    Summary

    “You can’t possibly think I’m in the mood to play right now.”

    Buck swallowed, hard, fighting down the rising tide of panic. What was going wrong? Eddie didn’t want him? Eddie was mad at him, sure, but this is what Buck was good at. This is what Buck was for, when it came down to it. Nothing but bones and marrow and the muscles that encased them. His body was why he’d been made, and his body was what he had to offer, and if Eddie didn’t want that, then what would be left?

    ***

    During a fight about Buck once again risking his life, Buck thinks it would help if Eddie played rough with him. Eddie doesn’t agree.

    Summary

    Buck and Eddie have been together for a while now—settled, stable, and quietly happy in a way Buck never thought he’d get to be. They share a home, they share Christopher, they share everything.

    Until Eddie sleeps with someone else.

    It’s one night. One terrible, meaningless night. But it’s enough to shatter the fragile peace they built together, to gut Buck so completely he forgets how to breathe.

    But maybe, if they’re both brave enough, they can still find a way through the wreckage.
    Because love doesn’t just disappear—and neither does the ache of wanting to be forgiven.

    Summary

    “I never asked for that,” he said suddenly, making Eddie move and turn his face toward him.
    Buck gathered the courage to turn too. Eddie’s eyes were even darker in the dim light of the room. An invisible question in his expression.
    “I didn’t ask you to choose between me and Chris,” Buck explained.

    Summary

    He thought about Maddie, but she was most likely with Chimney, Bobby hadn’t reached out since the dinner when things went awry, and Eddie yelled at him the last time they spoke.

    ‘Exhausting.’

    That’s what Eddie had called him that shook his very existence.

    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

    100,000 word awesomely balanced between angst and fluff but serious-slow-burn friends-to-lovers as the tags depicted. 10/10 would read again!
