Summary
“I napped for, like, thirty minutes,” Eddie says around a mouthful. Buck nods at the same time there’s a slurping noise. “Then Little Miss Buckley here decided sleeping is for fools and started doing somersaults against my stomach.”
Buck smiles at the nickname, sucking the lime juice off his thumb before grabbing another lime to cut. He looks at Eddie, his tired face but still glowing, eyes sparkly as his other hand makes its way down to the barely there bump that is their daughter.
“That means our baby’s going to be a gymnast,” Buck says fondly. “You should show more support for her hobbies, Eddie. She’s going to be an Olympic medalist.”
“Olympic medalist of making me pee myself, surely,” Eddie grumbles. In response, another wave of nausea hits, making Eddie sway visibly.
Buck hands him a lime slice without a word. Eddie shoves it in his mouth. They sit in companionable silence for a bit, then: “D’you think I have boobs?”

Summary
And here’s the thing. If Buck was paying just a little more attention, he probably would’ve clocked what the pain in his middle meant a lot sooner. It wouldn’t change the outcome, sure, but he’d at least be ahead of the curve.
The worst part is that it’s all rather obvious in retrospect, because the signs are all there. The flickering lights. The gymnasium air rippling and warping like heat off pavement. The dark patches on everyone’s suits and dresses.
He should’ve seen it.
But all he sees is Eddie. Everything else is just white noise and set dressing.

Or: Buck's never been to prom.

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
"I - uh," Buck stammers. "Sorry, I'm a little nervous."
"Yeah," Eddie huffs softly. "Me too."
"I think this is my last first kiss," Buck admits, not looking away from Eddie for even a second. The deep, familiar brown of his eyes is grounding.
"I know it's mine," Eddie says quietly.

or, one night a quiet conversation on Eddie's couch leads Buck and Eddie in a direction neither of them anticipate - especially Buck.

Summary
“That’s it?” Buck laughs. “You pulled out the big guns to ask me if I’d go to a baseball game with you?”
“You don’t like baseball,” Eddie says.
“I like you,” Buck reminds him.
Buck and Eddie go to a Dodgers game and end up on the Kiss Cam.
