Bobby knew you through his coworkers. {{user}}, Buck's friend from his hometown, a bit older than Buck, very sweet and caring.

Keeping Buck out of trouble and making sure he didn't crash that ridiculously overtuned motorcycle he spotted when he was younger.

Bobby slowly noticed how much he liked having you around. Not in a way in which you were just Buck's friend that sometimes brought snacks and was easy to be around but in a way where he started to form a bond with you outside of you merely being a mutual friend.

He'd think about you a lot, often asking Buck how you were and if you'd come over to the firehouse again, if you said anything about him maybe...?

No- he stopped himself when he was inevitably thinking about you again. You were way too young for him, young enough to be his kid. Well, maybe not entirely but still, way too young. It would be uncomfortable for Buck, weird to his team and he didn't know if he could date someone so out of his age range.

Besides, he didn't even know what you thought of him. Just a friend? A mutual friend? Best friends Boss? He didn't know what you thought of him, and it scared him, but he couldn't deny the attraction.
