Summary
Buck is about to walk out of the airport. He can’t do this. He won’t. But then a hand—a big, warm hand—settles on his shoulder.
“Hey, uh—”
Buck turns, and standing there is the most beautiful man Buck’s seen in his entire life. A week’s worth of stubble across his jaw and cheek, a strong nose, and the deepest, prettiest brown eyes he’s ever seen, framed by mile-long lashes. Buck’s breath catches. Buck’s not into men, but holy shit, if he was—he’d be into this guy.
Well. He is kinda into this guy. Well. That’s—
“I’m here with my kid,” the guy continues, throwing a thumb over his shoulder and pointing toward where a blonde-haired, smiling kid with red glasses and crutches is standing. The kid lifts a hand and waves. Okay. Even if Buck is into the guy—kid usually means wife. Damn. “He’s got CP. We’ve done this song and dance a thousand times. You want a hand?”
“Sir,” the man cuts in, “this is a private discussion—”
Buck, who really was trying not to cry before, feels like he’s fighting a losing battle now. His eyes are a little wet, and his hands, gripping his crutches, are shaking just a little. “Fuck. Yeah. Please.”
OR Eddie Diaz vs American Airlines.

Summary
Eddie tried to figure out how to explain. “My, uh, apartment walls are pretty thin.”
“Mhm,” she said.
“So, I can, you know. Hear things. Coming from the other side of the wall. Which, like, I guess is his bedroom.” Eddie’s face was on fire. “So, the second time it happened, I thought, I’ll just wait until he opens the door so I can introduce myself and ask him to keep it down.”
“But then you saw him,” she finished.
“But then I saw him.”
——
Eddie just moved to LA with Chris for a fresh start. What he gets instead is an earful of his neighbor’s sex life, several pairs of earplugs, and just maybe, the love of his life.

Summary
“Hello?” His neighbour says, looking confused and honestly a bit concerned at Buck’s dishevelled presence.
“Hi, I’m—next door. Buck,” Buck says.
The guy just raises an eyebrow, hand still on the door handle. “Okay? Nice to meet you, Buck. I’m Eddie.”
Eddie. It’s a beautiful name. Simple. Short. Sweet. Buck thinks he might have hearts in his eyes. Or maybe they’re floating around his head. Is he delirious?
“I’m a firefighter,” Buck explains.
Eddie glances down at Buck’s hoodie, a navy LAFD-issue hoodie that hangs loosely over his frame. “I can tell.”
Buck exhales. He’s not explaining this correctly. He’s so tired he might just curl up and fall asleep right here, right now, on Eddie’s front door step. Maybe the saxophone will lull him to sleep.
“Sorry, I’m—I just got off a forty-eight-hour shift from hell. I’m just—I’m dead on my feet, man. Is there any chance you can just—not—” Buck makes vague gesturing of playing a saxophone, cheeks puffed out and fingers pressing vaguely where he imagines saxophone buttons are. He makes quiet little tooting noises. “I hate to be this guy, I just—please. Just tonight.”
OR Buck pleads with his evil saxist neighbour for peace

Summary
“You’re going to be a great father someday,” Eddie says eventually, because he’s worse than he used to be and Buck’s reverent eyes make him feel—they just make him feel.
“Eddie, I—”
“You are,” he repeats, firm. “Don’t you think I’d know better than anyone?”

“I’m gonna come,” Buck gasps, closer to a broken plea than a warning, “Eddie, I’m gonna—”
So Eddie has no choice but to stop him.

Summary
“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

Summary
"I think we should go clubbing again," Buck announces in between Forza races. "We have a Friday in the middle of our 96, it would be perfect."
"You guys planning something?" Hen asks, coming over from the kitchen with a bowl of trail mix.
"I'm trying to get Eddie to come pick up guys with me," Buck says.
Hen's eyebrows arch high above her glasses. "Really," Hen says.
"It's more of a wingman situation," Eddie tries to explain.
"Yeah, Eddie picks the guys so I don't make stupid decisions," Buck says, flicking through menus to pick a new racetrack.
The combination of Hen munching peanuts and looking back and forth between them makes Eddie feel like he's a zoo exhibit. Best Friends, captured in the wild, still feral, exhibiting behaviors heretofore unknown to science.
"Well, good luck with - all that," Hen says pointedly to Eddie. She is definitely not talking about the video game.

Summary
“Okay, that’s it. I’m calling 9-1-1.”
“You’re a medic, Eddie!” Buck practically yelled, eyes widening. “We’ve both dealt with dislocated shoulders before, just—mmh—immobilize it and drive me to the ER yourself!”
But Eddie had already reached for his phone and dialed the number.
“I’m going to kill you,” Buck muttered, a threat that would’ve been much more convincing if his entire arm wasn’t out of commission. Instead, it was actually kind of endearing. Buck sighed, resigned to his fate. “Now I have blue balls and a dislocated shoulder,” he said forlornly.
Or, 5 times the 118 responds to sex-related calls and the 1 time Buck and Eddie have an accident of their own.

Summary
Eddie: What do you know about Buck’s date tonight?
Ravi: They’re going to some Greek place.
Ravi: And he’s kinda ugly.
“Oh this guy… sucks,” Ravi says.
“What have I been telling you this whole time?” Eddie throws his hands up dramatically.
“I liked you better when you were straight and sad all the time.” He pulls his laptop closer to himself and away from Eddie’s hands, “Now you’re evil and gay.”
“I’ll try not to live my truth and embrace joy next time if that makes you feel better.” Eddie reaches to pick up the laptop from Ravi’s lap, but he holds it out of Eddie’s reach before he can.
Or, Eddie assembles a team to cyber-stalk Buck's Hinge date. It gets a little out of hand when they discover things they probably never should have seen.

Remi thinks for a second, her head cocking like a new puppy. "You ever heard of a cracking egg?"
Eddie stares at her like an explanation will start wrapping around her head like lines from a teleprompter. "Is that a puberty thing?"
Her mouth drops open, but she works through a silent thought before nodding so very slowly. "You know what? Yeah, I think it could be. Now, I'm not saying that your kid's egg is cracking, I'm just—," she waves her hands, wiggling her fingers, "y'know, putting it out there."
"Am I supposed to know what that means?"
Or, teenagers are complicated. Chris Diaz is absolutely no exception to that rule.

Summary
“I think Buck is pregnant.”
Hen slots her glasses back onto her wrinkled nose and says, “What, can you smell it on him?”
That shakes Eddie out of it a little. “What? No, his birthmark.”
The wrinkled nose is paired with an eyebrow raise, and Hen tilts her head a fraction. “What about his birthmark?” she asks slowly, like she’s talking to a child or a mental patient.
“It kind of…glows?”
Hen, his current captain, his former partner, one of his best friends, looks at Eddie like he’s lost his mind.
“Boy, if you don’t get out of my office so we can go home.”
or, Buck is pregnant. Eddie just doesn't know how to tell him.

Summary
This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.
He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.
Maybe it's because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.
He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.
Now, it’s all gone to shit.
or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Summary
When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?
Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.
The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?

"What are you up to?"
Buck leans in and kisses him soundly, thumb stroking over the nape of Eddie's neck. "Nothing."
"Buck…" Eddie warns.
"Nothing, I swear!" He laughs, "Just wanted to do something nice for you. Is that a crime?"
Eddie squints at him wordlessly. He's up to something. He's definitely up to something.
Eddie supposes he's going to find out soon enough.
