    Summary

    “I never told you about my first kiss, did I?”

    The cold beer wets the coffee table when Eddie sets it there. He doesn’t know how he got to this point in conversation. Buck was talking about his first girlfriend, probably when he was 14, but he didn’t remember her name and that made Eddie laugh a bit too hard as Buck watched him fondly.

    “With Shannon, right?”

    “Well, technically yes but… not really”.

    OR

    Eddie tells Buck about his /practiced/ first kiss. With a boy.
    The story is too familiar to Buck, even if Eddie doesn’t know.

    Summary

    Athena plans a Christmas getaway to celebrate Bobby’s return, but a booking mix-up leaves Buck and Eddie sharing a two-bedroom cabin… alone.

    The rest of the 118 ends up in the bigger cabin (and immediately continues there betting pool), while Chris quietly joins Team “My Dad and Buck Need to Get Together Before Christmas.”

    What follows is a week of accidental couple’s activities, mistletoe mishaps, disastrous gingerbread houses, Buck teaching Eddie how to ski, snowball fights, and so many almost-moments neither of them will admit to.

    Buck’s convinced Eddie’s straight. Eddie’s convinced Buck could never want him back.
    And on Christmas Eve, when a storm traps them in their cabin, they finally have no choice but to talk about everything they’ve been avoiding.

    A holiday trip, a slow burn, and two idiots in love trying very hard not to be.

    Or

    Buck and Eddie get stuck sharing a cabin during the 118’s Christmas vacation, and every holiday trope in existence decides to attack them at once.
    By Christmas Eve, the only thing more intense than the snowstorm is the truth they’ve been avoiding.
