    Summary

    While he was well aware that to others it might seem stupid to still be in this in between phase, stuck somewhere between friends and something more, Eddie enjoyed it.

    He let himself enjoy the way his face flushed and skin buzzed around the other man, leaned into casual touches and gave back his own, enjoyed the way he would sometimes get stuck in a memory of their past experiences and life together and smile to himself. He liked the nervous-excited feeling in his chest whenever Buck was around, took his time in really taking in all the ways his body reacted when he really, genuinely liked and loved someone instead of the way he felt whenever he’d tried to convince himself of the same in the past.

    And Buck let him.

    ...

    Eddie moves back to LA with Chris. Buck and his relationship develops. Step by step.

    Summary

    Physically, Buck was ready to accept a baby into his home. Mentally? He wasn’t sure. He knew he wanted this, wanted her. He had always wanted a baby, a family, but now it was actually happening, the legal documents signed, sealed, delivered, he worried that he wasn’t up to it.

    Panic raised as a lump in his throat, but as if he could read his thoughts, Eddie placed a hand on his leg. “This is good Buck, it's great!” it was such a simple sentence, but Eddie’s sureness was enough to dampen the panic, their eyes met and Buck grinned at him in response.

    “You think so?” he couldn’t help but ask.

    “You found her, isn’t that like a sign from the universe?” Eddie knocked their knees together.

    “You don’t believe in signs from the universe.” Buck shot back.

    “You do,” Eddie said softly, his gaze unwavering, “and I believe in you.”

    Or

    Buck finds a baby, Eddie finds himself.

    Summary

    The memories aren’t fully fleshed out, only flashes of places, people, and feelings. Sometimes they’re tangible, so much so he feels like he can reach it within his fingertips and hold them there.

    He’d be washing dishes, and he’d feel the phantom arms of Eddie around his waist, the junction of his neck and shoulder feeling warm. For a flash, he’d see a different kitchen than the one he was in. He’d be looking at a menu in a restaurant, and he thinks he’d hear Eddie’s voice asking, ‘You gonna order the usual?’ When he glances down at the table, he’d be surprised he’s not seeing a deep green tablecloth. He’d doze off on the couch and feel his cheek land on Eddie’s chest, arms wrapping around him, and he’d open his eyes to find himself alone.

    How do you explain that away? Missing something you can’t fully remember having?

    Or, Evan Buckley wakes up without eight years of his memories with some guy named Eddie Diaz on his bedside. Which could mean nothing.

    Summary

    Eddie’s gaze drop to Buck’s lips—pink, like his birthmark. Eddie wants to taste those lips, and he wants it with a fierceness so sudden it shocks him.

     

    “I’m, uh,” Buck stammers. “Last night. When you saw me and Tommy…we—we were on a date.”

     

    Everything inside Eddie goes still. If his heart is a kite, then this is the moment it plummets back to earth.

     

    or, Buck tells Eddie some news. Eddie has a realization and breaks up with his girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.

    But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.

    Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.

    Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.

    “Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”

    ____

    OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?
