Summary
"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."
Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"
"Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."
And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.
***
After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?Series

Summary
“Skydive. Kiss someone in the rain. Go on a road trip... Get into a bar fight?”
Buck groaned, snatching the paper back. “Don’t judge sixteen-year-old me. He had dreams.”
Hen leaned forward. “Oh, we’re judging. Sixteen-year-old you has handed us a gift—insight into all of your questionable teenage priorities.”
Buck crossed his arms, glaring at her. “Hey, some of it’s respectable! ‘Learn to surf?’ Solid goal. ‘Save a life?’ Pretty sure I've nailed that one.”
“Get into a bar fight, though?”
“I thought it’d make me look cool!”
Or, when Evan Buckley finds the bucket list he wrote as a teenager, he decides there’s no time like the present to complete it.

Summary
Buck doesn’t take his hands off Eddie’s shoulders as he glances over to Athena and Nash, who are watching the display calibrate. “How’d we do?”
“See for yourself,” Athena says.
Bad, Eddie thinks.
But he can’t read her – doesn’t know what it’s going to say. For all he knows, he’s going to look up and the words Eddie Diaz Should Be Dead will be flashing across the screen. He half-expects it.
He wants to brace Buck for it, for the disappointment – wants to explain that whatever has screwed his compatibility scores till now, this one is all on Eddie.
“Oh, shit…” Buck whispers.
Eddie lifts his head, finally lets himself look, and then takes an inhale so sharp he tastes blood.
Oh, shit.

Summary
Buck skidded to a halt, horror etched across his face. “Ed-Eddie,” he stammered. “Please, just… I’ll block his number, I’ll delete the thread, just… Stop scrolling and give me my phone. Please.”
“Relax Buck,” Eddie retorted, rolling his eyes at him while still scrolling. “I may not be great with technology but I know how to block a conta—” and proceeded to choke on his own tongue.
Suddenly, it all fell into place: why Buck was so adamant about getting his phone back, why he didn't want Eddie to keep scrolling.
Because in Eddie Diaz’s hand was a picture of his best friend on his knees, dick in hand. His piercing blue eyes glancing up at the camera like they were looking right at him.

Summary
Neil turns his attention back to Andrew, watching as he fixes a jammed printer by kicking the tray with full force. “What do you know about him?”
“He went to juvie for a few years,” Matt says. “There’s a rumor that he’s killed someone, or maybe it was two people. Anyways, people call him a psychopath. He always carries at least ten knives on him at all times.”
“Ten knives,” Neil repeats blandly.
“Just telling you what I’ve heard,” Matt says with a shrug.

The new librarian has a reputation. Neil doesn't believe any of it.
