    Summary

    Chris gives him a look holding the type of ire you can only receive from a teenager. “No…” he says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “You’re my other dad.”

    Buck feels his throat tighten and his eyes prickle. He tries not to show it - he knows he will immediately drain any coolness cache he has left with Chris if he does. He basks in the honor of Chris considering him for any kind of paternal role for a moment before the other half of the equation dawns on him. “Wait…you told her I’m married to your dad?”

    —-

    Chris convinces Buck to pretend to be married to Eddie to impress his classmate.

    Summary

    Buck sighs, tipping his head back slightly. "I got us lost, then I got us harassed by a bunch of idiots, and you had to deal with it all by yourself."

    "Because you were kidnapped."

    Because I love you, Buck barely manages to hold back. The real thing he had to apologize for, that he couldn't allow to escape from his lips. Sorry, I'm in love with you, so I can't help but want to spend more time with you. Sorry, I'm in love with you, and everyone can see it. Sorry, I'm in love with you, and I'd rather you never find me than get hurt on my behalf. I know it's selfish. I just love you. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

    9x13 coda: two apologies for being in love.

    Summary

    He sighs, frustrated, with the world, with himself, with the stupid, mediocre beer he’s drinking that cost him twelve damn dollars, before tip even.

    “The club isn’t the problem,” Eddie mumbles, staring across the dance floor, where Buck is curving his hand around the woman’s head and whispering in her ear.

    “Is the problem that your wingman is a traitor?” Ravi asks, snickering at the sight.

    “No. The problem is I don’t want to pick up women.” Eddie really hopes that’s enough information. Ravi is a smart guy. He kind of hopes he’ll piece it together. Though another part of him, a soft, new part of him, hopes Ravi doesn’t. He hopes he has to say it. He should probably get some practice in, right? 

    Ravi looks at him then, studying him. “You’re really happy being single?”

    Eddie exhales. Smiles small and shakes his head. 

    “No, it’s not that,” he says. “I’m just gay.”

    OR Eddie comes out at the club during 9x07. Just not to Buck.

    Summary

    “Can you see a window?” Buck asks.

    Eddie glances around. Nothing. Just darkness. “Ceiling caved in where a window probably used to be. No other doors. I’m—” he rests his head against the cement between them, sighing. “I’m stuck, bud.”

    Silence ensues. For a few long seconds, neither of them says anything. Eddie is so tired of not saying anything. If he’s going to die here, he’s going to say the shit he’s been pushing down for years, even if Buck hates him for it. Buck deserves to know. Eddie deserves to have said it. Just once. Just fucking once.

    He can’t die a coward. He already lived like one.

    “I love you,” Eddie says, voice too quiet. On the other side of the wall, Buck’s breathing stutters. Eddie squeezes his eyes shut, heart hammering. “I love you. I’m sorry I— I’m sorry I’m telling you now. Like this.” 

    Or: in what Eddie Diaz thinks are his final moments, he finally confesses.

    Summary

    Eddie wakes suddenly and violently, nearly throwing himself off the bed before he grasps at the sheets, eyes finding Buck in the dark. 

    Buck, who is sitting up in bed, panting, with a hand pressed to his chest. 

    “Buck? Buck, you okay?” Eddie rasps, voice thick with sleep. 

    “Racism wasn’t enough,” Buck slurs, barely coherent. “Had to frame me for murder, too.” A pause. Then, a huff of breath, followed by, “Naturally.” 

    Eddie blinks. Blinks again. “What?” 

    As if he’d never said anything at all, Buck lies back down, eyes already closed. Within seconds, he’s snoring. 

    Eddie wrestles with the urge to wake him again. Clearly, he’d been having some sort of nightmare, but— it seems he shook himself out of it? Probably? 

    “Okay,” Eddie breathes to himself, slowly settling back under the covers. “Night, then.”

    OR: Buck has a nightmare about Tommy and subsequently breaks up with him. Unrelated to this (allegedly), Eddie dreams about The Bachelor.
