Summary
It had been two weeks since they had done more than sleepily peck each other’s lips across a shared pillow before passing out curled together like quotation marks. “I’m too tired to even grope you,” Buck lamented over coffee the next morning, dawn barely a rumor in the window above the sink. They’d woken tangled together in Eddie’s bed, fumbled through possibly the least romantic shared shower they’d ever had including the half-injured ones before they got together, and dressed.
“It’s serious, then,” Eddie replied dryly.
“You haven’t groped me, either,” Buck said. It was, sadly, a winning argument. Eddie conceded the point immediately.

Summary
“Apparently that’s a family trait. I’ve seen your dad house a sweet potato the size of his skull at a steakhouse,” Buck says.
“Buy him one tonight and stick the ring in it,” Chris suggests slyly, taking a big squishy peanut-buttery bite of his English muffin immediately after as Buck sputters in response.
Ruby seizes the opportunity to snatch the food packet from him completely, retreating toward the back of the high chair and clutching it in both fists while giving him the baleful Diaz glare like she’s just daring him to take it back. She has two teeth and she will use them. Buck grins at her. “It’s all yours, baby Squash. You can eat it,” he promises then he shoots a glare at Chris.
“What? He’s gonna say yes,” Chris says, rolling his eyes. “He’s obsessed with you. We talked about it before we moved in here.”
“You two talked about him marrying me?” Buck says slowly.
“Duh. Like I said. He’s obsessed with you. So lock it down. I only want to move again when we have to because you guys keep having more babies,” Chris says.

Summary
“Christ, you’re a lucky bastard,” Todd, the bear, says to Buck, shaking his head. Eddie blinks and finally looks at him instead. “A man this gorgeous in your bed and he only looks at you.”
Buck’s cheeks turn bright red. “I’m pretty obsessed with him, too,” he says, scratching the back of his neck.
Todd claps a hand on his back, laughing. “Well, thank you for letting me join tonight.”
“He’s been rolling around like a cat in heat all afternoon, begging for it,” Buck says. Eddie arches his back in response, lifting his ass higher. They both laugh. “I felt so bad telling him no, that it would feel even better if he waited for you.”

Summary
Eddie gasps and arches into the touch, dropping eye contact with the man to their right. “Tonight you’re just mine, though,” Buck growls in his ear.
“He’s busy with other girls, Buck,” Eddie says as sternly as he can manage. It just sounds breathy to his own ears, though. “He’s just enjoying his view of what’s yours.”
“Show off,” Buck scolds with no heat at all.

Buck pulls back a bit, pausing to spread lube on more of his forearm above his wrist. Then he stops and flashes Eddie a smirk. “You know, I’ve got a depth marker here,” he says. “My tattoo. On my forearm. The lines.”

Summary
“Eddie, I am definitely not going to date anyone else now,” Buck said, straightening up and frowning.
Eddie could feel himself flush, hating once again that his cheeks always showed his feelings. “I mean, you can,” he stuttered. “This doesn’t change anything—”
“Why do you always say that?” Buck snapped, pulling back. Another tear crested his waterline on the other side and he sniffled and swiped at it furiously with one hand. “That—that nothing will change. I tell you something life-changing and you assure me nothing will change,” Buck said, looking devastated. “I want things to change, Eddie. I want you to want things to change. I want you to want things, period.”

Summary
Eddie rolls his eyes. “Do I want to enjoy a soak in a hot tub on a pleasantly cool night, soothing my aching muscles and aging joints, possibly while drinking a beer and enjoying the company of my best friend? Yes? I am not insane.”
“I just… I figured you’d be one of those ‘hot tubs just make people soup’ people.” Buck grimaces. Eddie grimaces back.
“No one I would rather become soup with, bud,” Eddie agrees.

Buck and Eddie test out the hot tub on Buck’s patio. And the ground next to it. And the bed.

Summary
“I don’t want this to be how this started,” Buck says. He grips the sink behind him and stays still. He can’t be the one to break the glass. He’s already full of grief and guilt and regret. There’s no room for more. No room for anything else, not even Eddie.
“This isn’t how this started,” Eddie says finally. He turns and looks at Buck. “We’ve both looked away so many times.”

Summary
Tonight is Buck’s housewarming party. Eddie drops Chris off at a friend’s and shows up hours early, desperate to have all of Buck’s attention to himself for a little while, with a case of beer and some of those flat yellow mangoes that taste the best. Buck lights up when he sees them, immediately turning to grab a paring knife to start butchering one before Eddie’s even set the beer down in the granite countertop next to the fridge.

Summary
Buck’s hair is gray at the temples, buzzed neatly on the sides and a bit longer and curlier on top than Chris remembers him wearing it, and there’s a new scar through one of his eyebrows. He looks good, like he’s living a happy life, and the only possible reason Chris can imagine for Buck to be here at Helena Diaz’s funeral in El Paso is that Chris’s father brought him.
“Why would you come?” Chris snaps at him.
Buck blinks. “Why wouldn’t I come?”
“She didn’t mean anything to you.”
“I’m not here for her,” Buck scoffs. “She is dead. I’m here for him.”
or
Chris is forced to grapple with the choice he made eleven years ago when his father comes back for Helena’s funeral.
