Summary
Buck always assumed he knew everyone in US tennis.
Even before he played professionally, he was watching Maddie compete. He'd entered every single tournament that would take him since age 11. He’s been on the Tour since he was 17.
But he’s never met Edmundo Diaz.

Summary
After he's satisfied with the videos on his phone he looks at Eddie, "So, besides you being bad at tiktok and having the cutest kid on the planet—who is absolutely welcome in the studio any time, by the way—is there anything else I should know before we become dance partners?"
Maybe it's the cocky grin on Buck's face or the way Eddie can feel the start of something in his gut when he looks at Buck, but either way he says, "I don't do showmances. We're going to win this season, but I'm not getting votes by making doe eyes at you and leaking rumors to the press."
"What if they're not rumors?" Buck waggles his eyebrows.

Summary
Buck’s tongue darts across his bottom lip. He doesn’t say what he’s thinking: that the fight has never been just about points or podiums. That every race between them has felt like a confession they’re too afraid to say out loud. That maybe if Eddie would just blink first, he could finally breathe.
Instead, he says, “Turn 1’s mine.”
Eddie raises an eyebrow. “If you make it there.”
They’re so close now, Buck can see the way Eddie’s throat works as he swallows, the way his knuckles twitch like he’s resisting the same instinct.
Buck exhales slow. “You always push me.”
Eddie doesn’t hesitate. “You always chase.”
Or: They were teammates. Then rivals. Then something more.
From Abu Dhabi to Monaco, through podium battles, press room stares, and one unforgettable night in Vegas, this is a story of speed, silence, and the impossible gravity of love at 300 km/h.

"I'm not accusing you of anything," Maddie assures him, mirth still twinkling in her eyes. "But you have to admit, it does seem like a natural progression."
"To be in love with Buck?" Eddie asks incredulously.

Summary
Buck never thought he had this kink. He’s like, pretty convinced he knows everything there is to know about his own likes and dislikes and attractions and whatnot, but this? This fucking weird fantasy that’s playing in his head like he’s the subject of a strange student-teacher love affair? Buck’s going to Google the highest bridge in Los Angeles and jump off. Because it’s fucking glasses that are doing it for him. Glasses.

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.

Summary
“What the hell is this?” Evan Buckley storms into the office without knocking, tossing his phone onto the desk.
“The LA Kings have signed forward Eddie Diaz (@EDiaz82) to a five year contract” it reads. Buck doesn’t need to see it to know. He’s stared at it long enough already. There’s a graphic of Eddie Diaz and his stupidly pretty face beneath it, in his old Dallas Stars green and white, mouth open as he skates the puck up the ice. He’d looked at the replies, all of the “omg”s and heart-eyes emojis and 280-character amateur analysis of Diaz’s skills. He’d scrolled until he’d hit the inevitable “so when are we trading buckley?” tweets, and then he’d stormed into Bobby’s office without thinking about it twice.
“Management got you a centreman,” Bobby says, perfectly calm. “I thought you would be happy.”
“Well, I’m not,” Buck says. “I don’t need a center. And even if I did, I don’t need Eddie Diaz."

Summary
He’s so close. But Buck’s face sways even closer, eyes laser-focused on Eddie’s mouth, like he wants to ensure that what he whispers next make its way inside:
“The quiet, closeted catastrophe of Edmundo Diaz—performed nightly for an audience of none.”
Eddie flinches like the words hit skin. For a second, all the noise in his head goes silent, leaving gaping awareness and the awful, naked feeling of being seen.
“W-what—” Eddie’s voice cracks and he’s trying to frown, trying to be mad, but he feels exposed, so his words come out broken, quiet and confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Summary
After Eddie goes through an entire box of Frank’s tissues in a week and finally manages to read through those reddit stories without flinching, he tells Frank, “I think I want to have sex. Like with a man. Gay sex.”
Frank tilts his head, pressing the tip of his middle finger against the space between his eyebrows, and sighs. He makes a note — Eddie wonders, half-hysterical, if he’s writing down the words gay sex — and then taps the end of his pen against his knee as he meets Eddie’s eyes.
“Do I have to tell you that you don’t have to?” Frank asks, mild.

Summary
Bobby clears his throat, flustered. “Nothing you say will convince me to let you engage in PDA in this firehouse.”
“But outside of the firehouse is okay?” Buck pitches. “Like, for instance, in the engine?”
“Absolutely not,” Bobby says sternly. Buck deflates. “Just… find it within yourselves to be professional for the rest of the shift. Please.”
“It’s okay, Cap,” Eddie says, with a smile equal parts charming and reassuring. “We’ll behave. Right, Buck?”
“Yeah,” Buck agrees— not because he wants to, but because he’s pretty sure he would do anything Eddie ever told him to. “What’s another 46 hours?”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and their first shift as a couple.

Summary
Eddie’s mind wandered to the red folder, tucked high up in the back of his closet. He recalled back to a conversation he had with Buck, almost a year ago at this point:
“It’s an insurance policy; a break glass in case of emergency. A trump card.”
“One I really hope we’ll never have to use.”
“But if we have to, we’ll be really glad we did this.”
When hospital policy doesn't allow Chris, as an unrelated minor, to visit a comatose post-lightning strike Buck in the ICU, Eddie has a solution. Unfortunately, that involves sharing some pretty personal information in a waiting room filled with the 118.

Summary
Eddie leaned down towards Buck, and Buck instinctually put his hand out to rest on Eddie’s side. Eddie’s arms landed on either side of Buck on the couch. And then Eddie was in his space, his lips pressing briefly to Buck’s cheek.
“Thanks, Buck,” Eddie said, still so, so close to Buck. “I’ll see you at home.”
He said goodbye to the rest of the crew, and then he was gone, his boots thunking down the stairs.
or,
Eddie kisses Buck goodbye. They aren't together yet.
