    Summary

    "Okay," Eddie says, shaking his head like he's throwing off the laughter. "Touch my ass."

    "What?"

    "The only way for us to face this is to jump in. So, touch my ass."

    Buck untangles his arms from around Eddie. "I think the mood's gone."

    "Oh, c'mon," Eddie whines. "I promise I won't laugh."

    "I don't want to do it anymore."

    That earns him a raised eyebrow. "You don't want to touch my ass?"

    "Eddie—"

    "Just touch my ass."

    "Stop saying ass."

    "Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass—"

    Side effects may include laughter during sex, moody teens, competitive streaks a mile wide, and the ability to (somewhat) effectively communicate.

    or...Finally together, Buck and Eddie navigate their developing relationship. Eddie’s laughter at the thought of sex and Chris’s passive aggressive mixed signals don’t help a spiraling Buck’s mourning of an imagined loss of friendship. Meanwhile, Eddie comes to terms with his identity and it means for him. Featuring too much information shared during wine nights, zoo trips with a gaggle of kids, and an exhausted Ravi.

    Summary

    It’s not like it’s a surprise. He knows Eddie can take his weight, he’s watched him for years carrying heavy equipment and lifting patients. He knows what Eddie benches at the gym. It’s just– it’s one thing to be conceptually aware of something and another to be handed incontrovertible proof of it. Plus, this is Buck at his biggest, his broadest, his strongest. He’s tall and heavy, he isn’t an easy man to carry, most people would find it impossible and lots more would struggle, and here’s Eddie, catching him like it’s nothing.

    *

    Buck discovers Eddie is strong enough to take his weight and then proceeds to be really normal about that fact, repeatedly.

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.

    Summary

    “I'm gay.”

    He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.

    But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.

    He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.

    in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.
