Summary
Eddie huffs. It’s respectable and masculine, probably. “You know I’m not interested in—”
“Yes, Eddie, I know,” Buck drolls. “You’re off the horse. The meat market is closed. Your dick is on Do Not Disturb. I just think the pot shouldn’t be calling the kettle out,” he gestures between them with an emphatic finger, “for bad dates. Not when the pot is, ostensibly, a born-again virgin.”
“I’m not a born-again virgin,” Eddie grumbles. “Don’t start this again.”
“I’m not starting anything,” Buck lies. “I’m watching the movie.” Another lie. Then he flops unceremoniously back down, head strewn across Eddie’s clenched thighs.
Or: Buck’s mouth moves faster than Eddie’s brain.

Summary
Theo hands Buck three dandelions.
"Oh, thank you Theo. I love them."
Theo shakes his head. "They're not for you. They're for you to give to Eddie." He points at Eddie, standing frozen with two stacks of toilet paper in his arms. "Eddie likes flowers."
"He does?" Buck asks, looking at Eddie curiously.
Eddie looks away, cheeks colouring. The two pendants under his shirt burn against his skin.
Theo nods enthusiastically. "He likes flowers and he likes you, so you should give him flowers Buck."
"Yeah Buck," Chris singsongs. "You should give him ~flowers~."
or
Buck adopts Theo. Eddie's Saint Christopher pendant suddenly has a companion.

Summary
Has Eddie ever thought about this?
The question first hit him as he drove to clear his head, somewhere between his apartment and the freeway, and it hasn’t let up since. It’s needling at him like an itch he can’t reach, impossible to ignore, impossible to forget.
Has Eddie ever looked at another man and wondered? Has he ever felt that slow, curious burn that’s crawling its way up Buck’s throat right now? Has he ever, holy fuck… has he ever looked at Buck and wondered?
He needs to know.
No.
He needs to show him.
Or; What if after Tommy kisses Buck, his only thought is I want to do this with Eddie.

Summary
Eddie makes little cooing noises in his throat, letting them rumble in his chest. It used to work with Christopher, the vibrations lulling him to sleep, and Eddie’s hoping it works here too. He keeps his body as relaxed as possible, completely in contrast to Theo’s tense little bundle of bones, letting Theo cry on his chest. His sobs don’t lessen, but they get a little less louder with every second. “Okay, honey. You’re okay.”
Theo’s sobs taper off to hiccups as Eddie walks them through the house—three laps of the living room, twice round the kitchen, and all throughout the guest bedroom—buying Buck just a little more time. He talks about everything and nothing—Christopher’s latest project that Eddie does not understand, the new kid at Jee’s school, the latest recipe Bobby’s been teaching Eddie to surprise Buck, Athena’s surprise party next week, Pepa’s latest boyfriend. He talks and talks, walking up and down the house with Theo, scratching his hair the whole time.
It works. Miraculously, it works.

Summary
“Don’t be mad,” Eddie starts.
“Why would I be mad?” is Buck‘s immediate response. “I just want to make sure you know you’re loved. You’re incredibly loveable.”
Eddie gives him a look.
“That’s not exactly the kind of love I was referring to,” Eddie says slowly.
Buck looks confused.
“What do you—”
“Think more,” Eddie suggests. “Bigger.”
“I love you… a lot?” Buck says hesitantly. “Is that what you—”
“Jesus Christ," Eddie swears, burying his face in his hands for a moment before looking back at Buck. “Think gay.”
Think gay?
Wow.
Maybe he’s more tired than he thought.
