    Summary

    Bakugou Katsuki, in typical fashion, makes a brash decision that changes his life irrevocably. Anger has always had a way of bringing Bakugou what he wants, though. He just hadn't realized dating someone would be so fucking difficult.

     

    (Or, that one where Bakugou agrees to pretend to date Todoroki just to piss off Endeavor, and ends up falling in love instead.)

    Summary

    Buck, predictably, answers within two rings. “Yellow. You’ve got Buck.”

    “Hey, Buck.”

    “You okay?”

    Eddie lifts his head to confirm the state of his house. The orange tree is still very much there, amidst the wreckage of his home. The sole perpetrator, even. 

    “Sure,” he says. 

    Buck hesitates. “...Sure?”

    “There’s a tree.”

    “Where?”

    “Inside my house.”

    “Oh.” Eddie can practically see Buck’s eyebrows furrowing. “Like, you bought a tree?”

    “No,” Eddie says. He hasn’t blinked since Buck picked up the phone. “It’s the orange tree.”

    A beat of silence. “It’s inside your house.”

    Eddie lets out an exhausted huff, leaning back in his chair. “Apparently.”

    OR: there’s an orange tree. It’s in Eddie’s house.

    Summary

    "Leave it," Eddie says, his voice pulled taut like a wire about to snap, tight enough to hum.

    Buck looks at him, and Eddie’s whole body has gone so rigid he looks carved from stone, but Buck will ruminate on that later. But he can't exactly leave his phone under the seat for the next eight hundred miles, it's got his whole life on it, every stupid photo he's ever taken of Christopher and Eddie and Eddie and Christopher and, embarrassingly, just Eddie, so many just-Eddies, an entire hidden album of candids he'll never admit to because they constitute evidence of something he's been pretending he doesn't feel.

    "I can't leave it, it's my phone. It's got— hold on, I think it slid under your seat."

    “Buck, don’t.”

    It’s as if Eddie doesn’t even know him, because Buck has never once heard the word don’t and responded with anything resembling obedience. So now he’s stretching across the center console with one hand braced on Eddie’s thigh for leverage, the other reaching blindly into the dark gap beneath the driver’s seat, and he’s aware on some level that his positioning is— that he’s essentially— that his head is—

    He’s in Eddie’s lap.

    Or,
    What's a little road-head between friends?

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”

    Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”

    The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.

    -----

    Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    really great fic. eddie introspection is so well done and all the characters are incredibly written. even small things like the way buck and eddie text each other really highlight how much they care about and enjoy each other and this whole thing is just excellent all around

    Summary

    “I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”

    “Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”

    They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.

    “Well—”

    Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”

    “I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”

     

    or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research
