Summary
"It will take an hour," Eddie insists. "Two, at most."
"I can go buy my own couch," Buck says. "You don't have to hold my hand while I do it. I'm not — I don't need your help."
His voice is a bit too cutting, so Eddie lifts his hands up. "Not saying you do." It is not the right thing to say, judging by Buck's face. "Just offering."
Eddie helps Buck move despite thinking Buck is only moving to run away from him.

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.

Summary
"Are you doing anything today?" Chris suddenly asks. It takes Eddie a second to process that he's being talked to, frowning at the bike and considering whether it's worth it to take it off the wall to actually clean it well today.
Eddie shrugs. "I don't know, Chris. You planning something?"
"No," Chris says. He stays quiet after that.
Buck stops talking to Eddie after he moves out.

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.

Summary
Buck shakes his head, a small, childish feeling in his chest. "I don't want to sleep."
Eddie's eyebrow goes up. There is a difference between not wanting to and not being able to, and Buck didn't notice he was using the first one. "You don't have to stay up or he will disappear, you know? Bobby will still be here tomorrow."
"But you won't," Buck admits, the response out of his mouth before his brain has time to fully notice what he is about to say and reminds him why it's a bad idea to tell Eddie something like that.
Buck and Eddie only have a few hours together before Eddie's flight back to El Paso. It's time to move forward.
