    Summary

    “I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”

    “Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”

    They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.

    “Well—”

    Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”

    “I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”

     

    or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research

    Summary

    "And now, in as much as you, Evan Buckley and Edmundo Diaz, have given and pledged your love and faithfulness, each to the other, and have declared the same by joining hands, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the State of California as Deputy Marriage Commissioner, I now pronounce you spouses for life."

    "You're crying."

    "You're crying."

    Christopher sighs under his breath. "You're both crying."

    Summary

    “Oh! You must be Mr. Diaz!” someone says from behind him, and Buck spins around clumsily, all long legs, to find a woman with a Miss Perez tag stuck to her blouse. She’s smiling politely, white teeth against red lips, and it takes just a second too long to process what she says.

    ...or, everyone thinks Buck is the other Mr. Diaz.

    Summary

    Raphael’s trying his best not to be nosy, but his eyes land on Eddie’s screen anyway, and he huffs out a quiet laugh. “My wife sends me stuff like that, too. I don’t know where she finds it.”

    “If she’s anything like Buck, she’s got the oddity section on AP News bookmarked.”

    Eddie’s card makes a soft little beep as he taps it against the machine, and Raphael smiles at him as he tears the receipt off and hands it over. “How long have y’all been together?”

    ...or, everyone in El Paso has lost their minds.

    Summary

    “Well,” Buck says. “I’ve had worst first dates.”

    The man looks unimpressed. “We fell fifty feet, got trapped beneath a building, your legs are pinned, and you’re telling me you’ve had worse?”

    Buck thinks about this. “Well, Veronica liked the Red Sox.”

     

    or, there’s an earthquake. Buck and Eddie meet trapped together.
