    Summary

    “So,” says Buck, pulling away from Eddie’s mouth. “I’m living in your house.”

    “You are."

    “Do you think— I mean, I should do something, right? To show my, uh. Appreciation.”

    Eddie squints at him.

    “Is this a bit?” he says.

    Summary

    When he looked up, Eddie’s eyes were bright, focused. He was a little flushed, and his shoulders were soft but his jaw was set. “I love you,” he said.
    “I love you, too, man,” Buck said. “But you know what I mean.”
    “I do know,” Eddie said. “Buck, I’m trying to tell you something.”

    Summary

    Which brings Eddie to his current predicament: drowning in love and unable to do a thing about it, all while being subjected to his criminally attractive best friend sauntering around sans a shirt at every hour of the goddamn day.

    Morning toothbrushing? Shirtless. After school video games? Shirtless. Reading on the couch? Shirtless. Weeding the garden in LA summer sunshine? Shirtless and sweaty. Asleep half a foot of bedspace away from Eddie? There aren’t even pants involved. Existing day-to-day seems to have become a topless event where Buck is concerned, because Eddie has apparently racked up enough overdue penance for several lifetimes.

     

    or, eddie loves living with his best friend. he just really wishes buck would put on a fucking shirt

    Summary

    “Did you ever go to Hershey?”

    “What?” Eddie asked, thrown. “Why would I go to Hershey without you?” he asked, picking up a dish towel and drying off the plates in in the drying rack.

    “When you were younger, I mean,” Buck clarified. “For your ballroom dancing.”

    “I think I would—” Eddie paused on his way to grab a new plate, thinking. He met Buck’s face with an equally confused expression and said, “actually, now that you’re saying it . . . yeah.” He looked surprised by his own answer. “Yeah, Tara and I went our junior year. Damn, I can’t believe I forgot about that.”

    “I think we met.”

    ----

    In 2008, an unlikely interaction occurred; in 2025, Buck remembers.

    Summary

    “I just don’t see what the big deal is,” Chimney says, joining them at the table. “Why don’t you just go on the trip, Buck? Take Eddie. We can get your shifts covered, it’s, what—three nights?”

    “The big deal,” Buck says in exasperation, slamming his fork down, “is that it’s a couples retreat. For couples.”

    “And?” Chimney raises his eyebrows, still not buying it.

    “And I entered the giveaway when Tommy and I were still together!” Buck snaps. ”I don’t want t-to—it would just feel weird, okay? It’s supposed to be all—like, romantic. Flower petals on the bed and stuff.”

    Buck and Eddie take a romantic getaway. Platonically.
