Summary
“Maddie and I are doing dinner with the Lees,” Chimney says. “They’re gonna spoil the kids, and then we have to get Jee to sleep somehow.”
Eddie is glaring at the pricing page when the thought hits. “Is Buck going with you?”
Chimney freezes. “Buck. Right, Buck.”
“You forgot your own brother-in-law?” Hen mocks. “That's really the Christmas spirit, Chim.”
“They won't care if he comes. I'll just text Maddie, and we'll get that sorted.”
“No,” Eddie says, and not only because he's looking at a good deal on a flight and two hotel rooms. “I'll invite him to come with us.”
Or: Eddie brings Buck home for the holidays. He's a safe harbor amongst Diaz family drama.

Summary
Eddie barely lets Buck put his bags down in entryway before he’s on him, pulling Buck into his arms by his lapels and kissing him soundly.
“But the fireplace,” Buck tries to protest, because the fireplace was very important to picking the house, but Eddie swallows his words.
“Later.” Eddie bites at his lower lip and then surges inside, licking at Buck’s teeth, his tongue. He has a point; Eddie’s kisses are more important than the fireplace.
or: I mean, Eddie deserves a vacation

Summary
'Buck,' Eddie says again, closer now and Buck turns around at last, 'why are you here?'
'I wanted to be here for May,' he says, 'I'm not here to cause trouble.'
'Bit late for that. I haven't seen you in five years, Buck. You ignored me for five years.'
Buck doesn't answer, just fixes Eddie with an inscrutable look.
'So you’re gay now?' he says, flatly.
Eddie shrugs, 'sure.'
'What does that mean?'
'Gay, bi, queer. It doesn’t matter.'
'If you fuck dudes now it matters,' spits Buck.
'Why?’ Eddie throws back, ‘because I never fucked you?'
*
After Bobby died Buck left LA without a word. Five years later Eddie bumps into him at May and Ravi’s wedding. Is it too late for them to find their way back to each other? Do they want closure or something more?

Summary
‘You’re bi, right?’ Chloe says to Buck, raising her voice over the music playing slightly too loud in this bar.
Buck beams at her, it still feels fresh, an exciting thing to tell people, ‘yeah!’
‘What about your friend,’ her eyes cut to Eddie and Buck frowns.
‘Oh, no, he's—.’
‘Sure,’ Eddie speaks over him and Buck does an actual double take. Did he know that? He didn’t know that. He should have known that. Especially before they agreed to a threesome with this very pretty but totally random stranger.
Chloe is oblivious to his internal panic, it seems, although Eddie might have some idea, watching Buck closely, inscrutably, a smile ticking up at the corner of his mouth.
*
Buck and Eddie have a threesome; it's more revealing than they might have intended. Or is it?

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.
