Summary
"You know, everybody kept pestering me about you. Back home. Asking if I had feelings for you.”
The casual remark catches Eddie off guard. Did he really fail to see the writing on the wall? Writing so obvious to everyone, apparently?
“What do you mean, everyone? Who’s everyone?”
Buck gives an unconcerned shrug. “Tommy. Maddie. Hen and Chim. But I kept telling them I couldn’t have feelings because you were straight—”
“—pretty sure that’s not how that works,” Eddie interjects, but Buck ignores him.
“—but I suppose I didn’t want to admit I was a loser pathetically head over heels in love with my best friend, too afraid to risk our friendship by telling him.”***
Ever since Eddie's move to Texas, he's had a simple recipe to fix problems: call Buck. Parents driving him crazy? Buck. He needs to figure out a recipe? Facetime with Buck. His friend always has his back.
So when Eddie can’t fall asleep? He calls Buck. Only this time, there are complications. This time, Eddie realizes that maybe, he wants more than calls from his best friend. And maybe he doesn't want to stay just friends, either.
