Summary
“It’s like those ‘I love you’ post-it notes you see parents putting in kids' lunchboxes to try to embarrass them or to just remind them they’re loved. Or both in some cases,” Ravi laughs. “I’m sure Chris loved it though, Eddie told me one time that Chris loved all your animal facts when you guys would go to the zoo.”
Buck smiles softly at the memories of the zoo with Chris and Eddie. And now that he thinks about it, Buck has seen those videos and deep down wished his parents had done something like that—it’s cute. Chris deserves something like that, something to remind him that he is loved.
Buck makes the decision then and there: any day he makes Chris’ lunch, he’s going to put a fun fact in there for him.

Summary
The problem is, Buck broke the touch barrier. Before, Eddie’s ass existed in his reality as much as a mirage exists in the desert—something to observe at a distance with wonder. He could only dream about what it would be like to kneel at its shore and drink from its waters, but who wouldn’t? He’s thirsty as hell!
But then, Buck actually managed to reach it and discovered it isn’t a mirage, it’s an oasis, and now he’s just supposed to move on?
Buck has always known Eddie has a nice ass, and he is secure enough in his sexuality to let him know as such. It’s no big deal… Until it is.

Summary
“But then, Ravi, he said the most insane shit to me the next morning,” Buck says, his scowl becoming more pronounced. “Like it actually really pissed me off.”
And — despite himself — Ravi’s intrigued. It’s not his fault, he just likes gossip. “What did he say?” Ravi asks, finally looking away from the hose.
Buck blinks at him for a moment and the nail picking intensifies. Ravi has a bad feeling about this.
“He thinks Eddie was his competition,” Buck finally says. “Like I’m in love with Eddie, or something. Isn’t that crazy?”
Oh. Oh, this is really bad actually.
Or: Ravi has to deal with Buck spiralling about being in love with Eddie. He’s mainly just worried if he’s going to survive his next shift.

Summary
“You missed some,” Eddie said.
Buck let out a breath that was almost a laugh.
“Did I?”
“Yeah.”
“Where?”
Eddie held up his hand.
Buck looked at the frosting on Eddie’s knuckle.
His eyes stayed there a second longer than they needed to.
Then he stepped closer, his hip almost brushing Eddie’s knee.
“Here?” Buck asked.
His voice had gone softer.
Eddie nodded once.
Buck caught Eddie’s wrist again.
This time, Eddie noticed the way Buck held him. Thumb against his pulse. Fingers loose, like Eddie could pull away if he wanted to.
He did not want to.
Buck bent his head and put his mouth to Eddie’s knuckle.

Summary
“Am I really so awful to you?” Buck hates how fragile his voice comes out. This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to fall apart today, but here he is. The grand court jester, riding his unicycle on the tight rope of death and hoping it doesn't hurt too bad when it kills him.
Eddie turns to him, his eyes a storm that Buck can't look away from if he tried, “Awful? Buck you would ruin me–”
The bells ring, effectively cutting Eddie off from whatever scathing remark he had planned to sear into Buck's soul like a hot brand.

Summary
Mi media naranja. Half an orange, right? Like—two sides of the same coin, or something. A complementary coupla guys. A little silly, maybe, referring to a grown adult as a piece of fruit, but the sentiment is sweet enough.
“Hey,” Buck asks the girl beside him. “Um, Alba. She called Rosie ‘mi media naranja’. Like—half an orange? Is that a common saying in Mexico?”
“Oh, sure,” she nods. “It’s a pretty normal term of endearment. Cheesy as hell, but, well.” She gestures at where Eddie and the two women are sitting. Alba’s holding Rosie’s hand now. “When you’ve known each other that long and fit together that well… it’s just sweet.”
My most best friend. That’s what Alba said. That’s—well, that’s who Eddie is to him, essentially. And if what Eddie’s missing is a little affection in a language that feels like home, well. Buck can give that to him.
or, buck notices the lack of spanish terms of endearment in eddie’s life since his abuela died. so, he’s armed with what he’s been reliably informed is a totally normal thing to call your buddy. Operation Make My Best Friend Feel Cherished, as he’s named it on a trial basis in the privacy of his own head, is a-go

“There’s no way you want me as much as I want you.”
Eddie scoffs. “Try me.”
“I want to, like, hold onto your ankles and never let go.”
Without missing a beat, Eddie offers: “I want to handcuff myself to you so that you can never go anywhere without me.”
Or, Buck worries about wanting too much. Eddie literally and metaphorically scoffs in his face.

“...My husband here is always talking about coming to this restaurant.” Buck tells the waiter, holding his breath while waiting for Eddie’s response.
Eddie blushes immediately, “Yeah, I just love the food…” he says, nodding. Buck’s heart skips. He thinks Eddie will leave it at that, but he adds to the lie, “See, we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary tonight.”
(Or, Buck and Eddie keep referring to each other as husbands, it’s undoubtedly nice… They’re not together, no. It’s a best friend thing.)

Summary
"Can I try something?"
"Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.
"Close your eyes."
"E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.
"I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"
Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.
Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.
Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.

‘ADOPTION REQUEST’ and ‘ADOPTION AGREEMENT’ are written at the tops of the pages.
Buck looks at Chris, then at Eddie. The two of them are wearing matching smiles, both bright and warm and loving.
Chris asks Buck to adopt him on Father's Day.

Summary
“I can’t keep doing this, Eddie. Your sweatpants are in my dresser. You buy the right spices at the farmer’s market for my recipes. You wear the monstrosities I knit for you. You hold my kid’s hand when we’re crossing the street.”
Eddie’s lips are at the hinge of his jaw, like he’s testing the waters. It makes Buck brave enough to bring a numb hand up to one of the belt loops on Eddie’s darkwash jeans, thumbing there restlessly—sliding the tips of his fingers under the hem of his obsidian button-down. The skin-to-skin contact is all at once relieving.
“I think we’ve both known what we are for a while now,” Buck goads, hushed; tilting to arch his neck back against the wall, granting Eddie unlimited access, praying he takes the explicit invitation. “You’re my best friend. But this isn’t sustainable.”
or: Buck's sick of pretending.

Summary
In a moment of weakness, distracted by the look in Eddie’s eyes Buck stuttered “I love you.”
He wasn’t proud of it. Buck promised he wouldn’t make things harder for Eddie. He knew that there was nothing he could say that would make him stay, he wouldn’t want that either anyway. As much as Buck wants to be selfish and ask Eddie to stay with him, he never could, he’d never do that to Eddie and Chris.
But he does love Eddie. Buck loves Eddie so much that he’d let him leave because that’s what you're supposed to do when you love somebody. You let them leave when they have to, even if it kills you.
Eddie’s lips curled at Buck’s words. If Buck wasn’t mistaken, he could see Eddie’s eyes well up as well. “You too,” he whispered.
He patted his hand on Buck’s shoulder for the last time before removing it, forever. Buck felt a sense of loneliness creeping over him at the loss of Eddie’s final touch. Eddie looked up at him one last time, matching tears in both of their eyes before stepping back—stepping away forevermore.
OR: When Eddie moves to El Paso, he stops answering Buck’s calls. It causes Buck to lose his mind just a bit.

"Eddie?" Buck answered, a faint, subconscious smile coming at Eddies answering giggle.
"Buck!" Eddie cheered, in his usual way of nearly booming Buck's name. Buck didnt know why he always seemed to do that, but Buck honestly didnt care. He liked it.
"You having fun Eds?" Buck said amused and Eddie hummed, a clatter sounding and quiet, muffled cursing before it suddenly came clear again.
"Did you drop me Eddie?" Buck asked with a laugh and Eddie gasped. "No! I'd never drop you, hold you forever," Eddie sighed and Buck flushed, reminding himself Eddie was drunk and didnt mean it like that.

Eddie let loose a little extra during his bi weekly wine session with Hen, Karen and Maddie. This also lets his filter loose.

“My dick is gone,” Eddie says, hushed but frantic.
Buck splutters, wide unblinking eyes still glued to Eddie’s crotch, eyebrows knit together harshly and dragging high on his forehead. Eddie would laugh at his ridiculous face if he didn’t feel like he was going to throw up. “It’s not gone, you have a—”
“Don’t say it,” Eddie warns weakly.

Eddie's talking about Marisol, about how he should have seen it coming, about how he's tired of trying to make things work that aren't meant to work. Buck is listening, mostly, but he's also watching the way Eddie's throat moves when he swallows, the way his fingers drum restlessly against the table.
"What about you?" Eddie asks suddenly. "How's Tommy?"
Buck blinks.

Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."

Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series

Summary
It’s almost like — like Buck’s holding a possible thing in his hands, fragile and fledgling, born too early. It’s not the first time he’s felt this way, with Eddie. It’s happened before, mostly in kitchens.
“Did that guy tell you the name of the suite he put us in?”
The corner of Eddie’s mouth lifts. There, Buck supposes, is his answer.
“Yeah. Honeymooners, huh? Should we tell him about our disaster of a trip?”
His stomach lurches. God. Eddie’s taking this in stride; Buck should be thankful for it. Instead, he’s afraid he’ll be sick all over their shoes.
or: a pining buck has to navigate the Emotional Saw Trap that is the road trip back from new mexico. eddie, quite literally, comes along for the ride.
