    Summary

    Will knew he was blessed. He couldn’t help the way he drew people in like a sunbeam, or the way they jostled to get close to his warmth. There was nothing ordinary about the easy way love came to him.

    There had to be some kind of catch.

    Or: Will Smith Hockey just wants the angels to leave him the hell alone. And yeah, okay, he wants Mack.

    Summary

    "You don't see the problem," Buck says finally, in as measured a tone as he can, "with getting married to me. For tax purposes."

    "Not just tax purposes," Eddie says indignantly, like that's Buck's main sticking point. Buck finally turns his head and looks at him. Still stupid. Still beautiful, in a light-colored Henley that makes his skin glow, his long fingers curled around the neck of the beer bottle resting on his knee. His big brown eyes and the encouraging little smile on his lips, like he's offering Buck a special treat, instead of a lifelong fucking commitment of platonic marriage. Buck wants to kiss him, or maybe strangle him. Either one would serve Eddie right.

    Or: Eddie proposes marriage (platonically). Buck spirals.

    Summary

    “I drink coffee every day, Buck. You have to stop looking at me like that.”

    “Like what?” Buck asks, innocently.

    “Like you're worried about me — I'm fine.”

    Buck could reply to that in a thousand different ways. All of them are less humiliating than the one reply he blurts out, which is, “I know you were home the other day.”

     

    Eddie and Buck drive up to Seattle to deliver all the belongings that wouldn't fit in Christopher's suitcase to his dorm room. They also, while on the road, confront the way their friendship is changing.

    “There’s something wrong with you, Paul. You must realise that.”

    Summary

    “I’m not in love with you,” Buck blurts out.

    Eddie stays quiet, for a few seconds. Then, he just says, “Do you want to try that again? Maybe be normal this time?”

    Buck knows he’s going violently red. He’s so glad Eddie’s still making sure he’s not injured and he doesn’t have to look up at him, though he can tell he’s mostly amused. He stumbles a bit over his words, when he says, “Uh. I’m proud of you?”

     

    Eddie's coming out doesn't go as smoothly as Buck thinks it should have. He doesn't understand why he's so upset about it.
