Buck 🥰

clothes shopping is so annoying
you're shopping for clothes?
or is chris getting new stuff?
it's that or walk around naked
well with a body like yours... 😉
thanks
but I think athena would lock me up forever
I'd visit you in prison
would you sneak me in cakes with nail files inside them?
absolutely
okay, so I can just leave this store and begin my new naked life then
😂
are you saying you're naked right now?
you wish 😉
no, I’m clothed
😉
so what're you shopping for?
specifically
I know clothes
I need some new things
which one of these do you think?
img_75 (two basic henleys, side by side, one dark blue and one dark red)
why are you asking me that?
we both know you're just gonna get both of them
We're hanging out and you're helping me
oh
hm
both huh?
they both look good
and you do love your henleys
they're soooo comfy
they look comfy
anyway that's my vote
both
alright
both it is
now I need to get new jeans too
you know you could've told me you had to go shopping
I would've come with
you're welcome to join me
where are you?
nevermind
you only know like 2 stores
😅
I can be there in 20
great
I'll help you find the perfect jeans to show off that ass 😉
that's exactly what I expect you to do
I promise not to disappoint
if you do a good job I'll shout you lunch
I will do such a good job
the best job
ohh ... there's a sale on hoodies
i'm getting in the car now
good
I’ll be there soon
awesome
see you soon
👍
you'll find me trying on hoodies
*
hey
are you busy?
hiii
depends, what do you want?
can you be my taste tester?
definitely
I'm trying to figure out which is the ultimate choc chip cookie recipe
ohhh
and I need someone to help
and you need me to try every batch?? 😍
yes
exactly
I am so there
but I need you here so that you can have them warm out of the oven
great
well, of course
I don't want COLD cookies
you're gonna have to try some cold later
for best results I need to know which cookies taste the best ALL THE TIME
hm
so we taste them when they come out of the oven, and then again once they've cooled
chris can try those ones
eddie
yes?
c’mon
as if you're gonna say no when I offer them to you
cold or not
fiiiiine
I'll eat so many of your excellent cookies my new jeans won't fit anymore
then we'll just have to get you new ones again
😩
more clothes shopping
hey! i thought we had fun
it was great
any time spent with you is great
🥰
well then hurry up and get over here
just bundling chris into the car
and maybe I'll let you lick a spoon
oooh
👅
yep
that's what you use to lick things
😂
omg just get here
we're about to leave
save some chocolate for us
always
*
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
yeah?

omg what took you so long
I need HeLp
I left my phone on the bench
what’s wrong?
I have a splinter
I can't get it out
ouch
where?
in my hand
do you have any tweezers?
sure, in my first aid kit
I also have a splinter probe
but they're not WORKING
okay, so have you tried using that stuff?
ah
it's in my good hand
please come and help me
you want my help?
oh, are you busy?
no
not at all
well then, yes
I want your help
for a splinter?
… yes?
okay 😅
I'll come but I'm never letting you live this down
rude
eddie diaz, army medic, defeated by a splinter
😒
look, just come over here and hold my poor injured hand for me, will you?
😇
I’m on my way
good
thanks buck
maybe you can stay awhile
sure
awesome
I'll come keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get anymore splinters 😉
yes. I need supervision
what would you do without me?
I never want to find out
and you won't cause you're STUCK WITH ME 😜
good
you're stuck with me too
good
hey maybe you should stop texting until I get there
don't wanna make the splinter worse 😉
otherwise I might have to take you to the hospital
you're right, I'm fading
losing use of my hand
might be gangrenous at this point
HOLD ON, EDDIE
I’M COMING
STAY WITH ME
I know what will save me
what?
I need you to kiss it better
only way to heal this kind of injury
I can do that
if you want
great
I'll hold on as best I can until you get here and save me
I mean, unless it's actually gangrenous
I'm not kissing that
good idea
alright I’m almost there
I can’t wait to see you
I mean if you're that desperate you can always go to my insta
I can’t do that
'cause of my hand, you see
ohhhh right
of course
well lucky for you I'm pulling up
excellent
let yourself in, I'm in the kitchen
coming
*
FUCK
now?
OWWWW
HUH?
what’s happened?
what did you do?
I just smashed my toe 😭
ooooooouch
omg I’m dying
what angle is your toe sticking at?
idk
it just hurts
what if it’s broken?
okay, I’m on my way
omg how embarrassing
imagine if I've broken my toe just from walking in off the balcony 😭
you’re gonna be fine
I’m gonna fix it all
you are?
yep
you’re amazing
thanks buck
feel like I should be thanking you
go ahead 😊
thank you eddie 😍
you’re very welcome
how long til you get here?
traffic's pretty light, I should be there in 10 mins
uggghhhhh so long
sing a song while you wait
what song?
idk
... bat out of hell
that goes for like 10 mins
idk that song
👀
time to educate yourself
open youtube
do I have to?
I'm not gonna force you
okay fine I'll listen to it
good boy
😊
are you here yet?
just parked
😍
I’ll be there in a sec
I’ll be here
*
you're not busy, right?
not especially
why?
I thought you might like to come over and hang out with the world's best kid who misses you like crazy
and I’ll be home too
picture me racing down the stairs and flinging myself into my car in my rush to come over
I am picturing you
some very impressive acrobatics
I’m very acrobatic
I didn't know you could do a flying somersault
there's a lot you don't know about me
good thing I have permission to imagine it all
you do
you can imagine anything and everything you like
👀
what an offer
do you mean it?
well
I'd rather you don't imagine me tripping and falling on my face
but yeah
😅
don't hurt me in your imagination please
alright
are you being kind to the me in your head?
I'm being beyond good to the you in my head
beyond good??
mhm
what are you doing to me?
.............
I’m not telling you
it’s private
only I'm allowed in my head
it involves ME
imaginary you
still me!
independent OF you
alright, I'll tell you what
if you can GUESS what I'm thinking, I'll tell you if you're right
oooohhhh
do I have unlimited guesses?
no
you have ... two guesses
TWO!?!??
yes
come on give me at least 5
FIVE??
yeah!
no way
4?
uh uh
20?
............
😇
okay okay, 3?
please?
..... fine
3
okay
wow I'm all anxious now
only 3 chances to find out…
you'll never get it
are you imagining giving me a massage?
… no
okay um
are you imagining...... something sexual?
...............
well
I guess that depends on your definition of sexual
???
sexual is sexual!
yeah
but what YOU consider sexual might not be sexual for ME
and vice versa
omg what the hell
what?
you’re confusing me
just tell me what you're imagining?
nuh uh
you have one guess left
damn
okay
are you imagining us kissing?
… I wasn’t
😩
what's that emoji for?
does this mean you're not gonna tell me???
oh
I guess not
I'm gonna be forever jealous of the me in your head now
why?
you don't know what I'm doing to him
cause he knows what's happening
you said it was beyond good!
😂
hey
yeah?
did you want me to be kissing you?
in my imagination
just seems like a ... strange? thing to guess
you said I'd never guess
so I was trying to think of things that were.... a bit out there?
oh
plus you also said our definition of sexual might be different
right
and I thought maybe you saw kissing as really sexual whereas in my mind it's just foreplay
idk
.............
was it weird that I guessed that?
idk
it's no weirder than what I was actually thinking
I'm just surprised that you thought that I might be thinking of us kissing
............
if it's no weirder than what you're actually thinking then why are you surprised I'd think it?
well, I guess ....
I think I’m confused
honestly?
me too 😅
great
anyway um
were you serious about chris missing me?
yeah, of course
okay
I should come over then
yes please
we have a new game
I've just been sitting in my car this whole time 😅
what game?
it’s a surprise
but it’s three player
👀
alright
on my way
