    Summary

    “Those couldn’t’ve been cheap,” Eddie says. “Do we need to talk about your spending habits?”

    Buck lets out a soft huff of laughter. “What are you, the flower police?”

    “No, no,” Eddie says, shaking his head, his hair brushing against the side of Buck’s face. “If you wanna spend your hard earned money on fancy ass flowers, I’m not gonna stop you.” He nuzzles into Buck’s neck, his stubble scratching against his skin.

    “It’s nice,” he says, his voice muffled. “No one’s ever bought me flowers before.”

    Buck copes with unrequited love by maladaptive daydreaming, buying Eddie flowers, and lying to the farmers market vendor about his imaginary husband.

    Summary

    “Eds, seriously,” Buck sighed, trying to find an appropriate place to hold on—or even rest his face—as Eddie hauled him up the stairs in his loft, presumably planning on throwing him onto the bed, which he couldn’t deny having had a few fantasies that began just like this.

    Still, he didn’t think they were headed for that kind of fun right now.

    Because the steady growl rumbling Eddie’s chest made it pretty apparent that he’d reached the end of his tether with Buck’s antics at work, even if Buck still wouldn’t change what he’d done on their last shift—which had been cut short for him, though not for Eddie.

    —or—

    Buck gets hurt at a scene, sparking a reaction in Eddie that is usually reserved for mates, which is especially odd since they aren’t nor have ever been dating, let alone bonded as a pair.

    So when Eddie shows up at the loft after his shift, feral and lost to his wolf, he proceeds to literally lick Buck’s wounds, nuzzle his crotch, then test every last fiber of Buck’s willpower as he desperately tries to do the right thing, not wanting to take advantage Eddie in this state.

    Which, for the record, he fails at—though neither is bothered by that in the slightest.

    Summary

    Buck has self-control. He hasn’t always used it, but he likes to think he’s gotten a lot better at it, throughout the years.

    Evidence: He’s clenching his jaw to the point of pain and very pointedly looking at the TV, like the local weatherman spouting off about a heat wave is capable of holding this much of his attention. If this were—before, they would not be watching the news.

    ...or, Eddie could just use his words, but where’s the fun in that?

    Summary

    “I met a lady on the call the other day, the one I pulled out of the other unit… she said she was psychic and then started talking about granting wishes. It all sounded so ridiculous, but I-I think she did something to me. I know I sound crazy, but I think I have to do whatever people tell me to.”

    Buck jerks back, stands to his full height, and Eddie sees the last twenty-four hours playing through his eyes in perfect clarity, without one second of doubt. Buck believes him, instantly, wholly, without question, and Eddie suffocates the sob in his throat.

    “Oh, Eddie, you’re…” Buck says, “wait, is that why you were giving that guy your number?”

    “That’s your question?” He gasps through a laugh, and it’s wet and dangerous.

    “Yes,” Buck says, without an ounce of remorse.

    OR

    Eddie gets the Ella Enchanted treatment.

    Summary

    “You didn’t tell me your agent’s name was Dick,” Eddie says, halfway to a laugh.

    Buck tries to force a smile onto his face, but it won’t come. “Yeah, he didn’t mention that before. Apparently, that was info he only wanted to share with you.”

    “Oh, weird,” Eddie says, like it’s not worth thinking about. “Still funny, though.”

    “Hilarious,” Buck says as he pulls into the street and Eddie types in the next address.

    OR

    The problem isn't that Buck's real estate agent is into Eddie or that Eddie seems to like it; it's a matter of professionalism.
