Summary
“Eddie,” Buck says, catching hold of Eddie’s arm and swinging him around so they’re facing each other. “People already have questions about us. It’s just that now, sometimes the answer will be yes.”
Eddie laughs again. “I haven’t even said yes yet, Buck.”
“Yet,” Buck echoes, grinning.OR: After Bobby and Athena almost die on their cruise, Buck decides to stop wasting time and marry Eddie.

Summary
Buck leans into Eddie’s touch, just for a second, before clearing his throat. “They want me to take temporary emergency custody. Just until better arrangements are made.”
The loft falls eerily silent. It would be almost comical, the way the entire team has simultaneously held their breath, if he didn’t feel like a lead weight was resting on his shoulders.
Hen, ever pragmatic, is the first to recover. She looks at him with an expression Buck can only call cautious, gentle and kind around the edges. “Temporary?”
“I couldn’t abandon her.” He can feel something just behind his teeth, waiting to spill out, but he can’t quite name it. “Not if I could do something about it.”
(or, buck fosters a traumatised teen and together they start to heal.)
