    Summary

    Buck’s voice was soft and hesitant, but full of patience when he finally spoke again. “Did I do something to upset you, Chris? I can leave—”

    “No!” Chris whirled on him, a complete shift from the standoffish vibe he had been giving a second ago. The tears he bravely held back finally broke free from his eyes, sliding down his rosy cheeks from behind his glasses. He shook his head vehemently, the yellow crayon falling to the table. “No, I’m not mad. Please…” His words turned to whimpers, his lip trembling. “Please don’t leave me too.”

    Summary

    Eddie huffed out a breath. “I’m having a crisis.”
    And Bobby, he wasn’t proud of it, but the word ‘finally’ was flashing in front of his eyes in giant, neon yellow letters, because surely, surely this meant that he’d figured it out. Finally, at long last, Eddie was having the crisis they’d all been waiting for since he’d started a thousand emergencies earlier.

    Bobby waited, silent and hopeful, relieved that they’d finally gotten there.

    “I think I’m homophobic.”

    Bobby blinked at him.

    “I’m sorry?”

    OR -

    Five times Bobby tried to gently hold Buddie's hands and tell them they were in love, and one time they got the picture.

    Summary

    Christopher’s school project—interviewing friends and family about a significant event—seems innocent enough. But when he chooses the moment his dad met Buck as his topic, it becomes clear: this isn’t just homework, it’s the perfect opportunity for matchmaking.

    And if he pulled it off? Well, that would be the most significant event of all.

    Summary

    “You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”

    Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”

    There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:

    “It meant something.”

    There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.

    “I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”

    ~

    Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.
