Summary
Once upon a time, Eddie Diaz was a little boy in El Paso whose abuela read him fairy tales and told him if he was brave and kind and generous, he’d find a beautiful princess to live happily ever after with. The thirty-three year old Eddie Diaz in Los Angeles hasn’t thought about princesses in a hot sec, because his own kid preferred dinosaurs, and anyway, if he’s ever indulging in fantasies of happily ever after? It’s not with a princess. Not even close.

Summary
“We should make it a road trip, Eddie! We never hang out anymore, Eddie! It’ll be so fun, Eddie!” Eddie mimics, his voice trailing as he disappears into the tiny bathroom connected to their Budget Queen motel room.
“We’re not stranded,” Buck scoffs. “And you weren’t saying that when you were stuffing your face with the tamales that I found, or the cherry pie that I read about.”
Or, there was only one bed. And a lot of bickering.

Summary
“It’s always pretty fun to see a former fuckboy from your grad school era bootycall list all domestic and settled down.”
“Right, uh,” Buck’s brain is very quickly piecing together the slow onceovers, no doubt cataloguing the matching sleep-soft sweatpants and cozy hoodies and unbrushed hair at breakfast-time on a weekday. The singular witnessed conversation regarding co-purchased home cleaning products. The lack of personal space followed by the hasty exit when made to interact with an ex of sorts. “He’s, uh, he’s actually my best friend.”
“Hey man, I love that for you. That’s the best way to do it, you know? Wish everyone got that in their relationship.” She's smiling very warmly at him. Buck’s sweating again.
“He’s my partner,” Buck stresses, as much emphasis on the word ‘partner’ as he can manage.
or, two boy best friends and an ex lover walk into a grocery store. everyone is on their normalest behaviour.

Summary
“They’ll be ready by September,” he tells Buck, a little thickly.
“September,” Buck nods. “Good month. Summer end. We can make soup.”
Eddie turns to him. “Not too long away?”
“Nah,” Buck says, hand coming up to cup Eddie’s face. Eddie freezes, but Buck’s just using the pad of his thumb to oh-so-gently brush away a smudge of dirt on Eddie’s cheek. He keeps holding Eddie’s face for a moment more before dropping his hand, shifting to examine Eddie’s neatly planted rows of squash seeds. “Besides. They’re, uh. Worth waiting for.”
or, eddie’s growing a garden. buck might be the most firmly planted thing in it.
