    Summary

    “What can I get you?” Buck asks, wiping a spill on the counter, before flicking the rag back into the sink.

    When there’s no immediate answer, he glances up, and finds himself staring straight into a pair of big brown eyes that look equal parts startled and lost.

     

    Or; Buck’s a bartender at a gay bar, and Eddie’s recently out and blushes far too easily.

    Buck makes him a drink that matches the pretty pink colour of his cheeks.

    Summary

    “Brutally honest,” Jamie says, as if he’s still trying to get the point across. “No more secrets.”

    Roy stares at him. “Yes. I know what words mean.”

    “Okay,” Jamie says, and then he says, “I talked to Keeley about maybe being bisexual because that night we fought over her I wasn’t just jealous about her.”

    Or: Roy Kent finds himself in a situation. Fuck everyone, and Jamie Tartt in particular (gently, on soft sheets, all night long – ugh).

    Summary

    He’s fairly sure, in some faraway part of his brain, that Eddie doesn’t mean for him to climb onto the couch, slot his legs between Eddie’s, and collapse on top of him — Eddie’s chest his new favorite pillow.

    He does know that’s probably not what he meant. But it is what Buck does.

     

    Or, Buck's so, so tired. What's he supposed to do but take a nap on top of Eddie?

    Summary

    “It’s alright,” Bobby says, another useless lie.

    Eddie’s eyes open, look straight into his, and his next words are remarkably clear. “I love him, Bobby.”

    “No,” he shakes his head, a strange and frantic panic bubbling up inside him. “You can’t tell me this- you can’t tell me this-“ a hundred smiles shift slightly to the left in Bobby’s memory. It’s barely a surprise, really, he picked Eddie out for Buck himself, years and years ago. He thought they’d make a fine pair. “You have to- we’re getting out of here and you’re telling him yourself, you can’t-“

    --

    Bobby deals with the ramifications of a misplaced confession

    Summary

    Eddie’s fingers dig into his own arms. Athena wants to tell him to quit it or he’ll bruise. She wants- to walk away. She wants this to be someone else’s problem, family, life.

    “There were boxes in his car, Eddie. Clothes. Books, and-” she had helped him pack, they all had. Made a little party of it, Buck’s new apartment, the Diazes back in their rightful home, everything as it should be as much as it ever can be again. She’d looked in the back seat and saw a box with her own handwriting. Kitchen.

    “What are you-”

    “He was sleeping in his car?” Maddie’s always been smart.
