Summary
“I think it might be time for you to go.”
“What—why?” Buck asked.
“You’re a freshman, Buck,” Eddie accentuated the syllables of his name. “You shouldn’t really be here.”
“I have just as much a right to be here as you do.” Buck argued, adjusting himself so he was standing up perfectly straight. Making himself bigger. He was taller than Eddie, he noticed.
So why did he still feel so small standing next to him?

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.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
Buck is fucking frozen. His mouth is dry, and his brain is blank except for oh no, oh fuck reverberating in his frontal lobe. He can’t answer. He feels the pressure against the metaphorical closet door, the hinges creaking against the weight of the boxes crashing down.
“Are those… hearing aids?” He registers Eddie's voice through the ringing in his ears.
It takes him a moment before he can finally whisper it out. He feels his head nod against his will.
“Yeah.”
The door gives out.
or: how a conversation about tardigrades results in buck grappling with a disability he's suppressed, getting hearing aids, and realizing that the family he craves has been there for him all along. in that order.

Summary
“What’s your last name, then?” Buck prompts. He doesn’t know what to say, how to keep this going, but he knows he’s not ready for the conversation to end.
“Diaz.”
Diaz. Diaz. Diaz. Buck rolls the name over in his mind. He likes the sound of it.
“Do people ever call you Diaz?”
“Not if they want me to respond.” He smiles at Buck then, a real smile that shows off his slightly crooked teeth. His eyes are a warm, dark brown that makes Buck’s head feel a little like soup.
Well, shit, Buck thinks.

Summary
“Bless your heart, you really are new to this. Good for y’all, though. I’m glad this ship is… accepting.”
Eddie straightens in his seat. “What does that mean?”
All four wince as a young man taps the microphone onstage.
“Testing, testing,” he jokes. “Welcome to the Cruisin’ Couples Trivia Tournament!”
The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.
“Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”

Summary
"I’m not good enough for you, either,” Eddie whispers. “But I love you anyway.”
Everything suddenly goes still. It’s like the blood in his veins, the air in the room, the entire goddamn city, freezes in place for the length of a heartbeat.
And then it all comes rushing back at full speed, stealing the breath from his lungs and any thoughts from his head that aren’t EddieEddieEddie; his name a litany, a prayer being tattooed onto Buck’s ribs by the frantic beat of his heart.

Summary
St. Anthony’s was his last chance, and Evan knew that. He had been kicked out of five schools in the past six years, and after his sophomore year ended with a meeting between his parents and his last headmaster that could be summarized with: “we’re not kicking him out, but just know that Evan is not welcome back in September.” His parents wanted to send him to military school.
Evan knew he couldn’t survive military school, that would be his last drop, the one that finally shattered the vase. He couldn’t be the type of person that would be able to put himself back together once they broke him down.
This had to work.
. . .
Buck is the new kid in an El Paso boarding school, trying his best to stay out of trouble. Eddie is a rockstar (in the world of high school popularity) he's captain to the football team, he's dating the most popular girl in school, and looking at a full ride sports scholarship in the fall. He should feel like he won at life, which is why he doesn't understand why the only time he feels alive is when he catches a glimpse of the new guy on the running team.
Or in simpler terms: Buddie high-school AU!

Summary
Buck only nuzzled closer, his breath ghosting over Eddie’s lips, begging Eddie to take that last step.
“Ev, please don’t make this harder than it already is.”
Buck’s lips were all but touching his, their noses pressed together. Buck was all around him, voice pleading.
“Just one Eds, please.”
That was the problem. It was never just one; once they dove into the world of each other, it was almost impossible to stop—they could never get enough. Not enough kisses, touches, or sweet sounds made between them would ever be enough; if there was one thing they never tired of, it was each other.

A collection of firsts in Buck and Eddie’s relationship, from when they met as teenagers, to now. Aka the teen buddie au.
