Summary
“C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.
"What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.
"You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”
Eddie can’t believe his ears.
"That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."
“Oh so you concede?"
Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.
OR
Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

Summary
Eddie recognizes the shirt Buck is wearing instantly. It’s his shirt. He remembers throwing it in the station laundry weeks ago, one of his older ones, soft from the wear. He stares for a couple of minutes
Buck notices. “You good?” he asks. His eyes catch Eddie’s.
Eddie clears his throat. “That my shirt?”
Buck glances down at it. He lifts the hem like he’s checking. “Huh. Guess it is.”
“You guess?”
Buck grins, slow and shameless. “Well, it smelled like you. Thought the universe was telling me something.”
Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Telling you what? To do my laundry?”
“No,” Buck says, and there’s a flicker of something more in his voice.
OR
Eddie thinks there's something off about the way Buck is acting, but can't put his finger on it.

Summary
Karen sits on the coffee table across from him, leaning in and placing a steady weight on his knees.
Above them, he hears, “Did something happen to Buck? Should we call Maddie?”
Eddie chokes, sitting upright, and looking over his shoulder at Hen, “No,” he says, voice gravelly. “Do not call Maddie.”
“Okay,” Hen says, frowning. “Why?”
He groans, turning back around and burying his face in his hands again. “Because Bucks probably already told her and there’s no doubt I’ve jumped to the top of her to be killed list.” He looks up. “Don’t tell me she doesn’t have a to be killed list, because I guarantee she does now.”
“Okay. What’s going on?”
He takes a deep breath, shaking his head. “I kissed Buck.”

Summary
Eddie believes he is usually pretty good at reading Buck’s mind. It’s almost like he has a sixth sense for what his best friend is thinking. The two are just in tune with each other like that and have been since they first met. Eddie has always found this ability as a blessing in disguise. He knows Buck better than anyone else, inside and out. They have that thing when you meet somebody and just click.
Except right now, because Eddie has no fucking clue what Buck is talking about. Why his eyes are growing wide and his smile blinding. He doesn’t know what he is about to get himself into, but with Buck looking at him like that, it can’t be all that bad, right?
“Oh yeah,” Hen agrees.
“What are you talking about?” Eddie asks redundantly.
Buck’s eyes are peering down at him. He bites his lip, fighting off the growing smile, but it’s no use. “The Chappell Roan concert! You should come with.”
OR: Eddie, on the brink of his gay awakening and joy-seeking adventures, goes to the Chappell Roan concert with Buck and Hen.

Summary
“You know, um, that joke I made earlier,” Buck says. “When I called you my girlfriend.”
“It was just a joke, though,” Eddie stresses. “I wouldn’t just assume you actually meant anything by it. That’d be ridiculous. No one would ever look at me and see a woman.”
“Right,” Buck says eagerly. “No, exactly. I’m glad you know that, I just wanted to make it totally clear that I love you just the way you are now.”
Or: Buck asks for something he wants. Eddie spirals.
