    Summary

    He feels like shit when he's hungry, and he plays better when he's empty. The cold air doesn't touch him as much. The floodlights turn silvery-soft.
    And he likes eating. Keeps his hands busy, mouth busy, mind busy. Something to chew through, putty in the ears.
    Go until he can't anymore. Cycle it back out. Be ready.

    OR: Buck's had on-again, off-again bulimia since he was 14.

    Title from Psychic Friend's "We Do Not Belong".

    Summary

    “Gay Michael’s coming over for dinner tonight,” Bobby says conversationally, sliding a bowl of olives over to Buck.

    Buck catches the bowl, and then freezes, eyes widening. “Gay… Michael? Since when do you call Michael Gay Michael?” 

    Ah. Well.

    “It just slipped out,” Bobby admits. “I don’t usually.”

    Buck’s eyebrows furrow, something like quiet devastation falling onto his face. “Cap, are— are you homophobic?”

    At this, Bobby startles. “What? No. Gay Michael is my best friend.” 

    Or: Bobby calls it as he sees it.

    Summary

    “On the other side of this,” Eddie whispers. “Maybe we can try it.”

    “Hm, okay,” Buck hums, apparently awake, but barely. “What are we tryin’?”

    “I know now isn’t the right time. I’m not - - we’re not ready. But this next bit isn’t going to be pretty. It’s going to be hard. And I need you to know, so you have something to hold on to. So that I don’t forget what it feels like. What it felt like. We could - - we could try.”

     

    Or, after the kidnapping, Buck goes through it. Eddie goes through it with him.

    Summary

    “It doesn't bother you that I'm twice your age?” Tommy was still surprised he'd gotten this far with Evan already.

    “It's not like it's a surprise, it was on your profile.” Evan shrugged. “Besides,” Evan lowered his voice and leaned in a little. “You're supposed to be my sugar daddy right?”

    This kid was gonna be the death of Tommy, he was sure. And if this was how he went? Well, what a way to go.
    ---
    54 year old Tommy Kinard is content with his lavender marriage until he decides he wants some non-romantic, exclusive fun and he's happy to pay for it. 27 year old Evan "Buck" Buckley is happy with his position as a probationary firefighter, but it doesn't quite pay enough to get him out of the frat-house. He figures it's not the meaningless sex he's trying to stay away from if it's exclusive and he's getting paid for it. Sugaring seems to be the perfect solution for both of them. Neither expected to fall in love along the way.
