    Summary

    “We get out of the room. We stay together. We don’t answer the phone.”

    “And we don’t split up.”

    On a road trip gone very wrong, Buck and Eddie must stop for the night at The Four Aces, a beautiful, impossible motel in the middle of the desert that seems to know exactly how to hurt them. As hallways stretch, rooms shift, and phones ring with familiar voices, the motel begins weaponizing everything they refuse to say: Buck’s fear of being useful but not chosen, Eddie’s guilt and repression, and the life they’ve built together without ever naming it.

    The only way out is through — and this time they have to go together.

    Summary

    “How come you’re still awake?” Buck asks, antsy. He pulls at a loose thread inside one pocket with pinched fingers, rapidly picking apart the stitching. Better to unravel that than eight years of friendship all because said friend’s shorts have ridden up agonizingly at the thigh.

    “I was waiting for you to get back. You’re kind of early, though.” Eddie’s eyes are tracked to the TV, but they dart over at Buck when he asks, “You strike out with Dixie?”

    Which… Buck doesn’t even know where to start. He desperately needs to buy a vowel.

    “Huh? Why—what—did I miss a text?”

    Eddie, sat cross-legged on top of pearly-white cotton sheets, a vision so soft it’s making Buck dizzy, has the audacity to look puzzled. “Not from me. Why?”

    or: Eddie leaves a light on for Buck.

    Summary

    Buck forces himself to slow down, take a second. Replay the last five minutes in his head. He can look at this logically, assess the facts: he and Eddie had gone out. He and Eddie had a few drinks. He and Eddie had been shooting the shit and now he’s rifling through his nightstand, grabbing for a device that keeps your dick from getting hard.

    Because Buck said he’d show it. To Eddie.

    Summary

    The bruises mottle Buck’s skin, like paint splattered clumsily on a canvas. Except—the artist behind this, whoever they are, clearly went about it with intent and precision. A curator of hickeys; Buck’s pale thighs like the walls of a gallery. A thriving one, at that. It’s… a lot of marks.

    Eddie wonders if it hurts. Well—he knows that part already, at least based on what Buck told him a few minutes ago. So instead, Eddie starts to wonder if it hurt. The procedure behind the photo; the act of being marked up so irrefutably.

    Buck reacts to Eddie’s thumbs up message with a thumbs down.

    Buck: I just accidentally sexted you dude
    Don’t 👍👍👍👍 me

    Or: Eddie receives an unintended photo. Then he bites some thighs about it.

    Summary

    "It's just not very Christ-like," Dolores nods at Helena, her eyes closing like the whole thing is causing her physical pain.

    "And with Christmas right around the corner!" Helena cries, her hand finding Dolores's shoulder.

    Eddie has to turn away from the two women just so he can roll his eyes. Chris catches Eddie's eyes when he turns back around. He thinks there might be a smirk on the kid's face, but he doesn't have enough time to say for sure.

    He's really mostly tuned out of the conversation, catching snips and snaps here and there, but he finally narrows in when he hears Dolores say a dreaded word.

    Maricón.

    Eddie's been living in LA for almost a decade. It's not like he never hears the word, but it's a shock to his system, ice cold water poured all over him. His eyes snap to Chris, looking for recognition. He never taught Chris that word, but Chris had been in homophobic Texas for months before Eddie got there. He has no clue what nonsense Ramon and Helena or anyone else has stuffed into his kid's head like tissue paper in a glossy gift bag.

    Or: Eddie goes to Texas after Halloween.
