Eddie had decided sometime between Halloween and Thanksgiving that he wanted to propose to Buck at Christmas. The holiday had always meant a little extra to them, a touchstone in the various stages of their relationship, and it felt right to Eddie to incorporate this step into the day. Eddie hadn’t been overly concerned with hiding the ring, it was only for 10 days. But then he tried to do it. There was nowhere safe in the house, it was Buck’s home as much as his and Christopher’s and it just wasn’t that big. He tried his locker at the firehouse and immediately thought better of it – Buck’s locker was just too close. Finally, he snuck off to Bobby’s office while he was there to beg the other man to hold onto the ring for him.
Or, the Firefam accidentally plays a game of keep away with the engagement ring. (December 13 - Lost Gifts)
