After the 118 found out about buck's self harming relapse they decided to ask buck to talk to a therapist about this and he agreed. Eddie's plan of proposing to buck is on hold for a moment. He knows that buck needs him right now more than ever.
It's been a few weeks as buck jugle being a firefighter and going to therapist twice a week. It's going great, true it was hard at first but eddie help him but removing any sharp object in his apartment and being with him when he is off duty.
Buck always say he doesn't need a company but eddie always hesitate. He won't let anything happen to buck.
At the firehouse.
The 118 are eating Lunch and buck has no shift today.
"So eddie.. when will you propose to buck.. you were planning that last few weeks ago?" Chim ask trying to make it less awkward.
"I don't want to pressure buck right now with the therapy session, his job is already stressful and his fighting his addiction so he is pretty busy at the moment" Eddie replied as he is a bit sad.
"Hey don't be sad eddie. You will find the right time to tell him" Hen replied as he looks at eddie and smile.
"Thanks" eddie hugs hen and the others join in too.
"Hey what about me?" buck ask as he walks upstairs seeing the 118 group hugging.
"Buck! Why are you here so early should " Eddie said and kiss him.
"Hey eddie. The therapy finish early so I thought I could join lunch with you guys" Buck replied.
"Sure come grab a plate" Bobby said.
Buck grabs a plate and sits next to eddie.
"So how therapy?" Hen ask.
"Well she said that we had a breakthrough" Buck replied.
"That's great keep it up buckley" Chim cheered.
The alarm suddenly rings and everybody heads to the truck.
Buck waves goodbye and head out as well when a familiar face walks upstairs.
"Carol!" Buck said.
"Buck great to see you" Carlos replied.
"Yeah you too men so why are you here? Is Tk or captain owen here too?" buck ask.
"Oh It's just me. Tk and sir owen both have a shift... I got a few business here in LA so I thought I should drop by to say hi to everybody.... that are out" Carlos replied as he looks around and saw none of the 118 except buck wearing casual clothes.
"Oh yeah they had a call few minutes ago" Buck said.
"So do you want to hang out buck I still have a few hours to spare before I go get the papers?" Carlos ask.
"Sure it's better than sitting in my apartment all day" buck agreed.

"So how are you?" Carlos ask.
"I'm fine" buck replied as he sip in his drink.
"Well your sipping tells me something else" Carlos said.
"Alright fine. A bit hard but manageable" buck gave in.
"So what's bothering you? Is it eddie or the 118?" Carlos ask.
"No it's me. I'm an addict" Buck said.
"Addict to what? because tk was an addict to substance maybe he can help you?" Carlos ask
"I'm addicted to ......self harming.." Buck whispered the last part.
"What? you were self harming?" Carlos said.
"Yes. But the therapy and the 118 are helping me to get better" Buck said as he shows carlos his arm filled with cuts.
