    Summary

    Eddie Diaz is fine. Totally fine. In control. Focused. Definitely not distracted.
    ...Okay, maybe slightly distracted. But who wouldn’t be? Life’s been weird lately—like, can’t-focus-on-work, lost-in-thought, zoning-out-mid-conversation kind of weird. It’s probably stress. Or lack of sleep. His concussion. Or Buck’s fault. (It’s definitely Buck’s fault.)

    All Eddie knows is that his brain has been taking some... creative liberties lately. And while most people might daydream about, say, a vacation or winning the lottery, Eddie’s subconscious seems to have its own, very specific, very Buck-centered agenda.

    He’s not worried. Not really. These things pass.
    Right?

    Summary

    “My dads,” Christopher mumbles in his sleep. “Are getting married.”

    Eddie clears his throat. From the corner of his eye, he can see Buck’s knuckles tighten on the steering wheel.

    “I’m not a flower girl!” Christopher continues, annoyed. “I have no flowers.”

    “Maybe we should wake him?” Buck suggests. “He seems, um. Distressed.”

     

    Or, Christopher sleep talks. Buck and Eddie get a front row seat to his dream.

    Summary

    “C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.

    "What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.

    "You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”

    Eddie can’t believe his ears.

    "That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."

    “Oh so you concede?"

    Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

    Summary

    Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.

    Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.

    Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.

    Summary

    Jayce is a prideful man, standing tall even as he's bombarded with vicious side-eyes and targeted remarks. Always preened and proper, clothes ironed to almost paper-like perfection. He's boisterous, loud, and confident among the throng of elites, a burning sun.

    But when the space around him becomes too oppressive, too tight and loud, what does he do?

    Nothing, because Viktor will take care of him.

    All Jayce has to do, is trust him.
