    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.

    Summary

    “Don’t steal him from us. We were talking!” Maddie says to Buck.

    Buck sticks his tongue out. “I call dibs.”

    “You can’t call dibs on a person, Evan. Do we need to have the ‘people aren’t objects’ talk?”

    Buck’s hold on Eddie’s hand tightens, like Maddie was about to pull Eddie back down. He has never been more happy to be in the middle of a sibling war. Or… to be called dibs on? Eddie doesn’t know, but his heart is fluttering, and that traitorous warmth is rising in his cheeks.

    Buck is a great roommate. And then he starts kissing Eddie.

    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?
