    Summary

    Buck's plan for the evening is simple: eat calzones with Eddie, pretend he's not in love with his best friend, and absolutely never think about one desperate night he hooked up with Tommy in Eddie's house, and the conversation they had the morning after in Eddie's kitchen while Eddie was in El Paso.

    Then Eddie mentions a missed call. And a voicemail. And a text from Tommy asking if Eddie thinks he's "competition."

    Before Buck can spiral, Eddie holds out his hand for Buck's phone, finds Tommy's still-blocked number, and calls him back himself. What follows is ten minutes of calm, surgical destruction: Eddie dismantling Tommy's ego, burning every bridge, and saying things like "You call that competition? You were never in the fucking race," and "I left him behind and he was still fucking mine."

    Buck's pressed against the corner of the kitchen, half-hard and fully in shock, because they aren't even dating.

    Yet.

    Working relationships, at least in James's world, aren't mean to translate into anything more. But death changes things, doesn't it? Puts little gaps in his armor that may just let someone else through.

    Just a small bite of violence and angst. A midday angst snack, if you will.
