience buddie slow burn AU, where Buck and Eddie have been married for years so Buck could adopt Chris and no one at the 118 knows.
