    Summary

    “You fucked him,” Buck says, easy as two plus two.

    “I mean—” and Eddie cuts himself off immediately. He doesn’t know if correcting Buck and saying he fucked me is the best course of action at this point.

    Buck stares, almost hopeful, as if expecting Eddie to follow it up with a negative on the accusation. I mean, that’s not what happened or, I mean, that’s clearly lotion on the bed, dumbass. Buck stares and stares, and the hope withers and dies, and he finally lets out a short, disbelieving laugh that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

    “Jesus, Eddie. So what— what, you fuck men now? Were you even gonna tell me?”

    Or, Eddie sleeps with the Boston firefighter, and Buck takes it about as well as you'd expect. What's a little roughhousing between friends, anyway?

    Summary

    It hits Buck in the Costco frozen pizza aisle on a Wednesday morning in the middle of October.
    I wanna hold his hand, Buck thinks, followed immediately by What the fuck?, and punctuated with a No, seriously, what the fuck was that?
    ____
    or: Buck realizes he's in love with Eddie, promptly crashes out about it, cries about it, and then fucks Eddie nasty and tender about it, in that order

    Summary

    “He looks so happy,” Jackie said, joining him at the railing. She rested her head against his shoulder, wrapped an arm around his waist. “It’s really nice to see.”

    “Yeah, it really is,” Hayden said. He sighed heavily. “Fuck. I’m gonna have to start liking Ilya Rozanov, aren’t I?”

    Jackie giggled, rubbing his back in a placating manner. “I’m afraid so, babe.”

    OR

    5 times Hayden started understanding Shane and Ilya's relationship, and the 1 time he finally told Shane he did.

    Summary

    “Oh God,” Shane whines, tugging on the drawstrings of his hoodie. “I can’t find my phone. I don’t know how I’ll get home.”

    “Hollander,” Rozanov scoffs incredulously. “You are on phone call with me. Phone is in your hand.” A sigh crackles through the receiver. “Where are you? I will come get you.”

    Summary

    And suddenly, filling his entire screen, Rozanov was grinning into the camera with a row of bloody teeth. His lip was split. When he wiped his mouth with the back of his bare hand, it came away streaked with red. He spat the rest onto the ice with an awful smile and a wink before getting to his feet.


    Jane: Can you stay in the dressing room?

    Lily: Are you asking or telling?

    Jane: You hate being told what to do.

    Lily: Not when it's you

    Jane: Stay.

    Jane: You looked really fucking good taking that hit.
