    Summary

    They certainly seem familiar with each other now, though without knowing about the kiss she’s not sure she would find their little tangle odd. They’ve always orbited each other, leaned on each other. She’s sure this isn’t the first time she’s seen one of them use the other as a pillow. But maybe… there is something different about the intense but inscrutable way Eddie is staring down at her brother. She think’s she’s touched Howie’s cheek that gently, after a rough day at work. Eddie looks up and they both startle, Maddie unaware of how close she’d drifted and Eddie unaware of anything outside the man in his lap.

    Summary

    “My, uh. My dad’s had a heart attack,” he says, sort of like it hasn’t sunk in yet, “He’s still in the hospital, it was. It was pretty bad, I think.”

    “I’m sorry, Buck,” says Chris, “Is he going to be okay?”

    “I don’t know,” says Buck, “She wasn't. It wasn’t clear, it was, she was. She wants me to go.”

    “Do you want to?” Eddie asks, quiet, and Buck’s eyes snap back to him.

    “Eddie,” he says, wretched, “She wants me to help. She wants me. She wants me.”
    ----

    Or, Philip Buckley has a heart attack, and Buck, Eddie, and Chris all fly to Hershey. What else are best friends for?

    Summary

    After Eddie goes through an entire box of Frank’s tissues in a week and finally manages to read through those reddit stories without flinching, he tells Frank, “I think I want to have sex. Like with a man. Gay sex.”

    Frank tilts his head, pressing the tip of his middle finger against the space between his eyebrows, and sighs. He makes a note — Eddie wonders, half-hysterical, if he’s writing down the words gay sex — and then taps the end of his pen against his knee as he meets Eddie’s eyes.

    “Do I have to tell you that you don’t have to?” Frank asks, mild.

    Summary

    Buck goes on dates now.

    Not often, and never with the same girl twice in a row, but he goes on dates.

    And the thing is — the thing is, Eddie can’t be mad about that, because he goes on dates too.

    -

    or, five (ish) times eddie and buck go on dates with other people, and one time they go on a date with each other
