    Summary

    And Buck can't breathe around the feeling that rises in his chest. It starts small, just a warmth, a flicker, but then it spreads and threatens to overwhelm him.

    Because it's not just that Eddie looks beautiful. It's not just the way his voice wraps around Buck like tangible safety, or how that easy smile makes something in him ache. It's that this gentle, golden moment is everything Buck has ever wanted without even knowing it.

    Just him.

    Just Eddie.

    And something in Buck cracks wide open. A truth spills out before he can stop it, soft like marshmallow but certain like stone.

    "I love you.”

    Oh, shit.

    Or; Buck says I love you over FaceTime, hangs up, spirals, flies to El Paso and gets his man.

    Summary

    “Everything about being with Eddie feels right, and good, so so good, Maddie. It’s not timing or logistics, or even—I know he’d say yes if I did ask to move in.”

    “But you feel like you can’t?”

    Buck shakes his head.

    “Because I’m cursed.”

     

    (or, buck needs a loophole. eddie needs to know buck needs a loophole.)

    Summary

    “I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.

    Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”

    “Buck, I—”

    “She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”

    -----

    A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

    Summary

    “Let me come with you,” Buck says, practically begging. “Look, I know it’s your son and your truck and your crazy plan, but it’s Christmas, and maybe it’s insane, but I’d rather be with you getting a neck cramp from sleeping in your passenger seat than on my couch alone or begging Maddie to let me sit in on her and Chimney’s plans. And then I can play my road trip playlist and find all the cheapest gas stations and make sure you don’t cost yourself two-hundred bucks by speeding on the I-10, and…it’ll be fun. I promise. Just—” Buck bites his lip and softens his voice. “Just let me come.”

    Eddie just raises an eyebrow at him and motions to the passenger seat. “Well,” he says, “you better get in.”

    or, christopher has a request: to be back in LA in time for christmas. eddie drives sixteen-hundred miles to make it happen (and of course, buck comes along too).
