    BUCK (WORK): SOS
    Eddie
    R u up
    Eddie
    It's an emergency

    Heart thundering, Eddie taps the call button and presses it to his ear. It rings, rings, rings and then the line goes dead, the call left unanswered. Eddie’s on his feet, keys in hand and forcing his feet into half-tied shoes before he even realises he’s stood up. He presses the call button again, but this time it ends on the first ring. Fuck, has someone taken Buck’s phone? Buck always picks up unless something is seriously wrong.

    EDDIE: Call me

    BUCK (WORK): No nonononon not that kind of emergency
    Can’t call. Theo asleep on my stomach. If he wakes up all hell will break loose.

    EDDIE: You’re ok?

    BUCK (WORK): Yes. no one is dying sorry sorry
    It’s a dad emergency

    or: Theo's birthday plans take a turn for the worse. Eddie's right there to get them back on track.

    Summary

    Eddie climbs onto the bed. They sit side by side, legs extended, two letter L’s protruding off the page. Instead of pressing play like Eddie is expecting, Buck laughs.

    “What?” Eddie asks, an instinctive smile caressing his lips.

    Buck grips his jaw, thumb brushing over his teeth before he bites at the broad nail, stifling. “Just—did you ever see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?”

    Eddie nods. “Gene Wilder.”

    “That’s the one,” Buck chuckles around his thumb, then lets it slide free. “You know the grandparents?”

    Then Eddie’s laughing too. “Jesus,” he says on an exhale.

    “I’m just saying,” says Buck, still giggling. “I’ve seen our future, and it’s bright.”

    Or: God created the world in seven days. It only takes Eddie six to surreptitiously move into Buck’s house.

    Summary

    “You know,” Maddie says, waving a hand in a how silly! gesture before Buck can get the word out. “The competition.”

    Eddie redirects his gaze to Maddie. “Competition?”

    He could drop his glass on the concrete. Or yell fire! convincingly enough to buy him enough time to run. He could make himself throw up, or pretend to faint, or just make a break for his truck and drive it directly into the ocean.

    Summary

    “You slammed the front—never mind. Nonissue,” Buck says, then refocuses. "Are you okay?”

    “Yeah,” Eddie nods: sincere enough that Buck is no longer anxious; frantically enough that he doesn’t believe him for a second.

    Which is the right call, because Eddie proceeds to shake his head not even five seconds later.

    “No,” he amends.

    Buck is the one to nod, then: just the once, pointed and slow. “So,” he chimes, “those are opposites.”

    Or: Eddie shows up in Buck's kitchen with a question.
