Summary
Buck kind of never thought it would happen.
There were so many maybes: maybe Eddie liked men, maybe Eddie liked him, maybe Eddie wanted to bond with him, maybe, maybe, maybe. But eventually, those maybes faded away and became a distant memory of a time when Buck was pining for his straight best friend. Because that isn’t Buck’s reality anymore—he has it all: Eddie likes men, Eddie
likesloves him, and Eddie is bonded with him, the imprint of Eddie’s bite over the scent gland on his neck. It makes it all seem so inevitable, so eternal.Or, Buck and Eddie's bodies take longer to catch up to their broken hearts and broken bond.

Summary
The first night that Buck slips back into Eddie’s bedroom after relegating himself to the couch, he piles a pillow barrier between them to protect their dignity, and after five hundred and seventy-one clicks of the ceiling fan, Eddie finally breaks the silence.
“I’m here,” he murmurs. “You can talk to me, or not, but I am here. And I’m not going anywhere.”
Buck bites his lip until it bleeds.
Or, all the small, mundane ways Buck and Eddie love each other anyway: like before, like always.
