    Summary

    Buck cautiously peers into the small opening, catching a glimpse of Eddie staring at himself in the mirror, fingers gripping the edge of the porcelain sink as he shakes his head and says, “I can’t believe I’m in love with a Buckley.”

    It's a miracle Buck doesn’t pass out on the spot.

    He takes a stumbling step back into Eddie’s room, somehow managing to close the door quietly in his haze. Although it’s entirely possible that he just slammed it because he can’t hear anything over the whooshing in his ears.

    He doesn’t know how he didn’t see it before.

    Eddie is in love with Maddie.

    -:-:-:-:-:-

    Or, 5 times Buck thinks Eddie is in love with Maddie, +1 time he's sure he's not.

    Summary

    "Cool." Buck says, and he's looking at him. "And, I mean, we are bros, right? You don't mind me calling you that?"

    Eddie stares right back. "I don't mind it at all, bro." he replies.

    "You know what?" Chim says, "You guys are all my bros! My best bros! Let's cheer to my best bros." he adds, and they all clink their beer bottles together.

     

    Or Buck starts calling Eddie "bro". Eddie is confused. Then he's mad. Then Buck's mad.

    Summary

    Eddie shifts his weight a few times. “What does that mean?”

    This could go a lot of ways. If this is Buckley, and Eddie’s pretty sure it is, it could lead to him hanging this over his head, trying to get sex out of it, and honestly – Eddie’s slept with people for less. And Eddie could do, has done, a lot worse.

    He would hate being strong-armed into sex, but he’s been strong-armed into it before, and this guy, well, it’s not like he hasn’t thought about it.

    “Um,” is all the answer Eddie gets.

    And then there’s this meandering, endless pause, where the guy stands there and just… stares at him. Eddie can’t decide if it’s awkward or if they are slipping back into creepy. “What’s with the staring?”

    “Sorry!” Sleeves immediately jerks his eyes away, then scratches the back of his head before he looks back at Eddie and snaps away again. “It’s just – uh, it’s weird, seeing you, um, without the…”

    Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Handcuffs?”

    OR

    Eddie works at a strip club, and Buck's a very frequent customer.

    Summary

    “See,” Christopher explained, “Grindr is not going to meet your needs.”
    “What needs?” Eddie scoffed.
    “A relationship, Dad,” Christopher groaned, “You want it to be romantic, right? Grindr is all about hookups.”
    Eddie put down his phone. “And how would you know about this??”
    “I research.”
    “Dating apps?”
    “Gay culture!” Christopher threw up his hands. “I researched when Buck came out.”
    Eddie laughed. “Sometimes, I think you have his genes instead of mine.” He pulled out the sticky notepad he kept in his wallet and wrote down 'no grindr - no hookups.'

    OR

    Newly out as gay, Eddie Diaz explores dating apps with the help of his teenage son and his chaotic best friend.

    Summary

    “You’re really starting over, then,” Eddie says.

     

    “That’s what I wanted,” Buck replies. “Clean slate, you know?”

     

    “Well, you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need,” Eddie says, knocking his shoulder against Buck’s. “That should go without saying.”

     

    When Buck had hastily packed his bag and slipped out the door to his Jeep, he hadn’t really known where he was heading for the night. He thought about going to Maddie’s place, or even Albert’s new apartment, but in the end he’d driven himself here—to Eddie’s.

     

    Buck moves in. Eddie comes out. Things get a little messy.
