Summary
“Everything about being with Eddie feels right, and good, so so good, Maddie. It’s not timing or logistics, or even—I know he’d say yes if I did ask to move in.”
“But you feel like you can’t?”
Buck shakes his head.
“Because I’m cursed.”
(or, buck needs a loophole. eddie needs to know buck needs a loophole.)

Summary
Eddie’s heart stutters, and then resumes double speed.
Because that man, with his broad shoulders and long legs, his blue eyes and pink birthmark, is not only Mr Evan Buckley, Chris’s new music teacher.
It’s Buck — firehose — the man Eddie slept with a week ago.

Summary
“I didn’t know it was you.”
Buck huffed out a loud sigh. “Me either. Surprise, I guess. My first name is Evan. Is that all you wanted?”
“No, I—I wanted to say thank you. I don’t know how—how I can ever repay you—”
“Jesus,” said Buck, and he raked his hand through his curly hair in clear frustration. “I didn’t help a kid during a tsunami so that someone would pay me back for it.”
“No, no, I know you didn’t, I just—” Eddie broke off when he saw Buck open his mouth.
“You don’t . . .” he started, shifting his eyes back to Eddie. “You don’t talk to him like that, right? What you said to me, in the locker room,” Buck clarified, impatient. His clear blue eyes pinned Eddie like a specimen in a lab; some low form of life that was so incomprehensible people had to study it. “You don’t say shit like that to Chris, do you?”
Eddie felt the blood drain from his face. Somehow, in a life full of bad choices, he'd never felt regret quite so acutely. Buck didn’t just think he was an asshole; Buck thought he was a bad father.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.
