Chapter Text
"Wow," Buck scoffs, shaking his head. "That's- that's low. Even for you."
"Buck-"
"No. No don't- don't talk to me. Don't even look at me. I can't even- I can't be around you right now."
"Buck-"
"I mean it!"
"Buck come on," Eddie begs, sitting on Buck's couch. Buck is standing a few feet away, staring with Eddie with a broken-hearted expression.
"No, Eddie. You- you just- I need you to leave. Now."
"Buck," Eddie sighs.
"You just broke my heart, Eddie."
"Buck, don't you think you might be...?"
"Be what?" Buck demands, narrowing his eyes.
"Overreacting? Just a bit?"
"Overreacting?" Buck repeats. Eddie sighs as Buck steps closer. "OVERREACTING?" He throws up his hands. "He thinks I'm overreacting. Of course. Because I'm always overreacting."
"Buck-"
"I am NOT overreacting, Eddie. You- this is my last straw."
"All I said-"
"STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM."
"Listen-"
"You think that STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM is the best milkshake flavor."
"I didn't say it was the best-"
"I asked what you wanted and you said STRAWBERRY," Buck shouts.
"Yeah, I'm craving-"
"UNACCEPTABLE."
"Buck, c'mon, it's not that big a deal-"
"You're not the one that's gonna have to kiss someone who just drank a strawberry milkshake."
Eddie sighs. "Fine," he concedes. "Fine, then what flavor do you want me to get?"
A grin stretches across Buck's face. "Vanilla, duh."
"And why is that a duh?"
"Because," Buck says matter-of-factly, plopping down on the couch beside Eddie. "If I get chocolate and you get vanilla, when we kiss we get a black-and-white!"
Eddie laughs, shaking his head and looking at Buck with nothing but adoration in his eyes. "You're ridiculous, you know that?"
"Yeah," Buck sighs. He looks over and grins at Eddie. "But you love it."
"Yeah," Eddie agrees, taking Buck's chin in his fingers and drawing him in for a kiss. "I do."
