Summary
“What do you have to say after winning tonight? Are the Kings set to a good start of the season?” one of the journalist, Ethan if Eddie recognized his voice correctly, asked.
That fucking 9 million a year contract smile was the first thing Eddie saw. The second was the shine in those baby blues people call his eyes. “Oh, I don’t know…” Evan Buckley said with faux modesty, “I think we’re off to destroy the Stars for the rest of the year, if they play like they did tonight.”
A few chuckles, some flash from the camera and then another question, the same that always comes nowadays, “What about Diaz? Do you think he’ll save that team?”
Buckley rolled his eyes at the question, then looked directly in the camera and said, “I doubt Diaz could save a sinking ship, even if he was made captain,” and then the TV was turned off.
OR : a heated rivalry AU, where the two biggest star of the NHL - who happens to be rivals since their rookie year - eventually get into a sort of... enemies with benefits, then friends, then lovers... or maybe they were always lovers.

Summary
Just as Eddie starts to melt back into it, the phone buzzes again. Just as loud. Just as fucking insistent.
Eddie rips his mouth away with a frustrated sound, glaring down at where the phone is tucked away. “Seriously?”
Buck cringes as the buzzing continues. “Sorry. I’ll turn it off.”
He reaches into his pocket, but by the time it’s out, the call has timed out. Buck’s finger goes to hover over the lock button to shut the device off, but then the screen lights up again. Same buzzing. Same ringtone. This time, Tommy’s face and name flash brightly on the screen.
Eddie’s jaw clenches, hand still tightly fisted in Buck’s hair. “Answer it.” He says before he can stop himself.
Buck's head snaps up to look at him, eyes frantic and expression puzzled. “W-what? Now?”
“Buck,” Eddie says, voice firm and insistent, leaning in to ghost a kiss along Buck’s cheek. “Answer the phone.”

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

Summary
And it’s probably the wrong thing to say, but Christopher is just— he’s so angry, he’s so angry and he wants to lash out at someone.
“I wish you and Dad had never even met!” With that, Christopher actually goes into his room, and Buck doesn’t stop him, or say anything.
He lays down on his bed, burying his face in his pillow, and finally lets out the rest of the tears he’d been holding back.
--
or, Christopher makes a wish and the universe grants it

Summary
Buck hears the word once — in the wrong moment, in the wrong state of mind — and it sinks its teeth in. What should have been a passing comment twists into a truth he can’t shake, convincing him that everyone in his life is worn down by the weight of him. As he withdraws, slipping further into a quiet, dangerous spiral, the people who love him fight to remind him of one thing he can’t see on his own: he was never exhausting… only terrified of being left behind.
Exhausting (adj.): not someone who is too much to love — but someone too important to lose.
